Why I got temporarily banned from, and why I’m not going back to Reddit. (lemmy.world)

NSFW 74 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Someone made a post with a picture of a blonde haired blue eyed child. The title was “Would you slap this child for 88 million dollars?”

I said “Slap!?!?? I would eat that child’s still beating heart for 88 million dollars.”

Next day I log in to find out I had been temp banned for 7 days for sexualization/abuse of a minor.

I uninstalled Reddit. That was 11 days ago and I haven’t been back. Context is important. Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars to eat a child’s heart. Not to mention, do you really want to make deals with people that can offer that to you? I mean, I wouldn’t.

All this has led me to realize. I don’t want to be part of a community with no sense of humor.

I would post a link but not only was my comment deleted. The thread was too I think.

Thing is, the rest of us who abandoned reddit years ago warned of exactly this kind of thing happening. We were called Nazis. You guys are catching up after years of name-calling those who saw what was happening and now want our sympathy.

Lololol and you think this place is going to be better? This place is ONLY filled with power mods. They don't even give you a reason or a message.

I once got banned from pisting in a subreddit. It was some shitpost sub. I honestly didn't care much, and just wrote him back if he's serious.
I made a new account, which i wanted to do for a while anywhere. That's when i found out that he ip banned me. Fuck this place.

I got banned from multiple subreddit because i wrote a comment in a covid subreddit about the new WHO invistigation that point at Wuhan lab to be the source.

I also got banned from r/blackTwitterPepole or something like that, because I couldn't provide an image proof of my skin that I am black.

What annoying is that the subreddit is featured in r/all and I cannot block it.

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, there is actually a way to block subreddits, you had to go to the old reddit and add some keys to filter it out from the r/all feed. I actually blocked BPT for that same reason. When going into a post I often did not look which subreddits I would be commenting on when I was coming from r/all so naturally unwittinglycommented on a lot of BPT posts. And I would often find messages, all from BPT, saying my comment was deleted and apparently I needed to send a picture of my skin(?!) Weird creepy and racist so I had to block them from my feed because I'm not interested in seeing posts from a community like that let alone interact with them.

Yeah, the whole hysteria behind suppressing speech regarding COVID being a lab leak was ridiculous. And the more you read the worse it is, there were some bad actors in the west with serious conflicts of interests that published and push the narrative of the virus coming from a wetmarket and politically attacked anyone who published any information to the contrary. Then a year later evidence only keeps mounting towards a lab leak. I wish could write more, the whole thing is bonkers and people should be at the very least out of a job.

Also I don’t understand people downvoting your comment. Why would people move out from reddit and support the same shitty policies that made us leave in the first place. I'm guessing they are still believing some of the old (now contested) covid origin narratives or are sensitive to criticizing BPT.

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

There are three reasons that I can think of to why my comment is downvoted. One, these are account that Chinese agency runs to downvote anything relating to wuhan lab. Second, these are BPT useres who don't see how racist the subreddit is. Three, and what I think is the most likely, they think I am a conspiracy theorist, white supremacist person with right wing agenda.

The funny thing is I am from the Middle East, have dark skin color, triple vacinated and ware a mask all the time in poorly ventilated areas.

I look at things from an outsider perspective and the more your read invistigation, and then you look at social media and politican you see how things are so fucked up. They gaslight normal people who actually read reports and validate information and label them as right wing, concipricy theorist and flat earther. While they push the others towards believing whatever they want to push as the absolute truth. Although, history is full with corporations, governments and media claims that turn to be deadly.

Thanks for sharing your experience at least I know I am not alone...
