Ask Lemmy

I quit cold turkey after the API change. No one forced me to leave.

No, I was targeted. I would say anything eventually and it would trigger a 24 hour ban near immediately. Then I’d appeal, win the appeal, come back to say one thing and BAM suspended within the hour.

I’m pretty sure I was on some list. My comments would get thousands of upvotes. I ran economy for a fucking minute (by way of being the first to respond to propaganda posts). Every time maga would attempt their bullshit I was there in a minute to respond to it. Then these suspensions kept happening, and eventually I started getting suspensions for months old posts immediately after an appeal went through.

I know it sounds crazy but I’m telling you, this was a targeted thing and I’m not the only one.

Someone posted something like Trump should die. Not exactly those words but the gist. I replied no, he should stroke out and live, suffering in a body he can’t control.

Permaband.

Who hasn't been banned from a number of subs on reddit? It's a fascist place.

Not banned. Just productised.

• Can't use the app of my choose. Must use Reddit app.
• Can't have an anonymous account, must be tied to email.
• Can't have a non-age verified account, must have your ID

All whilst selling data to AI training companies.

Fuck off!

Got banned twice recently. First time was for using kirk as a verb and the second time for pointing out the irony of israel working with nazi sympathizers to genocide muslims.

Hi :)

I got banned for visiting my mother. No really. I decided to log on from her house, and the anti-bot bot noticed I was using a different IP address and flagged me for being a bot. Did the little dance to confirm I'm a real person, which resulted in a permanent ban. Thanks Reddit!

For saying that if we wanted to know if Scaphism was real we could test it out on child molesters.

No ban, it just reached a threshold of enshittification where I said "enough is enough" and left.

I got a 7 day ban for criticizing the current administration. Then I responded with go fucj yourself to the mod team and got my ban.

Not sorry.

Reddit admins, go fuck yourselves

Banned? No. Other way around. I banned reddit from my devices after the API fiasco.

I got banned for posting a video published by the Al Qassam Brigades to r/combatfootage

Someone asked if a resuscitated prisoner has finished their life sentence, I said you have to be irrevocably dead, Reddit said that promoted violence.

I made a suicidal joke once and got a 7 day ban and the automod locked on me like the plague.

Got another 7 day ban for quoting Garfield for promoting violence,

got a 7 day ban on a post by rawdawg comics when he said he loved his boyfriend for saying "ha gay" because apparently that promotes hate.

and then the final one was on distressing memes when someone was talking about the funky town video , I was literally giving context to a person that didn't know what the video was, and only my comment got removed .

I was permabanned in Elon's post-inauguration bloodbath, after 12 years, and a million Karma.

I know it sounds like sour grapes, but Reddit had already fallen far, and it's fallen much farther since. I was checking out a thread that came up in a search, and I had to endlessly scroll through puns, novelty accounts, more puns, trolls, tangents, etc. I gave up before ever getting to anything resembling the subject I had searched. Useless.

My 7 year acct is banned over an f-ing movie quote in a sub asking your favorite movie quote? I even cited and referenced to 2 MODs and even their AI said it's a quote. But since the quote "promoted violence" it was removed and now when I post on the acct it's shadow banned.

The quote came from Samuel L Jackson from the beginning of Jackie Brown when he started with "AK-47."

I wasn't banned, but I rolled over after 3rd party apps were taken away on the day they stopped working. I only use the app for it so taking that away made it pretty easy to stop and no i wasnt going to use their own because they forced my hand. Apps were limited on lemmy at that time and had to wait like 4 months before the one i used to use was released, but it was worth it.

Left reddit in the api blockage

Now I spend my days shit chatting with MLs

I just stopped using it. No ban necessary.

I did get one or two temporary bans some years ago. First time was for criticizing their censorship. The second time was for sending the middle finger emoji to Spez.

I'm not going to go out of my way to delete my dead user or posts or anything. It's not my problem. Quite frankly, I just don't give a shit about their site.

Reddit didn't ban me, I banned them.

I got banned for making a comment about some hockey player needed attempted murder charges for using his skate blade to slash a rival players throat during a game. Blood spirting out all over the ice. I was banned for inciting violence. When I asked how what I said was inciting violence they perma banned me. I then came here.

Not banned but forced to use their shit app. They shut down Reddit is Fun, fuck them

Getting banned on reddit was how I first learned about lemmy, but tbh I see the same kind of shit-flinging here, and I go back and forth. There's a kind of smugness here about not being like reddit, but I think it just feels different because people who would be targets on reddit get to be flingers here.

I was sitewide banned for criticizing war thunder owner Gaijin on their own subreddit by saying they are biased to make russian vehicles always perform better than other nations at the same battle rating.

As far as I understood from others it's because subreddit mods have the power to sitewide ban... For some ridiculous reason. And in this case nobody at Reddit gave a damn or dared confront someone as big as Gaijin for someone as little as me.

After Reddit cut off api access to third-party apps, I left. Well, not right away, I did give RedReader a try for a month or so.

Nah I was part of the app/api exodus.

I didn't get banned. I left after the API change. I was already reducing use naturally, and what time I did still spend there was mostly to mod a very small niche hobby sub.

Without the mod tools I used before the API changes, plus the influx of MAGA-bots on reddit as a whole, I could longer mod the sub in a way the community asked for and that I was comfortable with. So I resigned, wished the remaining mods well, and went about my way.

There were other subs trying to go dark and impact reddit's advertising opportunities, and reddit was banning some of the mods doing that sort of thing. I decided even if reddit changed course, I was past the point I could ever come back to it.

This is not a banned users refuge.

Not banned, just bored.

I had a 16 year old account (from the digg migration) permabanned sitewide by a bot for using the letters "GME" together in a post in r/wallstreetbets. That's when i found this place.

I didn't get banned, I left Reddit voluntarily when they announced that they were going to be increasing censorship on their site a year or so ago.

My reasoning was, 'It's only a matter of time before I *do* get banned for something stupid, so I might as well leave this site on my own while I'm still ahead.'
