Reddit is a full blown Nazi sympathizing shithole at this point. Good riddance.
Reddit really testing the limits of Dead Internet Theory
Everyone is a bot except for you
Same, I was banned for a BS reason. It seems like they are basically looking any for reason to ban leftists at this point, it doesnt even have to be justified
Reddit is going crazy with the bans. A perma ban can result from something as simple as saying something like "I hope the consequences of not vaccinating are more deeply suffered by anti-vaxxers than by people who are not vaxxed from an allergy or something". After all, that constitutes "hoping for violence/death".
I was banned for showing "extreme indifference" about Kissinger taking a dirt nap.
I wonder if it's because Reddit is now a prime resource for AI scraping, and they don't want it to repeat that anti-vaxxers should suffer more to their cooker clientele 🤔
Fuck reddit. Zionist fascsist infested shithole
The "one thing" he said:
Edit: Kinda funny how He's flipping the bird backwards here though.
Yeah I did, I said nazi's can go fuck themselves. That got me a warning. Then I said anti-vaxxers are idiots and that forced vaccinations might be a good idea. When I said that they said I was promoting violence and that got me banned. Seriously, fuck Reddit.
I posted a gif of Luigi from Luigi’s Mansion and got a warning for promoting violence or whatever. So I just deleted my account and migrated.
I see r/unvaccinated has gotten its filthy infested little fingers into Spez's brain.
As am I. Apparently the Zionists subreddit mods don't like it when you compare Israeli propaganda to Nazi propaganda.
You’re not supposed to compare apples to other very similar apples. It upsets people.
i like the type of person coming here because of that. welcome to lemmy, we have memes too.
I got banned for telling a legit Nazi to fuck himself up the ass with a cactus, no lube.
Banned for threatening violence and hate speech apparently.
Yeah, my initial main account ban was because I said "if you try to have a monkey as a pet, you deserve to be bitten by it" on a video of a guy who had a monkey ripping shit up in his apartment and that bites him on the hand at one point.
That apparently counts as inciting violence rather than y'know implying that people shouldn't own fucking monkeys which I felt was pretty clear given the context.
Evidently my angry sounding unban request was not well received.
Maybe it's just me, but no matter what the ban was for (I'm very aware Reddit is going ban-crazy and has just been shit in general,) I feel it's a bad omen that one community (connected communities, fediverse, what have you) is being largely inhabited by people banned from other communities.
reddit bans people for saying things like "isreal shouldn't be genociding the gazans"
That's what got me banned.
I don't disagree, but it depends on the reason. Getting banned for calling out Zionism, or for being a leftist in general? Great! Come to Lemmy!
I was banned for a while, saying that NATO countries should declare war on Russia and kill Putin. That was a political news Reddit, and the topic was about Russia's Shadow Fleets and sabotage operations. War, the consideration and advocation, is an inherently political thing.
Reddit would say that Churchill wanting to fight Nazi Germany is advocating for violence. While technically true, it misses the fact that sometimes words cannot broker peace nor civility.
I have so many bans on Reddit.
I was banned from r/soapmaking for saying that people who buy soap made by other people, melt it, add perfume and trinkets, and pour it into moulds aren't making soap, they're doing arts and crafts. I raise the pigs, render the fat to make lard, and do the chemistry to turn it into soap. I make soap.
I was banned from r/canada for wondering if Danielle Smith was going to pay the lunatic street preecher charged with violating Covid restrictions a conjugal visit, after she made a fawning phone call to him while he was on trial, when he was convicted and sentenced to jail.
I was banned from r/Conservative for pointing out that the headlines that said that the DOJ had found massive voter fraud in Georgia was actually written by a Trump political appointee and contradicted the DOJ, the Republican Attorney General of the United States, the Republican Attorney General of Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State of Georgia, and Republican election officials from Georgia.
I was banned from the Freedom Convoy sub for asking which constitutional rights had been taken away since the protesters had exercised their Section 2 rights to assemble, their Section 6 rights to cross interprovincial borders freely and that they were free to leave Canada if they could find any country that would take them and free to return if they quarantined, and that since none of them were vaccinated they had obviously exercised their Section 8 right not to receive the vaccine.
Never, ever speak truth into an echo bunker.
Bans seem harsh but you do seem like me, just a generally contemptible asshole.
Meh. They're pathetic fucking snowflakes, one and all. I just speak the truth to snowflakes.
Welcome in! Enjoy your stay.
All I'll say is that Lemmy is smaller than Reddit, so naturally a lot of convos default to politics and tech.
Because of that though, you'll be exposed to potentially new ideas regarding both. So be open minded! But also know that you can block users, communities, and instances if you find them unbearable.
Cheers
Yo, this place is dope, fuck reddit
How do you guys even get banned? I'm straight up posting AI-generated suicide instructions nowadays, and I get more engagement and less shadow removals than I had before.
I got a 6 day ban for calling out people acting like Nazis
You have to post anything a fascist would hate. Fascists love undesirables killing themselves.
What got you banned? I said mean things about Elon Musk.
I got banned for saying in a Captain America thread that I’d love to see a version of the classic Captain America comic book cover where Cap punches Trump intead of Hitler.
I was apparently inciting violence.
Praise the fediverse!
Inciting violence was the reason given for me too. Challenging Nazis is violent to them. Don’t let them normalize this idiocy.
Yeah, of course... spez hates discussion of supposedly committing violence by anyone from center to left.
It does not help that they're using AI-assisted profiling, information used by both mods and site admins to determine the number of strikes to ban users.
And in the end it wasn't even really anything I said as much as the autoflag got my ass for posting on a temp account in a sub that banned my main account. Caught a perma ban for all my accounts with that shit.
All because I originally said I hoped Elon overd*sed. (don't wanna be banned from here too so censor it is.) They're especially sensitive to that one in the Vancouver subreddit I guess for obvious reasons if you know about Vancouver.
the neat thing about lemmy is: i can freely say elon musk is a pedophile protector and ketamine addicted loner. i hope he overdoses and his death will be celebrated
I can’t believe they banned me for what they banned me for too. After 16 years on the platform. Fuck em
Welcome internet stranger, you made the right choice.
Hey, hope you enjoy! Been here a couple years myself and enjoy it a lot more than Reddit, though I was never banned from it.
Reddit is nearly 100% AI bots these days on the popular subs. You're good to get away. The interface over here is shite and takes forever to figure out, but the people are nice.
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
