So after Google literally paid Reddit for its content and then ranked them incredibly well in Google Search and its search features, Reddit during its earnings call blamed Google's search algorithm for not hitting its expected user growth.
That is EXACTLY what happened. And whats worse is there are people on Lemmy, who left before that started, who say things like “nobody is banned for nothing. You probably deserved it.”
And yet I’ve had countless encounters who seemingly fit the same criteria.
Long time regular user, didn’t buy the reddit IPO, many were offered but not all. Then one day, permanently suspended and all appeals fail. Most instantly, but none so far taking longer than a day.
99% sure - all the messages say “this action was performed automatically” and if I DO get a reply to a service ticket via email, it says “Thank you for your request, it has been received!” Which means they’re continually closing the ticket I’m replying to asking for help.
Yes, AND STILL - for someone whose only connection to those communities is online, still really sucks. Hopefully they reform elsewhere after the eventual implosion.
Is that why my multiple accounts with hundreds of thousands of karma were all nuked simultaneously and I was never told why?
Fuckin AI nuked my shit?
I tried to appeal but it was instantly denied and even though I asked what rule they are claiming I broke I still got no answers.
Fuckin AI…

Well sucks for them I guess. Maybe they shouldn’t have banned a contributing user for no apparent reason.
Oh well. Couldn’t have happened to a worse website.
