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.

Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
i came from Y'A answers and various forums, never knew digg existed. it seems alternate account seems to recieve a heavier ban than the main one, and its risky to have an extra account. when one of my main accts were temp ban in oct '23 for criticizing israel, i switched to a backup older account thinking it would be safer with an old account, i managed the whole year(although i think get many warnings an 1 sub ban) only til feb i recieve the full arsenal of bans
Spez is a spineless cuck.
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.
mainly musk was complaining, and he was getting people banned. everytime the gop or musk complained the reddit initiate one of thier famous purges. now they are including vague responses in a ban message so it reduces thier liability, and gives them plausable excuses to ban people.
"Edolf" lol. My pet name for Trump is Liddle Shitler.
I haven't nor plan to... but it's also worst and worst content and behavior so yesterday I request my data take-out.
I'm not sure if I'll just stay logged-out (like right now) or plainly delete my account but either I'm preparing a way out.
Permabanned for reporting posts on r/truerateme
I got banned for saying Andrew Tate fans are fucking retarded.
Genuinely an insult to actual mentally disabled people comparing them to tate groupies.
They hated him because he spoke the truth.
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.
They probably banned you for something that happened at least 24 hours before the ban hit because they're just slow. My account was banned a week after I had replied to a racist troll trying to figure out if they were being racist so that I could ban them on my subreddit, and my comment was flagged as racist. I had already banned the user and hidden the thread, but that wasn't good enough for Reddit and I needed to go.
Welcome, c'mon in outta the cold. There's a warm spot of ere
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.
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.
Congrats. Now you can go to lemmy.ml and get banned for the exact same thing.
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.
No way. I do that all the time, so does most people on Reddit. What is up with peeps on Lemmy always trying to say Reddit is banning shit. I will mention Luigi all the time on Reddit and have never been warned.
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.
the first reason was ridiculous, jyust for asking that question? you know it turning right wing, when you cant even IMPLY things. i used accounts like you did, dint get ban that aggressively, maybe because i was also using multiple locations, confused reddit for a while.
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.
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.
Who knows, maybe some of their mothers were fine women and you got banned for misinformation
Edit: Somehow I added an apostrophe. Looks like the virus is spreading to me
I know from reliable sources that the mothers of said genocidal defense forces indeed goose step and bark at the same time
Maybe Reddit required Trump-approved sources.
They especially hate it when you're correct.
Or constantly criticize Capitalism.
Edolf 🤣 using this from now on
Same loool Let’s make Lemmy grow and leave any centralised social network.
Sounds good to me!
Consider yourself lucky to be off that fascist bootlicking platform
I got banned for repeatly saying ashli babbit deserved a bullet. Got classified as promoting violence
Well, that is pretty direct.
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.
I'm not banned, I deleted everything on there like 3 years ago.
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.
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.
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.
Welp, said Elon needs to be assassinated for involving himself in European politics as a non European plutocrat
