Reddit is dead to me and I was with it since near the beginning.

I'm amazed any of you get told why you were banned

There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I've never seen on Reddit I thought it was the last bastion of free speech

While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked

It is unfortunate

Steve Bannon isnt welcome in Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldn't host nazis. I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period. Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles They deserve to be boycotted And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time

Edit: UPDATE 2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!! NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT

Told you so r/Coloradosprings

Fuck yall

I'd argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.

Like, since Lemmy, Pixelfed, Mastodon, PeerTube, and Matrix are decentralized, that naturally shields them from censorship somewhat compared to centralized platforms where you're ultimately at the mercy of whoever runs that platform.

I just got a temporary ban for cussing out Elon in one of the antifacist subreddits, felt good. I'm wearing this ban as a badge of honor.

I got perma banned for calling a magat regarded and telling them to stop eating crayons, under rule 1:

Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

lol. The small, vulnerable, and marginalized group of election winning fascists.

I'm not and never was banned from there, however I left on my own accord after this happened, as if all their other enshittification didn't reinforce that decision.

That's why I'm here. Whatever musk touches turns to shit.

Elon acts like a dude with a very tiny penis.

Ya. Who are we kidding. Bros got a tiny pecker.

Elon is being a damn snowflake.

My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn't let me see what I even commented. They said it was "encouraging violence" but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Ya. The ol' "encouraging violence". Pretty much the same thing as "national security"
