Got banned for saying the government manipulates people. And that democracy isn't the best because it can be led by marketing and manipulation.

It's happening! Dystopia!

Also this is a permanent ban. It just logged me out and I can't sign in.

They proved my point.

Clearly the author has NEVER been a part of any Reddit community.

Admins said it was promoting hate against a vulnerable minority. I don't care about the account, but that part made me furious. Why kowtow to russia?

I had previous temp bans for saying things like what should happen to nazis (they called it promoting violence 🙄) and other times calling out russian trolls.

That site has really gone to shit since their acquisition. They let trolls run free, and ban people for calling them out.

Reddit privacy moderators recently censored this content over a day after it was posted. IMO the reason is suspicious.

Accessible at Reddit or Reveddit

(There are no subreddit rules banning "political propaganda" or "character assassination." Nor does this comment appear to rise to either of those accusations: other non-removed comments back up the removed one.)

It's much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.

For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz, !biology@mander.xyzand !astronomy@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo there's always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz

You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or for more general Linux !linux@programming.dev and we even have a Linux meme comm at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world (we like Linux around here lmao)

For news !world@lemmy.world is excellent and for US focused news !news@lemmy.world and !usa@midwest.social

Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what's known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won't be "synced" and you won't see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"

Obligatory, fuck Spez

I don't read r/conservative much but what I've seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it's not about left and right but right and wrong.

Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.

I have a 3 day ban over on Reddit for saying (n word, then homophobic f word). I wasn't implying anyone was inferior. Reddit lacks a rule expressly saying I can't use slurs in any context, although they have racism and homophobia banned. Was I being racist and homophobic just by mentioning the word?

Here is the context: I said on /r/monkeyspaw: "Granted. Your username is now "/u/nf." uncensored. In response to

"I wish I was able to change my username on reddit."

Honestly most of the people who are banned are for silly reasons. At best, they can extend it to a few months but a site wide ip ban forever? Isn't that a stretch?

I'll tell you why I got banned - I have two accounts and I got banned from one subreddit for making a meta comment. I switched to my other account and commented unknowingly that it's not allowed. My comment didn't include any abuse, being mean, bullying or harassment. Next, a satire post was made on a sub and I gave a satirical reply (again no abuse etc) and it even receive 800+ up votes but guess what? I'm banned for identity related hate? It was a temp ban and I waited for it to get over. What I didn't realize was that sub 1 banned me permanently in this duration and I happened to comment there - again a harmless comment like "xyz walked out" and lo and behold i have a permanent ban now.

I feel the mods on reddit are on a power trip and are really going to be the reason for its doom.

Reddit banned me for seemingly no reason. Twice. I'm sticking to Lemmy. I don't know how the moderators at reddit even function. The entire process is beyond shady. Not only do they not tell you why you were banned but they literally don't even tell you that you are banned. They let you just browse thinking everything is fine until you realize that every single post you make gets automatically deleted That your PFP suddenly disappears. that your achievements don't seem to work Then if you try to type in your account into a browser you're not logged in at, only then will you see that you're banned. Then if you can figure out how to get to the appeals page, which for some reason two of exists, even though they are identical, Reddit not only doesn't ever bother responding at all, but they don't even acknowledge that they received the appeal. Not even an automated message. Nothing. I don't know any other social media site that does this its just wild to me. Anyway, I'm here to rant about it because I can't rant on Reddit.🤣 hope you guys enjoyed the rant

They'll nuke you from orbit if they even get one fingerprint from a browser with a previously banned account - but if you're an LLM bot or Nazi (or both)? You're good.

Near the bottom. Currently still has mod status

Yeah, I still use Reddit alongside the fediverse for certain community types and topics where the Fediverse lacks. I'm not one to usually share this type of thing, as it can come across as whiny - but this one to me is absurd.

So I recently made a post here regarding a conclusion I had made concerning the hive and what they would do if asked. I made the thread specifically as a response to those across the website who claim that what a specific character within the show is doing is acceptable because the hive consents to him doing it. If you go and read the topic, you can see what my argument was by the replies.

At no point was I intimating that the hypothetical was a good thing, and even expressedly said it would be awful multiple times (that would be awful was the specific point of my post) - but by the show's logic, it would happen. It was meant as a challenge to those who defend this character and how they rationalise and justify his conduct.

Someone reported the post and it got removed. I have appealed this and it was upheld. Here's the message from Reddit.

So I am very much not happy about being smeared as a predator by Reddits reporting system.

This astroturfing issue on Reddit is still relevant in 2025!

Just an observation but I feel within the past year, that sub is dominated by links from the daily beast.

I know Reddit is kinda trash at this point but I still occasionally browse but I absolutely cannot stand that rag of a media website. Their headlines are attention grabbing clickbait IMO.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed. I haven’t crunched any numbers or anything because I don’t really even give that much of a crap.
