So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn’t do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.
I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)
I got banned for saying, “If you see a Nazi, punch a Nazi”, as a play on “If you see something, say something”.
I had over 950K karma on a 9-year-old account.
I still read a couple of subs there, but I won’t care if they start requiring an account to read. I can leave them behind.
You got banned from the entire site for that?
I got banned from the entire site for reporting a “kill all men” post for misandry.
If you do something an admin doesn’t like, they ban you.
I got permanently banned from the entire site for saying I wanted Karoline Leavitt gone. Someone said her nose is now to small for her face after plastic surgery. And i replied she should just follow her small nose and be gone.
Hahaha that’s a good one
That is standard now. All calls for violence are banworthy, zero exceptions.
Yeah, I’ve had two bans, a three-day and a seven-day, for “calls for violence.” In my opinion, that term is very loosely applied. That being said, site wide permabans for first infractions aren’t a thing.
OP saying “I didn’t do anything” is bullshit too and doesn’t help anyone. Just say what you did, it probably doesn’t warrant the ban, but not being truthful about it is pointless.
Quite right, I got permabanned for something very innocuous after lots of three-day bans for quite strident support for targeted violence against the rich, ie Luigi type stuff.
I think the actual ban was from me pointing out that the people murdered on Bondi Beach were there at a religious event which, while attended by lots of perfectly innocent Jewish people for fine reasons, was organised and funded by a right-wing Zionist group that is quite controversial.
I also made sure to say that it did not excuse the actions of the two killers at all.
It would be like shooting up a Catholic church during the Christmas Mass.
The Roman Catholic Church is responsible for immeasurable pain and suffering throughout history and recently, but most of the people at mass are just there for Christmas stuff; they didn’t run the church.
I appealed the ban, they upheld it, I came here.
Yeah, they kept calling the gifs I posted (below) calls for violence. Just tell me explicitly not to post weegee and we're cool. Don't bullshit it.
I never appealed my bans, because who gives a fuck it’s social media
With an exception for Nazis. Fuck fascists.
I was not sure, but I do have the impression this is true. I hope spez follows his leader.
Oh wait, I misread your post. I was advocating for violence against nazis.
No, reddit actively promotes hateful content if anything. As long as it is advertiser friendly. They couldn’t give a fuck about banning them.
Indeed. Unfortunately if you call for violence against Nazis you get banned. That was the first one I got, for suggesting punching as a solution!
High five. I got mine for saying “fuck all nazis and colonial apologia”.
I got a perma ban from the whole site for literally saying the words “thatsthejoke.jpeg” on a thread about a tongue in cheek DYI cat tree that was made to look like the twin towers.
Someone was upset because in the video they’re attaching a small plane to the top of one tower for a cat swat toy. In the video they call it “a little birdie for the cat to play with” and the comment i replied to was upset saying it was clearly an airplane. I simply replied “thatsthejoke.jpeg”.
The next morning I was perma banned from Reddit.
reddit uses an AI to ban people, if your new account even twitches it can shadowban you.
I follow a couple subs, but only via rss. i don’t go to their site at all. fuck spez, as obligatory.
