Me, who only made an account because I was banned from Reddit and has no idea how Fediverse stuff works: whistles nervously

[-] sebinspace@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Banned from Reddit? What’d you do, tell Spez to go fuck himself?

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I told him to fuck himself plenty and never even got aknowlaged

[-] Airazz@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

It's often enough to say a bad word about russians and you get permabanned.

[-] sebinspace@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced that, and there’s whole, major subreddits basically dedicated to doing just that..

[-] tsukii@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile I fled to Lemmy from Reddit because I need a place to show art without being under some platform whose vision and actions I don't support

[-] noodles@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Pixelfed is viable option too, i would love to see your art there!

[-] On@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

you should be able to follow him from pixelfed. that's kind of a point of fediverse.

[-] PencilPossessor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I came here to share art too, cuz I don't really wanna share my art and out the effort if Reddit is just gunna implode and become worse...

[-] Sjoerd1993@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?

[-] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Said that I would murder andrew tate is given the opportunity and apparently that counts as a credible threat of violence

[-] escaped_cruzader@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That is very violent phrasing and you only deem it ok because it's geared toward the "right kind of people"

[-] Sjoerd1993@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Would that even count as a crime in the first place? Interesting either way, didn’t expect that would trigger a ban on the website.

Again, can totally see that happening on a sub, but giving the amount of vile that has been given a free platform on the site I didn’t think they’d bother.

A popular french redditor who had a fun passion fir road signage got banned from reddit to state in a right-wing reddit (/r/europe) about the riots in France, that sometimes you only get progress through violence. He was banned for promoting violence.

Commenting "GUILLOTINE!" at some political news was likely considered promoting violence enough so that the /r/france mods got instructions from reddit mods.

I feel like this happened because of the Jan 6th coup attempt in Washington. I totally understand their position, but it is a bit tiring that Americans believe that their own political mindset of the moment is universal. France has far more legal restrictions on free speech yet it feels like American media censor themselves much more.

They ban people very selectively and its always ideologically motivated. There was a period of time where you would get a 3-day ban for just upvoting the wrong posts. So you could lurk and still get banned for some reason. That happened to me multiple times before I decided to delete my account.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

you have my attention, which wrong posts did you upvote?

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I got banned once for telling an absolute cunt that she was one in "am I the asshole."

[-] paciencia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

wtf thats literally the point of the sub

[-] cool@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You better to stop telling your federal offenses on lemmy lol

[-] dylpickles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Boooo I disagree tell more

[-] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It's pretty easy, i got banned from a couple of subs for being left-wing (apparently calling out brigading from far-right subs was against the rules).

But i got a sitewide ban because I used an alt to ban evade (can't remember the exact post, but somebody was asking for advise wrt to COVID in a legal sub (I was originally banned for for encouraging a user to get funny but illegal payback on their neighbors), and it felt urgent enough that I was fine getting banned.).

Once you get a siteban, trolls will flag report all your posts even on subs your not banned from, or at least whenever I brought up that r/UKpolitics is modded by a literal fascist, I'd get a new site ban for "ban evasion", to the point where pretty much any encounter with a far right troll or YIMBY would get me a ban.

The admins also seem to work very closely with certain moderators, as was shown when they leaked a trans employees information to TERFisland subs.

So while powermods can't get you a sitewide ban, some have the ear of the admins who can keep an eye on you until you break a sitewide rule.

And on a site which has alt-right subs, it's hard to at the very least walk right up to the line on the rules wrt treating all commenters like humans.
