I've been banned plenty of times, permanently too because I was too pro-Ukraine. I guess it's totaly okay to cheer for ukrainian hospitals getting bombed in some subreddits but writing a retort ends in "threatening violence" I've stopped going there, it's a cespit of shit, bots and endless reposts about "WHaT GamE Do YoU LikE GuyS?"
I was banned from the my city's reddit for saying we should run nazis over after the scum did a letter box drop in our suburb. The mods removed the post with no notice, then banned me for asking why an anti nazi comment was deleted. (ie, the mods are pro nazi)
Apparently, you can be warned on Reddit for "promoting violence" if you mention the name of Mario's brother. In any context. Even if it's clear you mean the video game character, the algorithm will attack you.
Oh yeah! I got a warning for LIKING 👍 posts and comments that "celebrate violence ". If a revolution is ever to happen were gonna needs other channels bc social media would never allow it
I got banned permanently across any and all accounts. For saying I was glad a Nazi died. That is "promoting violence." But when people sent me death threats for complaining about a podcast those "dont violate community standards."
Yeah, I received this email 3 times. I broke my 600 plus day streak over this shit. I'm never using Reddit as a Social Media platform ever again. At the very, very least, I'll pop on for a tech support question, but that will only be if I've exhausted All other platforms. Also I'm gonna try out Lemmy and Mastodon. Try this federated stuff out.
I was on a lot of the gift giving and community support subreddits, so I was really sad when I got banned. And I literally did nothing worth banning. Like I legit just pissed off the wrong super mod. Meanwhile HE was advocating for forcing all women who have sex to be forced into motherhood.
I was banned permanently calling out billionaires like it's owner, as the biggest problem in modern society right now. Reddit is nothing but an over-auto moderated, ad revenue, basement dwelling circle jerk, billionaire propaganda tool these days.
I pissed off a super mod by saying that consent to sex isnt consent to parenthood. And they banned me from all their subreddits, and then when asked for an appeal by a different mod, I got banned from reddit for "harassing the mods". I literally sent 2 message, one for the og appeal, and one asking for a different mod to appeal to.
1st. Your username is contrary to their eugenics ideals. 2nd. They are not required to follow any laws other than those set by the corporation. 3rd. may the people that use the open social platforms maliciously or disingenuously have a small but malignant tumor on their nose.
Reddit is ran by a bunch of cowards. I got banned because they asked how I felt about Shitler von Carrotface's first 100 days went and I said, "I am leaning towards violance?" That got me banned for 3 days...fucking cowards.
Don’t feel bad. I got banned for calling Nancy Mace a cunt in r/politics. Refused to remove the post myself, so I got banned. I stand by it 100%: she’s a cunt.
"Freedom of Speech" applies to government controls, not private enterprise. Users of apps agree to abide by their published 'Terms of Use'.
There are lots of legal limits on [unprotected] speech even within that: fraud, uttering threats, inciting violence, harassment, copyright infringement, violating trade secrets or NDA, perjury, obscenity & child porn, libel/slander, treason/sedition, violating secrecy act, "fighting words" ... and CIVILIZED nations limit defined hate speech.
The first amendment applies to government controls. Freedom of speech is an ideal many of us hold that in some cases is protected by the first amendment and in others not.
If you show up to work with a rainbow flag pin your employer can fire you for it. That's not a violation of the first amendment but it sure as fuck is a violation of the ideal of free speech.
Just reminding 'murikans that no "freedom" is absolute ... like when it conflicts with somebody els'e freedom or safety.
Y'all seem very unclear on that concept, which is captured succinctly in the [unattributed] quote: "My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins."
Nah, here I say, kill all Nazis, all day. When they stop letting me say we need to kill all Nazis, then maybe. But I'm not fond of the blue sky/mastodon format. Although.... Maybe we should start an imgur inspired server on mastodon, and format it similarly to this site's style.... That would be dope. Also, while we're at it, we really should kill all Nazis, so jot that down.
And it's not like they stop all other talk about someone being killed. You can bet there's thousands of "helicopter rides" comments allowed let alone similar talk about killing someone over non-political topics.
That reminds me of a game my friends and I used to play and we all had phoenix in our names and some random fella joined named dark phoenix brought up a memory I had forgotten lol
Wasn't me, I don't think I've ever used it in a game. I've always used BluRayVen, a play on bluray, which my brain instantly latched on when the ps3 launched
That's when I left. It didn't even affect me but watching was Spez was doing at the time to make reddit ipo-ready was enough. I miss it a lot but cutting it out was the right thing for me.

I had a comment blocked on the tikky tok because I agreed with the poster and said a pill box was ugly. Because apparently that’s hate speech.

Keep in mind that present-day Reddit, Imgur, et al, are cannibalistic ghouls wearing the skins of the fora most of us came to love.

I believe quite strongly in freedom of speech. You didn't threaten to do it, you simply implied he had the right. So I think the ban is stupid.

Same as that bar story, if the site is defending nazis its a nazi social media site, imgur is becoming like that too.

I've been banned on reddit for being against the term "reverse racism" it's just racism. Now systemic racism is something different.
I've also been banned for arguing that fat jedis are not a thing. Jedis are trained warriors. You cannot stay fat while doing what they do.
So yeah bans on reddit means nothing to me.
MaximusUltima
Canonically, the only known Hutt in Star Wars who was not obese was a Jedi, and also apparently a rather powerful one at that.

Exactly. Reddit is fast becoming Facebook.

Got banned for being harassed by a moderator and telling them I didn't care about being banned from their sub myself.

Why do you think my reddit account only follows porn? Reddit is the equivalent of Facebook, but without all the PII farming.

Sadly, i never got to love it. I can have my own feed with my subs, but popular is garbage, and you can't post there unless you're a clickbait bot

Reddit flags mentions of "Luigi" as potentially harmful, as I understand it.
Don't talk about Luigi's Mansion.

The small hobby ones have reduced content. I believe because they adjusted the algorithms and just blast political bullshit at you constantly.
