What does this mean? Does reddit actually ban you if you're downvoted "too much"?
Seems crazy.
- wing-_-nuts 4y agoNah, they just rate limit you to only posting once every 10 minutes if you're getting heavily downvoted. It's irritating as heck, but not a big deal, I just close the tab.
- busyant 4y agoThank you. That's fascinating. I never knew this. My brother's reddit account was suspended recently. He's somewhat conservative and the last bit of posting he made (that I could find) was arguing about COVID & masks. I don't know if he posted anything controversial beyond that because I haven't had a chance to talk to him recently. He seemed to relish going into hostile subreddits and "mixing it up."
- lost_tourist 4y agoposting too much. Much like HN some reddit groups have a time out to let you cool off if you go over N posts, especially if your account is new. Happens to me a lot since I delete my account and start over ever 3 or 4 months. I don't care about karma more than say enough to not get rate limited.
