[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago (6 children) why a ban? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 point 7 hours ago* (1 child) Lemmy.world, that's why. He can post on other instances like Lemmy.today but it doesn't get the same amount of viewers. When the largest instance is ban happy (I guess Americans?), it's going to be controlling the entire Lemmy network. This sort of thing is not even banned on reddit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago* Looked through this sub-Lemmy's front page. #Unban_sanitation permalink fedilink source parent [–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 3 points 12 hours ago (3 children) Mod log just says "Ban evasion, repeated violations of ToS" across a few dozen coms. I guess mods got sick of them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] 13igtyme@startrek.website 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children) I've noticed lately a lot of mods are banning people posting a lot. Which is really fucking stupid because they are removing the people creating interaction. Even if they are just copy and pasting from reddit. A) who cares, b) many people here aren't on reddit, and c) the mods are going to kill their own communities if they keep this up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 hours ago* (1 child) There was recently a discussion about this from someone who crossposts stuff from reddit to lemmy and got banned for it. Opinions vary but it's mostly anti reddit. Can't find it now though. Myself I'm not sure. Importing trends and "reinforcement learning" or manufacturing cons(t)ent from reddit is problematic. But it's not like most lemmies aren't already trained like good little dogs to be neoliberal imperialists. I mostly see the same shite trending on lemmy as on reddit. It definitely is hilarious that the top post on lemmy currently has double banned tags lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 point 3 hours ago* I dont know about hilarious. The largest lemmy instance banning users for posting content they dont like from reddit? Thats more than just stupid. Its a message what Lemmy is becoming. When Reddit is more free than Lemmy, we have sad days ahead on this social network. permalink fedilink source parent
