I can’t believe they banned me for what they banned me for too. After 16 years on the platform. Fuck em
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
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
I got a temp ban from reddit. Not cool enough, apparently.
mfw people think lemmy is a free safe space until they discover the biggest instance admins are mostly intolerant, impulsive manchilds UwU
I write some bad word about Andrew tate House and get all my accounts band in one day . Fuck Reddit
You might wanna try out the sorting "scaled" when browsing "all" to find new communities (or check out every c/newcommunity that interests you)
But warning: scaled in all can have a lot of porn if you have nsfw on
You can also just use an instance that defederates from porn, so NSFW can just be for shocking or otherwise violent things.
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
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!
Lost track of my reddit bans. Really lost track of my subreddit bans. I really stacked them up late 2023.
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.
I got a 6 day ban for calling out people acting like Nazis so...
You have to post anything a fascist would hate. Fascists love undesirables killing themselves.
My bans came from me saying that Israel is committing genocide and that Netenyahu needs to be tried and hanged for his crimes.
I got banned in a subreddit because I said FB dude got a penis transplant from a rat
Welcome to the family! There are literally 10s of us!
Fuck reddit. Zionist fascsist infested shithole
Me too. I commented on a post about a shooting and sarcastically asked how folks were going to blame it on trans people this time. Permabanned!
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.
Welcome brother! Or sister... Or non-binary memelord... Uwu....
The censorship has gone mad on Reddit. I was a user there before the whole Digg migration, and it's been such a wonderful ride. It had to end at some point, though.
I'm just at a point where it's genuinely impossible to have a conversation there without having your comments removed, the thread locked, or downvoted to oblivion for not joining in to whatever the masses are yapping about.
Less of a town square and more of a mob of idiots surrounded by bots.
What was the reason though? Personally I never used Reddit. So I don't know about them
It's not really that much better here. People jumping the gun constantly.
Depends on the instance really.
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’ve been banned from a community on here before because I’m sure someone misread my comment.
My comment was clearly aligned with everyone else on the post, but I still got banned and mods did not respond to my messages about getting unbanned.
This place:
"I hate you and your dumb. Yay, my opinion is finally seen!"
