So I just got banned from Reddit for simply liking a post. Apparently it fell under their category of the number one rule of harassment, discrimination bulling the rest of it. I simply just liked a post. I didn’t share the post or comment anything discriminating, just liked it. 4 days later I received a permanent ban message. Of course I appealed stating the above facts of not saying or sharing anything to break their rule because I enjoyed engaging with my people in the communities I was interactive with, only to receive the message of the ban will still be in place. Fuck Reddit. They obviously want it to be a la la la all is happy and controlled land.
So… what was the post about?
Yep this is really the only question that matters. Also, redditors call them “upvotes” not “likes.”
This smells fishy.
This is not exactly surprising, but honestly if you think this won’t happen on Lemmy as well then you’re in the wrong place. It might not be happening right this moment, but I guarantee there are people who want something like this here too. The only upside to Lemmy is that you can move to another instance, which comes with the obvious downside that you will basically be forced to make new friends. Which is not an easy task.
There was some drama a few months ago with the vegan community. Some mod was banning everyone that downvoted them.
It already happens, .ml (Well really the whole Tankie Triad, Hexbear and grad is only harder because they’re pretty widely defed’d from) will site-ban you for posts and comments on other instances that dare criticize their Tankie nature
Reddit is total trash at this point A LOT of people are saying it
