Reddit is a full blown Nazi sympathizing shithole at this point. Good riddance.

Reddit really testing the limits of Dead Internet Theory

[–] SpookyLights@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

Everyone is a bot except for you

Reddit is going crazy with the bans. A perma ban can result from something as simple as saying something like "I hope the consequences of not vaccinating are more deeply suffered by anti-vaxxers than by people who are not vaxxed from an allergy or something". After all, that constitutes "hoping for violence/death".

[–] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if it's because Reddit is now a prime resource for AI scraping, and they don't want it to repeat that anti-vaxxers should suffer more to their cooker clientele 🤔

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

This is why you use AI to destroy AI.

After I was perma-banned, I used a bot to re-open my past posts and replace my original content with AI generated garbage.

Salt the fields upon which AI grows.

I was banned for showing "extreme indifference" about Kissinger taking a dirt nap.

The "one thing" he said:

Edit: Kinda funny how He's flipping the bird backwards here though.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yeah I did, I said nazi's can go fuck themselves. That got me a warning. Then I said anti-vaxxers are idiots and that forced vaccinations might be a good idea. When I said that they said I was promoting violence and that got me banned. Seriously, fuck Reddit.

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

I posted a gif of Luigi from Luigi’s Mansion and got a warning for promoting violence or whatever. So I just deleted my account and migrated.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I see r/unvaccinated has gotten its filthy infested little fingers into Spez's brain.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I helpfully added to the end of a comment, "If you see a Nazi, punch a Nazi", as a play on "If you see something, say something." That got me a one-week suspension. A couple of weeks later, I posted a link to a site that explains how many of the top corporations are owned and controlled, through stocks, by a small group of the same billionaires--they all sit on each other's boards and block outsiders from being elected. That got me a permanent suspension. I haven't been back.

This was on my account that is eight years old, and had over a million comment karma, and about 40,000 post karma. Fuck 'em.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's some real bullshit. Bruh, I had an 11 year old account. I'm perma banned now. According to them I was inciting violence.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Apparently some guy decided to report me for posting C.P (there wasn't a single person pic in my profile even) and reddit gave me the ban

and when I asked for the appeal they didn't even check it

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Bud, if you think Reddit is banning nazis....

I got banned for telling a legit Nazi to fuck himself up the ass with a cactus, no lube.

Banned for threatening violence and hate speech apparently.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah, my initial main account ban was because I said "if you try to have a monkey as a pet, you deserve to be bitten by it" on a video of a guy who had a monkey ripping shit up in his apartment and that bites him on the hand at one point.

That apparently counts as inciting violence rather than y'know implying that people shouldn't own fucking monkeys which I felt was pretty clear given the context.

Evidently my angry sounding unban request was not well received.

[–] reddifuge@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hahaha, sorry for laughing but reddit ia such a joke.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah it’s ridiculous.

[–] 123qas@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Same, I was banned for a BS reason. It seems like they are basically looking any for reason to ban leftists at this point, it doesnt even have to be justified

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago

Welcome in! Enjoy your stay.

All I'll say is that Lemmy is smaller than Reddit, so naturally a lot of convos default to politics and tech.

Because of that though, you'll be exposed to potentially new ideas regarding both. So be open minded! But also know that you can block users, communities, and instances if you find them unbearable.

Cheers

Fuck reddit. Zionist fascsist infested shithole

[–] justsquigglez@leminal.space 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Maybe it's just me, but no matter what the ban was for (I'm very aware Reddit is going ban-crazy and has just been shit in general,) I feel it's a bad omen that one community (connected communities, fediverse, what have you) is being largely inhabited by people banned from other communities.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 days ago (5 children)

reddit bans people for saying things like "isreal shouldn't be genociding the gazans"

That's what got me banned.

I don't disagree, but it depends on the reason. Getting banned for calling out Zionism, or for being a leftist in general? Great! Come to Lemmy!

Yeah, of course... spez hates discussion of supposedly committing violence by anyone from center to left.

It does not help that they're using AI-assisted profiling, information used by both mods and site admins to determine the number of strikes to ban users.

I can’t believe they banned me for what they banned me for too. After 16 years on the platform. Fuck em

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

And in the end it wasn't even really anything I said as much as the autoflag got my ass for posting on a temp account in a sub that banned my main account. Caught a perma ban for all my accounts with that shit.

All because I originally said I hoped Elon overd*sed. (don't wanna be banned from here too so censor it is.) They're especially sensitive to that one in the Vancouver subreddit I guess for obvious reasons if you know about Vancouver.

[–] SunSunFuego@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

the neat thing about lemmy is: i can freely say elon musk is a pedophile protector and ketamine addicted loner. i hope he overdoses and his death will be celebrated

[–] drath@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (7 children)

How do you guys even get banned? I'm straight up posting AI-generated suicide instructions nowadays, and I get more engagement and less shadow removals than I had before.

[–] Samuelwankenobi@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I got a 6 day ban for calling out people acting like Nazis so...

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

You have to post anything a fascist would hate. Fascists love undesirables killing themselves.

I was banned for a while, saying that NATO countries should declare war on Russia and kill Putin. That was a political news Reddit, and the topic was about Russia's Shadow Fleets and sabotage operations. War, the consideration and advocation, is an inherently political thing.

Reddit would say that Churchill wanting to fight Nazi Germany is advocating for violence. While technically true, it misses the fact that sometimes words cannot broker peace nor civility.

[–] pirate2377@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

You don't even need to say something, just become a "security risk" to them by using uBlock Origin to block their trackers. In other words, how I personally got banned. Anyway, welcome to Lemmy!

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I have so many bans on Reddit.

I was banned from r/soapmaking for saying that people who buy soap made by other people, melt it, add perfume and trinkets, and pour it into moulds aren't making soap, they're doing arts and crafts. I raise the pigs, render the fat to make lard, and do the chemistry to turn it into soap. I make soap.

I was banned from r/canada for wondering if Danielle Smith was going to pay the lunatic street preecher charged with violating Covid restrictions a conjugal visit, after she made a fawning phone call to him while he was on trial, when he was convicted and sentenced to jail.

I was banned from r/Conservative for pointing out that the headlines that said that the DOJ had found massive voter fraud in Georgia was actually written by a Trump political appointee and contradicted the DOJ, the Republican Attorney General of the United States, the Republican Attorney General of Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State of Georgia, and Republican election officials from Georgia.

I was banned from the Freedom Convoy sub for asking which constitutional rights had been taken away since the protesters had exercised their Section 2 rights to assemble, their Section 6 rights to cross interprovincial borders freely and that they were free to leave Canada if they could find any country that would take them and free to return if they quarantined, and that since none of them were vaccinated they had obviously exercised their Section 8 right not to receive the vaccine.

Never, ever speak truth into an echo bunker.

I got banned in a subreddit because I said FB dude got a penis transplant from a rat

[–] dx1@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

Lost track of my reddit bans. Really lost track of my subreddit bans. I really stacked them up late 2023.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Welcome to the family! There are literally 10s of us!

My bans came from me saying that Israel is committing genocide and that Netenyahu needs to be tried and hanged for his crimes.

[–] Stomata@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

What was the reason though? Personally I never used Reddit. So I don't know about them
