Except the obvious fuck spez / steve huffman stuff, what are the things that get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances Lemmy?
Specifically, I want to know where is the line drawn, regarding the recent NYC Shooting incident involving the corporate shithead.
Having an opinion
sympathizing with Palestinians.
You mean antisemitism.
How is being pro Palestine, the country which once housed Jews, Muslims and Christians of Semitic backgrounds and others anti semitic?
Are there any Jews living today in areas ruled by the Palestinian authority or Hamas?
Or do you want to go back to rule by the British Empire or Ottomans?
Hamas only came in to existence because of Israel’s oppression of Palestinians. I do not condone their behaviour but this was literally all cause by Israel trying to occupy a people who were doing just fine before.
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
Without / there is no way to know
There are alot of Zionists on here. They could’ve been one of them
Check modlogs lol
I got a three day suspension on reddit for telling automoderator to eat my ass. I don’t think that would happen on lemmy.
Eat my ass
/s
I got permanently banned and IP blocked for delivering a full-on rant to one of those do-not-reply automod emails!
are you me?
I’d argue there’s a lot of similarities, since most people left due to Spez and the IPO. I left when Spez and co fucked over the Apollo app dev.
This excludes the tankie instances. I saw a lot of “death to Israel” and other shit before I filtered those instance that would probably have gotten them nuked on reddit. Stuff like that will be the main differences. Here there isn’t any worry about how marketable the platform is to advertisers. Which is mostly a good thing.
tech-related, my account got shadow-banned because I posted an article about signalapp that included some bio of founder Moxie and some info about hacker culture
I got perma-banned for condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Several mods accused me of being an alt-right neo Nazi MAGA cultist. 🙄
Bro, genocide is bad no matter who is doing it.

Being a tankie
Hmm maybe.
I think r/sino is still around?
Got a recent one for you. I was permabanned from reddit a month ago for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, because Liz Cheney is a warhawk who has called for bombing millions of people.
Banned for “glorifying violence,” not because I agreed with it or endorsed it. Just for saying I didn’t care.
They even banned an alt I used for work stuff, just for being associated with the main account. Ban upheld on appeal.
I don’t agree but I see the reasoning. They are gonna lose advertisers if they allow anything like that on their site. Especially if its a US politician. “I don’t care if putin gets shot” might not have gotten you a ban, but a US politician definitely is gonna get a ban, since reddit is a US company.
No. Maybe there’s some indirect concern about advertisers, but it’s mostly narrative control and propaganda.
Look at this recent ceo shooting. The rich know they have to convince us that their lives matter more, and that we have to consider them untouchable. It’s how they maintain their position and protect themselves from accountability from their own evil & violence.
Look at this recent ceo shooting.
-
Reddit is a corporation with a CEO
-
The CEO doesn’t like seeing members of his own social class being shot
-
Reddit users cheer death of a CEO
-
Reddit CEO gets scared like a bitch and start ban hammering
Hahaha. No. No one is calling for the execution of social media executives. It’s to protect his fellow rich people from having their monopoly on violence challenged.
No one? 😏

To be fair, this is usually a spam mitigation thing. Most places that do it have an automod that just deletes anything posted by an account less than x days / weeks old, rather than a human going through and doing it manually. It’s usually in the rules of the sub
A variant is requiring a certain amount of karma for the same reason
Yea, sometime I just want a throwaway to vent on how shitty my life is, then after typing like 5 paragraphs, I click post. I get an automod saying my karma is too low.
Ugh, that shit just makes me wanna end myself even more (figuratively, of course).

Yeah, some instances are the equal and opposite of voat. Just as extreme, in the opposite direction
I remember commenting in a sub and getting bounced by automod because I didn’t meet a karma limit. Which is fine, lots of subs have karma limits. But it felt really high- I had a couple thousand karma at the time- and the mods explicitly wouldn’t tell you what the actual limit was.
So I guess you’re just supposed to let automod bounce you occasionally til you manage to hit their magic number.
I once crossposted porn and got my ten+ year account permanently suspended. Why? Someone reported the content as revenge porn.
Mind you, I didn’t upload it, but merely shared it from /porn to /blowjobs or whatever it was. I have no idea if all participants consented to the upload or not.
Entire account gone, all appeals within the month of allowed appeals automatically denied.
Saying Nazis should get punched’ll get you banned on reddit in my experience
I got permabanned for saying I would like to see how Eisenhower would treat some Nazi marchers in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is not a commentary on how far the Republicans have shifted, but is actually advocating violence. I haven’t been supplying Reddit with free content since. Their loss, I had a pretty decent amount of karma, so I probably was contributing to the popularity of their site.
- Links to archive.org
- Talking about downloads, how to circumvent DRM, software to do the above.
- Links to anything but youtube on /c/videos . (r/videos respectively).
- Talking about lemmy (in some communities)
- Alternative links to youtube videos that got banned for some reason or another.
Maybe you were in some seriously shady subs with pimple nosed little snotbags acting as mod, but none of this was ever a problem for me in the subs I frequented.
I haven’t visited reddit aside from the stray search result or very niche question every few months (no general browsing or any contributing since I made this account), you really can’t post archive links? Why? DMCA BS?
I once got banned from a community for sharing a zelda decompilation project on archive.org. Others have reported issues with reddit and banning people for sharing nintendo power magazines. Fun times.
Modern day internet, you can talk about things, but you have to talk around certain companies, like nintendo or else risk getting banned/taken down. But with the fediverse, i can own more of the system. If world ever goes down, I can still use my personal instance to communicate for instance.
Which sub? Ninty is probably in their pockets lol.
I believe it was the /r/games ? Its been a loong while.
I’ve never been banned from Reddit but I was threatened with a ban by a Reddit admin when I reported a right wing troll group who was obviously using sockpuppets to harass people and spread racist bullshit in some local sub. The admin message said I was abusing the moderation system by reporting them and if I didn’t stop I would be banned from Reddit. I was never banned but a few weeks later all of the sockpuppet accounts I reported were banned by the antievil operations team along with one of the mods in that sub.
