“If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I’m threatening violence. Lol

It was a bot that automatically banned you

There are absolutely bots doing this sort of thing. Years ago when I still had an account there I got flagged for “promoting suicide” because I explained that a stalemate in a chess game can happen because “the king is not allowed to commit suicide”

Also a bot that will ignore the explanation and reject the request

That’s more of a script than a bot. Basically: if request, then reject.

Basically: if request, then reject.

Sounds like they were inspired by U.S. health insurance companies.

Good thing they can blame bots for this shit.

Throws up hands “It was the bots, nothing bad we did.” Just like when AI fucks things up and companies won’t take responsibility. Because we didn’t do anything bad 🤷

I call that the “responsibility Theater”. But Software fuckups are super common and the industry (and those adjacent to it) really mastered absolving themselves of all responsibily.

It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn’t work and is seemingly also run by bots.

The ban purges have revealed most people were getting auto banned by an Ai and auto rejected by the same thing. I almost all accounts banned like this, I felt like it was an experiment on their part

Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn’t go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I’ve had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I’ve been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.

Yeeep, that shit’s crazy. Why we ever let corporations control our means of interacting with each other online I’ll never know, but now it’s all going to shit as it was always meant to so they can squeeze even more money out of us. Fuck 'em.

Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.

My post got taken down for racism.

I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.

“Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”

Told them to go fuck them selves.

Never got an answer.

I got a warning for saying “I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye” in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
