You were banned from Reddit for saying that? I feel like I’ve said worse and somehow haven’t got one yet.

You know, looking back getting banned for saying “fuck trump and Obama” was a blessing in disguise. I still miss my cheap knockoff watch sub though :(

Damn Reddit admins are fucking weird.

Lemmy’s aren’t much better. Despite being pretty far left, I’m banned from the progressive politics sub for completely fabricated reasons. And for context, I often get into arguments with .ml & hexbear users, and aside from some random communities I’ve never interacted with, they haven’t banned me from much.
The role just attracted the wrong type of person.

I find Lemmy’s not much different if not more aggressive 🤷♂️

You got a permaban for saying fuck the president and obama? I said that all the time on there, the democratic cheerleaders get on my case but I’ve reason on my side, obama was a failure, biden was a failure, not fit for the moment, although at least obama could work a crowd biden was just embarrassing.
How many other violations had you gotten on that account before then? I always drop them after the 2nd one to prevent getting a permaban, but then quit for quite a while, first time a year and a half before I overcame my spite about being violated dishonestly for what I suspect was Israel related in fact but seized on unrelated posts not even against the rules.

I got perm banned from news@lemmy.world for saying “good” when Trump got a bloody ear
hector@lemmy.today 2 hours ago
Huh. There should be clear rules to these subs, and an appeal process that ends in a jury trial of users. If the fediverse is ever going to reach critical mass it needs to be better than those silicon valley parasites that unfairly moderate for powerful interests like the government in dishonest ways.

All my email addresses are perma-banned for replying to right wingers. I had death threats, people questioning my sanity and calling me slurs. When I tried to respond with even an iota of the same energy - banned. On Reddit, the right wing is king.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 hours ago
Yup. Despite all their virtue signaling, they give miles more leeway to chuds. Funny enough, despite my decade plus on there arguing with right winged idiots, I never got a “KYS” message. But only two months on here some hexbear bitch popped my cherry because I had the audacity to claim Hasan Piker did in fact shock his dog for the crime of wanting to move out of frame.

The chuds stir the shit and create clicks for cash.

kys message?
You know there are worse things for a dog than a shock collar, getting killed in traffic, or shot by the neighbors, or hurting a neighbor’s dog, being amongst them. They learn pretty soon with the shock there are audio warnings so they aren’t getting shocked all the time.

My sibling in baphomet, watch the video. I’ll break it down for ya actually.
Dog moves, Hasan’s hand goes out of frame, the dog immediately yelps, and his immediate reaction is not of compassion and wondering why his dog just hollered in pain! It was him immediately insulting her!
I’m a big animal lover. And I think you are wrong!

This is my second attempt at re-joining Lemmy after experiencing the same brother.
It sucks having to moderate yourself online so hard when you’re passionate, genuinely care and what to share the uncomfortable truths of the world, but the consequence of a 24/7 deluge of negativity when you have a life to live is just not worth it hey.
I’ve been a bit of a hermit online and offline since the pandemic, 2026 is my year to try to strategically begin getting back out there!

I believe in you homie. But sadly this is my form of social interaction cause I work hardware security in secure facilities, which means I vastly work alone. Well this and Uber, but the people getting Uber in my state, are usually not people I see eye to eye with politically. So I usually just talk food, or about my kitty Furryosa.
