A community to organize and discuss the growth of the fediverse as a whole
EDIT: @[email protected] shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
Perhaps using this picture instead of writing the link in plain text will help prevent the Reddit bots from detecting that one is recommending Lemmy there:
if that's the captcha to get in... i'm out.
Oh, no, I should have explained! That's something to help post the link hopefully without the Reddit bots detecting it. I've edited the post.
We need to figure out a way to recruit with to out outright posting it there.
It’s just bots enforcing this, images should work.
probably worth a try but I have to imagine reddit's algorithms can read the text in images
Yea, but that requires considerably more processing than plain text
True, I'm not sure if they ocr every image or not, maybe they don't
I'd be surprised if it bans comments for images with Lemmy.
I think the bigger problem is how to post without appearing like spam to the human community.
So what I'm hearing is post coded shitposts on Reddit? Got it!
Im sure there’d be a huge market for Lemmy if you just told people “do you want Reddit without ads or conservatives?”
Whenever I see someone asking about or speculating that users need somewhere else to go... I direct-message them and give them links to https://feddit.org/search and encourage them to make a login on some instance...
So far it doesn't seem reddit is snooping on direct messages ... yet
Got shadow banned years ago for sharing the link to the εxodus privacy analysis of the Reddit app. There is a reason why they keep trying to pressure their users to use their app. It's farming their personal data.
That's interesting. I haven't been banned for mentioning r/RedditAlternatives yet. I'm honestly shocked that sub still exists.
Where Is the shadow part of the ban?
left side: logged in. exists.
right side: private window, not logged in. does not exist.
Interesting trick I should save for future use.
It's just like adarza said.
Left: logged in. My own activity is shown.
Center: logged out, old reddit. It claims that the user doesn't exist.
Right: logged out, new reddit. It claims that the user was suspended.
A shadow ban is where they didn't tell you that you were banned. A shadow banned user could go for years commenting and posting and never realised they were banned. It's only if they check their posts while logged out that they realise.
Try lem my dot (world/ee/ect...) make it look strange but people will get it.
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Three-ish years ago, my comments kept getting eaten by shitty regexes, and I threw my hands up and started placing that after every fucking vowel. It worked everywhere except the few subs so pants-on-head stupid that they had a secret maximum comment length. I just. I don't. Fuck some moderators, y'know? Some people cannot be trusted with the tiniest bit of power. Misery multipliers.
Related unicode shenanigans: inhibit symmetric swapping, pop directional isolate, zero width non-joiner, zero width space. I have more I'll keep in reserve.
I tried to post about Lemmy this morning in a 160k people sub : it’s sitting at two like and i can post and engage elsewhere without consequences. I don’t think they shadowbanned me but i suspect that the post wasn’t shown to much people. It was a polite post and i am used to way, way more engagement, especially on the weekends.
but i suspect that the post wasn’t shown to much people
That's shadowbanning, fyi
