We've all been there. I was banned because I commented on a thread about Islamic Western integration and said I saw a BBC show once where they were talking about Muslims not integrating very successfully into British culture, but I'm American so I didn't know first hand. I was banned for hate speech.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
Spez is in bed with Netanyahu, so you can expect more bans going forward if you continue to be mean to poor old genocidal Israel.
I made the decision to purge my Reddit account - bulk deleted everything I’ve commented and posted, and deleted my account. I don’t like the direction they’re headed in. When I first started using it, discussion was 100% encouraged; if you looked hard enough and tried hard enough, you could get into deep conversations or learn something you hadn’t known before. Nowadays, though, anything you post is subject to Reddit’s keyboard warriors. Instead of actually discussing things, they name call and go through your Reddit history to find something to make fun of you for. Hell, did you know even if you had your Reddit account set to private, people could download extensions to see it?
Same shit happens here if you don't agree with the echo chamber. The people of this place aren't any better. It's a smaller pool with politics you align with in most cases.
The difference here is the admins can't force mods to be their unpaid cucks and effect speech platform wide. Not that this place isn't an echo chamber of progressive politics.
Yeah people forget what it was like when Harris was running. This place was absolutely disconnected from reality
You mean the people who were trying to decide whether they should vote for Harris based on her and Biden's views on Israel? Pretty sure that would have turned out 100x better than what we got now.
You are indeed the person disconnected from reality that that user is referencing.
Would Harris have been marginally better? Sure, especially if you're an American and have fully disconnected yourself from all foreign policy decisions.
Was she a good candidate considering the American electorate? No, she decided to be a Reagan era republican except even more racist and genocidal. We already had one of those running for the other side and those voters don't change their letter.
Did she run a good campaign considering the historicity of the "independent voter" as well as the history of right-wing voters in this country? Absolutely not. She did every single possible thing to show she was not at all a choice for anyone not right wing, and we already had a right-wing president running for office on the republican side. She also showed absolutely ridiculous ignorance in the state of the American public by praising Biden during one of the worst economic periods in US history, directly caused by his policies.
The attitude on most lemmy instances was "vote blue no matter who dies." You were not allowed to question why 1 million children in Gaza needed to die. You were not allowed to question why Iran needed to be invaded for their "continued transgressions." You were not allowed to question why Biden intentionally destroyed the primary process and thus removed the entire fucking illusion of democracy in the democratic party. Hell when Biden was the candidate you were not allowed to question why a man who had one of the most public mental declines in world history, literally rivaling Nero, was the presumed candidate for president, especially given he had lower approval ratings than Trump by the end of his presidency.
You people (pejorative) were worked into this ridiculous cult-like frenzy, I suppose in response to the cult of Trump, not realizing that's not why Trump won either time.
Those people were being downvoted to oblivion, basically any opinion that wasn't 100% support was being suppressed.
The right was overwhelmingly full of mysogynistic racists. The left was pissed about the state of policing and Palestine. Democratic leadership decided to check every box to ensure the right was whipped into a vote or die hysteria and the left would be on the fence but pointing this out was not allowed at the time.
Reddit is absolute garbage run by fascist.
And I'm regularly running new accounts to and bans here and I'll still choose this place.
lol
