I got permanently banned for wishing violence upon neo-nazis.

I once created a LPT post about how rotating different shampoos can help prevent your body from developing tolerance (this is still a great LPT by the way; if you have dandruff or some other bodily condition like dry skin and your shampoo or lotion loses efficacy over time, try buying a few different types and rotating your usage so you don’t develop tolerance). Aaaanyway, my post got deleted for being “medical advice.” Reddit kids are the worst.

Fuck Reddit.

I got banned once for saying that a drug cartel head honcho deserved the death penalty (or something like that, I don't recall the details). This was after a story where a bunch of people in Mexico or some South American country were found murdered in some gruesome ways and the head honcho was caught but then escaped. You can't escape if you're dead.

So someone on Reddit was offended because I said that a drug cartel kingpin who had dozens (or maybe hundreds) of murders under his belt should be removed from the gene pool. And then to make things worse, some moron Reddit agreed eith them.

Fuck Reddit.

I read about a similar situation recently ... a thread where people were joking around about NSFW stuff and someone commented "that guy must be hung" (as in "big member") and got suspended for hate speech / inciting violence because the mod apparently thought they meant "go hang that guy" (as in execute).

So yes, context matters greatly, especially when dealing with snarky comments and reactions to shitposts, where people usually aren't as serious.

Huh my dog just alerted like he heard something.

That's not a Reddit thing, you'll find Lemmy mods here who would ban you for less. And probably elsewhere too.

I find the topic itself dumb honestly, so garbage in, garbage out. If anything, if I were a mod I'd remove the OP, unless the sub is for stupid topic, in which case they can't complain about stupid answers. Again, not Reddit specific.

Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars

The best I can do is aboot three fiddy.

User makes worst joke ever, asked to leave reddit.

Honestly that's pretty bad compared to some of the times I got banned over the years. I got banned once for pointing out that a post about not wanting to talk to men about feminism was toxic and detrimental to spreading understanding of ideas. The mods of some of the subs will just ban you for saying something is illogical.

The "would you" was lame. The joke was pedestrian.

It's all extremely underwhelming. 0/5 all around.

I got perma banned on my original account for telling someone to "crawl back in their hole"

Apparently that's "telling someone to kill themselves"

At least that's what the power tripping mod told me.

I uninstalled Reddit

What?

Consider deleting your account fully

I used to mod some big subs and saw one of the dumbest ways the admins banned someone.

So one of the mods I knew posted a video of a picture containing a microwave with Alvin & The Chipmunks photoshopped in. The video had audio of a microwave turned on with high pitched screaming too.

That 14 second video he posted on a sub he modded got the admins to permanently ban him across Reddit and then refuses to ever reply to him when he asked why. It was perfectly acceptable for that subreddit too.

Hell I even started a conversation with some admins for some other issues and asked them about it. They ignored that question completely lol.

I don't regret leaving that site. I do regret modding big subs tho lmao.

I got perma-banned for pointing out that if we wanted to find out if ancient execution methods worked there were plenty of child molesters around.

Literally the next day their was a huge thread at the top of the technology subreddit saying all kinds of shit like that about printer company executives. I appealed asking what the difference was and all I got back was a canned response. I checked a few days later and all the comments on that thread were still there.

The only conclusion I can make from this is that Reddit wants to be a safe space for child molesters specifically which seems pretty sus to me.

Reddit mods are paid not in money, but in the smallest amount of power you can imagine. That dynamic most often attracts stupid people who are willing to work for free and want to abuse that power.

Weird, I always got permabanned for similar jokes.

They really started cracking down on dark humor right around the time they first told 3P developers just how hard they were fucking them over. My guess is that it's part of the overall enshittification plan - sterilization of all posts in preparation for the IPO.

Ironically, my appeal to my last permaban went through during the blackout in June. I got an email about it, but I never bothered to log back in.

I wonder if the post was actually a dog whistle for other people that sympathize with Nazis. Sus af

Probably looking too much into it.

i got banned from a sports team subreddit for being upset about the team. that's how sports works
