I’m not banned, just don’t want to be there due to Spez’s bullshit
Same. (So far. I’ve mentioned Lemmy a bit over there, so it could happen without surprising me much)
I said Palestinians should be able to defend themselves in world news and they kicked me right out, then afterwards every time I went into trash talk threads on the Hockey subreddit admins would give me 3day bans for bullying, or one time I got banned for ‘encouraging violence’ for talking about a fight that happened in a hockey game. I asked the admin if that was encouraging violence how come you allow MMA subreddits. No response.
Called out on a guy that was faking being Ukrainian for getting a free card making xenofóbic comments and denying the Armenian genocide (he was indeed from Turkey). I presented prove and evidences that he changed his flair from Turkish to Ukrainian and stated saying in every post that he was Ukrainian just after the Russian invasion, and that he was doing it to get more attention from people while he went full on denying any crime done in the present or the past by Turkey/Ottomans.
Somehow I ended up banned and he did not. r/Europe in a nutshell. I never step a foot in that subreddit after that.
I made a comment that news stories about Ukraine winning the war might not be realistic.
This got me banned from WorldNews
I got banned once because I used to make a new account every few months and accidently commented in a subreddit I’ve been blocked before. This means reddit tracks your different accounts by email or ip address. I bet the place is evil internally.
Someone kept doing that to my subreddit, and did not get banned. I think he might still be at it, but I’m not sure.
I was permanently suspended from reddit because on a /r/hockeyplayers “chirp” thread a guy shared a picture of his white skates and I asked if his boyfriend had a matching pair.
It’s probably worth noting that getting banned from Reddit means that the majority of Lemmy instances would likely ban you as well.
And to actually answer the question, I’ve never been banned.
Yes and also no, some things reddit bans for non-social commercial reasons, like sharing piracy links and content and DMCA. Lots of Lemmy instances are still able to let that fly effortlessly.
I got a 7day ban from reddit for posting pigpoopballs.jpg to someone. Hexbear has this as an emote.
When I appealed with the message “It’s a pig with poop on its balls” they raised it to a permaban.
I never got banned.
What’s the most controversial thing you’ve said on there ?
Since I’m also in the never banned club, the most controversial thing I ever said on Reddit, based entirely on community reactions, was probably “americans perceive everyone outside america as sub-humans who are beneath self-determination, like they should be the ones to choose how we do everything”.
Sounds like at least among lefties this should have been an uncontroversial statement, but gods I made some gringos mad on that day.
Hah, only controversial to me for the mass generalization of a wide group of 300 million. There are absolutely many who see it that way, although also many millions who don’t.
The millions who don’t do not hold power.
Saying “Americans” might be a gross generalisation, but as long as your country acts like the planet’s collective abusive partner, I’ll just. Continue to shit on y’all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
idk
Got banned from /r/geopolitics after one of the mods saw that I frequented the chapotraphouse sub back when it was in its heyday. Vaguely remember him saying something about how “unserious” perspectives like a communist pov wasn’t allowed.
Never got banned, if fact I modded a handful of small subreddits, have basically made three posts in the past 5 years. The rest is just lurking on alternate front-ends on smaller news-like feeds.
(Some of us are here because we like Lemmy, not because of reddit ;-) )
Still going strong on my 15 years old account. I don’t really seek confrontation, so my comments are at most average.
My account never got banned, I just got tired of looking at political shit— especially at liberal/reactionary nonsense— every single day, so I deleted it and came over here, where we don’t put up with as much bullshit as we did over there.
I did get banned from a bunch of subs, though.
One of my favorite bans was when r/196 banned me for linking the whole Tank Man video under a “muh Tiny Moon Square!” meme, which clearly shows the “Tank Man” leaving without so much as a scratch, a level of restraint that American police don’t show to anyone except to fascist wankers.
I made a semi-meme about moving to Lemmy on formuladank. Banned 3 minutes later, no reason given, they didn’t even remove the post and the mod was a twat about it (of course).
I never used it… 😇
I got banned from r/food because i commented badly on someones meal.
I got banned from /r/food because I said that mayonnaise is the food of my people. I’m white.
