Me, who only made an account because I was banned from Reddit and has no idea how Fediverse stuff works: whistles nervously

[–] tsukii@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meanwhile I fled to Lemmy from Reddit because I need a place to show art without being under some platform whose vision and actions I don't support

[–] noodles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pixelfed is viable option too, i would love to see your art there!

[–] On@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

you should be able to follow him from pixelfed. that's kind of a point of fediverse.

Banned from Reddit? What’d you do, tell Spez to go fuck himself?

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I told him to fuck himself plenty and never even got aknowlaged

[–] Airazz@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's often enough to say a bad word about russians and you get permabanned.

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced that, and there’s whole, major subreddits basically dedicated to doing just that..

[–] Sjoerd1993@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?

[–] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Said that I would murder andrew tate is given the opportunity and apparently that counts as a credible threat of violence

[–] escaped_cruzader@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is very violent phrasing and you only deem it ok because it's geared toward the "right kind of people"

I'm fine with that

[–] Sjoerd1993@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Would that even count as a crime in the first place? Interesting either way, didn’t expect that would trigger a ban on the website.

Again, can totally see that happening on a sub, but giving the amount of vile that has been given a free platform on the site I didn’t think they’d bother.

I got banned once for telling an absolute cunt that she was one in "am I the asshole."

[–] paciencia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

wtf thats literally the point of the sub

[–] cool@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You better to stop telling your federal offenses on lemmy lol

[–] dylpickles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Boooo I disagree tell more

A popular french redditor who had a fun passion fir road signage got banned from reddit to state in a right-wing reddit (/r/europe) about the riots in France, that sometimes you only get progress through violence. He was banned for promoting violence.

Commenting "GUILLOTINE!" at some political news was likely considered promoting violence enough so that the /r/france mods got instructions from reddit mods.

I feel like this happened because of the Jan 6th coup attempt in Washington. I totally understand their position, but it is a bit tiring that Americans believe that their own political mindset of the moment is universal. France has far more legal restrictions on free speech yet it feels like American media censor themselves much more.

They ban people very selectively and its always ideologically motivated. There was a period of time where you would get a 3-day ban for just upvoting the wrong posts. So you could lurk and still get banned for some reason. That happened to me multiple times before I decided to delete my account.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you have my attention, which wrong posts did you upvote?

[–] itchychips@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I downvoted an unpopular admin comment once and got suspended for 3 days for "brigading". It was in the negative thousands.

Nevermind I went to the subreddit for announcements, found that heavily downvoted comment, thought it added nothing to the discussion, because it was fundamentally ridiculous in my mind, and they determined that those actions constituted "brigading".

[–] piezzo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

i guess most of us dont know a lot about the whole fediverse stuff. but the longer you are here, the more you will learn about it. so far, it's pretty interesting!

[–] herrwoland@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
