  The comic literally starts off with both sides fighting. It’s not a bubble, it’s not accepting of right-wing trash.

  Got banned off redit for using an alt to comment on publicfreakout which I was supposedly banned from

  If you were banned from a Reddit sub you’ve never posted or commented on, you won’t receive a message informing you you’ve been banned. Mostly likely cause for being banned from a sub you’ve never used is the sub using a bot to preemptively ban people it sees as “problematic” - usually but not always these bots are configured to ban anyone who has ever commented on a list of “bad” subs determined by the mod setting up the bot, regardless of content or context. There are some others, like certain porn subs will preemptively ban any account they detect that has an OnlyFans link.

  The net result is if you comment on any remotely controversial sub in any context you’ve likely been banned from one or more unrelated subs, possibly without your knowledge.

  This is hypothetically against the mod rules, but not enforced in any way. Mostly because of which subs tend to do it and which subs tend to be targeted.

    Yeah it was a suprise to me, the issue only happened because I use an alt too, which is allowed, if its an instant permanent ban they should also disallow alts or block you from posting/commenting their on alts same way they auto ban, idk it just felt very automated and the admin response was also instantly a no, if I wanted to evade a ban itd be for a good subreddit not public freakout lol and not on a post with thousands of comments where mine is just a blip, no reason for them to care tho I dont make them money

  We’re not losing any value by dismissing people who have a flagrant disregard for the truth.

    That is also definitely true, they don’t want to learn or care about facts, but its nice to be aware they exist, or ppl get complacent, tiktoks just a great example of how everyone their thought the whole country was trending towards being super woke and liberal since they were in a bubble. You shut ppl out and they have no one to tell them their views are wrong lol.

      I think your approach is very valid IRL, where there’s vocal nuance, and body language, and real people who probably aren’t Russian botfarms and communities that you are both part of. In that case calling-in is the far better option the vast majority of the time.

      The general open internet doesn’t have much of any of that though, and general numbers and anonymity and lack of repercussions or accountability make it way too easy to be an arsehole/troll and never try to come to a common understanding. If someone’s doing that, they can fuck right off.

      I think there are smaller semi-private internet communities that operate kind of half way between those extremes, where you probably have to take it case-by-case.

      I think Lemmy is kinda halfway between the second and their option, but will gradually head more toward the second option as it gets bigger.

        Let’s not kid ourselves, Lemmy is great because it’s still in its infancy and gen pop is still a minority for now hence the bot makers not being too interested for now.

        Also caretakers of the forums still care enough to adress issues.

        I’m happy with what we have now and the idea that it will get bigger is not something I think we should work towards but maybe that’s just me.

  The comment was literally just “isnt the wind blowing towards the ocean” made it without even knowing I was banned on my main, alts are allowed, this is such an easy mistake to make there, automatically denied appeal
