Many many years and ass loads of karma…
But apparently LIKING posts can get you banned now. What a shit show.
Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time.

It’s all a ploy to control what we think.

Lemmy. The support group for burned reddit veterans.
We were there. We put in thousands of hours of work. Years of moderating. Free work. Content creators. People who commented. Voted. All that karma …
All gone cause you upvoted an anti trump or musk post. Or maybe you upvoted a photo of a tessler burning.
Maybe you didn’t think Luigi should get the death penalty.
Don’t worry brother. Upvote what you want. Be free with the rest of us.

I wonder if the reason is because 50501 started on Reddit and they are determined to not let it happen again.

Hello everyone. You’re not alone. I got banned like for 4-5 times, using local Ukrainian words that may look like slurs, but they aren’t.
I got unbanned, but I am still too scared to write anything about politics on Reddit. I want a working account there for IT questions.
astro_plane@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Make another account then. I have a shit posting account for ming comments I know will be dicey. Reddit mods are fat slobs don’t let them stop you from living your dreams.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
they will detect your alternate account through fingerprinting you
it’s where I am currently, unable to use any of my 100% wholesome and positively contributing accounts because I shared the opinion of “Oh no, anyways” on a burning Tesla dealership post, got banned from world news with no explanation, asked for elaboration and did not receive it, and then continued to post in that sub with another account.
did I ban evade? yes. did I first attempt to find out why I was banned? yes. was I ignored and thus continued to participate with other accounts, being careful to say nothing even close to provocative with those accounts? yes.
didn’t matter. they identified it as the same account, they banned it.
DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Reddit mods are fat slobs who can be easily duped, but Reddit algorithims will autoban you for making new accounts.
I’m basically exiled from it until I decide to get a new device and sign in on a new network other than my home or my work.
Monstrosity@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
My solution is to browse subreddits without signing in so whenever I go to up vote or down vote anything I can’t and think, “oh right,” then go back to Lemmy (which is quickly becoming a higher quality experience anyways).
gameplayer55055@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Luckily, I’ve never had issues with reddit mods, but I received a f*ck ton of global bans on r/reddit_ukr (getting carpet bombed by russian bots and the half of the comments are [deleted])
It’s the time to discover the fediverse ig. Btw any ideas where I can dump a ton of random IT memes?
muusemuuse@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
they keep banning any other accounts I made there over being linked with the first one. I have tried unique email addresses and everything but they still figure it out within 24 hours, even when I 'm not allowed to post anything. So I just dont use reddit at all anymore.
SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
What did you do?
SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Not op but I got perma banned for fighting with people who were defending massive pedophile Dr disrespect. They were arguing that “it was legal that means it’s okay”. I pointed out that the US is fucked and certain states have consent laws at 16. Legally he could fuck a 16 year old. However that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a pedophile scumbag regardless of legality.
I was then banned for “child sexual content” :)
TwinTitans@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Sounds right.
fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
Reddit has gotten so pathetic. Sad to see it fall so hard. If it was like this in 2012 I would have never signed up
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I pointed out that the US is fucked and certain states have consent laws at 16
Yeah, that’s actually the average age worldwide
Not defending Dr Diddles, mind you, but the US is actually better than a lot of places thanks to having parts where it’s 17 or 18 (and… Worse, depending on where you look)

I tend to think that 16yo is fine so idc, they do their things
However I still think Disrespect is a moron (for other reasons)
Going to get downvoted but I’m making my part by de-echo chamberifying lemmy
RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
I got banned for commenting on a video of something like “guy loses it in van and runs down protestors” my comment was pointing out that they were running into the way of an already (slow) moving van and then leaping dramatically to the ground. It was like a grade school production of a Chinese insurance scam en masse.
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Well the sentence that initially got me a three day ban was “Hitler did nothing wrong” which I’m aware doesn’t look good on paper but it was a quote and not my own words. According to Reddit the decision was automated so I appealed what I thought was an honest mistake and that’s when they probably saw my recent posts promoting Lemmy and talking about Palestine and decided to ban me permanently. That or they didn’t like that I filed an appeal. I haven’t used Reddit nearly as much since getting on Lemmy anyway so this is more funny than annoying but still a weird way to go.
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Having gone cold turkey and just left, it’s weird no matter how you leave. Realizing how addicted I was, was kind of hard for my psyche.
sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Not OP but I got banned on reddit atleast 4 times. Zero bans on Lemmy though.
All for supposed harassment usually after having a disagreement in certain subreddits. Honestly could be anything their report system seems easy to abuse
Now, I don’t tend to have those on Lemmy nearly as much, but when the pedophile I was disagreeing with reported me here the mods were chill to hear my side after issuing me a warning.
For both the more chill atmosphere and the better mods I like more here.
Madison420@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Very sub and subject dependent honestly.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Same, plus they said I was report abusing.

Zero bans on Lemmy though.
Check dubvee. You might be surprised.
postalstiffler@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Reddit simply doesn’t want an active user base. They want passive viewers ingesting AI generated content.

they have been culling via shadowbanning for a month now, much more aggressively like with the ban purgews.

If you ever wonder why nobody calls it terrorism when America does it, it is because people are not allowed to do so.

So is Lemmy the dumping ground for people getting banned on reddit now?
sugarfoot00@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Absolutely. I lost my 15 year account for using the phrase ‘burn it all down’ entirely metaphorically. They really, really didn’t like Canadians pushing back. Fuck those guys.
I hope Reddit dies in a fire, and not a metaphorical one. One with the ownership group literally aflame. And I’d like to roast marshmallows over that fire.
Tiger666@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I got banned from tik tok for saying that on day two of a US invasion into Canada, I would burn down their orange house. Of course, I was replying to an American saying we would be soft and easy to take over.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Less dumping ground and more release valve. The people Reddit is jettisoning are many of their more active and prodigious content creators and contributors. The site admins simply don’t want new human content anymore. They want passive observers who will consume advertisement content without creating drama.
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What they’ll end up with is bots watching Russian trolls.
WhiteBurrito@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Honestly that’s how I got here lol.
Tried it out when the API changes were announced, but let’s be real, Lemmy doesn’t have as much content or user interaction.
It’s allowed me to stop doom scrolling as much, but I do miss some niche communities
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You get used to it. Been here happily for coming on two years. Honestly, less content means I can’t scroll 24/7 which has turned into a positive for me.
Fewer niche communities definitely sucks though. Time to start one I guess? :P
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes it’s how I got here, and hopefully Lemmy doesn’t turn to shit the way reddit did because of its decentralized nature I hope
FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
It’s the next best thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
nectar45@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago

nagaram@startrek.website 2 weeks ago
Odd since it’s arguably just as easy to make a new reddit account
tomi000@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That would assume you dont have a grudge against the site for banning you.
pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
But why would I want to make a new account on Reddit after getting banned for saying things that people need to hear?
If Reddit wants some passive bullshit audience that can’t talk back, and that swallows bullshit posting, I’m good elsewhere.
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
I think it’s more like getting used to the freedoms of Lemmy increases the likelihood of popping up on the radar of some dubious Reddit admins.

My reddit account got a strike by an admin for describing the risks involved in traveling to the USA currently (abduction, torture for an undetermined amount of time). The appeal I made to that was accepted but it left a sour taste in my mouth.
Klowner@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve had my reddit account for 17 years and I received my first warning for inciting violence because I commented “this makes me want to make a whip and go to town on these people” (a reference to Jesus running out the money changers in the temple) on a video of a megachurch service showing a woman painting trump bowing to a cross.

Siresly@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
My account was permanently banned for saying I hope Nazi scum Elon Musk dies soon. Had previously caught temporary bans for saying things like “We should overthrow Musk into the sea.” in response to him having argued King Charles should overthrow the UK government. Reddit admins really don’t seem to like it when you’re righteously intolerant of evil scumfuck psychopaths who use their unearned power and influence to cause immeasurable harm to society, the world and its inhabitants. Things like that break Rule 1, threatening violence, they claim.
Although the permanent ban was only for a couple of days since I for once was successful in my appeal. I basically said death =/= violence. An obvious truth to anyone, except some Reddit admins apparently.
I’ve not really used Reddit since. Kind of lost my will to bother with a US based site that’s clearly and predictably going in a US direction, i.e. spiraling down the fascist sewage. Instead I’ve been drifting over to here. Will see what the moderation over here is like.

turnip@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
You still get banned here too. The mods can disagree politically and just ban you as they can on reddit.
