Yeah I got signaled on reddit for saying something about Trump, Elon and Vance regarding to Ukraine. Nothing that hasn't been said, but I said they can fuck off and stop propping Russian imperialism and kidnapping children while commiting warcrimes. Guess Reddit is against that as they removed my comment and gave me a warning.

First the removesort by controversial, and then you can't even see controversial posts. Soon there will be no conflicting opinions, just a hive mind echo chamber.

[–] gutsnsuch@lemm.ee 2 points 12 minutes ago

Oh no! Anyways…

[–] berno@lemmy.world 3 points 26 minutes ago

I'm glad that I don't use Reddit and have no intention on doing so. I remember there was a very talented artist who was wrongfully accused of using AI and banned on the art subreddit. That artist got banned even though receipts were shown to the mods proving the art was not AI, and I guess with this policy, I'd be at risk of being banned from Reddit altogether because I for sure would've upvoted the art if I did have a Reddit account, it was amazing.

Perma banned because I wished c-ncer on a pro-Israel troll. Is that an earned ban you guys think?

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 22 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I got banned when I saw someone say trans kids should be hunted in schools, and I told them I wish they'd get hit with a brick.

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

I got banned for making fun of Kemi Badenoch when she said autistic people are privileged. I said maybe she's jealous that there are people that know more about trains than her. That was apparently enough to warrant a permanent ban.

[–] Jaybird@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Thats be wise you where too much of a pacifist in your response.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 18 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Hell, I said all Nazis can go die or kill themselves. Perm banned. Reason why I'm here. Fuck that place.

[–] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 2 points 39 minutes ago

Yup. I said things about Elon and Trump and how they are nazis supporting nazis like Putin commiting war crimes and I got a warning. Reddit can get lost.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

Samesies. All I said was Nazis should get punched. This is a much better place all around, so fuck spez

[–] Teknikal@eviltoast.org 3 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I had an old account banned site wide for asking why there was an obvious gay guy on love island. Wasn't even a malicious post I was genuinely curious how he faked his way on there.

Recently I got a temp ban for mentioning chatgpt on the books sub, someone was asking about a large selection of books and which were worth reading. I told him to get chatgpt to sort the list out by most popular. Apparantly even mentioning an llm exists there is a ban.

Kinda get the second one as authors all think chatgpt stealing from them or something but yeah I was talking about sorting a large list

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Jesus… ITT I learned mods on Reddit are fucking snowflakes.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 0 points 16 minutes ago (1 children)

Why the hell would you go on a book community, open a discussion post that is clearly asking for personal opinions and go "I dunno lol go ask chatgpt". I would've banned you too tbqh.

[–] Teknikal@eviltoast.org 2 points 13 minutes ago* (last edited 2 minutes ago)

Well how else are you going to sort a list of about 30 books to decide which are worth time or not. The guy had bought an anthology of every Alien/Aliens novel and was complaining a lot of the books in it were really bad and wanted help knowing which ones are actually worth reading.

I just reply to things that show up my feed honestly and pretty randomly in fact that's why I've posted here as well.

Not gonna lose a lot of sleep over a hateful asshole getting banned from a website.

All hateful assholes believe their brand of hate is justified, just as you do.

[–] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 3 points 25 minutes ago

Zionists deserve all the vitriol they get.

I got shadowbanned after finally actively posting... On r/BuyFromEU... idk man

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Shadowbanning in Europe is very hard to pull off without crossing DSA and GDPR rules, which require transparency and informing of the user. Specifically DSA Article 17.

Here's a Dutch case regarding it: https://dsa-observatory.eu/2024/08/06/the-dsas-first-shadow-banning-case/

I'm posting this because if you are European, you should be informed of any shadowban, which makes it a normal ban by definition. If you had to investigate and found out you are shadowbanned, your rights have been violated. I think the best way to get something going is by using a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body, although there's probably a lot of other ways. And if you don't want to return to Reddit anymore, it might be fun to throw some legal shit at their shit platform on your way out.

Does that mean spez is getting banned for being a mod on r/jailbait?

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (3 children)

Does saying "The only good fascist are very dead fascist" counts? What if I add that USA is a fascist country now? Will saying Donald is a pedophile still counts (I got banned for it already lol)? What about saying my favorite sport is nazi punching? And if I add that there's no such thing as "roman salute"?

Is Reddit about to drop a new t-shirt line "Protect fascist's feeling" or something?

[–] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I said we used to have a method of dealing with traitors. Got banned for it.

Fucking done with reddits shit.

[–] underfreyja@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Same, in January, I said something to the line of traitors used to be publicly hanged, now they're elected and got banned for it. That was the last straw, came here right away and was happy to find the place striving compared to last time I tried it.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

You mean if someone said something like, "Trump and Epstein raping a 13-year-old is a matter of court record."?
