I got a warning for upvoting too much violent content. I know it’s bullshit. I contributed regarding economics but nothing violent.
Done with Reddit.
Never got my wrist slapped. But enforcing votes is beyond the pale.
Dipped my toes into lemmy during the last exodus (2023?) but I’m done posting to reddit forever now.
Delete account wipe your posts and replace with links to lemmy stuff
Use the add on Nuke Reddit History. They banned a few of my old accounts after I used it. They hate it.
Not the whole site but I got banned from World News a month or so ago for making a Luigi related Mario Brothers joke.
Such a joke. I am not even remotely a small time Reddit user either, been there for like 15 years and probably have over a million Karma across 3-4 accounts.
Yep, that’s why I’m here now. If I ever use my Reddit account I just refuse to upvote anything at all
deleted by creator
The thought police have been running roughshod over us since the Orange Idiot took over. You know what that means.
Hello folks! Found out I was banned this morning and spent all day trying to figure out an alternative. All for liking a post that said Trump raped a girl. Oh well. He did rape a girl so wtf?
Thats wrongthink. Double plus ungood.
Info: was the article pro or con re: Trump’s child rape? You would likely not have been banned by reddit had it been pro Trump’s child rape.
To me, getting banned from Reddit (without being a dick) it’s a medal of honor. Guess I’ll have to try harder…
Not too hard anymore. Say Luigi or upvote Luigi a day you’re getting the ban hammer.
One Luigi a day, keeps the Spez away.
Done that… https://programming.dev/post/26558225
Permabanned after nearly 12 years. Forgive me for hating Nazi’s. I’d made the statement fuck all Nazi’s but six several times but this time was this time I got automod flagged. They are pretty much flagging the word Nazi regardless of context or overall statements made. The same goes for the word Luigi. Also, Karma is basically useless considering downvoting too much can also lead to a ban. It is pretty ridiculous. I’d never been banned once for any reason except for the last 6 months where I’ve been sub banned or gotten 3-7 day bans several times for making points about the sorry state of affairs in America lately. Forgive me for not bowing to kiss the fascist MAGA ring. Reddit has really put profits over people this time with these stupid rules and no real care in reading appeals or looking at context during moderation. It is all for their bottom line and oligarch investors now.
Interesting. My 10 year old account also got perma banned for telling someone defending the third Nazi salute to “go to hell”.
Apparently I should have told them to “go fuck themselves”. But telling them to “go to hell” was inciting violence or whatever.
I got mine for saying we needed to cyberbully Elon Musk to suicide. A little edgy maybe, but old Reddit wouldn’t have batted an eye.
Yeah, I’ve said fuck all Nazis but six or kill all Nazis but six a hundred times on there, but this time was a bridge too far apparently. I really don’t care if they think it is violent. They’ll get theirs eventually I guess if history is a cyclical as it seems. Just gonna keep on trucking and spreading the word when I can, but it sure as shit ain’t going to be on Reddit. I think I’m getting too old, grizzled, and cynical for any form of social media anymore anyways. It’s all just so… fake. Reddit was the last bastion for me. I probably won’t be that prolific on here, but we’ll see.
What’s with the “but six” part?
Save them for pallbearers.
What put me off Reddit was my perception that most of the very active users are toxic. Some of the users seem to enjoy bashing everything and anything that they slightly disagreed with and it has reached it’s tipping point for me. It seems to me that they are exceptionally lacking in personal development and critical thinking and it ruins what makes the platform great. I’m hoping this platform doesn’t end up like Reddit.
Why was OP banned?
Great introduction to Lemmy, might as well teach people we’re no better than reddit
Fucking disgusting internet janitors
Thats really just .world. Other instances are better imo.
What are better instances? I’m on .world now and so far haven’t had issues, but it’d be good to know better options
I’m on .ee and its pretty nice. They do federate with hexbear and lemmygrad, which could be a problem. lemmy.zip and lemmy.ca are both nice instances as well.
ah can I not log into my .world account on .ee?
You can block instances
Welcome to Lemmy.World lol
It’s why I’m here. 12 year member, nearly a million in karma, perma-banned for repeating a statement I’d made many times in the past with no repercussions. The first time I repeated it after HitlerPig stole the election, I was fully banned.
It’s happening because Ohanion wants to buy TikTok, and he knows HitlerPig will be personally making the decision, based on who smooched his ass the most, and who paid the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he’s volunteering to make Reddit a member of the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
I hope Reddit goes the way of Digg.
Same here,
This is wild. When it happened to me, I thought I had just inadvertently crossed the line (and was surprised it had taken me more than ten years to do so). But now I see it’s a whole thing. I guess Reddit is officially enshittified.
Anyone else see Reddit’s stock tank 20% yesterday?
if it goes below 100 then I’m gonna celebrate
today / last night he confidentley stated that the X cyberattack was “traced” to Ukraine.
he’s just another head of the hydra, the hydra being the transnational crime syndicate that masquerades as the US, Russian, and other governments.
This feels very much like the migration from tiktok to rednote. Hi everyone.
But without the Chinese censorship (as long as you stay away from tankie instances).
I haven’t noticed any censorship yet, but then again, I’m not talking shit about China.
I’ve tested the waters. Lemmy.world likes to delete posts giving one word reasons such as:-
- Civility
- Politeness
- Propo
And I go out of my way not to directly insult anyone.
Good to know! Thanks!
If it’s anything like that, they’ll all head right on back very soon.
I was surprised by the amount of people that went back. Or went back and stayed. Especially considering the welcome message. That shit was insultingly disgusting.
I never used tiktok but went to rednote to see the migration. Stayed on rednote and my algorithm has become three things (1) sexy cosplay girls (2) free Palestine coverage (3) and Chinese food. I’m a simple man I guess.
Mine’s pretty much half cute animals and half politics. 😅
Welcome. And yeah though you might find more communists here than rednote
Tankies are fake commies IMHO
Welcome!
so…trump and musk want russia to take Ukrain and then all of Europe after that i take it.
Whatever Putin wants, Trump wants.
Today i saw a deleted comment in a post titled “trump says he will label violence on tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism” and someone quoted it to express their shock that the comment was deleted. It was “elon and the orange dictator need to be removed from the board” and on top of that people are getting moderated messages warning them that they are liking content related to Luigi mangione. And they are even deleting people’s comments that mention the name luigi mangione.
We are in a full fledged fascist authoritarian police state. The only way to remedy it is a revolution. The system is under complete corporate control and has shown that it will not allow self remediation through its own mechanisms. Like the Princeton study proved the amount of influence one has upon legislated policy is directly correlated with the amount of wealth you have with regular working class people having a statistically irrelevant near zero impact on policy regardless how popular or unpopular the policy may be. This is the reality. There is no way forward that isn’t uncomfortable. And those who believe they are too comfortable to risk what they have need to really examine their reality and see if it truly is comfortable or just a meaningless existence of repetitive wage slavery with basically no autonomy or meaning within such an existence. And at the rate the working class habe lost what little we had that was worth working for in the last 5/6 decades how much more will be lost in the future decades and at that point how can you even believe your children will have any semblance of a life worth working and living for? Something needs to be done now before it is too late which it unfortunately may already be. The internet which was supposed to revolutionize human connection and the spread of ideas and information has been weaponized against us to the benefit of the ruling class and something needs to be done to counteract this. The fact that it was easier for people to mobilize and effect change before the magic glowing screens disseminating propaganda becoming so widely available says all we need to know. There is still hope but thst possibility is dwindling faster by the day. But those saying that the answer is to get out and vote and advocating for ballot box socialism/ ballot box progress are deuded and misinformed.
Reddit full bore banned me for saying “I should have a legal right to punch nazis” and declined my appeal.
Reddit is unironically nazi aligned and that’s not a joke it’s terrifying.
Reddit is aligned with the corporate overlords of the US, which are nazi aligned.
I haven’t been full banned yet but have grown tired of the amazing levels of stupidity. I caught a temp ban for incivility for writing “Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment.”
Not very civil of you dear…
Tbh you can catch bans for that here but beauty of fediverse is that power tripping mods have limited ability to ban you fedi wide so freedom enjoyer’s just go do their discourse on other sub’s and servers
I find that answer amazing and I will adopt it from now on to all the orange guy followers, cheers
Go forth with my blessings.
To be fair, that’s kinda deserved. You could experience the same here.
There are plenty of other reasons to hate on Reddit, but acting in a fairly civil manner should be expected.
Glad to have you here though! 😊
Banning people who aren’t “safe spacey enough” is fucking stupid.
People can be abrasive. People can be mean. People will absolutely take your shit if you let them.
Hiding from them in a bubble doesn’t make them disappear (and shockingly sometimes they have points to make).
Hmm…
So your argument is that we potentially lose valuable insight?
I agree in principle, but it is hard to balance.
Because without a certain amount of civility we potentially lose the voice of minorities and oppressed groups of people.
In a free democratic country you of course should be legally allowed to be abrasive and say mean hurtful things.
How would you balance/solve this dilemma on a social network? The same way as the law?
I am a bit torn here
But… but… Won’t someone think of the poor innocent nazis???
(I got a warning for pretty much the same reason and decided not to hang around until I got a full ban.)
Most people agree punching nazis is fine, very few people agree on who is and isn’t a nazi.
It is precisely because useful clueless idiots are constantly being classified as nazis that no one is taking accusations of actual nazis seriously. Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.
Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.
I’ve been hearing this for years, and yet, literal neo-nazis are running the us government now. But go ahead and keep using the anti-woke rhetoric lol.
Exactly! Literal nazis in government, calling them out does nothing! Very few people are taking it seriously.
what a cop out. there’s no functional difference between an idiot that works to advance nazi ideologies and the same but they have a swastika tattoo on their neck. to resist fascism means to confront ALL fascists. it’s not about disagreement or people you dont like, most people are using ur-fascism as their default definition and umberto eco has a fucking 14 point checklist we’re using. to act like it’s so arbitrary is completely out of touch.
Useful idiots are working against their own interests, while hard, it is possible to reason with them. A self-conscious nazi is a nazi through and through.
Nazis thrive on diluting language—twisting words like “freedom” and “patriotism” to serve their agenda. Ironically, the same thing happens when “Nazi” gets thrown around carelessly. Mislabeling people weakens the term, but so does refusing to acknowledge real extremists. Precision matters—both in calling out threats and in resisting linguistic manipulation.
