At least they put it in writing. They suspended and deleted all of my 15 years of posts, comments and moderating without even a good by. Fuck Spez, and Fuck Reddit may they reap the whirlwind.

So let me get this straight. Some jerk off looking to advertise his site by spamming links on several subs was hoping to AstroTurf COUGH I mean organically post... And Reddit Ad Team saw that and figured they could milk him for some dollars? So this doucher takes to Xhitter to try to get sympathy?
Ahh capitalism at its finest.
wut
Unless the article is absolutely lying, it mentioned the subreddits wanted the posts and couldn't overcome the sitewide ban (i.e. manually approving the content). Your comment is a really huge stretch there.

He might not be morally good, but what Reddit is doing here is illegal in many places.
Can anyone tell me what the fuck an organic account and organic posting is? Is this the def?
Organic social media refers to unpaid content that individuals and brands share on social media to engage audiences without paid ads or direct selling.
And if so, wtf. I mean, I expected nothing less from the Reddit zionist cesspool, but still...
I found out today that they have removed r/all from the mobile platforms.
The one unifying feed... Heaven for it folk experience consensus media or have a shared experience.
By slicing it all up they can tweak individual algorithms to push more jank than ever. No longer do they have to game the system to get AstroTurfed Ads on the front page.
Actually, didn't they used to call themselves the "front page of the internet"? How does that work if no one sees the same page?
I think most people unsubscribe from r/all anyway and subscribe to subs related to their favorite hobbies and games and work related info. Most of my frontpage is for video games I'm currently playing, programs I'm currently using and odd fun subs like moviemistakes or maybemaybemaybe. I wish I could do that here.
And that's all cool... But it is weird to take that choice away from users.
Much like here, a quick browse of all introduces me to a wider world with different concerns. It's how I find stuff.
And I'm pretty sure what you do is possible here... What are you having a problem with?

First mistake: Staying on Reddit. Fuck Spez.
Second mistake: Complaining about Reddit on X. Fuck Musk.
Let's just hope this user stays away from substack next.
Here’s my story on Medium about my journey from Reddit, to X, to Substack! Like and subscribe guys!

Wtf is organic posting.
Writing spam posts like "I'm really satisfied using this website, totallynotanad.com" or "try using Company XYZ, their service is really good"

REAL humans posting. anything that utilizes bots, AI isnt organic, but reddit often bans the real humans over AI posting.
as you know reddit bans people if it looks for patterns thats repeating itself.
Hmmm, human posting? I like it.
Like you just did with your comment and OP did with their posting: non paid ad posting

I don't know who this guy is, but the fact that he is crying on twitter about being shadow-banned on reddit tells me I don't really give a fuck about him, his opinion, or his perceived slights against him.
I care if reddit is dishonestly enforcing rules to force people to buy ads. That's good for us actually. If only we had more enlightened instances with more functionality.

That's nothing. I was permabanned for inciting violence or whatever they claimed, which broke rule #1. My "violence" was calling AI stupid (more or less) wishing it'd go away. Ironically, the mod bot banned me.
My ~19 year old account was permabanned after three strikes that involved two upvotes of Luigi pictures and then— after seeing a vid of Trump falling asleep— saying he shouldn’t wake up.
Then my alt got a warning for “disparaging communities” after I said one of the two PDX subreddits started so they could talk shit about houseless people, which is a fact.
Three of those were flagged by AI, the last one— the warning— was a person flagging it and couldn’t be contested.
It’s gone to the dogs.
I'm jealous of all y'all who know why you got bans.
I've gotten warning and temp bans, but they never specify why. They never include the content. Just saying promoting this or that is very unclear, like how, when, where? Did I actually?
I always just ignore them and carry on on alts for a while.
Their shit is so stupid. But there's a lot of useful content on Reddit. I still hit up old house and DIY type groups, cause I own an old house, and specific tech groups because of the tech I use, but I don't miss the rest.

I pulled a 3-day ban for calling ICE racists. Must have really triggered one of the racist mods.
I am on a 7 day ban for the same sort of thing, pointing out how ICE targets brown people. "Inciting hate", how is pointing out hate crimes the same as inciting hate? Fight the power.
It’s strong “people who point out racism are the real racists” energy

Once I got banned like a thousand times within the span of 5 minutes because I reported a pro-Trump post as child abuse. I assume it really triggered some admin.
I wonder if this admin was named maxwellhill.

The bigger news here is that Reddit, as a policy, allows bot posting (organic posting) as long as you're buying ads from them.
Fuck you u/spez.
Reddit bad
Lemmy good
an ad spend
When you're off the used car lot, 'spend' is still only a verb, and the word you wanted here is maybe 'purchase' or 'deal'.
'The spend', 'the ask', and other cheese should stay back with the pre-owned Pontiacs.

If you didn’t leave when the API pricing went up, everything is your fault.
"I got caught trying to advertise for free and they want me to pay for it like everyone else!"
Fuck Reddit
there are still people on reddit? thats a bot hell
Remember when users used to flood reddit subs to find support, real opinions, express dissatisfaction, criticize bad feature/products, and warn others?
Now, the people who complain get flooded by astroturfing bots run by marketing agencies to say they're holding it wrong, not important enough, doing something wrong while praising corporation overtaking governments.
Now that Google has partnered with reddit, they get to have many searches sending troves of people there expecting solutions or like minded people or community support.
So, yea there are still people.
