Just signed up here. I had my account flagged for upvoting on Reddit. Needless to say I was POed but so far I'm liking it here

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yup. I got banned from a sub for using the verb "to Luigi" (someone)
now reddit is telling people to investigate the people upvoting and people who got "luigied" by the filters, as if mods are going to spend energy investigating every single instance.

Which sub?
Meanwhile conspiracy and conservative subreddits still exist...
Yeah, banning the word "Luigi" is pretty rich coming from a former mod of /r/jailbait
The mod probably put in the ban because Luigi Mangione is 26 years old now. Nothing to do with the trial or anything else really.
Reddit is also banning and warning people for UPVOTING "violent" comments (or what they now consider violent and somehow right wing subs don't get the same censorship applied; or we'd see them bitch about it). It's now a dystopia.

I got banned for talking about Luigi too much.
Made my first Lemmy account after this bullshit! Took a split second to figure out, but Lemmy seems super rad so far!

I hope the next guy who Luigi's a CEO legally changes his/her name to John Smith or Jane Johnson or something extremely common.

Free Luigi. Free Palestine.
Everyone just refer to his brother Mario
What about Luigi, the 1959 Fiat 500 from the movie Cars? Reddit is fucked up.
I literally just deleted my reddit account. I will still go to reddit, but I will do so without logging in. Fuck them.

This happened to me for posting "Italian Plumbers Unite!" I got a PERMANENT BAN! I appealed and they denied it.
What are they afraid of?
Advertisers, stock prices, inverstors and other stuff like that. As in "losing money".
Just commenting to say I deleted Reddit yesterday in favor of Lemmy! Happy to be here 🥰 #freeluigi

Doesn’t matter the mod nazis band me for ever and ever. Fuck that place.
Quite literally signed up for lemmy just now cause of this. So many of the sites that helped make the internet boring are committing self harm, twitter, fb, and now reddit - the old "decentralization" arguments were kind of boring to me but now I ache for the old internet and gosh darn it if the billionaires are making the best case against themselves.

Still got my Reddit acct but yeah. I set up a Lemmy acct when I saw this. For insurance when the rest of Reddit fully enshitifies.
When you're ready to burn down your reddit account, use a tool to update all your comments and posts to refer to Luigi
Yep this is why I'm here 🤭
