I get banned on Reddit about once a week. I don't even post controversial statements. Lemmy is ten times better. Just wish there were more users.

Got banned for telling some one "fuck you you neonazi apologizer". Apparently it was permanent banning offense, even after appealing. Lol.

They didn't ban the other dude. I guess he technically didn't say anything that was violated the rules of reddit. All he did was justify the actions of white supremacist in the past for all the non-white people colonization, murdering and plundering, describing it as a product of time, but at the same timez he was also not okay with white people colonization.

Funny how things work.

Reddit has become so sterile, all the comments look the same and reposted, i dont think ppl post there anymore πŸ˜‚. And bunch of dead subs. Really different place that it used to be. Lemmy is much better place

Sometimes I was just being ironic or just joking. A few advertisements were being made over the grounded F-35 in India. I joked that its departure would be like the moon landings all over again and broadcasted similarly all over India.

They hated it. Thought I was being serious. Despite an edit to make it clearer, I still got the Reddit ban hammer.

I deleted my account the same day. A 15 year or more account.

That's hilarious actually. Didn't know India got f-35 planes

[–] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

What's even more hilarious is that my comment was reported and myself banned for 'hate speech'. That's when I knew Reddit is fucked and I'm never going back.

It doesn’t (yet, Trump has sort of said they could buy it). The OP was talking about a British F-35B that had a technical issue and got stranded due to a missing part to fix it.

Im here now because of a reddit ban.
