Also hi there I’m new here
My bans came from me saying that Israel is committing genocide and that Netenyahu needs to be tried and hanged for his crimes.
Maybe it’s just me, but no matter what the ban was for (I’m very aware Reddit is going ban-crazy and has just been shit in general,) I feel it’s a bad omen that one community (connected communities, fediverse, what have you) is being largely inhabited by people banned from other communities.
reddit bans people for saying things like “isreal shouldn’t be genociding the gazans”
I don’t disagree, but it depends on the reason. Getting banned for calling out Zionism, or for being a leftist in general? Great! Come to Lemmy!
Hey, hope you enjoy! Been here a couple years myself and enjoy it a lot more than Reddit, though I was never banned from it.
I got perm banned for saying on a post about Nazis in South Dakota gathered on the Capitol steps, I said I was in the mood to punch some Nazis in the face. Reddit can suck it.
I got banned for “threatening violence” for joking that Ryan Routh should get some help aiming for the neck from Tyler James Robinson.
No sense of humor…
You might wanna try out the sorting “scaled” when browsing “all” to find new communities (or check out every c/newcommunity that interests you)
But warning: scaled in all can have a lot of porn if you have nsfw on
You can also just use an instance that defederates from porn, so NSFW can just be for shocking or otherwise violent things.
mfw people think lemmy is a free safe space until they discover the biggest instance admins are mostly intolerant, impulsive manchilds UwU
I got banned for calling an antivaxxer a waste of oxygen :3
Well, statistically they’ll use less oxygen than the rest of us, to be fair.
I got a 3-day ban recently for a call to action and plea to arm up and overthrow Trump. (Something along the lines of “We should do as some of our founding fathers intended and arm ourselves to deal with this tyranny”)
Tried to get that point across to someone and they thought it was about how guns are used in self defense. How i learned there was a sub dedicated to cheering people shooting others in the name of self defense
Reddit: By Bots; For Bots.
It’s not really that much better here. People jumping the gun constantly.
Depends on the instance really.
What got you banned? I said mean things about Elon Musk.
I got banned for saying in a Captain America thread that I’d love to see a version of the classic Captain America comic book cover where Cap punches Trump intead of Hitler.
I was apparently inciting violence.
Praise the fediverse!
Rules for thee, not for me.
The Right can incite violence and engage in cruelty against their targets of oppression and opposition, consequence free, both online and offline. Meanwhile, the Left isn’t even allowed to publically speak our thoughts and belief in numerous circles and places and even our supposed “allies” (aka, the average working class protester) typically push us down and suppress us because “violence is bad :(”.
Reddit is such a weird place. A lot of left-leaning people are still on there, even though spez worships Elon and even named Elon as the “inspiration” for all the stupid shit he did to Reddit.
As am I. Apparently the Zionists subreddit mods don’t like it when you compare Israeli propaganda to Nazi propaganda.
Same for the comm mods here
You’re not supposed to compare apples to other very similar apples. It upsets people.
i like the type of person coming here because of that. welcome to lemmy, we have memes too.
Well yea, because it’s cute when they do it.
Yay, I’m not alone! Sarcastically pointing out that Israel has a right to unalive and fondle American children is frowned upon.
Reddit is nearly 100% AI bots these days on the popular subs. You’re good to get away. The interface over here is shite and takes forever to figure out, but the people are nice.
Except me. I’m evil.
Hi evil, I’m dad
Never heard of him
Can I have 20 bucks?
Go ask your mother
It’s always good to keep your options open. The fediverse has set up guardrails to prevent things from happening here that have already happened out there but anything can fail. I myself have an account on ramble if shit goes bad here. Always have an escape route. Have no loyalty, that will be abused.
Yo, this place is dope, fuck reddit
