Reddit

Yeah I got banned for 7 days then used my alt account and got hit with a perma ban. I got banned last summer and have not really regretted it. I was part of the Digg migration so I had been there a long time. I was pissed at first then I realized it really means nothing in the end.

It's funny how we used to have this trope of the mighty censorship bureau that has to rubberstamp everything (like they do for movies) but the reality is that the sycophants will trip over themselves to censor their neighbors in order to please those above. In Reddits case you have subreddit mods banning and censoring to please the reddit mods, who are trying to please reddit management, who are trying to please people like Musk, who are trying to please Trump. Trump doesn't have to say anything, those low level Mods are doing all the censoring for him pro bono.

Spez is a spineless cuck.

I got banned for saying Andrew Tate fans are fucking retarded.

Welcome, c'mon in outta the cold. There's a warm spot of ere

Holy crap that is EXACTLY what happened to me this week. I wasn’t top contributor or anything so grand but I got a 7 ban after criticizing imperialism which after making an appeal that was rejected. I literally did nothing afterwards but woke up to a perma ban that was issued several hours after with no indication of why.

First permaban was for asking: "Any updates on Mitch McConnell? I could use some good news." Mod appeal denied

Then on another account a year later (bc I got so many death threats from Nazis on Reddit), I forgot I had a ban on that sub and said, "We should spend money feeding our kids instead of spending it to blow up someone else's kids." And that was an IP ban.

Crazy, I've seen literal Nazis on there not even get comments removed. We live in dark times.

Congrats. Now you can go to lemmy.ml and get banned for the exact same thing.

"Edolf" lol. My pet name for Trump is Liddle Shitler.

I cant even tell you what I got banned for because they banned me without saying why. I dont even know the last thing I was talking about was finding anime in the style of berserk.

Same, happened to me hours ago, with no message stating why, or no recourse.

Elon whined to Spez to do something about Redditors being mean to him.

I guess it worked. Fuck both of them.

My leaving was originally from the api cost changes, I had payed for a 3rd party reader years ago and all of a sudden my lifetime of no ads was gone and I had to pay. This change was admittedly after reddit decided to follow twitters api cost changes. I am supprised at how close Elon and spez seem to be, given that I don't know of any photos of the two of them, they they probably only know each other as CEO's.

I got banned about a year ago for... checks notes repeatedly calling a genocidal army "bastards" =,D

Edit... ok maybe I called them sons of bitches and nazis.

Permabanned for reporting posts on r/truerateme

Same loool Let’s make Lemmy grow and leave any centralised social network.

I upvoted a comment that was just a gif of Luigi Luigi (from Nintendo) smoking a cigarette.

"Promoting/glorifying violence"

Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Fuck Elon.

Consider yourself lucky to be off that fascist bootlicking platform

I got my 10+ year old account permabanned for saying “trans women are women”, which somehow went against their rules about promoting violence. No warning given or anything. Appeal went ignored.

Likewise.

My first offense was recommending that we bring back the guillotine.

My second offense was saying that MTG and fElon needed to get punched in the face after they said that Sesame Street was woke trash that needed to be canceled.

Fuck those vile pieces of shit!

Over 13 years and a quarter million karma later, it has come down to this.

I got permabanned for criticizing Israel. The final comment that got me permabanned was literally 'No, just the problems they deserve blame for' to a zionist who accused all Lebanese of blaming all their problems on Israel.

I haven't nor plan to... but it's also worst and worst content and behavior so yesterday I request my data take-out.

I'm not sure if I'll just stay logged-out (like right now) or plainly delete my account but either I'm preparing a way out.

There is these blanket responses that goes like this: "Free speech is only that the government can't punish you" and "It's a private company it can moderate how it wants". I take a lot of issue issue with it. In our times the wast majority of speech takes place on online on privately owned plattforms. I don't se what the point is in freely submitting to a world where only corporate approved speech is allowed.

Edolf 🤣 using this from now on

My 11 year old account got banned and I'm not even sure why. I posed a lot over the years. They said I was banned, pointed to a deleted comment. When I asked what the comment said they replied the reviewed the ban and now I'm banned.

I believe it was for a comment about how America would be in trouble if they invaded Canada (I'm Canadian). I stated some basic facts that Canadians look like Americans and they will attack America on American soil. It was matter of fact, not promoting any sort of violence.

Whatever. America is dying. I suppose services hosted on American soil die right along with it. We're actively avoiding as many US products and services as possible, so Reddit can kick rocks.

I discovered Lemmy, it suits my needs and I like it better.

Welp, said Elon needs to be assassinated for involving himself in European politics as a non European plutocrat

Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.

Perma-banned for fighting back against the fascist take over of Reddit

I got banned for repeatly saying ashli babbit deserved a bullet. Got classified as promoting violence

I was already iffy about Reddit since the r/place #fuckspez whitewashing. I was never suspended - but when I learned Luigi was suddenly an "unperson" topic there, I realized that commercialized social media is inherently compromised.

I'm not swearing off FB/Insta entirely just yet, but every time I visit them I'm more and more vividly aware how tedious Meta channels are.
