Feel that pain this year would have been my 10th year on Reddit. I was permanently banned last June for saying I hope the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus. It’s still blows I can’t post or comment on anything. I was part of a close nit group on Reddit involving a car subreddit and now it sucks to see people commenting on where I am and what happened.

Don't miss Reddit. I got my 10 year account permanently banned for making a complaint about a mod who temp banned me for no perceivable reason.
Eat a sack of damp turds Reddit.
Oh, you can get banned here. It's not like this is like a place of free speech. It's just that the internet is kind of created little pockets of echo chambers. It is what it is. And like it was always going to be like that anyways. I just like it that it's not monetized by corporations that are bombing the shit out of children.
you can get banned here
It takes special effort here, though.
And like it was always going to be like that anyways.
It's not inevitable: some places are very laissez-faire.
I was permabanned without explanation and reinstated two weeks later, again without comment.
I believe this tracks with what to expect should we ever see the tech-bro billionaires divide the world into monarchy fiefdoms ocer which rhey are each the unchallenged lord and master.
Many many years and ass loads of karma....
But apparently LIKING posts can get you banned now. What a shit show.
Clearly they're butthurt that you didn't fellate Trump or Musk or some other such drain clog.
I tried to like Reddit but every time I tried posting something I thought was original or thoughtful it would get auto deleted by a bot for not including the right "flair" or some other stupid shit.
Because you didn’t read and respect the rules
Oh I did and even contacted moderators a few times to try to have posts reinstated after they were insta-banned by a bot. I just got tired of fighting with it every time I wanted to participate.
Oh yea that happens
I came from TikTok to Reddit about 2 years ago and after some initial adjustments I found the experience quite liberating in comparison. But yeah there are a lot of rules that you only find out about by getting deleted or downvoted. Lemmy is quite literally the essence of what makes Reddit interesting without the weird bs so this is an overdue transition anyway (although I miss optional user flairs ngl).
Lemmy is just small enough at this point where mods don't have to rely on automated tools and things like required flairs to effectively manage their community. As it develops, things like required flairs, verified submissions, etc will become more normal.
For example, I'm watching Wheel of Time, and /r/WoT requires you to flair every submission with a spoiler level (books only, show and book, show only, etc). Lemmy can't really sustain good discussion on that yet, but when it does mods will need to start aggressively removing submissions if they're not properly categorized.
Similar happened to me. You cannot say there is genocide going in Palestine. If u say that are temp banned for a day, then 3 day then permanently banned.
There will still be an amount of censorship on lemmy, it might just be on the opposite opinion of yours, so you won’t notice it. I’m pretty sure we’re slowly turning into an echo chamber as well
Just for posterity in case this follows us here, there is a genocide going on in Palestine. Feels like a mantra at this point.
Lmao yeah I guess there’s a lot of us here.
I doubt that very much.
Shadowbanning is a tool of the demiurge
They kept sending me emails with cutesie aliens in them after they shadowbanned me. Very weird company
Lately I'm seeing a lot of this on old accounts
I had a few alt accounts from a decade ago that I'd sometimes used to get something from that site but over the past year the all got banned for no reason because I literally didn't even post with them.
Im guessing that Reddit wants to get rid of those older users that still remember how great it was
I canceled my reddit pro, or reddit+ account, whatever the f*ck it is called, and the ads, the ads.... Ads that look like posts, or comments. It's almost making me 100% Lemmy too.
I kinda miss the ads with comments enabled but not to the point where I'd consider going back 😅
Welcome, don't step in the Tankies on your way in.
Actually, please do step on them, they might finally wanna leave
Why do we keep those near the front door, anyway?
They offered to build the front door for free and now that it's done it's difficult to convince people to come in through a different door.
we keep moving them but when their toilets clog and overflow building mgmt moves them back.
