    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

    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

      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 helpfully added to the end of a comment, “If you see a Nazi, punch a Nazi”, as a play on “If you see something, say something.” That got me a one-week suspension. A couple of weeks later, I posted a link to a site that explains how many of the top corporations are owned and controlled, through stocks, by a small group of the same billionaires–they all sit on each other’s boards and block outsiders from being elected. That got me a permanent suspension. I haven’t been back.

        This was on my account that is eight years old, and had over a million comment karma, and about 40,000 post karma. Fuck 'em.

            Apparently some guy decided to report me for posting C.P (there wasn’t a single person pic in my profile even) and reddit gave me the ban

            and when I asked for the appeal they didn’t even check it

    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 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 🤔

        This is why you use AI to destroy AI.

        After I was perma-banned, I used a bot to re-open my past posts and replace my original content with AI generated garbage.

        Salt the fields upon which AI grows.

    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.

    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.

    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 3 day ban for suggesting the Jan 6ers should have been shot for being traitors.

      Then got a 7 day ban for joking that a violent insurrection was needed in my own country.

      I wouldn’t have minded if I was banned for being a filthy hypocrite.

        I mean, I just use AI to generate comments and mix suicide instructions in. Something like commenting a cupcake recipe and adding “tie rope around your neck” and “jump out the window” in between the steps provided by AI.

    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.

      I’ve been banned from reddit hundreds of times, I have a bot that creates accounts, I say whatever I want, get banned, move to the next account.

      Also, every time I get banned I make sure to file an appeal where I tell the admins to gargle my balls.

      It’s pretty fun community to be a part of 6/10

      • I absolutely adore how Reddit is convinced that an account has any sort of value attached to it.

        When some Goebbels cock gobbling SSAdmin shadow banned my 18 year old account… I just made another, absolutely nothing of value was lost.

        Because Reddit is a Nazi sympathizing shithole, all I’ll ever do is take and consume - I’ll buy your competitors products at an increased cost to me if I see you advertising on Reddit.

    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.

    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.
