Honestly, I'd be interested to hear about your adventures.
I just nuked my account and fecked off to Lemmy after the API kill.
I just... left.
They didn’t ban me; I banned them…
I didn't. I left when they killed RiF
They killed Apollo in cold blood!
Same, sad they killed rif but at least it pushed me to lemmy
I got banned for "attempting to circumvent a ban" despite not being banned at the time.
Wait, can you tell more?
No. I don't know anything else. I tried to appeal the ban but never heard anything else. Fuck 'em
By the way, my 3rd account was banned because I asked why my post was banned.
I didn't. I left of my own accord.
I said billionaires should be put to the guillotine.
I asked why the CIA hadn't killed Trump yet. That, and upvoting a comment of a user who later got banned, got me banned.
I was added to a moderation list on Bluesky for following someone on Twitter and subsequently muting them, and then forgetting I had followed them when I used a tool to migrate all of my follows to Bluesky. Which is just a stupid mistake, but what about people who are following notable bigots because they're journalists and have to keep tabs on what they say?
Being banned for upvoting someone's comment seems similarly tunnel-visioned. If you're upvoting their pun about the moon or their helpful cooking suggestion or their computer build tip, getting banned because you didn't check their entire post history before upvoting is absolutely insane to me.
Guilt by association is only a thing if it's actually association.
Honesty can be deadly. :3
Same
I told homophobes they were pieces of shit and got permabanned for it
Well, that was pretty insulting to pieces of shit…
I got banned for repeatedly tagging a global warming denier in posts about climate change
I said Italy knows how to deal with fascists in a post about Mussolini.
Someone asked if a prisoner being resuscitated has finished serving their life sentence, I said you have to be irrevocably dead, admins said that promotes violence.
I got blocked from the subreddit I created because I made it private due to the API debacle and refused to make it public until they undid the decision.
Remember when Elon Musk had that black eye and said his son punched him? I said "can't blame him". Which is, of course, glorifying violence.
Banned for going after Israel and IDF shills promoting hate speech and calling for violence. Clear violations of the TOS, even back in 2023, but reporting it got me perma-banned after 13 years.
Heroes, as always, are not respected, but eliminated.
I got banned from /r/WorldNews and /r/ukpolitics for saying that "from the river to the sea" isn't antisemitic. It was in the early days post Oct 7th when reddit was virulently pro-Israel; I don't think they'd do the same nowadays.
I didn't leave immediately but thinking about it again really pissed me off as I'd been a regular commenter without much issue for years. It genuinely left me feeling quite depressed thinking about how little I mattered to them. When you get banned there's always some shit about how you should ask if you don't understand the ban, but one sub never replied, the other went further and told me to stop messaging their mods (I did so once a week when I wasn't receiving replies, to not spam them) so that was meaningless.
The irony is that here I'm usually getting downvoted for being insufficiently anti-Israel.
I got permabanned for saying billionaires deserve death one too many times.
Calling for Elon Musk to get burned by the Canadian government for subsidy fraud. They took me literally, instead of recognizing the term for when a government disavows, or cuts all ties with a person or business, is called getting "burned".
A posted a meme in r/conservative that featured the home addresses of prominent conservative talking heads in a thread about how the left can't meme.
"Report button abuse" for reporting too many blatant ads as spam.
It happened right around the same time as the API fiasco, so I didn't give two flying fucks. I was leaving anyway.
I got "VPN banned" despite not using a VPN lmao
Granted I haden't used the service since the API changes anyway, so no loss there, but I did get a pretty big chuckle when i finally found that out.
Banned from r/worldnews for "racism" (said that the Russian elites have been committing social and moral degradation for centuries, by killing, imprisoning or exiling anyone with independent thoughts). Banned from numerous subreddits for "participating in a hate subreddit" (correcting someone once in r/KotakuInAction).
As if Lemmy was any better.
Great thing about Lemmy is you can't get banned from the whole thing because you pissed off a single touchy admin.
Also ban evasion is easier if it does happen.
Well, at least for now Lemmy hasn't reached the level of Reddit, that's good, that's already a divine miracle.
Well, just because it has 0.000000001% of reddit's audience. People is equally shitty here as on reddit.
It's extra funny because you got downvoted. People don't realize you can get banned here just for voting in a way they don't like, and not even on a post in that particular community that banned you.
Told some tankie Russian apologist to 'go suck your brother's dick again'. Boom. All accounts banned. I guess I hit too close to the mark.
Permanently Banned for inciting violence.
I said the Trump government was going to put LGBT people in camps and this was a bad thing.
I got banned for telling conservatives to go fuck themselves too intensely.
I left when they killed Apollo and third party apps altogether. The only way I viewed Reddit was through that app, so Reddit was dead to me at that point. I used a tool that edited all of my old comments, deleted my 10-year-old+ account and left forever.
1st time: no idea - got shadowbanned 2nd time: laughing at charlie kirk
On a video of an ICE agent, jumping out of his civilian vehicle and pointing an automatic weapon At some people, I simply suggested that it would be hilarious if someone jumped in his car and drove it away. He left the driver door wide open, and I seriously doubt he took his keys with him. I just thought it would be funny to see him react to that. It wasn’t a permaban, but it was enough to get me to jump ship.
