I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

Thanks! Hope this place is better--tired of astroturfing, bad faith arguments, mods who don't care...

I have to say, that is one hilariously fantastic way to wish ill on a group of people.

Welcome to Lemmy!

Hello, fellow redfugees

Lemmy needs a lot of publicity IMO. Users who are active on Reddit can do their part.

Don't forget to leave a bad review on how bad the app features and performance is.

We should advertise lemmy more often on reddit. Lemmy and mastodon are the mother of all social media and we should all switch to it. Ditch the billionaires owned profit driven social media!

Last summer I got temporary banned for saying it was a shame that the Trump shooter missed. Now I got banned again for just talking about why I got banned the last time. So done with that crap now.

I've seen that sort of shit and have now left Reddit and come over too

[–] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Yep all three of my accounts got banned from Reddit yesterday for no good reason. Everyone should seriously leave that trash heap asap

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Reddit is still on my quick dial, but Lemmy moved to the top spot.

[–] RicoTheBird@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

forgot my old login to here so made a new one, but my reddit got banned for 3 days for "violent threats" after talking about Luigi in r/europe.

reddit chose their side. goodbye reddit and twitter, hello Lemmy and Bluesky.
