So I’ve been ban from Reddit for 4 months now and got my first appeal denied. It does say you can appeal within 6 months I don’t know if that means if you don’t get your account back your basically done or does it mean what ChatGPT thinks it means. That after 6 months I can try another appeal. I really want to get back on Reddit. I mean really it’s way more strict than Facebook I think. But I really do miss Reddit like a lot and this would be a relief if I have a second chance.
Does it fucking matter? Take the hint. You can still log into your account and edit comments. Wipe that shit clean then close your account and never look back. Nothing there is worth participating in anymore.
Reddit has a way bigger and open community than Lemmy.
Yeah, and my honest response to that is “too damn bad”. Reddit is a dying platform and they will continue to abuse you for profit.
I got banned for reporting obvious spam bots and Reddit never even responded to an appeal. They don’t give a flying fuck about any user. Make an alt and run the gauntlet of the automatic ban evasion detection, or never go back again. Those are your options, sucks to suck.
I agree left reddit never looked back literally asked a question in a sub and was banned like what it was about the exact product the sub was for.
I commented on a post about how shitty misogyny is-- on a sub about shitty misogyny, and the post got brigaded by MRA chuds. So many comments were calling women slurs, grouping women together by saying women are all whores, you name it. Many were upvotes and allowed to stay.
I got permabanned for MY Comment the next day. I tried to appeal and it got denied. I didn’t suggest violence or even harm. I didn’t drag them. I just didn’t say “Not all men.”
Reddit bans are incredibly biased and I swear given out by right-wing incels. I’m trying to ween myself from Reddit. Lemmy is good because I’m not endlessly scrolling content. Hopefully the ban actually just gets me closer to being off social media.
because of that mindset
I would take what ChatGPT tells you with a gigantic salt crystal.
Case in point: I made a fairly important purchase in a foreign country recently. The seller’s countract was in the local language, which I speak for ordinary matters but not well enough to understand legalese.
The seller couldn’t find how a crucial piece of the contract was translated into English, so she typed “Say this in English: the buyer has no right to pull out of the deal even in case of force majeure” in her language. ChatGPT translated it as “The buyer has the right to pull out of the deal in case of force majeure” in English. The exact opposite of what was written!
Luckily for me, while I didn’t know the legal terms in the local language, I could see it was a negative sentence. So I managed to catch it and understand that the clause was in fact working against me-the-buyer, not in my favor.
I know why ChatGPT translated it that way: the force majeure clause in most contracts usually states that the deal is off in case of force majeure (force majeure usually being a euphemism for death). But in this instance, the seller turned the clause 180 degrees around, leaving my children on the hook if I snuffed it early and didn’t complete the payment. ChatGPT, being nothing more than a mechanical parrot, simply repeated the most common form of force majeure clause it had been trained on.
The main takeway from this story is: you should never trust what ChatGPT says, and the more important what you ask it to tell you is to you, the more consequences you will suffer for its mistakes.
I’ve used it for translating reviews where the website’s (or google’s) translator does a terrible job. It seems to do a much better job (at least the reviews made a lot more sense and I got a lot more out of it).
But I absolutely agree, don’t ever trust it to be completely accurate, especially with something important like contracts.
edit: grammar.
You can try however often you’d like?!
Looking forward to a future where the humans check the output of the ais.
I think I just did attempt another appeal and it went through.
How does one get banned from Reddit lol
By posting facts about Elon Musk for one, apparently.
Actionable death threats against one of the site admins should do the job 💅
You can get banned from Reddit for a plethora of things. I saw someone who was suicidal on the platform, sent them that care message Reddit has implemented in their system to help them get help and I got banned for “abuse of the button” for 7 days.
I appealed it. Got denied.
Reddit really is strict as shit.
LMAO what a joke. I had trolls target me with that button so many times I just blocked the auto-mod account from messaging me. It figures that the one time someone actually uses the button for its intended purpose, the reddit admins in all their wisdom, would ban first and ask questions later (or never).
That is so odd lol. I’ve heard from a friend that abused their systems to fuck with other trolls and never had an issue.
