Reddit has completely suspended my account for supporting Lemmy.

I’ve been supporting Lemmy lately so much and made posts about Lemmy that received large attain. At present, sadly the reddit account by means of which, I moderated plenty of subs and frolicked on, involves an finish. The rationale was as a result of I spammed in response to reddit, however the actuality is that they’ve censored me as a result of I used to be hurting Reddit.

Asking multiple third-party app devs consider Lemmy + Made the same post here as well

I by no means thought this might occur, not that I didn’t utterly anticipate it (however perhaps not this quickly and sudden), in any case Reddit is thought for censorship, and the truth that Reddit admins have absolute energy over this web site makes this plausible. However a part of me, misses that reddit account, it has been particular to me, as I’ve spent numerous of hours spending my private time to average and enhance communities that helped Reddit thrive. I moderated as many subs as over 25, a lot of them had atleast over 1k individuals, some as many as 200k if no more.

Earlier than this occurred, suspiciously, they banned r/LemmyMigration immediately early morning,

it remained banned for a number of hours and returned again to regular (not bizarre in any respect). I believed that was a mistake, because the sub was again to regular unbanned, but it surely looks as if the Reddit admins realized in the event that they banned my sub, that may show how they censor it, it might probably work in opposition to them. Now, it looks as if they’ve realized that bringing my account down could be more practical, and cease me from probably sharing how they censored my sub on different subs for instance.

It’s a disgrace, and a part of me is gloomy, every part I labored laborious for was taken away by them hastily. I needed to convey a few of my communities right here, now every part is gone, and it feels extra like ranging from scratch (Or talk about with mods I’m nonetheless involved with, and get assist to convey communities I used to be planning on convey right here, but it surely definitely makes issues tougher, not giving up in any case, particularly not after this).

BTW I’ve crammed an enchantment, however I don’t anticipate this to be reversed, this was deliberate by the Reddit admins and all they should do is ignore my enchantment, there’s nothing extra I can do to get my account again, and so they simply removed somebody who was pinpointing a few of their largest flaws and doubtlessly dangering their platform’s dominance within the “aggregation and dialogue platforms” market.

A be aware to all refugees and ex-redditors right here, or those that are planning to affix Lemmy – See the facility a centralized company like Reddit holds. With a decentralized different like Lemmy, you’ll be able to host your personal occasion or be a part of one other one in case you get censored, with lemmy, we will put extra energy again within the fingers of the individuals.

I don’t have a lot else to say, shifting on I should work with mods left that I do know by means of exterior platforms like Discord and attempt to convey some communities right here. I hope this doesn’t occur to some other moderator who’ve spend numerous of hours serving to Reddit in-directly like I did, in some way escaping such a suspension.

EDIT: There’s some controversy within the feedback if I truly spammed, I don’t assume I spammed in any respect, I solely made a submit on r/ApolloApp, it grew to become a success so I cross-posted it to different third-party app subs, simply in order that it might probably hopefully attain out to the respective builders for them to probably think about Lemmy within the wake of latest reddit API adjustments.

I used to be additionally definitely not the one one mentioning options like Lemmy on the r/Apolloapp or some other third-party app sub, in-fact many individuals had been mentioning options, although I used to be banned, additionally my neighborhood r/LemmyMigration as talked about above was known as spam (and was quickly banned, however was weirdly introduced again up simply to place my account down later immediately afternoon) when it solely had 2 posts immediately morning. To me, “spam” looks as if it is just used as a canopy up by Reddit, the actual cause is that my posts, similar to r/LemmyMigration, was about Lemmy, a contest to Reddit.

Additionally if it was actually spam, as quickly as I cross-posted my submit from r/apolloapp to the opposite subs, the mods would have eliminated it properly earlier than they received plenty of consideration, why didn’t they?

EDIT 2: A person known as @danke has been spreading misinformation about me within the feedback:

Simply as you probably did in your newly created reddit alt, you’re portray this lie that you just had been banned to your tiny no-name subreddit and never for spamming this rubbish on 11 completely different cellular app subreddits in fast succession. It’s actually like clockwork for sitebanned customers to lie and omit these huge particulars.

This can be a blatant lie, I discussed concerning the cross-posts proper IN THIS submit:
“Asking multiple third-party app devs consider Lemmy + Made the same post here as well”

As you’ll be able to see, I made the submit proper right here and on reddit, i by no means missed any particulars.
