My 10 year account got banned for voicing criticism of the fascist State of Israel
What got you banned?
I got a 7 day ban for criticizing the current administration. Then I responded with go fucj yourself to the mod team and got my ban.
Not sorry.
Reddit admins, go fuck yourselves
No ban, it just reached a threshold of enshittification where I said “enough is enough” and left.
I made a suicidal joke once and got a 7 day ban and the automod locked on me like the plague.
Got another 7 day ban for quoting Garfield for promoting violence,
got a 7 day ban on a post by rawdawg comics when he said he loved his boyfriend for saying “ha gay” because apparently that promotes hate.
and then the final one was on distressing memes when someone was talking about the funky town video , I was literally giving context to a person that didn’t know what the video was, and only my comment got removed .
i hate the"out of context response to jokes memes" i was responding to a joke/meme on a card game sub, and it got removed immediately
I was permabanned in Elon’s post-inauguration bloodbath, after 12 years, and a million Karma.
I know it sounds like sour grapes, but Reddit had already fallen far, and it’s fallen much farther since. I was checking out a thread that came up in a search, and I had to endlessly scroll through puns, novelty accounts, more puns, trolls, tangents, etc. I gave up before ever getting to anything resembling the subject I had searched. Useless.
Someone asked if a resuscitated prisoner has finished their life sentence, I said you have to be irrevocably dead, Reddit said that promoted violence.
Banned? No. Other way around. I banned reddit from my devices after the API fiasco.
there is a way, but its much more convoluted. different IP/device and browser is the usual method, as long as you are not repeating the same exact pattern as before. but why spend that money anyways, the only people that do are the ones using reddit to drive traffic to thier own sites/OF agency, of whom reddit is constantly playing cat and mouse in detecting them. i also have supsicion reddit preferentially dont ban aggresively against propaganda bots as much as the ones i mentioned above.
My 7 year acct is banned over an f-ing movie quote in a sub asking your favorite movie quote? I even cited and referenced to 2 MODs and even their AI said it’s a quote. But since the quote “promoted violence” it was removed and now when I post on the acct it’s shadow banned.
The quote came from Samuel L Jackson from the beginning of Jackie Brown when he started with “AK-47.”
I just stopped using it. No ban necessary.
I did get one or two temporary bans some years ago. First time was for criticizing their censorship. The second time was for sending the middle finger emoji to Spez.
I’m not going to go out of my way to delete my dead user or posts or anything. It’s not my problem. Quite frankly, I just don’t give a shit about their site.
I enjoyed some few-days bans for saying that USA is not a greay country to live in. And a bit longer bans for saying Israel is doing warcrimes. But never permanent. Curiosity brought me to lemmy but this platform feels tad empty
i did recieve a temp ban at the beginning of the israeli/gaza conflict, but i avoided the sub like a plague up until the election season(before and after the election). its only starting last year reddit introduced things like V3 captcha from google(basically background bot detection which forces v2 captcha), and the most siginifcant using thier AI to indiscriminately ban people and seek previous accounts, even if a sub ban time has been lifted, so they were retroactive in thier bans too. at some point they switch to mostly shadowbanning because they were severely reducing the userbase and making the bot numbers too obivous.
I definitely miss the niche hobby/interest-specific subs here
Left reddit in the api blockage
Now I spend my days shit chatting with MLs
I got banned for making a comment about some hockey player needed attempted murder charges for using his skate blade to slash a rival players throat during a game. Blood spirting out all over the ice. I was banned for inciting violence. When I asked how what I said was inciting violence they perma banned me. I then came here.
Not banned but forced to use their shit app. They shut down Reddit is Fun, fuck them
Same here, I still have RIF installed too just so I can look at the icon and be sad.
I was sitewide banned for criticizing war thunder owner Gaijin on their own subreddit by saying they are biased to make russian vehicles always perform better than other nations at the same battle rating.
As far as I understood from others it’s because subreddit mods have the power to sitewide ban… For some ridiculous reason. And in this case nobody at Reddit gave a damn or dared confront someone as big as Gaijin for someone as little as me.
Edit: at least I think that’s why. Reddit bans are ambiguous as fuck. I remember trying to figure out why exactly but the message was similar to “banned because you broke tos” or some bullshit like that, with no link to an actual comment.
Reddit does seem to give subreddit mods a good deal of credit in their flags of users.
But a lot of it is dishonest, if you get traction criticizing a powerful group, they will find an unrelated reason to ban you. Because we have no rights to fair enforcement of the rules, they don’t have to bother to make their accusations believable.
Israel is the main one I’m familiar with that they do this for, but all sorts of other stuff too.
Oh yea. If you as much as bring up the word goy you get shadowbanned immediatelly afaik.
This is not a banned users refuge.
Getting banned on reddit was how I first learned about lemmy, but tbh I see the same kind of shit-flinging here, and I go back and forth. There’s a kind of smugness here about not being like reddit, but I think it just feels different because people who would be targets on reddit get to be flingers here.
Funny enough I have never been banned on reddit, but I have been banned on .ml memes for stating that not everybody in the military is a fascist pig and some people only join because it’s one of the easiest ways to get family healthcare with no deductible in the USA. (Literally why my father joined) But obviously since I’m not actively sucking CCP knob the mod banned me, rule 1 as is the way with the shit mods here. No forums immune from it! Overall I would say I’m much happier on Lemmy because of the more genuine seeming human interaction, which I think is a result of being a smaller community and maybe having less bot traffic and astro turfing.
I think the interaction is a LOT better here - for one thing the community is so much smaller you get tons more replies here, which is more engaging and feels more being seen and heard. I still feel a strong one-answer-is-correct atmosphere, like you mention on .ml memes. But I guess that just means some subjects simply aren’t discussable objectively, because that involves questioning your own ideas, which is seen as enemy infiltration. I’m slowly learning to avoid the echo chambers, but far from successful yet lol. Overall I heart Lemmy.
I feel you there, I actually love Lemmy BECAUSE I loved reddit. Sure it’s a shit show now, but to me Lemmy feels the way reddit did like pre 2015 where communities were smaller, not as many people had heard of it etc. Around 2016 it all started going downhill fast, I’m forever thankful to spez for fucking with the api stuff as that drove me out and found Lemmy (well I found kbin first, but through kbin found Lemmy) which feels a lot like reddit of days gone by. In the end Aaron Swartz is who I think made the reddit I love, and after his passing in 13 things started sliding in the wrong direction.
