Except the obvious fuck spez / steve huffman stuff, what are the things that get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances Lemmy?
Specifically, I want to know where is the line drawn, regarding the recent NYC Shooting incident involving the corporate shithead.
I can comment on something conservative, calling the people morons for being duped, and not get banned from every single left wing area by some power tripping shithead mod that thinks those comments are going to drive positive traction to those conservative spaces.
Some reddit mods are utterly fucking useless, and definitely need to go touch some fucking grass.
I got perma-banned for condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Several mods accused me of being an alt-right neo Nazi MAGA cultist. 🙄
Bro, genocide is bad no matter who is doing it.
Got a recent one for you. I was permabanned from reddit a month ago for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, because Liz Cheney is a warhawk who has called for bombing millions of people.
Banned for “glorifying violence,” not because I agreed with it or endorsed it. Just for saying I didn’t care.
I don’t agree but I see the reasoning. They are gonna lose advertisers if they allow anything like that on their site. Especially if its a US politician. “I don’t care if putin gets shot” might not have gotten you a ban, but a US politician definitely is gonna get a ban, since reddit is a US company.
No. Maybe there’s some indirect concern about advertisers, but it’s mostly narrative control and propaganda.
Look at this recent ceo shooting. The rich know they have to convince us that their lives matter more, and that we have to consider them untouchable. It’s how they maintain their position and protect themselves from accountability from their own evil & violence.
Look at this recent ceo shooting.
-
Reddit is a corporation with a CEO
-
The CEO doesn’t like seeing members of his own social class being shot
-
Reddit users cheer death of a CEO
-
Reddit CEO gets scared like a bitch and start ban hammering
Hahaha. No. No one is calling for the execution of social media executives. It’s to protect his fellow rich people from having their monopoly on violence challenged.
No one? 😏

My favorite is when I say that as a minority and communist I bought guns to defend myself from neoliberals. Experiential truth is the bull in their china shop of an ideology. It’s a perma almost anywhere on Reddit.
Openly writing that bad people finally should realize their actions have direct deadly consequences, not only for them… or expect what comes.
Saying Nazis should get punched’ll get you banned on reddit in my experience
I got permabanned for saying I would like to see how Eisenhower would treat some Nazi marchers in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is not a commentary on how far the Republicans have shifted, but is actually advocating violence. I haven’t been supplying Reddit with free content since. Their loss, I had a pretty decent amount of karma, so I probably was contributing to the popularity of their site.
I once crossposted porn and got my ten+ year account permanently suspended. Why? Someone reported the content as revenge porn.
Mind you, I didn’t upload it, but merely shared it from /porn to /blowjobs or whatever it was. I have no idea if all participants consented to the upload or not.
Entire account gone, all appeals within the month of allowed appeals automatically denied.
Pointing out incarnations of MLK’s white moderate, being sincere about my personal experiences in context of intersectionality, encouraging the means of change that’ve historically been successful, or even educating others with pure facts about their system of representation has resulted in me being banned from Reddit and Lemmy core communities all the same.
Lemmy is certainly “better” in many ways. But, please keep the ego in check. We’re still failing in perhaps the most important facets.
sympathizing with Palestinians.
You mean antisemitism.
How is being pro Palestine, the country which once housed Jews, Muslims and Christians of Semitic backgrounds and others anti semitic?
Are there any Jews living today in areas ruled by the Palestinian authority or Hamas?
Or do you want to go back to rule by the British Empire or Ottomans?
Hamas only came in to existence because of Israel’s oppression of Palestinians. I do not condone their behaviour but this was literally all cause by Israel trying to occupy a people who were doing just fine before.
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
Check modlogs lol
There are alot of Zionists on here. They could’ve been one of them
Without / there is no way to know
Probably a lot of the guillotine talk you see around here.
Getting banned from Lemmy is orders of magnitude easier. During my 10+ years on reddit I can only remember one occasion when I got banned from a sub but it has happened on Lemmy multiple times over the 1.5 years I’ve been here and comments being removed is a regular thing.
On reddit you need to actually break the rules. On Lemmy it’s enough that a mod doesn’t like what you’re saying.
At least here there is a public modlog.
Which I think is fascinating. On Reddit, I’d get a post removed with a mail that says something extremely vague. Zero transparency.
Now you get extremely vague mod logs instead 🤷
Getting banned doesn’t really have the same impact. In both cases, you can still register with a new email, but on Lemmy, you can also choose a different instance.
Feel free to report power tripping on [email protected]
On Reddit I got banned from subs I’d never posted in for participating in other subs. The content of my posts didn’t even matter.
If Reddit implemented proper blocking, it wouldn’t be a problem.
The quantity of fuckheads who kept brigading from their cesspool into a regular subreddit was infuriating.
And the sub doesn’t even have to be related. I got banned from commenting in r/thatsinsane for a comment in r/karma4u, can’t even remember commenting there.
I got banned twice on reddit just because my account was new. So I figured “f reddit” if that’s how they treat new people.
What Reddit were you on? Many subs especially leftist learning ones would ban you even if you just subbed to a sub they didn’t like
leftist learning ones
I think those “leftist” subs are more like tankie subs
Reddit doesn’t need a reason to ban you. It can be anything because they function on arbitrary laws known only to themselves.
Criticism of Israel got me banned.
same.
Lol. What was the exact comment?
I love Lemmy for this.
I said “Fuck Israel, Fuck Hamas” on here and haven’t gotten banned.
There was no exact comment. I was banned from every top-level news sub for calling out the disproportionate reaction from Israel becoming a genocide. That was back in December last year. Their official reason for site banning me was “abuse of the report tool” because I was reporting everyone calling all Palestinians terrorists and/or advocating for their collective deaths. Advocating violence is against Reddit’s ToS, except if it’s Pro-Israel violence.
Meanwhile I see comments of people being removed for misspelling Palestine. I think it highly depends on the community/mod
I got a three day suspension on reddit for telling automoderator to eat my ass. I don’t think that would happen on lemmy.
I got permanently banned and IP blocked for delivering a full-on rant to one of those do-not-reply automod emails!
Eat my ass
/s
are you me?
- Links to archive.org
- Talking about downloads, how to circumvent DRM, software to do the above.
- Links to anything but youtube on /c/videos . (r/videos respectively).
- Talking about lemmy (in some communities)
- Alternative links to youtube videos that got banned for some reason or another.
Maybe you were in some seriously shady subs with pimple nosed little snotbags acting as mod, but none of this was ever a problem for me in the subs I frequented.
I haven’t visited reddit aside from the stray search result or very niche question every few months (no general browsing or any contiebutinf since I made this account), you really can’t post archive links? Why? DMCA BS?
I once got banned from a community for sharing a zelda decompilation project on archive.org. Others have reported issues with reddit and banning people for sharing nintendo power magazines. Fun times.
Which sub? Ninty is probably in their pockets lol.
I believe it was the /r/games ? Its been a loong while.
Using a VPN can get you banned in reddit.
Not in my experience. I’ve been browsing Reddit exclusively via VPN for 10+ years.
Either your VPN’s IPs are unknown to Reddit or it’s not working as you expected.
…or they’re not, in-fact, banning people simply for using VPN. Or is that not a possibility even?
I can’t even view reddit (logged out) with my vpn on. :<
Replacing the “www” with “old” works wonders
…well now my ban makes more sense.
