My 10 year account got banned for voicing criticism of the fascist State of Israel
What got you banned?
This is not a banned users refuge.
Same. Got banned for saying “israel” is carrying out Nazi policies. Reddit is a Zionist platform and the “israelis” put a lot of effort into planting mods there to stifle free speech.
Today is my 3 year Lemmyversary, so I’m not exactly a new user. I mostly left Reddit after the API change, but did continue to use it lightly. Got banned about three months ago for commenting on a story about the IDF torturing a one year old baby in order to get information from the boys father. My comment said basically I can kinda see the terrorists’ [against Isreal] point.
Honestly being banned for anti-Israel/anti-Zionism rhetoric is kinda a badge of honor.
Got perma banned for “abuse” of the reporting tool for reporting someone supporting zios. Kept just using reddit with a banned account for years, and somehow after like 3 years it got reinstated somehow? Fast forward a few month I get perma banned again for suggesting to nuke the epstein island instead of orbital striking it like the previous commenter suggested (he did not get banned -o-)
Got banned from a subreddit, didn’t know, commented on a random post on the front page on an alt, got instantly banned permanently across all accounts.
Had a new one on a new phone for a bit, appealing a comment removal got it caught and banned, mightve been logged into my old one in safari at some point. Funny enough, 1 day later they appealed and put back up the removed comment, undoing my ban (that comment was enough to ban me too, it was saying covid shouldve taken out some of the old politiicans so they wouldnt all be senile running for senator) but since I had another ban/strike in place due to them connecting my new account to the old one it’s still permanently banned. They only appealed the new ban which means nothing, just that the comment 5 ppl saw stays up.
If you want to keep your comment because lemmy is awful for niche content like blender, comics, etc. (idk why ppl always say to post here for that, barely anyone comments on my niche interests and you see no one elses post which is the main reason to go there, I dont want to post 99% of the time and likes are meaningless) If you need help/advice lemmy is pretty solid, but for something like talking about episodes for a new show as they come out, it’s not great.
The comment that got me banned from Reddit was that I was “surprised Kanye hadn’t murder suicided Kim or Taylor yet” for inciting violence. I had also gotten bans from upvoting Luigi content. Before that it had been years, it was an 11 year old account, I said that we should use the traditional punishment of hanging for treason on Mitch McConnell, because he’s a traitor.
I’m left, that was good enough. I was a “power user” with hundreds of thousands of karma in comment and post - reddit doesn’t care about content, it’s actively grooming its user base
I didn’t get banned. I left after the API change. I was already reducing use naturally, and what time I did still spend there was mostly to mod a very small niche hobby sub.
Without the mod tools I used before the API changes, plus the influx of MAGA-bots on reddit as a whole, I could longer mod the sub in a way the community asked for and that I was comfortable with. So I resigned, wished the remaining mods well, and went about my way.
There were other subs trying to go dark and impact reddit’s advertising opportunities, and reddit was banning some of the mods doing that sort of thing. I decided even if reddit changed course, I was past the point I could ever come back to it.
There was so many good apps before the Big Ban. Still hurts.
Dito, not banned, but left with the API change as well. Still keep RIF on my phone just so that if anyone sends me a redditink I get a 401:forbidden and have to reevauate if I actually give a shit enough to view it in a browser. The actual app is just as bad as ticktok when it comes to nicking every data point that isnt nailed down.
I had a 16 year old account (from the digg migration) permabanned sitewide by a bot for using the letters “GME” together in a post in r/wallstreetbets. That’s when i found this place.
I left for the blackout.
Not banned, left voluntarily. The experience was so shitty I finally just said fuck it and left
Me in the last few weeks. Its majority bots and fake redditors from India nowadays. Every time theres a discussion that is against the billionaires agenda you can watch them flood in to brigade it. Its just not even worth my time anymore.
I hope Lemmy is taking notes and does something to prevent the same happening here.
Given how spread-out Lemmy is, it’ll be pretty hard to screw it in the same way Reddit got screwed, though. Like, if a given instance doesn’t like you, or you don’t like that given instance, there are plenty of others for you to move to, or you could host your own if you have the hardware and admin skills.
I got perma banned because I said Nazis deserve to die.
I said I wanted to kill Andrew Tate
Nah I was part of the app/api exodus.
I didn’t get banned, I left Reddit voluntarily when they announced that they were going to be increasing censorship on their site a year or so ago.
My reasoning was,
'It's only a matter of time before I *do* get banned for something stupid, so I might as well leave this site on my own while I'm still ahead.'Banned just over a year ago due to rump and anti nazi comments with a few fuck Ford’s in there as well.
