Ask Lemmy

Arrived here in the process of USA boycott.

Me, I'm getting constantly banned from r/Europe by this moronic mods.

Banned by writing about that Germany never paid anything to Poland for holocaust of Polish citizens

I'm reading worldnews rules on Lemmy. There should be lax rules, no ban whatsoever - only for pedophilia and obvious crime like drugs, terrorism, videos of murders

A lot.

Me, arbitrary ass ban while using an alt trying to gain karma on the front page so I could post with it, my first comment insta banned all accounts permanently because I guess I was banned from that sub on my main/og account.

✋

I was done with redit toxicity.

I prefer this. Beehaw is my favorite. They're so nice over there. 💛🐝

First I was temporarily banned. Then, permanently banned. They would not even display the comments in question which led to my exile. Toxic power tripping MF’s all up in it over there.

I see a lot more banned users and deleted comments on lemmy than I did on reddit.

raises hand

I got banned from reddit and then i got banned here

I kind of stopped actively using Reddit in 2020, but without engaging actively in an alternative. Then the API debacle happened, so I registered a kbin account, when that died down (RIP Ernest) I moved here.

Making a conscious decision to leave social media that’s controlled by big companies that only exist to milk people for money. I’m tired of things being great until they’re not. Reddit is a cash cow for user data and it’s so full of bots and disinformation campaigns now.

I immediately noticed people are nicer here. I think a lot of it is that these are real people and not bots who are programmed to be argumentative.

I was permanently banned on Reddit June 2024 because I said I hoped the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus.

A lot, the question is when.
The first wave has been getting banned since the US regime took control over it in the person of Jessica Ashoosh (2016).
And a whole lot more since the genocide in Palestine.
The slightest criticism was enough.

So I have my doubts on the large group of libs that only got banned since Trump.
They didn't care about anything but themselves and only what their government now does to them.
They are perfectly fine going back to a nice 'democratic' fascist-lite regime that only terrorises other countries while they live in their bubble.

I came here after deciding to quit reddit. I'm Canadian. I had no problems with reddit other than Trump's threats to annex (invade) Canada. I'm also joining my national brothers and sisters in the tariff boycotts.

Yeah, got a few temp bans for talking about shitler/muskrat and they perma-banned my account for "harassment". The post they linked me to didn't even link to a comment; it wasn't something I remember posting on.

I was getting tired of the culture over there anyway. I was also tired of arguing with conservatives who think their shit doesn't stink and regurgitate Fox News talking points about the "illegals" and ICE.
