Honestly, I’d be interested to hear about your adventures.

I’ve actually never been banned on Reddit for anything, anywhere. I’ve always been careful of where I went and what I interacted with there. I only just recently deleted my Reddit account, because I stopped using it long before I got myself setup on Lemmy. I’ve been on a roll of abandoning the “big” platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X) and replacing them with decentralized services. Reddit is just my most recent example.
Remember when Elon Musk had that black eye and said his son punched him? I said “can’t blame him”. Which is, of course, glorifying violence.
Linked that Bill Hicks standup routine where he encourages marketers to kill themselves. Must have hit too close to home for some loser admin who nuked my account for inciting violence.
I belive they called it “advocating violence”
Lol I recently had a comment removed from the bogleheads subreddit because some guy was talking about buying a bit more of their usual index fund purchases if the market were to dump 20% in a day. Someone asked how they’d do it and I said “probably just shift a bit from emergency fund and build it back over the next month or two.”
Cue the True Bogleheads ripping me for suggesting “timing the market.” I said “this is, of course, fine.” And they went nuclear. That comment got removed and I replied to the mod with “You got your head pretty far up your bogle there, bud.” That got me a 3 day full reddit ban. Worth it.
For the uninitiated, bogleheads are basically just adherents to a popular passive investing philosophy. I agree completely with it, but it was hilarious to me how dogmatic - borderline religious - they were about “timing the market” with zero nuance or recognition that it’s just not that serious.
I got banned from a bunch of subreddits by making one comment in Asmingold…and it was a comment against. Then got sent this pm saying if you delete your comment and apologize we will reconsider you. I told em to fuck off I’ll speak how I like. Censorship is censorship. Wasn’t long before I deleted all my posts and comments on by one manually and killed off my 14 year old account.
I posted a picture of the non existent genitals of a Ken doll with the caption, “Elon’s Penis,” In political humor.
For posting a video that I didn’t post.
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.
Yeah… We’re waaaaaay better over here on Lemmy…
Better. Not way better.
There’s a certain degree of toxicity and messiness that simply comes with interacting with the general public. I’m not sure how one can build a system open to people, yet simultaneously not open to flawed people.
I dunno, if this meme (all be it humorously) is accusing the Reddit user base of having a thoughtpolice that does insinuate quite a large sense of superiority which is just absolute pack mentality. Lemmy is almost exactly and fundamentally synonymous to Reddit, hence a lot of people moved over to Lemmy after the end of third party app support.
So the only real argument one could make in pointing out the positive difference between the two. Is that the users of Lemmy may have a bigger hatred towards capitalism or think user support is more important than habitual comforts.
Lemmy hasn’t yet calcified from corporate takeover, this makes it similar to younger reddit, and I argue better.
I just nuked my account and fecked off to Lemmy after the API kill.
I just… left.
They didn’t ban me; I banned them…
I didn’t. I left when they killed RiF
Amen
They killed Apollo in cold blood!
Same, sad they killed rif but at least it pushed me to lemmy
I got banned for “attempting to circumvent a ban” despite not being banned at the time.
Wait, can you tell more?
No. I don’t know anything else. I tried to appeal the ban but never heard anything else. Fuck 'em
By the way, my 3rd account was banned because I asked why my post was banned.
Maybe you had the same username as someone who got banned?
Aren’t usernames unique on reddit?
That’s part of the joke. The other part is that it happens in real life that people are denied passage into a country because someone else with the name is on a terrorist list. I read about it in the great book “One day, everyone will have always been against this”.
I didn’t expect anyone the get the whole joke but I make it anyway. This is the internet.
Don’t know. Don’t care. Reddit is a hot pile of garbage.
