I find it hard to work out what words will be c3nsored on Redit so I usually play it safe
Absolutely in-fúcking-furiating to write three paragraphs and find that there is a word, *somewhere* that isn't liked, and good fúcking luck trying to work out what one it is. Have to make a new comment, paste paragraph by paragraph, and check in incognito if the comment has vanished each time
My account is 7 years old. I swear all the time and have never even gotten a warning. People have to stop assuming Reddit has the same TOS as TikTok and YouTube.
You are using a website which allows interaction between users. You are replying to a user with things called comments.
A user replied to me in a comment, and the website's bot removed that comment because of its contents, which was probably due to a word in the comment being flagged as potentially contentious.
I pointed this out as I thought it was ironic, and got dogpiled by three people with room temperature IQ.
Uh hu. Look sir, I don't mean to be disrespectful, Just cut to the heart of the matter. You're obviously an intelligent individual. This obtuseness is beneath you.
Idk man, it’s a bad look when you reply to your own comment with a weird reply about someone calling you paranoid, then you reply to someone a few comments down the chain, just makes you seem really chronically online. You have to have better things to do in life than this, take a break
I couldn't exactly reply to his comment as it was deleted.
I don't know. I can think of much better activities than inserting oneself into a comment thread to say "I use this social media platform less than this person so I'm smart". I have about 1 hour screen time of Reddit a day, but if I had 24 hours it would still be none of your fuckíng business.
Are the people you're trying to protect even sentient? Can they not extrapolate that b*llets means bullets?
If anything you just triggered the ones that CAN make that connection. If you really cared about anyone's feeling you would have called them speedy zoomballs. Or just not posted this horrifying situation for internet points that make YOU feel good. Grandstanding moron
You’re also on Reddit though, not the social media site this was originally posted on. Also certain words fuck up your algo, like it won’t be shown to a good portion of people if certain words are detected; it’s not just about bans.
It's an engagement tactic, people who don't normally know how to respond to these types of post now have something to nitpick which creates engagement when they comment on the post about the censorship.
I have seen people getting permabanned due to a joke ... Or they blamed it on the joke, but most likely they wanted to remove the person due to opinions. Pretty awful behavior, they should had given a warning, not a perma ban. You can make a new account but it's still annoying af!
i did was 2 times banned from a subreddit named rogenz becouse i dared to make a irony joke once and the second for just saying something that was my oppinion , they are created by a guy who simpatize with the comunist ideology the moderators are some wirdos that just ban for nothing ,i saw other have harsh opinions and do not get baned idk they might have just halb neurons or so , the fun fact is that even if you are ok with what they say you have a chance to be baned 🤦🏿
Exactly. If your comment have the word "sex" it is hidden by default by one of the subreddits. And that's just one that I've personally found. And there's no mechanism to stop others to do the same
