Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I'd almost guarantee there's more to this story.
Yeah, what was he wearing when he got banned? Was he in a rough part of the subreddit? Was he commenting at night alone?
Dunno why you'd think that when sitewide reddit bans are performed by AI with an absolutely massive error rate.
And if it's a subreddit ban it's absolutely 100% believable because more than half of us have had stupid fucking bans by mods for opposing libs. Even off reddit half of lemmy's lib instances have defederated us entirely purely because libs are so far fucking right they can't cope with hearing anything to their left.
If I remember correctly I got banned from Reddit for "misinformation" or something like that for debunking Adrian Zenz which is something you could literally do yourself right now. Unjustified bans based on vibes and not facts or actual rule-breaking behavior is pretty common on Reddit.
Reddit bans are distributed on a pure vibes basis. Whatever the mod is currently feeling goes. There's no second recourse, because the subs are too flooded the bad actors to sort out the grey cases. Everyone just makes new accounts anyway, so who cares?
When I modded the sub I configured the automod to delete 80% of gucci's (stupidpol founders) posts based on the last digit of the post/comment ID. That was funny

Arbitrary and capricious? Yes. But also funny.
I got banned for disinformation for saying we shouldn't be giving self described neo nazis weapons because after the war they're gonna use those weapons to do nazi shit in a newly destabilized country.
real redditor-adjacent comment there, homie
Well, you're from Lemmy, so you're automatically sus.
I'm sure we'll tease it out of you
tru tru
giving reddit even a little benefit of the doubt is always gonna be incorrect
