I found Lemmy thanks to a guy on reddit wich answered to my comment. I said that we leftists generally lacked a place where we could express some opinions without te fear of being banned. infact Reddit moderation (both admins and mods) suck and doing their “job” and there are instances of people being banned just for saying something completely normal or just some bugs. I am still active on Reddit but would like to make the Lemmy community grow so mabye it can become and actual alternative.
Sorry for any disturb, bye :3
P.S.
Ban evasion control is stupid and I fucking hate permabans, since they are so common for the minimal stuff.
I tried that and they STILL got me. I was also using a friend’s self hosted vpn so it’s not even my vpn getting flagged, i dont know how they do it
most likely they sniffed out patterns. reddit also use other methods, like your browser version, screen resolution, fingerprinting, time/zones, components, the official app. if you posted simiarly as before they will catch it.
oh also theres an unofficial way they catch people to, new accounts and old inactive accounts if you post too soon after account activation, or a unusual email, they shadowban sometimes. Also some subs have strict requirements, like aged account and karma, they can catch you there too. it appears theres a warm up period, like just scroll like human and not post on the 1st day in any sub.
did your friend test with his own reddit account?
