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’d argue there’s a lot of similarities, since most people left due to Spez and the IPO. I left when Spez and co fucked over the Apollo app dev.
This excludes the tankie instances. I saw a lot of “death to Israel” and other shit before I filtered those instance that would probably have gotten them nuked on reddit. Stuff like that will be the main differences. Here there isn’t any worry about how marketable the platform is to advertisers. Which is mostly a good thing.
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.
They even banned an alt I used for work stuff, just for being associated with the main account. Ban upheld on appeal.
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? 😏

Having an opinion
Using a VPN can get you banned in reddit.
…well now my ban makes more sense.
I can’t even view reddit (logged out) with my vpn on. :<
Replacing the “www” with “old” works wonders
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 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.
I’ve had multiple comments deleted on Lemmy about the UHC shooting.
I think the CEO got what he deserved.
Carefully now, you’re on lemmy.world so that doesn’t really apply.
Ehh…
I think “I don’t feel bad for the CEO” is okay, but “Deny, Defend, Depose” can get a comment removal on .world
But then, its lemmy. Theres a lot more instances that are more leinient.
A tongue in cheek comment encouraging killing someone who’s a danger to others.

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.
Meanwhile I see comments of people being removed for misspelling Palestine. I think it highly depends on the community/mod
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.
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.
Apparently not advocating for spreading knowledge of jury nullification. Lemmy.World is (mostly) banning it and now I need to find a new instance because I consider that to be the endorsement of our (American) government’s system of “bend over and take it.”
They kinda sorta reversed course on that.
Following a discussion in our team we want to clarify that we are no longer requesting moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification in the context of violent crimes when the crime in question already happened. We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.
Okay, that kinda makes sense in that context. I can at least see where they’re coming from.
I can’t recommend SJW highly enough. Big enough to be stable but small enough to only have a handful of admins who are all very reasonable and very easy to reach and discuss things with
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.
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.
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.
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
Feel free to report power tripping on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
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.
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 🤷
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.
Saying that literal Nazis deserve to be killed.
Or even just punched in the face. Or making fun of self identifying Nazis has been enough to get me temporarily banned.
Lol fuck reddit. Section 230 make them immune form legal issues anyways so thats just reddit being such a dick
I say this quite often.
Asking who deserves to die (because I was suicidal, and not much better)
No you get banned for that here too.
I got a three day suspension on reddit for telling automoderator to eat my ass. I don’t think that would happen on lemmy.
are you me?
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
