r/Art has quietly gone into lockdown and is no longer accepting submissions after mods began facing severe blowback for banning @haydclay for mentioning the word “print” on the subreddit.
I don’t think Lemmy is any better. The other day, a Lemmy moderator didn’t like a video I shared about the potential collapse of the US and banned me from eight communities. As far as I know, the video wasn’t even AI-generated, so I don’t know where he got that idea from.
This is the video in question, yes? Any time-stamp I go to is an AI-generated image.
OP is hawking AI art “prints” on an art subreddit.
It’s weird but I’m with the reddit mod on this one, lmao.
Where did you get that from? I got that story from twitter and it doesn’t say anything about AI anywhere.
ahhh the truth comes out… ‘why can’t I spam my ai-shitstream to your sub? ugh, power trippin bastards!’
But that’s not what OP did at all? The truth didn’t come out, Chloroken hair made something up.
ESH

Everyone sucks here
Where does it say any of that?
I made a comment on one sub that broke a vague rule that they deemed inappropriate… (something to the effect of making your comments tactful)
When asking about their decision and defending my comment they banned me from all the subreddits they modded.
I was a user for 14 years… Haven’t been back to Reddit since. ✌🏼
Yeah I just lurk at Reddit and do my engaging here. Too many power addicted mods, and a worsening foreign influence problem.
Not that we’re immune here, but it’s been a LOT more enjoyable to engage here than Reddit.
Reddit really hates it when you discuss how much drugs Elon takes
I do the opposite. Since I mostly engage with niche communities, I mostly engage on Reddit.

if you think lemmy is different, you are sorely mistaken. kids on power trip are the same everywhere, regardless of platform.
Yea but on lemmy you can see who silenced and wrongfully banned who, easily, right from the removed comment.
Good luck doing that on reddit.
The same, my ass. I haven’t yet been banned here for calling bullshit bullshit.
They literally said this in the post
I think they added that after this comment was made, judging by the post times.
the difference is that there are other duplicate communities on other lemmy instances that you can join to get your content while reddit only has that one subreddit.
Kids or poorly socialised adults?
You might be right, but remember some of your bans were well deserved as you massively trolled us
i have no idea wtf you are and i am pretty sure i never “massively trolled” anyone. are you confused? did i just get personal stalker? :D
I loved pissing off the actual public freak out mods. I never broke the rules just went against their personal politics
I can attest to that. Mods can be furious if something goes against their views, even on lemmy.
I had a case where the mod locked down a whole post and comment section because of this. At the end the mod published a comment which essentially was just them bitching.
Pretty much convinces me that rules are just weapons for those in power to exert on their subordinates or subreddit users.
My last message to them was that they are a part of cancel culture and should pro free speech, and undo my ban and issue an apology for power tripping.
I’m fine with them being the king of their domain and kicking me out, but it’s fun to tear into them for being irrational and losing their shit over me defending victims or whatever.
Typical reddit moderator being a power hungry bastard.
It’s not a Reddit problem, it’s a human one. Like you also commented it happens here too.
I’m not sure if I’m ahead of the game having left reddit entirely before I could get banned from anything, or if I’m missing out on a core cultural experience.
Would you like for us to “yell at you, tell you that your stupid & that you in the wrong subreddit?” That, is what your missing out on! Not much.
Reddit mods are power hungry assholes. This one specifically too. But you also broke the rules of the sub. When I was a mod of a small sub having to handle all sorts of people giving me attitude, I wasn’t paid enough for it.
You weren’t like “oh sorry, I didn’t understand replying to questions with info about my work broke rule 9”. You were more like “how dare you”.
It’s someone from twitter called Hayden Clay @haydclay
I got permabanned from !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world for asking about the rules in the sticky thread for questions about the rules. Reddit power-tripping mods suck, but we should also be wary about tolerating the same sort of mentality here.
I just looked out of curiosity and I get it, tbh, though you should probably have been given more notice before a temp ban, not a permaban off the bat. You seem to me like you don’t want to follow the rule regarding religion. I’m not trying to start shit, but it’s not a very pleasant set of interactions that follow, and that’s probably not what the mods are looking for.
Being upset about a rule and refusing to follow it are entirely different things, whether the mod understands that or not.
The motherfucker banned me preemptively for something he thought I might do. Not only were there not escalating consequences for multiple offenses (as any reasonable moderation standards would have), there wasn’t even a first offense!
r/art is the worst lol
They banned one dude and then a bunch of us for saying
Classic Reddit moment
It’s just a terrible subreddit to begin with. The artwork is all shit and uninspiring stuff you would see from a teenager. I’ll be the first to admit i have no artistic ability, but all the posts were just the portfolio of high schoolers
I wonder why that could be… Surely the rules & mods being obnoxious has nothing to do with it.
Art has been one of the most ban happy subs since forever. The only major one I was ever banned from
Some people would derive real psychiatric benefit from just one haymaker straight to the goddamn mouth
I don’t know, surely GOP supporter is more embarrassing ??
that’s just a reddit mod in a different font
