“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

    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.

        Fffffff, that’s even worse.

        Honestly the niche subs I visit are either cesspools or “brain drained” now, and unfortunately not much critical mass is here on Lemmy… Seems most went to Twitter, Insta/Tiktok or maybe Discord.

      Appealing too many temp bans (all unfounded) got me perma banned.

      Corpo bootlickers, kicking all humans off their platform until they remaining are indistinguishable from the growing see of bots.

        It’s clear they only want people just browsing and not logged in anymore. All for the advertisement money

        I literally don’t know why I’m shadowbanned though, I didn’t do anything even adjacently controversial!

        I guess I just talk like a bot? Not that they ban those, ha…

        But yeah that’s what gets me, if there was some stated reason for a shadowban or permanent I’d be understanding, but zero feedback? Really?

          Shadowbans are the cowards way of dealing with unwanted users — I understand why they do it, but it happens to way too many normal posters.

              I visited the shadowban subs, which lets you comment and apparently normal users are getting dusted for very little reason. If that sub is getting such a frequent postings, it’s a red flag.
