    Same, I was banned for a BS reason. It seems like they are basically looking any for reason to ban leftists at this point, it doesnt even have to be justified

    I have so many bans on Reddit.

    I was banned from r/soapmaking for saying that people who buy soap made by other people, melt it, add perfume and trinkets, and pour it into moulds aren’t making soap, they’re doing arts and crafts. I raise the pigs, render the fat to make lard, and do the chemistry to turn it into soap. I make soap.

    I was banned from r/canada for wondering if Danielle Smith was going to pay the lunatic street preecher charged with violating Covid restrictions a conjugal visit, after she made a fawning phone call to him while he was on trial, when he was convicted and sentenced to jail.

    I was banned from r/Conservative for pointing out that the headlines that said that the DOJ had found massive voter fraud in Georgia was actually written by a Trump political appointee and contradicted the DOJ, the Republican Attorney General of the United States, the Republican Attorney General of Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State of Georgia, and Republican election officials from Georgia.

    I was banned from the Freedom Convoy sub for asking which constitutional rights had been taken away since the protesters had exercised their Section 2 rights to assemble, their Section 6 rights to cross interprovincial borders freely and that they were free to leave Canada if they could find any country that would take them and free to return if they quarantined, and that since none of them were vaccinated they had obviously exercised their Section 8 right not to receive the vaccine.

    Never, ever speak truth into an echo bunker.

      Yep my current account exists because when I got here, I said something that hurt a mod’s feelings, and so they decided to ban me across multiple communities. In the mod log, they even say “I need to cool down now” so it’s obvious it was an emotionally driven decision, but there was no reversing it.

      So I couldn’t post in LGBTQ, 196, and several others.

      Don’t hurt mod’s feelings.

        Those were all blahaj communities I’m guessing. Those guys are infamous for being soft or easily offended.

        I’ve had an altercation or two with their mods as well.

      not OP but for me, I was banned from /r/pics for criticizing Teslas or something. But the criticism was in a Tesla sub, so there was some cross cub BS happening there. And my criticism was factually correct. “They dont test their cars in rain or snow.”

      so im ok with that, and avoided posting or anything in /pics since its all BS and muted on my main account.

      however, I swapped to an alt for some maintanence/engagement. and There was a post that came up i thought was from /oldschool cool, and made some comment about it (nothing related to tesla), just supporting the image… turns out it was from /pics, and I got hit with ban evasion. and account loss.

      So stupid, that reddit pushed subs that you are banned from, if you dont activly mute them.

      so with that, reddit removed a 200k karma account over 15 years old. I moderated and contributed to some subs about a rare dissease, since that was my technical expertice in the real world, so its a loss to that community.

      overall that community can rot, under bot led admins

        Reddit is a shit corporation; the mods are arguably more shitty. They resort to shitty technology and IP bans to avoid having to pay for more admins.

        It was news to me when just a few days after my account got banned, everyone living in my apartment’s Reddit accounts also got banned for “ban evasion”.

        Sorry about your community. Maybe you can try recreating it here, although with less engagement

      I don’t know, lemmy’s equivalent of mods aren’t constantly taking Temu Hitlers cock out of their mouths to shut down any post that suggests that Nazis lives don’t matter, or the masked thugs tackling women holding children maybe aren’t entitled to keep all their blood in their bodies.

      Reddit is on a mission to shut down any talk of violence or harm unless it’s from a right wing source, then it’s a-ok.

      Except the “I think you should leave” subreddit mods - while every other sub was aggressively rolling out the “dead Nazi collaborator feelings protection squad”, that sub’s mods were dunking on a dead Nazi collaborator like they all should have been.

    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.

        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.

    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”.

      I wonder if it’s because Reddit is now a prime resource for AI scraping, and they don’t want it to repeat that anti-vaxxers should suffer more to their cooker clientele 🤔

        This is why you use AI to destroy AI.

        After I was perma-banned, I used a bot to re-open my past posts and replace my original content with AI generated garbage.

        Salt the fields upon which AI grows.
