Reddit seems to have introduced sitewide AI moderation bots that are sweeping up users and outright banning them, without warning or explanation, for crimes like including links in their posts. This has started to hit some pretty well-known artists in r/comics.
It’s inconsistent and unpredictable - which makes it worse, since you don’t know what the rules are. As companies like Reddit give up more and more control to unaccountable machines, this kind of thing is getting more common.
Reddit has always had kind of a strange relationship with contributors and what is often called “self-promotion”. On one hand, it wants Content… But it can’t seem to decide where it wants the content to come from.
It’s nice that we’ve got alternative spaces like this.
Anyway, have some links:
- More comics:
- Patreon

Reddit crappy automoderation had been known in the Spanish speaking communities for years.
“Negro” in Spanish means black as the colour, but the AEO may interpret it as that some countries who do not usually speak Spanish may use it as a racial slur.
This is no joke, once they auto-ban me for talking about how a black coloured wall would hide the grime better.
Beep is spez confirmed
That’s not a healthy environment for creators.
always send them a link to the fediverse instead of trying to fix a broken platform.
Please don’t mention Reddit here. Some of us came here to get away and stop hearing about that platform.
I’ve posted this before, but I’ve got banned twice for inciting violence on posts that there not inciting violence at all. In both cases, I was banned when my browser refreshed to the posted screen. Instant ban. No human saw my post. So I deleted my account. Seems like they feel that they are too big to fail and are just trying to clean up its userbase before it goes public.
beep are you a reddit ai
Post over here! We would love the comics!
Fediverse people are fun and actual people. Well other than the furries.
indeed, some of us are things rather than people ;3
I do post here! I don’t have my whole archive here, but I started !loveandhex@lemmy.ca recently and crosspost from there.
Nothing to see here
Am I blocked or something!?
I don’t know, I haven’t blocked anyone. Different apps might render community links differently?
sounds like loveandhex needs another subscriber
Plus 1. I support anyone fleeing Reddit.
Reddit can entirely go fuck itself.
that seems to be their priority…
I had a 14 year account I think, maybe 15 year by this point, and I ultimately deleted my account when Trump got elected, but still used the mobile site on safari. Then a month or two ago the site became unusable as it shoved the app download link front of screen and covered all the content.
My account on Reddit got banned from the r/r4r community for no reason as I was posting to find friends and I had a random Reddit mod mail DM saying I was banned I didn’t even do anything and I even followed the rules I got so fed up that I decided to try places like this site and so far this place is amazing
I was banned for comparing israel to the nazis even though the whole fucking world agrees.
It’s what brought me back to lemmy. One account permanently banned… And then another too. I really don’t know why “Your account has been permanently banned for breaking the rules.” Gee. Thanks. So descriptive. 🙄
Reddit’s the worst. Hopefully this is exactly the sort of pitfall that Lemmy won’t fail at.
Waiting for ‘bluedit’ to dethrone ‘reddit’ LOL
bleddit sounds better … and it also implies that it stabbed reddit in the stomach and now they’re bragging that they ‘bleddit’
