… But all Nazis can go die or kill themselves.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I said “It’s ok to punch Nazis” and my 13 year old account was insta-banned.
Reddit it trash.
Daelsky@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Yup. I said things about Elon and Trump and how they are nazis supporting nazis like Putin commiting war crimes and I got a warning. Reddit can get lost.
Makhno@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I got banned when I saw someone say trans kids should be hunted in schools, and I told them I wish they’d get hit with a brick.
RedFrank24@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I got banned for making fun of Kemi Badenoch when she said autistic people are privileged. I said maybe she’s jealous that there are people that know more about trains than her. That was apparently enough to warrant a permanent ban.
Jaybird@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Thats be wise you where too much of a pacifist in your response.

I had my 13 year old account banned on reddit and the ‘final’ statement was saying ‘No, just the problems they deserve blame for’ to a Zionist who accused all Lebanese people of blaming all of Lebanon’s problems on Israel.
Just saying that apparently is a call to violence against Jews…
Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
israel has been working overtime on thier censorship of anti-israeli sentiment, both on reddit , msm and IRL. quashing protests, and having celebrities and politicians shilling for israel.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
badge of honor for calling these people out, i was temp ban early in the war for pointing out knesset/bibi/netanyahu was the sole enabler and institor of the war and also leading up to it, he ignored intel by other countries that a attack was likely to occur and he orchestrated some things with hamas in the past too.
Teknikal@eviltoast.org 4 weeks ago
I had an old account banned site wide for asking why there was an obvious gay guy on love island. Wasn’t even a malicious post I was genuinely curious how he faked his way on there.
Recently I got a temp ban for mentioning chatgpt on the books sub, someone was asking about a large selection of books and which were worth reading. I told him to get chatgpt to sort the list out by most popular. Apparantly even mentioning an llm exists there is a ban.
Kinda get the second one as authors all think chatgpt stealing from them or something but yeah I was talking about sorting a large list
Hoimo@ani.social 4 weeks ago
Why the hell would you go on a book community, open a discussion post that is clearly asking for personal opinions and go “I dunno lol go ask chatgpt”. I would’ve banned you too tbqh.
billwashere@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Jesus… ITT I learned mods on Reddit are fucking snowflakes.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
i got banned from lgbtq+ sub, but i was able to repeal it, because the reportee misconstrued my comment. thats the only time my comment got repealed, i still block the sub though.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Not gonna lose a lot of sleep over a hateful asshole getting banned from a website.
All hateful assholes believe their brand of hate is justified, just as you do.
exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Zionists deserve all the vitriol they get.
Lucky_777@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
If you want to call hating on Nazis “hateful” then by all means but other than child rapists and rapists in general. I fucking hate Nazis and they can all go die for I care. That group murdered millions. They deserve all the hate they get, all they way till the end of time.
Petter1@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Lol, how is it even possible to upvote banned content? I mean, is it not deleted if banned?
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Banned after you upvote it
See something that’s pro-Luigi? That’s banned content
Pro-lemmy? That’s banned content
Etc
InputZero@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
This type of behavior is never tolerate on Reddit. You disagree with a Redditor, straight to ban. No trial, no nothing. There’s no journalists. We’ll have a special subreddit for journallists. Under represent a Republican, believe it or not ban. Over represent a Democrat, also ban. Reddit has the best users on the internet.
Probius@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks ago
They probably did this specifically because people were upvoting our favorite plumber.
conicalscientist@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It means accounts that consistently upvote posts that end up being banned.
The naive take is that this will remove bot/brigade swarms that are collaboratively boosting content that breaks site wide rules. You can derive ulterior motives from this if you want but I’m pretty sure that’s the basic premise.
I have no doubt this will be leveraged by the far-right to sow more discord. They already have a history of raiding subreddits with false flag attacks to get them sanctioned until it escalates into full blown subreddit ban. This is all but formalizing the mechanism.
finder585@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I think the real implication of the system is that Reddit will also start banning you for down-voting posts too.
HawlSera@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Users with banned accounts can still be responded to and they’ll even get emails about it
Gawdsausage@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Finally made the jump. Reddit is a right-wing cesspool of censorship.

Right wing? You must be fucking high
Gawdsausage@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Whatever makes you feel better. The user ase may be left-wing, the admins and mods screw heavily right-wing.
crabigno@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
10 years on reddit, surprised about my comments never getting the same traction as identical comments. 3 days ban for insinuating a billionaire performing a Nazi salute may indeed be a Nazi, second ban for insinuating violent action sometimes needs to be taken in defense of democracy. Permaban for (politely and positively) judging the looks of someone that asked to be judged through a photography, and clearly needed lo lift up their self-esteem.
I rage quit reddit and delete my account that I opened long ago with the Google account I have recently cancelled.
The exact same comments I posted, with the exact same content and intention now get thousands of upvotes (so clearly, I had been shadowbanned for years)
Fuck them. Hello community, looking forward to have constructive interactions here.
pr0sp3kt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
I also was banned because I called nazi to a nazi (he was saying some sht about venezuelan and Colombian people in a south American subreddit, not even a US one)
MellowSunshine@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Grateful to be here and help this place grow. I’m so over Reddit.
Daelsky@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Yeah I got signaled on reddit for saying something about Trump, Elon and Vance regarding to Ukraine. Nothing that hasn’t been said, but I said they can fuck off and stop propping Russian imperialism and kidnapping children while commiting warcrimes. Guess Reddit is against that as they removed my comment and gave me a warning.
you_are_it@lemmy.sdf.org 4 weeks ago
Also biased admins, there are places that are manipulated for disinformation purposes. It is kind of scary, when the sceptical view point gets deleted or thread blocked for no other reason than harming their often made up narrative.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
there are powermods, and some mods have control of 500 subs, i think 92 mods control just 500 of those subs, and some of them might be admins too/ or at least friends with admins.
db2@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Fuck reddit.
muhyb@programming.dev 4 weeks ago
Yeah. Except for some niche subs I haven’t miss it at all. And thanks to Privacy Redirect add-on, I haven’t visited Reddit itself for a long time. Since it still has some useful info that floods the search engines.
db2@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
You can get a copy of reddit data from just before It happened, run your very own searchable database. No need to go there at all.

Seems like lemmyverse needs to advertise on Reddit

They are sending this if you show support for Ukraine.

Yikes. More reasons to stop using Reddit. Слава Украине. (From a Russian-Ukrainian immigrant in Canada 🇨🇦🇺🇦)
WhyFlip@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Why is it scary?
Daelsky@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Being banned/reported for what you upvote/downvote? That smell censorship
jhymesba@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Let’s put it this way. I have been shadow-banned on Reddit. Got an e-mail saying my account appeared to be hacked after I responded to an apparent call for violence with an observation that we’re generally not violent as a group but as time goes by, things might change, and a warning that you have to be careful with what you say because Reddit has a rule against calling for violence. I did the steps to secure my account, but while the message wenty away, I have verified that all my comments disappear into the ether. Sure seems like a ban there.
And now, you can be banned for even LIKING a call for violence? And Reddit’s admins basically black-hole you if you have support questions of any kind. So, you like someone saying, say, “If this crap keeps going on, I might need to do something more than holding a sign, if you know what I mean,” and some Reddit power-tripper with a hardon for Trump clicks the ‘ban ur account’ button, and then you are stuck in read-only mode in reddit.
Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 4 weeks ago
At this point, getting banned at reddit is a badge of honor.
jaemo@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Uh…the “badge of honor” would have been quitting back during api-gate and not looking back. Getting banned now just means one participated after that time, providing spez with traffic and value, and helped normalize the behaviour that is only just now a bridge too far.
Today, a ban is the “conciliatory prize of not thinking ahead”.
Lucky_777@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
3rd party apps closing down I can see from a business point. Makes good business sense. Keep everyone on your shitty app and monetize it. I wasn’t for it but understood the greedy fucks behind it.
Now it’s just different. Banned for going against Nazis, just means they are in bed with Nazis. That’s the last straw.
shaggyb@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Nah, just circumvent with revanced and poison the well.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I’m rocking a chest full of badges then.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
i also give badges to people who can evade it successful with more sophisticated methods, of and advertisers for thier business.
SomethingBlack@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I first saw this news over on Reddit, immediately searched for an alternative. Got home from work and now here I am
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Welcome.
Best advice I can give you is to just give Lemmy some time. It can feel a bit empty at first because there’s less content than Reddit but
-
I’ve been on here 4 months and have already seen a major increase in users.
-
Spend some time seeking out subs and joining. At first I wasn’t finding enough new content to keep me occupied during various downtimes during the day, but now I’ve got more than enough new stuff every day to keep me entertained.
Corngood@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago

VisionScout@lemmy.wtf 4 weeks ago
I register on reddit 17 years ago. Before the great migration from digg. I remember /r/programming being the first sub to reach 100k subscribers.
I got banned for saying in the /r/europe sub that russia banning youtube in russia was a good thing because then we in the west would get less russian propaganda. Got banned for a couple days. Never looked back.
/r/programming is dead already since around a decade. All the good discussions moved to hackernews and lobsters.
PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
never forget that spez admitted to silently edit user comments that criticized him
I guess thousands of redditors saying ‘fuck u/spez’ over and over got to him. I wonder it such comments would fly today.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
one of the things i noticed, banning is a taboo on many reddit sub, you cant discuss bans in any form. although i think they misconstrued your comment.
ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Reddit sets the threshold for violent content really low. At one point someone asked if a prisoner who is medically revived from the dead has served their life sentence, I answered that you have to be irrevocably dead, and admins said that promoted or glorified violence. I made no mention of violence whatsoever, nothing I said encouraged violence in any way, and somehow even on appeal they didn’t realize how ridiculous that was.
halowpeano@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
That’s because no human is actually reviewing anything on Reddit. It’s all keywords and AI, and they didn’t care how often it gets it wrong as long as they don’t get negative coverage in the news.
madsjchic@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago

ShadowWalker@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago

And that’s how I met Lemmy.
infinitymaya@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
It’s horrifying especially to think how Reddit never did anything about the fucked up things incels would say they wanted to do to underage girls and women, or the literally jailbait, racist, insanity they’d share. Basically that stuff was always okay, but if you want to defend yourself against your oppressor? Banned for upvoting despite you didn’t even think the comment was “bannable”.
El_Scapacabra@lemmings.world 4 weeks ago
I got that warning yesterday and it finally pushed me to make a Lemmy account.

Does saying “The only good fascist are really dead fascist” counts? What if I add that USA is a fascist country now? Will saying Donald is a pedophile still counts (I got banned for it already lol)? What about saying my favorite sport is nazi punching? And if I had that there’s no such thing as “roman salute”? Is Reddit about to drop a new t-shirt line “Protect fascist’s feeling” or something?
stardust@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Reddit being the go to place for federal workers to explain what is happening on the fednews sub given reddit shadow banning new accounts and anti VPN stance is rather ironic with federal workers hiding their names and using stuff like signal out of fear of what the administration might do to them.

I just created a Lemmy account because of this stupid policy. Republicans/Conservatives can spew all manner of hate without consequence and we upvote “Elbows Up” (a hockey term BTW) and we get banned? Screw that.

KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn’t see this earier.
Anyways I think this is a dangerous chilling effect and reddit has a terrible track record for not using this as intended, so I can only expect Reddit Admins to use this beyond warning, I expect bans and this used in warrants/NSLs quickly.
Stop using reddit, stop going to reddit.
turnip@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
How about make a flag with ‘is banned’ that indicates it is banned, and then checking whether ‘is banned’ exists before allowing a post to be upvoted. You can use this for free Reddit, its a gift.

but when the corporation is slobbering all over the president’s dick while it feeds his ketamine addiction, how is it different from a part of the government?
drzoidberg@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Going against an agreement you agreed to abide by is not censorship. If you don’t like the agreement, don’t agree to it.
