I’m not banned, just don’t want to be there due to Spez’s bullshit
Same. (So far. I’ve mentioned Lemmy a bit over there, so it could happen without surprising me much)
I said Palestinians should be able to defend themselves in world news and they kicked me right out, then afterwards every time I went into trash talk threads on the Hockey subreddit admins would give me 3day bans for bullying, or one time I got banned for ‘encouraging violence’ for talking about a fight that happened in a hockey game. I asked the admin if that was encouraging violence how come you allow MMA subreddits. No response.
Reminds me of when I was temporarily banned for encouraging violence when I suggested someone needed a long nap.
I was banded from /r/democrats because I said that Bernie would have beaten Trump
Called out on a guy that was faking being Ukrainian for getting a free card making xenofóbic comments and denying the Armenian genocide (he was indeed from Turkey). I presented prove and evidences that he changed his flair from Turkish to Ukrainian and stated saying in every post that he was Ukrainian just after the Russian invasion, and that he was doing it to get more attention from people while he went full on denying any crime done in the present or the past by Turkey/Ottomans.
Somehow I ended up banned and he did not. r/Europe in a nutshell. I never step a foot in that subreddit after that.
I reported a Fox News post that claimed climate change has no effect on the rise in wildfires. First time ever reporting anything there, and maybe reported a handful of racist comments before that.
Not even an hour later I got the message that I had been permanently banned! Appealed it, they said they’d reviewed the ban and it stands. Fucking laughable!!
Reddit mods are full of it man.
I got banned from pc master race because I mentioned another subreddit (the precursor to hydrohomies). It has the “nword” in its name, so I was cautious and censored myself with asterisks., “water*****”. They banned me under the pretense of racism. Like what? I didnt decide the subs name and all they talked about there was drinking water, regardless of race, skin color, religion, etc. I tried to appeal, and just “alluding” to that subs name was enough for me to be considered racist. Like damn, pot calling the kettle black, there, huh PC “master race”?
What the fuck. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic! The mods over there are a bunch of bawbags.
Lol dude they’ll ban you for saying the thing that Linus thought was the “hard R” word. Not the actual “hard R” word.
good strat when you support that kind of thing but want to make “true” statements about dealing with hate speech.
spez has a history with some of the most disgusting subs on the site.
I got banned once because I used to make a new account every few months and accidently commented in a subreddit I’ve been blocked before. This means reddit tracks your different accounts by email or ip address. I bet the place is evil internally.
I mean that sort of thing is pretty much standard operating procedure for any forum. Whenever you ban anyone the first thing they’ll do is make a new account. Keeping out the spammers and whatnot is hard enough without return customers.
Someone kept doing that to my subreddit, and did not get banned. I think he might still be at it, but I’m not sure.
Thats pretty normal, though. Even Discord does that. Its for ban evasion. Some unsavory people will go to lengths to keep coming back to place to keep harassing people even after being banned.
I was permanently suspended from reddit because on a /r/hockeyplayers “chirp” thread a guy shared a picture of his white skates and I asked if his boyfriend had a matching pair.
I got banned from r/food because i commented badly on someones meal.
I got banned from /r/food because I said that mayonnaise is the food of my people. I’m white.
r/food and r/foodporn were pretentious as fuck. Theyd ban people for posting reasonable stuff. All they wanted was magazine quality shots. We had many people over in r/shittyfoodporn posting rather nice meals thinking this was the appropriate sub because they were banned from those other two places.
I got banned from a bunch of right wing subreddits (r/conservative, r/askthedonald etc.) because I either posted articles disproving whatever garbage the post was spewing, or called people idiots because: they would make up a bunch of claims, they didn’t post any sources, and a quick google search proved them wrong.
I got banned from a bunch of left wing subreddit (r/againsthatesubreddits etc) for posting in and calling right wing subreddit people stupid and stating that pitbulls are far more dangerous than the average dog type, with links.
It’s probably worth noting that getting banned from Reddit means that the majority of Lemmy instances would likely ban you as well.
And to actually answer the question, I’ve never been banned.
Yes and also no, some things reddit bans for non-social commercial reasons, like sharing piracy links and content and DMCA. Lots of Lemmy instances are still able to let that fly effortlessly.
I got a 7day ban from reddit for posting pigpoopballs.jpg to someone. Hexbear has this as an emote.
When I appealed with the message “It’s a pig with poop on its balls” they raised it to a permaban.
I never got banned.
What’s the most controversial thing you’ve said on there ?
Since I’m also in the never banned club, the most controversial thing I ever said on Reddit, based entirely on community reactions, was probably “americans perceive everyone outside america as sub-humans who are beneath self-determination, like they should be the ones to choose how we do everything”.
Sounds like at least among lefties this should have been an uncontroversial statement, but gods I made some gringos mad on that day.
Hah, only controversial to me for the mass generalization of a wide group of 300 million. There are absolutely many who see it that way, although also many millions who don’t.
The millions who don’t do not hold power.
Saying “Americans” might be a gross generalisation, but as long as your country acts like the planet’s collective abusive partner, I’ll just. Continue to shit on y’all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
idk
I went to several pro-DWAC (Truth Social) investment subreddits and explained how margin accounts are “the dirty trick wall street doesn’t want you to learn!” and gave them instructions on how to request it.
I made a comment that news stories about Ukraine winning the war might not be realistic.
This got me banned from WorldNews
Aside from which side do you support (if you even support one) that’s just an strategic opinion from my point fo view.
I never used it… 😇
Undefiled
I made a semi-meme about moving to Lemmy on formuladank. Banned 3 minutes later, no reason given, they didn’t even remove the post and the mod was a twat about it (of course).
