    As am I. Apparently the Zionists subreddit mods don’t like it when you compare Israeli propaganda to Nazi propaganda.

      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!

        Inciting violence was the reason given for me too. Challenging Nazis is violent to them. Don’t let them normalize this idiocy.

      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.

    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.

    Reddit is going crazy with the bans. A perma ban can result from something as simple as saying something like “I hope the consequences of not vaccinating are more deeply suffered by anti-vaxxers than by people who are not vaxxed from an allergy or something”. After all, that constitutes “hoping for violence/death”.

    Someone wished Trump would die of disease (and didn’t get banned), I wish him a long life and lots of suffering from disease so reddit banned me for advocating for violence (they’d been targeting me)

    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.

          the isrealis have doubled down on their efforts to control social media like the US empire controls legacy media and we’re now seeing the fruits of that labor.

              The ruling class is using Israel who are using the IDF who are using isrealis who are being used by Americans for profits… It’s like inception except we can all see it happening

      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!

    I got banned for telling a legit Nazi to fuck himself up the ass with a cactus, no lube.

    Banned for threatening violence and hate speech apparently.

      Yeah, my initial main account ban was because I said “if you try to have a monkey as a pet, you deserve to be bitten by it” on a video of a guy who had a monkey ripping shit up in his apartment and that bites him on the hand at one point.

      That apparently counts as inciting violence rather than y’know implying that people shouldn’t own fucking monkeys which I felt was pretty clear given the context.

      Evidently my angry sounding unban request was not well received.

        Depends on your instance and the community you’re posting in.

        For example, on lemmy.world a user might get warned or banned for openly celebrating the shooting of Brian Thompson. (I forget exactly where they draw the line, but it’s an “advocating violence” thing)

        Or here, a user on lemmy.ml might get banned for bigoted statements, even normal things that plenty of people don’t even notice are bigoted because it’s “common sense” in their own country.

        But you’ve got to be pretty damn intolerable to get banned from more than a few instances. Like, actual Nazism.

        I said I was my kids landlord in the wrong thread and got banned for 30+ days because I was evil landlord. Trust me my kids are quite happy with how cheep their rent is.

    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.
