They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours

    My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn’t let me see what I even commented. They said it was “encouraging violence” but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.

      Ya. The ol’ “encouraging violence”. Pretty much the same thing as “national security”

    I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.

    After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.

      I was banned for saying traitors to our nation should be publicly executed. Which is our actual law. So that’s confusing

        I said justice would’ve seen Trump tried on January 7th and hung on January 8th. That got me a soft ban. Then I said kill all Nazis but six and save them for pallbearers. That got me a permaban. Tearing the bandaid off on 12 years of comments and posts hurt but so far I like the attitude of Lemmy a lot better. It feels like real conversation instead of just shitposting and trolling.

          Fun Fact: you should be wiping all comments and posts on every socmed platform at LEAST once a month.

          Which reminds me that I am overdue on THIS one.

    I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.

      Probably, yeah. I made new accounts often but my oldest would probably have been 2010. But I’ve given up once I found lemmy aside from occasionally going back to help people come over when I know reddit has further agitated its existing base.

    I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying “Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell” - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.

    That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.

      I did. I got banned for “Musk fuming is fatally toxic”. The platform is dead now. I bet he has good dirt on Huffman.

      I tested just writing “Luigi” and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what’s ok to say.

          I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.

          When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.

          When I hear of a Redditor be like this I yearn to do things…
          How much bullying at school must have taken place for someone to… no actually I remember there were people at school like this and this was the reason they were bullied in the first place

          Absolute losership of the highest order <spitting onomatopeia>

          Words cannot describe how subhuman Redditors are

          Orange sludge not even fit to lubricate the smallest gears of the society.

          Well anyway, one has to enjoy the great sunny weather today with bbq and sun baths on my summer property so that’s about the amount of attention this topic deserves.

              Well then have some modicum of self control and respect and do not fall straight into their stuff.

              Besides, it’s not even about karma you see. It’s just that these “people” if you can call them that, are most opinionated yet most moronic units you could ever come across.

              No sympathy for Redditors and their precious accounts

      If they didn’t leave after all the crap Reddit has pulled in the last year, they aren’t going anywhere.

        Reddit is solidly shitlib. They easily get more upset over policy than their own lack of influence over policy. These are people who think the elites care about petitions.

        Everything from the last year pointed to this, they just had to see it.
