I got permanently banned for wishing violence upon neo-nazis.
Same, funny thing is that the post I said it on did the same thing. Reddit admins are incompetent and inconsistent.
Good. Rules are rules. I hate this reddit thing of it's ok for certain groups but not for others.
So nazis can wish upon deaths of anyone, when I do the same I get banned. Right, got it
I didn't say that: First, I don't regularly see Nazis on reddit, second, it's nearly impossible to take the term "Nazi" at face value anymore, especially from pearl-clutching emotionally frantic seeming types such as yourself, third if there were Nazis and they threatened someone, they should be banned. Rules are rules. You don't get to threaten people.....even if you don't like them. Reddit is terrible, and bans people over nothing, but in your case, you clearly broke (a reasonable) rule and you got banned. The end.
Obviously, you won't see them unless you browse communities that actively harboured them.
Calling "nazi" impossible to take seriously is pretty funny, given this exact same thing is used by right-tards and "enlightened" centrists, to quickly shut off any conversation and to defend the indefensible
Call it Nazi, Neo-nazi, far-right, it does not matter. If you harbour racist, transphobic, homophobic or other hateful views, what other response do you want for it? Debating them does not work. They do not argue in good faith. Removing them from the conversation entirely is the way to go. Because surely we talked to the nazis in WW2, right? "UwU, pwease don't kill any more innocent people." No.
If you let the intolerant in your tolerant society, guess what will happen.
So please, do call me emotionally frantic pearl clutching for not wanting my friends murdered for being gay or trans or black. It honestly says more about you than me.
I'm in a minority that Nazis want killed, so don't lecture me on what is the appropriate course of action. Essentially it seems your argument is "I went looking for Nazis and I found them, then I broke the rules and I want immunity" It doesn't seem to different from what the Nazis themselves say. Your problem isn't with fascism, it's that you aren't the one at the top of it.
.....and yes, all your wild conjecture about me does seem emotionally frantic and pearl-clutching, and makes you and others like you incredibly hard to take seriously, and so, in fact.......I don't.
I once created a LPT post about how rotating different shampoos can help prevent your body from developing tolerance (this is still a great LPT by the way; if you have dandruff or some other bodily condition like dry skin and your shampoo or lotion loses efficacy over time, try buying a few different types and rotating your usage so you don’t develop tolerance). Aaaanyway, my post got deleted for being “medical advice.” Reddit kids are the worst.
That's like an actual advice I got from an hairdresser when I was younger. Absolutely cleared my dandruff issue
Interesting! I’ll keep that knowledge somewhere. I have psoriasis. So, thanks!
I read about a similar situation recently ... a thread where people were joking around about NSFW stuff and someone commented "that guy must be hung" (as in "big member") and got suspended for hate speech / inciting violence because the mod apparently thought they meant "go hang that guy" (as in execute).
So yes, context matters greatly, especially when dealing with snarky comments and reactions to shitposts, where people usually aren't as serious.
When people don't know the difference between hung and hanged, unnecessary bans happen.
Huh my dog just alerted like he heard something.
I did not see that coming
Good dog. Give pupper a steak for me!
Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars
The best I can do is aboot three fiddy.
I was hoping the over used tree fiddy meme would die or at least not come over to lemmy.
Bring back dickbutt and let tree fiddy die please
Once Loch Ness is finally subdued, the meme will die.
Agreed
I don’t care. I love that. I play deep rock galactic, and there is a thing where the dwarves yell “Die Monster!”, and I think about that every time.
User makes worst joke ever, asked to leave reddit.
That's a pretty average joke when talking about such absurd hypotheticals.
Still, I think my own joke's funny.
Honestly that's pretty bad compared to some of the times I got banned over the years. I got banned once for pointing out that a post about not wanting to talk to men about feminism was toxic and detrimental to spreading understanding of ideas. The mods of some of the subs will just ban you for saying something is illogical.
Same. I once pointed out some toxic femininity on TwoXChromosomes and got permabanned. Talk about double standards...
The mods of some of the subs will just ban you
Yup.
I used to mod some big subs and saw one of the dumbest ways the admins banned someone.
So one of the mods I knew posted a video of a picture containing a microwave with Alvin & The Chipmunks photoshopped in. The video had audio of a microwave turned on with high pitched screaming too.
https://youtu.be/MsJCTNvPZVM?si=66xVCf1ho13mIzbN
That 14 second video he posted on a sub he modded got the admins to permanently ban him across Reddit and then refuses to ever reply to him when he asked why. It was perfectly acceptable for that subreddit too.
Hell I even started a conversation with some admins for some other issues and asked them about it. They ignored that question completely lol.
I don't regret leaving that site. I do regret modding big subs tho lmao.
This happened in holup. One of the most ridiculous subs. I mean since they got rid of spacedicks and watchpeopledie. You know, all the good stuff.
Most of spacedicks was just stupid stuff (and I think one or two actual space dicks) last time I looked. It was the kind of sub you'd browse once for the laughs and then never have any urge to go back unless someone linked to it. And the warnings were waaaaaayyyy overdone, to the point that when it got banned I remember being shocked that anyone would genuinely be offended by it.
I'll never understand it, lol. But now I don't have to, so there's that. Couldn't pay me to go back now.

Consider deleting your account fully
Ironically, you can only access that by using the reddit app...
I got it to work by opening in my mobile Firefox based browser and going into desktop mode, so clearly r€ddit isn't doing good enough work to block people from accessing it.
The "would you" was lame. The joke was pedestrian.
It's all extremely underwhelming. 0/5 all around.
I got perma banned on my original account for telling someone to "crawl back in their hole"
Apparently that's "telling someone to kill themselves"
At least that's what the power tripping mod told me.
This is my second temporary ban. I have a similar username on Reddit. A couple of people were saying that I was a trash human for having this username. So I told one of them “I love you. I unironically hope you have a long and happy life. I hope that all the good things happen to you.”
That apparently is harassment.
I got perma-banned for pointing out that if we wanted to find out if ancient execution methods worked there were plenty of child molesters around.
Literally the next day their was a huge thread at the top of the technology subreddit saying all kinds of shit like that about printer company executives. I appealed asking what the difference was and all I got back was a canned response. I checked a few days later and all the comments on that thread were still there.
The only conclusion I can make from this is that Reddit wants to be a safe space for child molesters specifically which seems pretty sus to me.
Weird, I always got permabanned for similar jokes.
They really started cracking down on dark humor right around the time they first told 3P developers just how hard they were fucking them over. My guess is that it's part of the overall enshittification plan - sterilization of all posts in preparation for the IPO.
Ironically, my appeal to my last permaban went through during the blackout in June. I got an email about it, but I never bothered to log back in.
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.
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.
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...
i got banned from a sports team subreddit for being upset about the team. that's how sports works
blonde haired blue eyed child
88 million dollars
I wonder if the post was actually a dog whistle for other people that sympathize with Nazis. Sus af
Probably looking too much into it.
I don’t know. The original post was removed. The mods put a note on it saying the the child had actually been abused. So, I don’t know if I was supposed to know who he was or what.
