Massive Tesla Reddit Auto-ban happening

[Tim-in-CA]

Well, it seems like if you make ANY type of post or comment on the reddit sub RealTesla, the mods of the subs CyberTruck, TeslaMotors and TeslaLounge are auto banning you. I posted a response to one of the threads commenting if the auto sites (i.e. AutoBlog, Jalopnik, etc) were going to call out this behavior as a violation of Reddit's rules and in 1.5 seconds, I was auto banned from the aforementioned subs. I didn't post anything negative about the Tesla brand or Musk, and only called out the behavior. This doesn't bode well for Reddit now that they are a publicly traded company to slowly turn into Twitter (no, I am not going to call it X). Hopefully the mods of the Rivian sub on Reddit learn from this and don't start this massive auto ban behavior for those that post on other subs.

Permaband here for saying something negative about space-Karen on /r/TeslaMotors 3 years ago. So screw Fred; he's also a theif for using my photos without permission for his Electrek article.

The solution is having two logins.

One to have seemingly normal conversations on r/RealTesla, and the other to shitpost on the other snowflake subs.

Good lord, the Stanning goes hard over there.

Also - my IRL friends and I refer to that dumpster fire of a social media site TWIX, if you find it useful.

The solution is to not be on Reddit. You're welcome.

It doesn't matter what you post on RealTesla, the auto bans just happen now. This is a clear violation of Reddit guidelines. I suspect there will be big fallout from this once news sites get hold of this.

I just never found the attraction of reddit. Maybe because I'm a boomer and that site is as organized as a bag of wet mice.

Yeah, that’s a bit of a sh*tshow. Cursory glance - looks like it’s widespread (I assume you know this and I’m just catching up).

Reddit is weird, man. I don’t post over there - just check some of the subs for occasional info and/or amusement.

We paid off the mods so you would have to come back to us.

Any community that brings in the type of people to autoban like that really isn’t worth participating in anyways.

Any community that generates the type of discussion that other groups feel the need to autoban you probably isn’t worth participating in either.

Social media is designed to get you into an unhealthy level of groupthink to begin with. Your mental health will be better if you stay away from those groups.
