    Reddit is going crazy with the bans. A perma ban can result from something as simple as saying something like “I hope the consequences of not vaccinating are more deeply suffered by anti-vaxxers than by people who are not vaxxed from an allergy or something”. After all, that constitutes “hoping for violence/death”.

      I wonder if it’s because Reddit is now a prime resource for AI scraping, and they don’t want it to repeat that anti-vaxxers should suffer more to their cooker clientele 🤔

        This is why you use AI to destroy AI.

        After I was perma-banned, I used a bot to re-open my past posts and replace my original content with AI generated garbage.

        Salt the fields upon which AI grows.

      I don’t know, lemmy’s equivalent of mods aren’t constantly taking Temu Hitlers cock out of their mouths to shut down any post that suggests that Nazis lives don’t matter, or the masked thugs tackling women holding children maybe aren’t entitled to keep all their blood in their bodies.

      Reddit is on a mission to shut down any talk of violence or harm unless it’s from a right wing source, then it’s a-ok.

      Except the “I think you should leave” subreddit mods - while every other sub was aggressively rolling out the “dead Nazi collaborator feelings protection squad”, that sub’s mods were dunking on a dead Nazi collaborator like they all should have been.

      Yep my current account exists because when I got here, I said something that hurt a mod’s feelings, and so they decided to ban me across multiple communities. In the mod log, they even say “I need to cool down now” so it’s obvious it was an emotionally driven decision, but there was no reversing it.

      So I couldn’t post in LGBTQ, 196, and several others.

      Don’t hurt mod’s feelings.

      not OP but for me, I was banned from /r/pics for criticizing Teslas or something. But the criticism was in a Tesla sub, so there was some cross cub BS happening there. And my criticism was factually correct. “They dont test their cars in rain or snow.”

      so im ok with that, and avoided posting or anything in /pics since its all BS and muted on my main account.

      however, I swapped to an alt for some maintanence/engagement. and There was a post that came up i thought was from /oldschool cool, and made some comment about it (nothing related to tesla), just supporting the image… turns out it was from /pics, and I got hit with ban evasion. and account loss.

      So stupid, that reddit pushed subs that you are banned from, if you dont activly mute them.

      so with that, reddit removed a 200k karma account over 15 years old. I moderated and contributed to some subs about a rare dissease, since that was my technical expertice in the real world, so its a loss to that community.

      overall that community can rot, under bot led admins

        Reddit is a shit corporation; the mods are arguably more shitty. They resort to shitty technology and IP bans to avoid having to pay for more admins.

        It was news to me when just a few days after my account got banned, everyone living in my apartment’s Reddit accounts also got banned for “ban evasion”.

        Sorry about your community. Maybe you can try recreating it here, although with less engagement

    The irony. You’re posting on a comm in the most ban-happy instance with an account registered on the other most ban-happy instance.

    Welcome in! Enjoy your stay.

    All I’ll say is that Lemmy is smaller than Reddit, so naturally a lot of convos default to politics and tech.

    Because of that though, you’ll be exposed to potentially new ideas regarding both. So be open minded! But also know that you can block users, communities, and instances if you find them unbearable.

    Cheers

    As am I. Apparently the Zionists subreddit mods don’t like it when you compare Israeli propaganda to Nazi propaganda.

    Someone wished Trump would die of disease (and didn’t get banned), I wish him a long life and lots of suffering from disease so reddit banned me for advocating for violence (they’d been targeting me)

    Reddit is nearly 100% AI bots these days on the popular subs. You’re good to get away. The interface over here is shite and takes forever to figure out, but the people are nice.

        Depends on your instance and the community you’re posting in.

        For example, on lemmy.world a user might get warned or banned for openly celebrating the shooting of Brian Thompson. (I forget exactly where they draw the line, but it’s an “advocating violence” thing)

        Or here, a user on lemmy.ml might get banned for bigoted statements, even normal things that plenty of people don’t even notice are bigoted because it’s “common sense” in their own country.

        But you’ve got to be pretty damn intolerable to get banned from more than a few instances. Like, actual Nazism.
