They said I threatened violence because in a thread about Putin potentially being sick, I said I wished he had a painful slow death.
Apparently even bloodthirsty dictators get to have their poor feelings protected by Reddit.
Fuck Reddit! I’m just gonna abandon that shit platform

Idek wtf i said lmaoo. Atleast you got told you were deplatformed for daring to disagree with the regime. I just got shown the door. This place seems much nicer though.

Well, I had enough of this bullshit, and together with news that Reddit’s CEO was pressured by Musk of all people to curb dissent, I just deleted my accounts.
Bye Reddit.
I’m 100% a Lemmee guy now

a ludicrous ban, is when i got “temp banned for report abuse” turns out if you report too many people who have spreading misinformaiton or lies, you get automatically flagged.
carrion0409@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
The excuse to ban someone over reporting will never not be hilarious to me. Like dawg, sorry were making you do your fucking job and improve your site.

I had two main accounts. My oldest account got permabanned for a joke about Nick Fuentes. After his address got doxxed and he pepper sprayed a woman who rang his doorbell back in December of last year, I said “hey as an incel he should be happy that the ladies know where he lives now so they can share a cocktail with him”, and I added a cartoon gif of a Molotov. It was obviously a joke, but they said it was “promoting/glorifying violence”. I ate the bullet on that one because they were technically right, even if they were a bunch of humorless twats.
My other account got banned about a month ago when I up voted a comment that was just a picture of Luigi Luigi (the Nintendo character) smoking a cigarette. Again for “promoting/glorifying violence”.
Elon Musk is a weak little crybaby and Steve Huffman is a pathetic coward.

sounds like you were part of the ban waves going on. there was one around the election, another around DEC mid, we noticed because reddit was extremely quiet of all propaganda for like a day or 2.
lydon_feen@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Wait… What?
Sure, the first example is understandable.
The second!? WTF!?

Yeah they’ve come out and said recently that even interacting with any content or comments that could so much as be perceived as being related to Luigi Mangione is a violation of Reddits policies against promoting violence. People have been getting warnings that their accounts are in danger of being permanently banned just for visiting certain subs. Not for posting. Not for commenting. Not even for voting. Just for visiting.

Truly out of 1984.
