MODERATORS
Yep my current account exists because when I got here, I said something that hurt a mod's feelings, and so they decided to ban me across multiple communities. In the mod log, they even say "I need to cool down now" so it's obvious it was an emotionally driven decision, but there was no reversing it.
So I couldn't post in LGBTQ, 196, and several others.
Don't hurt mod's feelings.
not OP but for me, I was banned from /r/pics for criticizing Teslas or something. But the criticism was in a Tesla sub, so there was some cross cub BS happening there. And my criticism was factually correct. "They dont test their cars in rain or snow."
so im ok with that, and avoided posting or anything in /pics since its all BS and muted on my main account.
however, I swapped to an alt for some maintanence/engagement. and There was a post that came up i thought was from /oldschool cool, and made some comment about it (nothing related to tesla), just supporting the image.... turns out it was from /pics, and I got hit with ban evasion. and account loss.
So stupid, that reddit pushed subs that you are banned from, if you dont activly mute them.
so with that, reddit removed a 200k karma account over 15 years old. I moderated and contributed to some subs about a rare dissease, since that was my technical expertice in the real world, so its a loss to that community.
overall that community can rot, under bot led admins
Welcome in! Enjoy your stay.
All I'll say is that Lemmy is smaller than Reddit, so naturally a lot of convos default to politics and tech.
Because of that though, you'll be exposed to potentially new ideas regarding both. So be open minded! But also know that you can block users, communities, and instances if you find them unbearable.
Cheers
The "one thing" he said:
Edit: Kinda funny how He's flipping the bird backwards here though.
Bud, if you think Reddit is banning nazis....
they will likely ban the "Kill minorities" but not fhe "[dogwhistle to kill] minorities"
if those come here, were only getting the extra stupid nazis
Yeah I did, I said nazi's can go fuck themselves. That got me a warning. Then I said anti-vaxxers are idiots and that forced vaccinations might be a good idea. When I said that they said I was promoting violence and that got me banned. Seriously, fuck Reddit.
I helpfully added to the end of a comment, "If you see a Nazi, punch a Nazi", as a play on "If you see something, say something." That got me a one-week suspension. A couple of weeks later, I posted a link to a site that explains how many of the top corporations are owned and controlled, through stocks, by a small group of the same billionaires--they all sit on each other's boards and block outsiders from being elected. That got me a permanent suspension. I haven't been back.
This was on my account that is eight years old, and had over a million comment karma, and about 40,000 post karma. Fuck 'em.
That's some real bullshit. Bruh, I had an 11 year old account. I'm perma banned now. According to them I was inciting violence.
I see r/unvaccinated has gotten its filthy infested little fingers into Spez's brain.
I posted a gif of Luigi from Luigi’s Mansion and got a warning for promoting violence or whatever. So I just deleted my account and migrated.
How do you guys even get banned? I'm straight up posting AI-generated suicide instructions nowadays, and I get more engagement and less shadow removals than I had before.
You have to post anything a fascist would hate. Fascists love undesirables killing themselves.
I got a 6 day ban for calling out people acting like Nazis so...
I got a 3 day ban for suggesting the Jan 6ers should have been shot for being traitors.
Then got a 7 day ban for joking that a violent insurrection was needed in my own country.
I wouldn't have minded if I was banned for being a filthy hypocrite.
were you banned from reddit as whole, or just specific subs?
Lemmy is fine. We just need more users for content.
There are enough already, IMO. It's stable, the instances I use are populated enough to sustain themselves and have interesting discussion.
*good users. We don't welcome Trump supporters
Yea, thankfully the fediverse by nature attracts communists.
fake reports on your profile which reddit just won't check if they make sense:
I was kind of indifferent to rule breaking at the sub level but always careful to avoid rule breaking at the site level and not one of my appeals was ever upheld.
The irony. You're posting on a comm in the most ban-happy instance with an account registered on the other most ban-happy instance.
Reddit is going crazy with the bans. A perma ban can result from something as simple as saying something like "I hope the consequences of not vaccinating are more deeply suffered by anti-vaxxers than by people who are not vaxxed from an allergy or something". After all, that constitutes "hoping for violence/death".
I wonder if it's because Reddit is now a prime resource for AI scraping, and they don't want it to repeat that anti-vaxxers should suffer more to their cooker clientele 🤔
This is why you use AI to destroy AI.
After I was perma-banned, I used a bot to re-open my past posts and replace my original content with AI generated garbage.
Salt the fields upon which AI grows.
I was banned for showing "extreme indifference" about Kissinger taking a dirt nap.
It can happen here too
Reddit really testing the limits of Dead Internet Theory
I was banned for a while, saying that NATO countries should declare war on Russia and kill Putin. That was a political news Reddit, and the topic was about Russia's Shadow Fleets and sabotage operations. War, the consideration and advocation, is an inherently political thing.
Reddit would say that Churchill wanting to fight Nazi Germany is advocating for violence. While technically true, it misses the fact that sometimes words cannot broker peace nor civility.
I can’t believe they banned me for what they banned me for too. After 16 years on the platform. Fuck em
I got banned for telling a legit Nazi to fuck himself up the ass with a cactus, no lube.
Banned for threatening violence and hate speech apparently.
Yeah, my initial main account ban was because I said "if you try to have a monkey as a pet, you deserve to be bitten by it" on a video of a guy who had a monkey ripping shit up in his apartment and that bites him on the hand at one point.
That apparently counts as inciting violence rather than y'know implying that people shouldn't own fucking monkeys which I felt was pretty clear given the context.
Evidently my angry sounding unban request was not well received.
Hahaha, sorry for laughing but reddit ia such a joke.
Yeah it’s ridiculous.
This place:
"I hate you and your dumb. Yay, my opinion is finally seen!"
Yeah, of course... spez hates discussion of supposedly committing violence by anyone from center to left.
It does not help that they're using AI-assisted profiling, information used by both mods and site admins to determine the number of strikes to ban users.

What was the reason though? Personally I never used Reddit. So I don't know about them
I have only one account left on reddit 😕
Burn it by saying something epic.
And in the end it wasn't even really anything I said as much as the autoflag got my ass for posting on a temp account in a sub that banned my main account. Caught a perma ban for all my accounts with that shit.
All because I originally said I hoped Elon overd*sed. (don't wanna be banned from here too so censor it is.) They're especially sensitive to that one in the Vancouver subreddit I guess for obvious reasons if you know about Vancouver.
the neat thing about lemmy is: i can freely say elon musk is a pedophile protector and ketamine addicted loner. i hope he overdoses and his death will be celebrated
