I got suspended multiple times because my partner and daughter were also in our city’s sub, and sometimes one of them would upvote my comments without realizing it was me. It got really fucking annoying, and of course there’s no way to talk to a real person at reddit to prove we’re different people. I’d appeal every time and they’d deny it every time. How reddit could have gotten so huge without realizing that multiple people can live in the same household is beyond me. In the end they both just stopped upvoting anything in the sub because it was too risky (for me).

If anything, they’ll blame it on the launch of Threads and not their own bad decisions.

There’s a short story by Ray Bradbury about an automated house that survives a nuclear blast. The shadows of the children throwing a ball are on the house outside, and inside the robots continue to service a family that’s no longer there. That’s what it reminds me of.

My account was suspended 3 times for “vote manipulation” because my partner, my daughter, and I were all on the same sub for our city and they’d upvote my comments sometimes without noticing it was me. It was never their accounts, always mine, and trying to contact reddit was useless. They had to basically stop upvoting anything in that sub because if they did, I might get suspended again or even banned.

How it can be 2023 and reddit can’t figure out that people live together is beyond me.

There’s a subject I follow in a sub on reddit and there’s no equivalent community here on Lemmy, but no way am I going to start it because I don’t want to moderate it. :/
