I’m not a huge fan of big social media, but if there is one thing I trust even less, it’s a banned person’s account of why they were banned.

[-] gullible@kbin.social 22 points 8 months ago

I once won a million Robux from my dad, but when I tried to collect them while unrelatedly hiding under a blanket, he got mad and banned me from Roblox, his credit card, and later from talking to that helpful woman at his bank. Some bans are entirely unfair.

[-] PatFussy@lemm.ee 15 points 8 months ago

Wow so unfair. You found that credit card in his wallet while he was sleeping fair and square.

Thank goodness. Make sure to uninstall the app as well so it doesn't do any more spying on you.

[-] avater@lemmy.world 32 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Good for you, right ? I mean no TikTok sounds awesome to me. Now get rid of Twitter, Instagram and the other stupid social media stuff and you're pretty much living the dream!

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

It would have had to been WAY more than Israel/Palestinian issues. Ive seen absolute shit tons of content condemning Israel and supporting Palestine and vice versa. with no filtering of content.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

I’m guessing there was content calling for mass murder of one side or the other

There's Hebrew text in the first image that's about a POV of some sort.

Is the third video a literal Hamas video?

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 17 points 8 months ago

OP post the perfectly innocent vids that got you unjustly banned

[-] skymtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 8 months ago

Yeah, all centeralized social media is sus, I feel like fediverse is the only valid way forward.

[-] HKayn@dormi.zone 14 points 8 months ago

You people don't even know what the videos were. Why are you immediately drawing conclusions?

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

These are your fellow fediverse users. Videos could be filled with pure hate, but that doesn't matter.

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world -3 points 8 months ago

Because censorship is bad, that's why we're all here

[-] Tnaeriv@sopuli.xyz 6 points 8 months ago

Moderation is not censorship. For all we know those videos could show beheadings or call for genocide. TikTok has every right to remove that. Moreover, I think it's their obligation to remove it.

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Fuck off and don’t speak for everyone. I’m here because Reddit destroyed third party APIs. I don’t give a fuck about your made up censorship temper tantrum.

Just try not being a bigot and magically, you won’t get your accounts banned and won’t be CeNsOrEd.

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

How am I making stuff up or being a bigot? I literally got suspended from Reddit for criticizing Israel killing 10,000 civilians.

[-] HKayn@dormi.zone 0 points 8 months ago

If I remove a comment that tells someone to kill themselves, am I committing censorship?

[-] ___@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

It will be as long as it stays open and pure. If enough people come here, it will start drawing attention.

After that it’s possible they’ll flood it with ads and branding in whatever loophole backdoor way they can concoct.

[-] tony@lemmy.hoyle.me.uk 1 points 8 months ago

Ad floods happen semi regularly.. they get banned fairly quickly though.

[-] t4k3@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

How about decentralization?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

You're participating in it right now

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Honestly I'm happy that I deleted my Reddit accounts, now all I have to do is stop using YouTube

[-] sv1sjp@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I had a SecurityAwarenesse tiktok account and they just banned me for sharing "illegal content". My videos had more than 50.000 viewers...

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 8 months ago

Isn't TikTok run by a Chinese company? I wasn't aware they had a dog in this race, I'm surprised they care.

I'd actually consider it more likely that people would be banned for talking about Ukraine. China has invested interest through Russia in that war.

[-] BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tf 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Actually, part of the deal that allowed TikTok to stay in the US required their US branch to have some US leadership. The leadership that was picked was mostly former intelligence agency people.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Lmao you can post about that in a million ways and with quite a few of them being ban worthy

[-] nix@merv.news 3 points 8 months ago

I doubt thats the only video. My entire feed is 80% videos about israel committing war crimes, history of palestine, how israel is funded by the US for its interests in the middle east and to build a canal to no longer rely on egypt

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

This will do nothing to stop the idiots who will complain about this from using it. Need proof?

Just look at what YouTube is doing.

YouTube didn't
