I left when they killed Apollo and third party apps altogether. The only way I viewed Reddit was through that app, so Reddit was dead to me at that point. I used a tool that edited all of my old comments, deleted my 10-year-old+ account and left forever.
I got banned for telling conservatives to go fuck themselves too intensely.
For posting a video that I didn't post.
Permanently Banned for inciting violence.
I said the Trump government was going to put LGBT people in camps and this was a bad thing.
I got banned from /r/WorldNews and /r/ukpolitics for saying that "from the river to the sea" isn't antisemitic. It was in the early days post Oct 7th when reddit was virulently pro-Israel; I don't think they'd do the same nowadays.
I didn't leave immediately but thinking about it again really pissed me off as I'd been a regular commenter without much issue for years. It genuinely left me feeling quite depressed thinking about how little I mattered to them. When you get banned there's always some shit about how you should ask if you don't understand the ban, but one sub never replied, the other went further and told me to stop messaging their mods (I did so once a week when I wasn't receiving replies, to not spam them) so that was meaningless.
The irony is that here I'm usually getting downvoted for being insufficiently anti-Israel.
Multiple reasons really, one of which was telling a guy who wanted to put low IQ people in concentration camps "you first".
I got banned from a subreddit because the mod had this "not with us, you are against us"argument. It was years ago, but IIRC I was posting against a comment calling for assaulting men to balance out the abuse of women.
To be honest, I think I may have seen more banning on Lemmy though. I've noticed a few cases where the admins have banned people with objectionable opinions. In all fairness, these were the type people you would avoid at parties, but it does give me pause. In reddit if you get banned from a particular subreddit you still keep your identity and participate in other subreddits. In Lemmy, you are at the mercy of your server, and if a large server bans you, it would essentially remove you from all of their communities that otherwise might accept you. I worry that this is creating an echo chamber.
R/interestingasfuck mod power tripped and banned me for "ban evasion" (I only had one account) then later I remade my account with a different username because the old one was cringe and accidentally left a comment there from r/all
instantly banned sitewide permanently and the appeal got denied.
just moved over to Lemmy. Fun fact, around now 1 year ago is when I moved (though I changed accounts since then) so around now is my cake day :)
Similar to CommieKender, it left my phone when RiF died. I have it on my desktop but I never comment ot post, and obviously I and all my coworkers browse at work during desk rotations.
For this photo:
how do I report this
Warned after upvoting "violent" comments apparently. What they were? I haven't a clue.
I honestly don't know. It was a relatively clean account. Then my friend, who is a redditor by heart, got banned. It looks like he was banned just because he was associated with me. And now, if we make new accounts, they get instantly deleted. I don't care because I moved to Lemmy a "long" time ago. But my friend is heartbroken.
My only site ban (which I got overturned eventually) was from commenting in agreement with a post of a woman wearing a shirt that said "Punch a Nazi." It was shortly after that, that I came here and haven't looked at Reddit since.
I drifted away when they banned Opie and Anthony and cumtown subs.
My lil shitposter heart died a bit but it was for the best. 196 and Lemmy shitpost have their moments
Said some Taliban in a video deserved death. About that dispassionately too.
My account got suspended and I had no posts on the account. Stuff like this is why I use alternative sites instead of big tech sites.
Every time I think it was a long vague stretch to fit whatever rule they told me I broke.
