So I’m apparently site-wide permanently banned because I accidentally posted in a sub I was banned from on an alt account, so I have a question:

17 days ago by Pratai to c/reddit

So, reddit’s shit platform is set up so that if you use their default news link it shows subs you have filtered out. Well, I happen to filter subs I’ve been banned from and the cowards at r/worldnews banned me because I said a mean thing about America a while back.

As it turns out… I had not noticed the sub when I was using an alt account and posted a comment to their little walled-garden, and now it seems I’m permabanned from all of Reddit.

And I mean- every account I make is instantly banned-

So my question is:

How can I block all of that shithole from showing up on iOS web searches. I cannot interact with the site. So I’d rather it not appear in web searches altogether.

There's a browser extension called uBlacklist, I use it to block all the main social media sites and anyone else who annoys me.

Reddit is banning everyone

Seems that way. I insane even given a warning- straight to instant IP site wide ban.

This business of Reddit posts/comments coming up in search is very troubling; a while ago, I was searching for some medical info (on a condition I have and know a fair bit about), and some Reddit things came up so I looked at them for the hell of it. The first thing I read was just completely wrong. Like, totally wrong. I would hope people are being very leery of what they see on reddit, but they probably aren’t. 😕

Sadly numerous LLMs have now been trained on all that wrong info.

And it's likely on purpose because of the hate-boner people have over LLMs.

You could add something like -site:reddit.com to your search query, or alternatively use a search engine like Kagi which allows you to block sites from all future queries.

I believe uBlock Origin is also able to do this, but I'm not sure that is possible to use on iOS (I don't have an iPhone).

Pratai 3 points 17 days ago

Is there anything that will auto-add that to searches?

CorrectAlias 3 points 17 days ago

Maybe a browser extension, but again, I don't run iOS so I'm not sure what is and isn't possible.

Appreciate the help. I’m not even able to appeal it. They hard locked me out of their platform. LMAO. All for accidentally making a comment in a sub I was banned from, using an alt. I even had that sub blocked from my feed.

Sounds like reddit. Highly recommend sticking around here, though!

Reddit is dying. Fortunately the fediverse is nearing critical mass such that every time you visit there is hundreds of new posts to sift through.

Pratai 2 points 16 days ago

Yeah. At this point it seems like it’s mostly bots and childish moderators hanging on to their last shred of authority. Outside of gaming subs, I don’t see how anyone takes it seriously there. I mean, if the shareholders are dumb enough to not know that it’s mostly bots reposting shit by people that abandoned their shit long ago- they deserve to lose it all.

Why would they, their shareholders fucking stupid enough to believe the bots are actually people. They don’t need it to be accessible to anyone to profit from it.
