"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
30 mute, write again and it's harassment.

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.

MODERATORS
I have two accounts, with lots of karma, inexplicably shadowbanned. All I do is post in like 3 niche interest tech/fandom subs, zero politics or hostility.
The appeals page is like a black hole. No explanation, no process, no results.
I don’t even know anymore.
Mods there can ban if they dont agree eith your sports team, that shit is going downhill
CEOs being CEOs... Violent as ever 🤣
I think it's justified in this case. Unless you want more expensive hot dogs.
Reddit permanently banned me for saying a person got "burned" when Trump did not pay the person. It was violent rhetoric, they said.
You know who didn't use violent rhetoric? The scorpion, from the parable of the scorpion and the frog. Truly a paragon of common decency.
Leave Reddit.
How many people get banned for quoting Trump's violent rhetoric?
I was banned 3 days for "hate speech" because I said the IDF was committing horrible crimes and killing children.
I was banned 7 days for violence (on a shit-posting sub) for saying Bonhomme should go to Washington DC and sort out 47. Bonhomme is the mascot of Québec Winter Carnival. He is a snowman. For context, the original shit-post had a "photo" of 47 gleefully eyeing a poster of Bonhomme. I did try to appeal this because....really? I was unable to even submit an appeal. I guess the US must be absolutely terrified of pretend snowmen from Québec.
I was permanently banned for violence because I spoke against 47 and his underlings calling for the annexation of Canada. The war-mongers are allowed to threaten their peaceful neighbour 🇨🇦 (and others) with economic ruin and invasion, but a citizen of 🇨🇦 isn't permitted to speak against this threat?
I was a premium member but I had put a pause on the membership a couple months back when we began boycotting the US. I didn't even try to appeal the perma-ban. I cancelled my membership/account and uninstalled the app.
Moderated by AI for your ~~safety~~ compliance.
Nothing makes sense at reddit.
It was a bot that automatically banned you
So like 99% of the rest of Reddit
Oh, that makes it so much better…
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"
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 🤷
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.
Bots are just fancy scripts
It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn't work and is seemingly also run by bots.

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.
I got a warning for saying a fictional Nazi "should be l****ed"
Not "luigied" literally I put the asterisks in and the bot still got it. They're so paranoid and scared lol
I don't know the context but: Could have been "uigi" but could have also been "ynch".
Which is even more of an American pastime
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.

These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.
I just used it to tell them to get fucked.
Lol I did as well.
"ermm actually had you apologized I would have undone the ban"
fuck you
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.
Lmao. And they say comedy is dead.
"CEO" and "kill" going in the same sentence is ungood.
Doubleplusungood, even
Oh no, not doubleplusnogood!
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.

People really need to get the fuck off of reddit.
Redditors are going to end up on !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world
I generally surf Lemmy first for a while, and then scroll reddit because there is simply more content. I have been participating less and less on Reddit and trying to participate on Lemmy more. But for things like episode discussions for various TV shows, reddit is really the only game right now and I do like trading those.
Eventually reddit will most likely completely leave my rotation, because they are really trying to make it as shitty as possible.

It's because they've given an LLM the ability to ban for "promoting or threatning violence", and it's terrible. It basically sees two "bad" words on one line and send out a ban. It seems like an attempt at making people use words like "unalive" and things like that.
Interestingly it doesn't work if you spread it across more than one line(the haiku and similar bots don't get banned after quoting comments that get banned).
