Reddit

I was permanently banned for “inciting violence” by saying how great it would be if a meteor crashed down on Mike Johnson. A meteor….

I got banned for calling a guy a "fascist sanewasher" and refusing to post an apology when a mod messaged me to tell me to apologize.

First permaban was for asking: "Any updates on Mitch McConnell? I could use some good news." Mod appeal denied

Then on another account a year later (bc I got so many death threats from Nazis on Reddit), I forgot I had a ban on that sub and said, "We should spend money feeding our kids instead of spending it to blow up someone else's kids." And that was an IP ban.

Crazy, I've seen literal Nazis on there not even get comments removed. We live in dark times.

I got banned for saying Andrew Tate fans are fucking retarded.

Yeah I got banned for 7 days then used my alt account and got hit with a perma ban. I got banned last summer and have not really regretted it. I was part of the Digg migration so I had been there a long time. I was pissed at first then I realized it really means nothing in the end.

It's funny how we used to have this trope of the mighty censorship bureau that has to rubberstamp everything (like they do for movies) but the reality is that the sycophants will trip over themselves to censor their neighbors in order to please those above. In Reddits case you have subreddit mods banning and censoring to please the reddit mods, who are trying to please reddit management, who are trying to please people like Musk, who are trying to please Trump. Trump doesn't have to say anything, those low level Mods are doing all the censoring for him pro bono.

Holy crap that is EXACTLY what happened to me this week. I wasn’t top contributor or anything so grand but I got a 7 ban after criticizing imperialism which after making an appeal that was rejected. I literally did nothing afterwards but woke up to a perma ban that was issued several hours after with no indication of why.

Same, happened to me hours ago, with no message stating why, or no recourse.

Elon whined to Spez to do something about Redditors being mean to him.

I guess it worked. Fuck both of them.

Spez is a spineless cuck.

I got banned about a year ago for... checks notes repeatedly calling a genocidal army "bastards" =,D

Edit... ok maybe I called them sons of bitches and nazis.

Congrats. Now you can go to lemmy.ml and get banned for the exact same thing.

Welcome, c'mon in outta the cold. There's a warm spot of ere

I get banned from reddit all the time for saying things against Israel.

Just clear browser cache and poweroff your cable modem for 15 min, should get ya new IP.
Don't use reddit mobile app, app will track unique device identifier and new account will still be banned.

Firefox+ ublock on desktop and mobile is your friend.

source: reddit permabanned many times

Likewise.

My first offense was recommending that we bring back the guillotine.

My second offense was saying that MTG and fElon needed to get punched in the face after they said that Sesame Street was woke trash that needed to be canceled.

Fuck those vile pieces of shit!

Over 13 years and a quarter million karma later, it has come down to this.

I got my 10+ year old account permabanned for saying “trans women are women”, which somehow went against their rules about promoting violence. No warning given or anything. Appeal went ignored.

I was already iffy about Reddit since the r/place #fuckspez whitewashing. I was never suspended - but when I learned Luigi was suddenly an "unperson" topic there, I realized that commercialized social media is inherently compromised.

I'm not swearing off FB/Insta entirely just yet, but every time I visit them I'm more and more vividly aware how tedious Meta channels are.

Consider yourself lucky to be off that fascist bootlicking platform

Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.

Welp, said Elon needs to be assassinated for involving himself in European politics as a non European plutocrat

Same loool Let’s make Lemmy grow and leave any centralised social network.

My 11 year old account got banned and I'm not even sure why. I posed a lot over the years. They said I was banned, pointed to a deleted comment. When I asked what the comment said they replied the reviewed the ban and now I'm banned.

I believe it was for a comment about how America would be in trouble if they invaded Canada (I'm Canadian). I stated some basic facts that Canadians look like Americans and they will attack America on American soil. It was matter of fact, not promoting any sort of violence.

Whatever. America is dying. I suppose services hosted on American soil die right along with it. We're actively avoiding as many US products and services as possible, so Reddit can kick rocks.

I discovered Lemmy, it suits my needs and I like it better.

My leaving was originally from the api cost changes, I had payed for a 3rd party reader years ago and all of a sudden my lifetime of no ads was gone and I had to pay. This change was admittedly after reddit decided to follow twitters api cost changes. I am supprised at how close Elon and spez seem to be, given that I don't know of any photos of the two of them, they they probably only know each other as CEO's.

There is these blanket responses that goes like this: "Free speech is only that the government can't punish you" and "It's a private company it can moderate how it wants". I take a lot of issue issue with it. In our times the wast majority of speech takes place on online on privately owned plattforms. I don't se what the point is in freely submitting to a world where only corporate approved speech is allowed.

Closed account myself because got tired asking to remove shadow ban for two months. I have no clue why I got shadow banned, only realized when I stopped getting replies that something is not right. Oh well, I guess it's more useful to bookmark useful reddit links in any browser instead of being able to post and comment on a platform where nobody can even see your efforts because of shitty AI and incompetent admins. I was with them for over six years.

Perma-banned for fighting back against the fascist take over of Reddit

Got banned for antisemitism around the time the genocide ramped up in Gaza.

And I was just criticising Israel. Things got a bit heated for the other guy apparently, and then I got brigaded and reported. I didn't defend Hamas or advocate violence, just criticised Israel.

Edolf 🤣 using this from now on

I cant even tell you what I got banned for because they banned me without saying why. I dont even know the last thing I was talking about was finding anime in the style of berserk.

I got shadowbannned after posting about politics.

I never called for or celebrated violence, didn't upvote pictures of Luigi (which they have a STRANGE hard-on for) or any of that. I just posted neutrally-worded opinions.

Shadowbanning is an abusive behavior and Reddit has been about that for well over a decade. On Twitter, you do something they don't like, they just tell you, "you have to delete this tweet and wait 12 hours" or whatever. On Reddit, your account just gets "weird" with strange error messages. You have to go digging for information on the phenomenon because they don't display a message or send an email about it.

The cute little aliens are there to paper over the fact that Reddit's leadership has no concept of user advocacy. You're just rows in a few tables to them. You're the product that's being sold, and as far as they're concerned that gives you the same rights as any other product on a shelf.

They are still sending me emails with cute little aliens in them, even though my account is hosed. This is how disjointed they are.

Someone else wrote that on Reddit, the users and admins hate each other. I think that's true.

I got banned for repeatly saying ashli babbit deserved a bullet. Got classified as promoting violence

I got permabanned for criticizing Israel. The final comment that got me permabanned was literally 'No, just the problems they deserve blame for' to a zionist who accused all Lebanese of blaming all their problems on Israel.
