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.

Clearly they’re butthurt that you didn’t fellate Trump or Musk or some other such drain clog.

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.

This is why I tell people to dump pitchers of water on Reddit employees if you meet one at a bar in Frisco. Also rub shit on the HQ front doors handle. Make them extra pissed off.

I was permabanned without explanation and reinstated two weeks later, again without comment.
I believe this tracks with what to expect should we ever see the tech-bro billionaires divide the world into monarchy fiefdoms ocer which rhey are each the unchallenged lord and master.

Feel that pain this year would have been my 10th year on Reddit. I was permanently banned last June for saying I hope the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus. It’s still blows I can’t post or comment on anything. I was part of a close nit group on Reddit involving a car subreddit and now it sucks to see people commenting on where I am and what happened.

Make a new account and tell them.

They track Machine ID and IP. They just auto ban any new accounts.

Oh, you can get banned here. It’s not like this is like a place of free speech. It’s just that the internet is kind of created little pockets of echo chambers. It is what it is. And like it was always going to be like that anyways. I just like it that it’s not monetized by corporations that are bombing the shit out of children.
Allero@lemmy.today 1 hour ago
Only by the admin of your home instance, which is unlikely and normally comes after something very extreme.
Normally, you’ll get banned by the community/certain instance in very gruesome cases, but not your account.
lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 1 hour ago
you can get banned here
It takes special effort here, though.
And like it was always going to be like that anyways.
It’s not inevitable: some places are very laissez-faire.

I mean back when duolingo has discussions or what they called it, you might write nasty stuff. But now, imagine being banned for the wrong translation.
I haven’t used duolingo for a few weeks because my hack to have infinite hearts broke again and I’m too lazy to put in the effort even tho it’s not that difficult actually

Gamified social media with streaks and fomo notifications for daily scrolling or posting or whatever is hilariously bad and transparent.
suite403@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
The streak made me want to not log in days in a row because it highlighted how much time I had wasted on the site.

Wha… do you get some kind of reddit currency if you make a post that breaks 1000 upvotes, with a multiplier based on your log in streak length?
Jesus Christ, these fucking dark pattern, microtransaction shit just needs to be universally banned.
pennomi@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
Yeah honestly a social media streak getting bigger is a sign I should probably take a day off.

I tried to like Reddit but every time I tried posting something I thought was original or thoughtful it would get auto deleted by a bot for not including the right “flair” or some other stupid shit.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Posting in r/showerthoughts was impossible.
Questions about dark matter removed from r/space
Lots more like that.

gerowen@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Oh I did and even contacted moderators a few times to try to have posts reinstated after they were insta-banned by a bot. I just got tired of fighting with it every time I wanted to participate.
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 3 hours ago
I came from TikTok about 2 years ago and after some initial adjustments I found the experience quite liberating in comparison. But yeah there are a lot of rules that you only find out about by getting deleted or downvoted. Lemmy is quite literally the essence of what makes Reddit interesting without the weird bs so this is an overdue transition anyway (although I miss optional user flairs ngl).
ArtificialHoldings@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Lemmy is just small enough at this point where mods don’t have to rely on automated tools and things like required flairs to effectively manage their community. As it develops, things like required flairs, verified submissions, etc will become more normal.
For example, I’m watching Wheel of Time, and /r/WoT requires you to flair every submission with a spoiler level (books only, show and book, show only, etc). Lemmy can’t really sustain good discussion on that yet, but when it does mods will need to start aggressively removing submissions if they’re not properly categorized.

Was that ironic usage of the word or did you just out yourself on your first day?

Needs more context. Calling someone woke because you know it will piss them off I think is fair usage.
Anyone who gets that upset about being called woke probably isn’t that great either.

There will still be an amount of censorship on lemmy, it might just be on the opposite opinion of yours, so you won’t notice it. I’m pretty sure we’re slowly turning into an echo chamber as well

Just for posterity in case this follows us here, there is a genocide going on in Palestine.

I canceled my reddit pro, or reddit+ account, whatever the f*ck it is called, and the ads, the ads… Ads that look like posts, or comments. It’s almost making me 100% Lemmy too.

I kinda miss the ads with comments enabled but not to the point where I’d consider going back 😅
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 hours ago
Lately I’m seeing a lot of this on old accounts
I had a few side accounts from a decade ago that I’d sometimes used to get something from that site but over the past year the all got banned for no reason because I literally didn’t even post with them.
Im guessing that Reddit wants to get rid of those older users that still remember how great it was

SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 16 hours 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” :)
MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 2 hours ago
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 hours 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.
TwinTitans@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Sounds right.
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 hours 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)

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
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 16 hours 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 15 hours 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 16 hours 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.

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.
