Fuuuuuuuuuck spez
Perma banned because I wished c-ncer on a pro-Israel troll. Is that an earned ban you guys think?
Hell, I said all Nazis can go die or kill themselves. Perm banned. Reason why I'm here. Fuck that place.
Samesies. All I said was Nazis should get punched. This is a much better place all around, so fuck spez
I got banned when I saw someone say trans kids should be hunted in schools, and I told them I wish they'd get hit with a brick.
Thats be wise you where too much of a pacifist in your response.
Does that mean spez is getting banned for being a mod on r/jailbait?
Does saying "The only good fascist are very dead fascist" counts? What if I add that USA is a fascist country now? Will saying Donald is a pedophile still counts (I got banned for it already lol)? What about saying my favorite sport is nazi punching? And if I add that there's no such thing as "roman salute"?
Is Reddit about to drop a new t-shirt line "Protect fascist's feeling" or something?
I said we used to have a method of dealing with traitors. Got banned for it.
Fucking done with reddits shit.
Same, in January, I said something to the line of traitors used to be publicly hanged, now they're elected and got banned for it. That was the last straw, came here right away and was happy to find the place striving compared to last time I tried it.
You mean if someone said something like, "Trump and Epstein raping a 13-year-old is a matter of court record."?
Yes, this is the exact mentality.
I got banned yesterday for basic "Eat the Rich" quotes with the occasional Luigi or Guillotine animated gif thrown in here or there.
Reddit is cracking down on anticapitalists for sure.
Reddit is a piece of shit.
At this point, getting banned at reddit is a badge of honor.
Uh...the "badge of honor" would have been quitting back during api-gate and not looking back. Getting banned now just means one participated after that time, providing spez with traffic and value, and helped normalize the behaviour that is only just now a bridge too far.
Today, a ban is the "conciliatory prize of not thinking ahead".
3rd party apps closing down I can see from a business point. Makes good business sense. Keep everyone on your shitty app and monetize it. I wasn't for it but understood the greedy fucks behind it.
Now it's just different. Banned for going against Nazis, just means they are in bed with Nazis. That's the last straw.

Not understanding how greed and control are different manifestations of fascism is still on you. Corporations always align with fascists because a corporation is essentially a small kingdom where a handful of Lords make all the decisions for the peasants (workers/consumers).
Plenty of us saw where this was headed because of the API drama.
reddit permabans you for vague interpretations of things they consider "threatening"
its already a thought crime zone.
Lol, how is it even possible to upvote banned content? I mean, is it not deleted if banned?
Banned after you upvote it
See something that’s pro-Luigi? That’s banned content
Pro-lemmy? That’s banned content
Upvoted a post about hypothetically killing a Republican? That’s banned content
Etc
This type of behavior is never tolerate on Reddit. You disagree with a Redditor, straight to ban. No trial, no nothing. There's no journalists. We'll have a special subreddit for journallists. Under represent a Republican, believe it or not ban. Over represent a Democrat, also ban. Reddit has the best users on the internet.
They probably did this specifically because people were upvoting our favorite plumber.
I got banned on Reddit, not by moderators of the sub, but by site admins for saying I hold similar values about CEOs like Luigid did.
Basically declaring that they don't allow free speech.
"Hey, you have been liking things we disagree with and we need an echo chamber here, align with us or fuck off. Sincerely, the money hungry bitches of the internet! Also heil daddy musk!"
Of course they don’t. They banned me 3 years ago for saying that if you have the chance, you should always punch a Nazi.
Excuse me? If someone says they want a genocide you have to wait until they take over, only then are you allowed to support violence.
I'm against violence, I think that reasonable and even somewhat unreasonable people should be talked with. But if someone says "fuck you I will kill you" you should have the right to punch them, it is the same as self defence, because next time they will kill you.

paywall it, have bot create content, ban all humans.
reddit is the internet of things.
Its so obvious Reddit is just swarming with bot users. Not sure why most users haven't just come to Lemmy already.
I once got banned for "vote brigading" on Reddit because I upvoted a crosspost that was deleted later, so this comes as no surprise. They have been monitoring upvotes and downvotes since forever.
Wtf is “vote brigading”?
When one community goes in mass to affect the votes in another. E.g someone is doing a poll/vote intended to be private or limited to a certain group/community, and you link that to from somewhere else with the hope, or sometimes direct instructions to go vote on it in a certain way.
That's why reddit has cross-posts and the np (no participation, disables voting in the linked content) subdomain that try to keep the votes separated.
When one community goes in mass
Slightly off-topic, but it’s en masse, not “in mass”

Nobody elected the mods or the admins. And the management has shown itself to be, at least, MAGA-adjacent.
