I have enjoyed my time in Reddit with my art account.
I used to share NSFW portraits as per redditor requests there for around 3 years. Built my karmas and connections. Usually doing my routine of posting on some subs, when I got shadowbanned then eventually permabanned. I tried to appeal a couple more times but I just lost hope.
I will surely miss those times but F*ck That! I hope I find new people to jam with here in Lemmy.
As a former Reddit moderator one thing that was a real pain was the necessity for various spam filters. Hopefully with accounts needing to be applied for on Lemmy that’s much less of an issue.
I have noticed a dumb case where I posted something in one sub and then immediately posted the same thing in another sub which got auto removed and I had stupid amounts of karma and history so I’m surprised about that
What’s moderating like on reddit?
Probably depends on the community. Being able to see removed comments and posts can be mucked up. Mostly obvious removals and/or bans but working out what crosses the line is always awkward.
I spent most of my moderation removing obviously bad people but it’s a role that forces you to think what’s just about acceptable and that’s really complicated
Yep and it’s discretionary. You can’t win as a mod you’ll never make everyone happy… it’s a lot of work for zero pay or thanks
Experienced the same thing. I usually post my drawings on different subs and did not have any problems for years. Out of nowhere I was suddenly flagged for spam then eventually got permabanned
