"I just got a lifetime ban from the 'comics' subreddit. Yesterday, I posted a humor comic that got over 5,400 upvotes. Then I noticed that there was a pinned post from the moderators saying that comics linked from X could no longer be shared because Musk gave a Nazi salute. I commented saying no he didn't. The moderator accused me of being pro-Nazi, banned me permanently for life, and deleted all my past posts from the 'comics' subreddit. But somehow Elon Musk is the totalitarian?"

LMAO, the mod that permanently banned this dude is amazing!

[–] frozenspinach@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I love that this counts as totalitarian from their perspective (but nothing else)

"How can I live in a world where they delete my comments? I can accept any other form of suffering for minorities, but please, do not remove my comment πŸ₯Ί"

The hierarchy of power:

              -- Reddit mod --
         ---------- God -----------
    ------------ Elon Musk ------------
-------------- US President --------------

When did Reddit mods get this based

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 37 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Hey Elon! Do it! You want to! You have the money!

Buy Reddit!

(It'd be the funniest damn thing.)

[–] abobla@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago

I would laugh so much at this

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago

I would love this!!

Welcome one, welcome all πŸ‘

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've only been here for a couple of weeks. I got banned yet again from Reddit so fuck that site. And thanks for the welcome. Peace.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I've never been banned from Reddit. I left voluntarily. I'm always skeptical about people on Lemmy because they got kicked off of Reddit...lmao

So...what you in for? /memeReference

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There was a clip of a 12 year old boy being purposely run over by a twat. I commented that if he had done that to any of my two boys he might get very hurt.

I got banned completely for threatening violence. I appealed because I didn't threaten anyone. No warning, not a 7 day ban or whatever.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Banned from a subreddit, or banned from the entire site?

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Banned from the entire site.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Interesting. I still can't help but wonder what other factors there were...sorry! Lmao

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

That's fine. You're allowed to be sceptical. There were no other factors, unless repeatedly taking aim at Agent Orange counts. Oh and Elon. One never knows.

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 1 points 2 weeks ago

Their toilet flushes in an improper direction. Insta-ban anywhere, to be honest.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Spez is probably a centimillionaire, and Sam Altman supposedly has a 9% stake in Reddit. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

Who knows what this pseudo-event is about, other than shoving oligarchs in my face again. Fuck all these fuckers.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

centimillionaire

A hundredth of a million is $10,000.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millionaire#Multimillionaire

Individuals with net assets of 100 million or more of a currency are commonly termed centimillionaires, or more rarely hectomillionaires.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nahh mate... They need all of us know that they own us.

[–] digdilem@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 weeks ago

Spez was a total musk fanboy during the early Twitter changes and said that he used him as an inspiration when changing Reddit's api, breaking all the decent phone clients. I don't doubt he'll do anything to join the big boys club.

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

If he does take it over, what will he name it, though? He already has X.com. ReddiX? Rexxit? ...Y.com?

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My money is on ReX. Fits with his whole juvenile theme and has the added bonus of making him feel like a classical king. Also rhymes with X.

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

I hate how plausible this sounds.

[–] Azerick@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

eXit?

Ironic really lol

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

lmao maybe he'll merge it with X

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

I was on reddit and got banned from a sub solely based on my username. LMAO

So bring on the redditors. Cuz that place is a toxic shithole!
