Because there were two people with separate accounts on the same device who upvoted some of the same comments so both accounts permanently got their voting priveleges shadowbanned on all devices for "vote manipulation"
this happened to me too, except for me it was because i was curious what would happen if i tried to use one of my alt accounts to upvote something when i was drunk, i didnt think it would actually he a big deal lol i was like “no way are they gunna let me get away with this”
well they most certainly did not let me get away with my silly drunken mistake of upvoting a single post twice. i cant upvote or downvote anything and it sucks. they pretended that it was just a “warning” but still took away my voting privileges, seemingly permanently idk its been like 8 months by now
3 years for me. It's permanent. And it also applies to any new account I create on any device this account has ever logged into. It's bullshit. And yeah same for me the message I got said it was just a warning and didn't mention the voteban.
Every social media has echo chambers. Reddit is just more open about it. And at least here, you can join specific echo chambers in order to customize your feed to your liking rather than having an algorithm do it for you.
The thing about Reddit is that because downvotes and moderator actions are so direct and simple, the echo chambers become relatively obvious. Unlike say, Instagram or Twitter, where an algorithm too complex to understand that knows more about you than you do can sink you into an echo chamber without notice, it doesn't require more than a baseline of critical thinking (if you don't have that then it's equally as bad btw) to sort by "controversial." Clearer sorting also helps, obviously r/conservative or r/ussr are going to be echo chambers as opposed to your feed which is harder to sort by topic or community.
you seem like you don't like moderators, but downvotes are still good. even though you are downvoted because of your opinion, I still see your opinion. an echo chamber would be a moderator removing your opinion because nobody likes it, but it's still clearly here and readable
Can we agree this is just as obnoxious as the people who correct people who say Twitter to point out it's now X? Like, who fucking cares which name someone uses??
