Maybe it's just me, but no matter what the ban was for (I'm very aware Reddit is going ban-crazy and has just been shit in general,) I feel it's a bad omen that one community (connected communities, fediverse, what have you) is being largely inhabited by people banned from other communities.
When the width and breath of censorship is so wide that virtually everyone gets caught in the dragnet?
reddit bans people for saying things like "isreal shouldn't be genociding the gazans"
I was banned for saying we should pay to feed our kids breakfast and lunches at school instead of paying to blow up someone else's kids
That's what got me banned.
I don't disagree, but it depends on the reason. Getting banned for calling out Zionism, or for being a leftist in general? Great! Come to Lemmy!
