Basically declaring that they don't allow free speech.

"Hey, you have been liking things we disagree with and we need an echo chamber here, align with us or fuck off. Sincerely, the money hungry bitches of the internet! Also heil daddy musk!"

I was waiting for Reddit to bend in the same way the others have. It was only a matter of time.

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

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (8 children)

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

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 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

Well, exactly the same can and is happening on specific Lemmy servers too.

One of the vegan instances bans you if you downvote anything that speaks in favour of veganism. Not that I just do this out of spite, but there was this time where a thread about vegan cat food gained traction and I downvoted some comments that were really borderline. Ban within an hour.

Same on that notorious star trek instance. Go ahead and put some downvotes on Discovery related posts, it will also earn you a temporary ban.

So let's not pretend that it's only big bad reddit doing this.

I feel like there's a difference between various moderators power-tripping on their own little fiefdoms, and a site wide policy.

Vegan cat food? What the frak, poor cats.

reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote calls for a violent revolution against the billionaire class and the fascist neo feudalist militarized police state enforced wage slavery and rent till death economics they have created to benefit their endless growth driven profits while ignoring upvotes of content that praise violence against leftists, women and other marginalized leftist aligning groups and ideologies

There, FTFY

Reddit really likes it's exit waves

[–] OneBigSpud@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Finally made the permanent switch over to Lemmy. I left a link in the Reddit Safety post so anyone else could convert easily.

It’s an absurd overreach to say the least; good riddance to the corpo-bot platform.

So, stop upvoting those luigi memes. How sad

[–] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

I once got banned for "vote brigading" on Reddit because I upvoted a crosspost that was deleted later, so this comes as no surprise. They have been monitoring upvotes and downvotes since forever.

Lol, how is it even possible to upvote banned content? I mean, is it not deleted if banned?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Banned after you upvote it

See something that’s pro-Luigi? That’s banned content

Pro-lemmy? That’s banned content

Upvoted a post about hypothetically killing a Republican? That’s banned content

Etc

At this point, getting banned at reddit is a badge of honor.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Uh...the "badge of honor" would have been quitting back during api-gate and not looking back. Getting banned now just means one participated after that time, providing spez with traffic and value, and helped normalize the behaviour that is only just now a bridge too far.

Today, a ban is the "conciliatory prize of not thinking ahead".

If the content is banned how is it being upvoted?
