My Reddit account was recently shadow banned for no apparent reason but luckily I was able to get it unbanned. I now mentioned to one of my Reddit friends that I’m on Lemmy and the comment was removed by Reddit.
Well duh.
Reddit do be doing that.
Ive had that happen on my local city subreddit. Autobot. Auto-removed my post.
Ive heard its not a reddit wide thing. Tried and they are right. Seems like its only subreddits at least about half a year ago when i tried. Now up/downvotes no idea. They used to allow you to see exact numbers but removed that a loooong time ago when bots got caught up/downvoting stuff.
They used to allow you to see exact numbers
As far back as 2009, those numbers were fudged and not exact.
You can still see the upvote % and number of upvotes in insights and do the math, but Reddit is garbage. I used to use it a lot and they’ve managed to enshittify it hard enough that even I don’t use it anymore.
Reddit does vote count “fuzzing” to any post/comment that reaches a certain score, so the numbers they show you are intentionally never accurate.
Yeah and there has been at least one documented instance where votes were manipulated.
I get my FB posts shadow banned for sharing Mastodon links…
