Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
If you still have access to your account, screenshots of the last “offending” post or comment would be great. https://lemmy.world/c/banhammered
LITERALLY YESTERDAY!
There was a post about that Ron Pearlman video where he talked about studio execs losing their houses if they don't shut up. I said something to the effect of 'If Hellboy said lets go burn down some houses id follow him'
Inciting violence. Permaban.
My account was randomly locked because of “unusual usage”. I haven’t touched Reddit since the death of Apollo. So I guess going from a 100 to 0 was unusual. 🤷♀️
You better not stop using lemmy. I’ll be watching you.
Lol there’s nowhere else to go.
The official app is garbage and unusable. The website is clunky on my phone.
Lemmy is the place to be now. I admit that I miss my drama subs though.
FYI if you miss your drama subs, Red Reader is an open source third party app for Android that still works, I guess because of accessibility reasons.
I still visit Reddit because it's huge, but it's less pleasant every day.
Thanks!
Got permabanned from r/selfawarewolves because when I was in a small discussion with one other user, where I said that the US-Democratic Party is not Left-Wing
Was Perma-Banned from reddit for saying child rapists should get the worst punishment available
I have like 5 other banned accounts that just randomly got banned for no apparent reason, with reddit refusing to explain themselves to me.
The only people who defend pedophiles are pedophiles themselves. what a shit site.
Banned from /r/politics back when plain clothes officers in unmarked cars were snatching people off the streets during the police reform protests for wondering, "What happens if one of these people defends themselves against kidnappers with their second amendment?". The reason cited, was that I was advocating violence.
Honestly I thought that was pretty mild, and not really an advocation of violence so much as wondering what happened if the left responded the way the right does... I got my answer I think.
Got permabanned for inciting violence
“the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi”
I regret absolutely nothing.
Ironic. I got permabanned for calling someone Naziphobic on Reddit
I got banned from /r/politics for like a month because I called some fascist a boot licker. Not the first time it's happened.
A few days ago, I tried to post to /r/android to let them know about a 3rd party app that still works, but it got flagged as potential tech support post for some reason, so it had to be "reviewed" by a mod before being posted so I just fucking deleted it instead.
Then, just today, I commented on /r/student_debt but it got automatically removed for profanity (I used the word, 'fuck' on the internet. Naughty naughty!).
It's getting harder and harder to participate over there.
Notice that having a political opinion is now so controversial that most people simply avoid politics, leaving it to the suits.
Got banned multiple times for suggesting we hang/burn dictators, wanna be dictators, rapists, billionaires and Marjorie Taylor Greene. I regret nothing.
Nah, I banned Reddit myself. Leaving "fuck u/spez" in the leave message.
Temp ban for giving 5 reasons why pedophilia was wrong. Ban was for “Promoting Hate.” I can give the original post and 5 reasons if someone wants to know
A bit tame, but I was permabanned from /r/latestagecapitalism for suggesting that there were no "good guys" in the cold war. Who could've guessed that a community of anti-capitalists would have some tankie mods? /s
Got banned from r/whitepeopletwitter for using r/justunsubbed, which is now a “harassment” subreddit apparently.
Thanks for the new sub recommendation. 🙂
I got banned from socialist and leftist subs for being a veteran and/or having The audacity to say that Stalin wasn't a very good leader.
The politics sub for my country (UK) was doing an AMA with some shitty hard-right misinfo rag. Using an undelete util, I was able to see that they'd deleted any questions relating to the publications track record of provable dis- and misinfo. And they weren't questions like "fuck you you pieces of shit", they were well-written and polite. But didn't fit the narrative trying to be built.
I commented something like "Why are fair and reasonable questions being deleted? I thought this was ask me anything, not make x publication look good"
I was immediately banned for 'persistent mod abuse'.
Wow. Do you have screengrabs of the deleted questions?
I don't, unfortunately. I messaged one of the mods who from their post history wasn't a hard-right saboteur about it, didn't get a response but I think I was silently un-banned... I accidentally commented on a post a few months later thinking I was in UnitedKingdom sub and it went through / was replied.
I also posted this at [email protected]
I got permabanned for "report abuse".
I was reporting a series of blatantly obvious spam bot accounts like I normally do. Nothing fundamentally changed about my behavior. I had warnings in the past for "brigading" because I got into a row over improper rule application with some power tripping mods once, and I guess that was enough to get the permanent hammer. Reddit just had enough of me messing with their free content stream.
Filed an appeal. Never, ever got a response, not even an denial message. Lmfao.
I posted quite a bit on /r/conspiracy on the pandemic ...after that I got banned from posting on /r/vaccinelonghaulers and all the city and country subs eg: /r/korea. Still have my account and I can still post on places I'm not banned.
...just subbed to banhammered, I'll post it there too.
Permabanned for reporting spam and bot accounts.
I have chatted with a mate in reddit chat (or messages, idk) in german. To agree I typed "jap" meaning "ja", so "yes". Ja/Jap is the same as no/nope in english.
30 seconds later I was banned from this chat for a week because of being "racist".
Turns out that "Jap" was a derogatory term for japanese people...
My mate hasnt even reported the message (obvously) but reddit banned me because of aggreeing in a 1to1 chat...
