I got perma-banned from a (mainstream, ordinary) sub for — and I’m really not joking here — criticising the “Caravan of Death”, which was a fascist death squad used by Chilean dictator Pinochet to assassinate political opponents in 1973.
I asked the mod team if they could specify the rule I broke, and then clearly they asked a Reddit admin to block my entire account, because that’s what happened.
Maybe I could appeal and get the account back, but I don’t really care that much.
Let’s see…I’ve been banned from subs I’ve never viewed so much as a single post from for having commented on other, entirely unrelated subs.
I’ve been banned from r/atheism for “egregious immorality” which ironically sounds like the sort of thing you’d be banned from a religious sub for.
How long ago was this? This sounds like actions that the past couple years worth of mods would take, but maybe I’m wrong.
Last week
Makes sense. Sorry that happened to you. Hopefully Lemmy won’t becomes like that (I mean as a whole, individual instance still can and have become like that).
Yeah, just endorse punching Nazis, a friend of mine got banned from Reddit for that.
I mean, that is technically promoting violence against an identifiable minority political group.
Recently? Because that would make sense. That’s basically who’s left on the platform.
Like a month before the API changes, actually.
I left a couple months before the change (after the announcement). I was lurking here again, since I lost my password to my previous Lemmy account. Maybe others are doing similar things, and reddit was already emptying of its more friendly community.

You can get randomly banned on reddit.
