It's really not that hard to identify hate. We don't have to engage in epistemology
It is hard to identify though, someone is always offended by something. Free speech is about protecting speech you hate, not speech you agree with.
I would pay cash for access to a social site that bans all US politics, the astroturfing associated with it is simply unbearable.
For a short time I was a part of a small site that banned politics. It was fine, people talked about work, personal stuff, travel, until one person posted about their disappointment that their state was limiting various services or rights to gay people. For them this meant their rights were in question and they were understandably upset. Immediately some folks cried politics and that they shouldn’t post about that so…

Still waiting for that Contact link...

Did they ban for this rule often? "Am I making a post which is either funny, informative, or interesting on any level? I hate how Reddit mods ban any post they don't like as being 'low effort / shit / spam' when it is completely vague.

Since it's OnlyFans, I'd think something like "porn stars" or "online girlfriends" If it were YouTube, "YouTuber" is a start, but you could also be a "YouTube science communicator" or something
Creator is a fine word to use in place of YouTuber. And vice versa. But what do you call their output? What do you call an illustrator's output? A photographer? What about when all of that shows up on your feed collectively? Content is a gross word.
To repeat fgiesen/ryg: to a content plumber, it's all content, just like the mail system delivers packages and doesn't really care what's in them. The video engineers at YouTube don't care whether it's a news report or a slop video, as long as the frames get on your screen. However the sender and receiver had better care what's in the package or something's gone horribly wrong.

You need to ditch and replace all your devices and acquire a new phone number. I'm serious. Virtually all large websites these days employ a lot of fingerprinting and persistence technologies. And yes, ditch them. Even well over a decade ago, Wikipedia of all places already employed IP address matching to link sockpuppet accounts. You must be extremely careful of never using any device that was associated with your o…
It happens to all new accounts. It's known that new account are shadowbanned almost everywhere until they are 30 days old and farmed some karma on a very small set of subreddits that don't shadowban new accounts. It's shocking they ever get any new users, really; as far as a non-technical new user knows, nobody ever reads their comments for some reason.

How contagious is it? Can I get other people banned from Reddit by logging into my instantly banned account on their wifi network?
Not that contagious, I'm afraid. My boss uses Reddit some. I'm banned. At the shop, we use the same IP address (and we do not use ipv6 there). I tried to log in with a ~10-year-old account that I'd never commented with. A perfect Beetlejuicing moment had arrived and I just wanted to play the game with a short, snarky comment. It logged in fine, and then: Insta-ban, just like that. (Maybe I should have used a new brow…

Lemmy is software, like phpBB. You wouldn't say phpBB has bad moderators.
