I got shadowbanned after finally actively posting… On r/BuyFromEU… idk man
Perma banned because I wished c-ncer on a pro-Israel troll. Is that an earned ban you guys think?
Hell, I said all Nazis can go die or kill themselves. Perm banned. Reason why I’m here. Fuck that place.
Samesies. All I said was Nazis should get punched. This is a much better place all around, so fuck spez
I got banned when I saw someone say trans kids should be hunted in schools, and I told them I wish they’d get hit with a brick.
I got banned for making fun of Kemi Badenoch when she said autistic people are privileged. I said maybe she’s jealous that there are people that know more about trains than her. That was apparently enough to warrant a permanent ban.
Thats be wise you where too much of a pacifist in your response.
Fuuuuuuuuuck spez
The police should check his hard drive
Reddit is a piece of shit.
Does saying “The only good fascist are really dead fascist” counts? What if I add that USA is a fascist country now? Will saying Donald is a pedophile still counts (I got banned for it already lol)? What about saying my favorite sport is nazi punching? And if I had that there’s no such thing as “roman salute”? Is Reddit about to drop a new t-shirt line “Protect fascist’s feeling” or something?
You mean if someone said something like, “Trump and Epstein raping a 13-year-old is a matter of court record.”?
I said we used to have a method of dealing with traitors. Got banned for it.
Fucking done with reddits shit.
Same, in January, I said something to the line of traitors used to be publicly hanged, now they’re elected and got banned for it. That was the last straw, came here right away and was happy to find the place striving compared to last time I tried it.
Yes, this is the exact mentality.
I got banned yesterday for basic “Eat the Rich” quotes with the occasional Luigi or Guillotine animated gif thrown in here or there.
Reddit is cracking down on anticapitalists for sure.
paywall it, have bot create content, ban all humans.
reddit is the internet of things.
At this point, getting banned at reddit is a badge of honor.
Uh…the “badge of honor” would have been quitting back during api-gate and not looking back. Getting banned now just means one participated after that time, providing spez with traffic and value, and helped normalize the behaviour that is only just now a bridge too far.
Today, a ban is the “conciliatory prize of not thinking ahead”.
3rd party apps closing down I can see from a business point. Makes good business sense. Keep everyone on your shitty app and monetize it. I wasn’t for it but understood the greedy fucks behind it.
Now it’s just different. Banned for going against Nazis, just means they are in bed with Nazis. That’s the last straw.

Not understanding how greed and control are different manifestations of fascism is still on you. Corporations always align with fascists because a corporation is essentially a small kingdom where a handful of Lords make all the decisions for the peasants (workers/consumers).
Plenty of us saw where this was headed because of the API drama.
reddit permabans you for vague interpretations of things they consider “threatening”
its already a thought crime zone.
Does that mean spez is getting banned for being a mod on r/jailbait?
Lol, how is it even possible to upvote banned content? I mean, is it not deleted if banned?
It means accounts that consistently upvote posts that end up being banned.
The naive take is that this will remove bot/brigade swarms that are collaboratively boosting content that breaks site wide rules. You can derive ulterior motives from this if you want but I’m pretty sure that’s the basic premise.
I have no doubt this will be leveraged by the far-right to sow more discord. They already have a history of raiding subreddits with false flag attacks to get them sanctioned until it escalates into full blown subreddit ban. This is all but formalizing the mechanism.
Banned after you upvote it
See something that’s pro-Luigi? That’s banned content
Pro-lemmy? That’s banned content
Upvoted a post about hypothetically killing a Republican? That’s banned content
Etc
They probably did this specifically because people were upvoting our favorite plumber.
This type of behavior is never tolerate on Reddit. You disagree with a Redditor, straight to ban. No trial, no nothing. There’s no journalists. We’ll have a special subreddit for journallists. Under represent a Republican, believe it or not ban. Over represent a Democrat, also ban. Reddit has the best users on the internet.
I got banned on Reddit, not by moderators of the sub, but by site admins for saying I hold similar values about CEOs like Luigid did.
Nobody elected the mods or the admins. And the management has shown itself to be, at least, MAGA-adjacent.
Same shit happens here and you know if. Anyone with any user count is heavily moderating violence.
Basically declaring that they don’t allow free speech.
“Hey, you have been liking things we disagree with and we need an echo chamber here, align with us or fuck off. Sincerely, the money hungry bitches of the internet! Also heil daddy musk!”
hypothetically speaking, if someone blew up their office HQ, that would send a powerful message. of course, if you have the balls to do that, there are some other offices that would probably be much better targets.
To be clear, they’re talking about banning right wing people. Reddit is one of the most liberal platforms you will find.
You can’t even talk economics on Reddit without being downvoted to fuck, or banned.
I am a centrist, and I routinely had posts removed and got banned from communities for saying things from actual textbooks taught currently in universities.
No one is attacking the free speech of the left unless it’s radical and advocating for physical harm.
Incorrect. I got banned yesterday for “Eat the Rich” and Luigi favoritism. I believe the post in question (you never know with a Reddit ban because they dont show you) was responding to someone’s post that mentioned the French Revolution with a Guillotine gif and “Git-r-Done”.
Yea, apparently I was plotting murder or something by doing that.
Basically declaring that they don’t allow free speech.
It’s a privately owned platform. You never have an assurance of free speech on any of those, and on Reddit, the rot set in years ago.
I have a strange opinion, but here goes: The Right to Free Speech (Im in the US here), should protect you from censorship. Doing what Reddit is doing should be considered a Rights violation and we should be able to sue them into the ground.
Terrible idea. Any site that bans for hate speech would also be a rights violation. If a platform doesn’t share your values, leave it.
There is a big jump from “we are a private company and we have internal rules” to “we are a private company and our internal rules that directly go against human rights”
Based on what I read in the posted article, everyone is making a big leap here. Of course I expect you all to be right in the end based on Reddit being a shitshow, but we don’t know what the content they are referring to is exactly.
For all we know, they are only referring to stuff like human trafficking or child porn. The statement is vague.
Of course they don’t. They banned me 3 years ago for saying that if you have the chance, you should always punch a Nazi.
They permabanned two of my accounts during the election last year, just because I said I didn’t care when Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot. She’s a warmonger who’s called for violence against millions of innocent people. Not gonna clutch my pearls when anyone (even Trump) threatens her.
Excuse me? If someone says they want a genocide you have to wait until they take over, only then are you allowed to support violence.
I’m against violence, I think that reasonable and even somewhat unreasonable people should be talked with. But if someone says “fuck you I will kill you” you should have the right to punch them, it is the same as self defence, because next time they will kill you.
I know. The two reactions when I tell people about that are usually either rage or amusement. I’m here now, so fuck Reddit.
What was the actual reason they gave when they blocked your account. Because I had one of my accounts banned, but not for any logical reason, and they just gave me a made-up reason of I was being aggressive (I wasn’t being aggressive I was just pointing out to someone that he was gatekeeping, which he was).
For contacts the guy was trying to suggest that the only people who should be allowed to be employed in the software development industry are people with a relevant university level qualification, which was obviously stupid because it would block pretty much all of the current tech billionaires from their own companies.
I once got banned for “vote brigading” on Reddit because I upvoted a crosspost that was deleted later, so this comes as no surprise. They have been monitoring upvotes and downvotes since forever.
I got perma banned after i joined NAFO as a mod 2 bannes for petty reasons and then the third and final ban. Always waited for the other bans to time out
Wtf is “vote brigading”?
When one community goes in mass to affect the votes in another. E.g someone is doing a poll/vote intended to be private or limited to a certain group/community, and you link that to from somewhere else with the hope, or sometimes direct instructions to go vote on it in a certain way.
That’s why reddit has cross-posts and the np (no participation, disables voting in the linked content) subdomain that try to keep the votes separated.
When one community goes in mass
Slightly off-topic, but it’s en masse, not “in mass”
I don’t think i ever came across cross posted content where up/down voting was not allowed 🤔
If you cross-post, that sub gets it’s own up/downvote count. You would have to open the link and go to the original post to see and affect them, so it already discourages brigading.
NP is when I link you directly to somewhere, e.g https://np.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1j4scuu/barbie_doll/ won’t have voting even if you are logged in, not on the post or the comments.
Yeah what the heck is that?
Agreeing with something the owners don’t like.
Well that’s just screwed up.
“reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote calls for a violent revolution against the billionaire class and the fascist neo feudalist militarized police state enforced wage slavery and rent till death economics they have created to benefit their endless growth driven profits while ignoring upvotes of content that praise violence against leftists, women and other marginalized leftist aligning groups and ideologies”
There, FTFY
after what they saw with luigi, and trying to suppress all news about it
They are desperay obvious and its cringe. They were in full blast damage control censorship mode even before december 4th. I was VPN banned last summer just for saying that occupied indigenous people have a right to resist occupation by any means necessary as per international law in regards to palestine and IsNoTreal. So far ive jot been able to evade the ban even with a vpn. Wall street military and prison industry profiteers have become too confident and comfortable.
They ban for literally anything probably because their Reddit moderation is handled by AI. The simple fact that many reports = certain ban regardless of behavior is reason enough not to be in that cesspool
their Reddit moderation is handled by AI
They also have a number of fascist mods who abuse their authority to arbitrarily ban anyone saying something they don’t like.
Oh for sure! I got banned for “inciting violence” when I called desantis “a wanna be fascist in fake cowboy boots” and it got spam reported by conservative snowflakes. There is literally no staying unbanned on Reddit if you have any form of moral compass or social awareness
