Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.
All these Reddit bans I’m seeing are insane. At this rate, soon most of that site is actually going to be bots lol
Nice permanent ban!
I left for much less; A 24-hour suspension. Though to be honest, that was literally just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I got suspended for using the word “retard” in a scientifically and non-offensive context (ex: put bread in the fridge to retard the growth of mold). No way to appeal that obviously retar-- ridiculous decision.
I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.
Still trying appeals but not optimistic.
Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.
… Im so bitter.
Now I’m bitter for you too.
Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?
I’ve been reporting people that hint at violence after I got banned for something that was 1000% not even close to a hint at political violence… like not even being sarcastic. Anyway, the more banned the more people leave. Silver linings. Reddit era deserves to be over.
AI… And they’ll be the users too!
Now create another account and repeat the same steps until they ban your IP
You get an achievement for that? Cuz I’m eligible.
Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it’s surreal.
It’s always been like that. They’re parasite - they ruin the thing they latch on to, then they jump ship with fat stacks of cash and move on to the next product to kill.
Still on Reddit? Use a comment and post wiper now, before you get banned.
I use this it doesn’t work. In the sense that, to you your post may seem gone. But Reddit can and will restore them.
I use this exact tool when I left Reddit. They restored my posts.
What opinion got you banned?
Perhaps a comment about Louie G.
Funny thing, I’ve been calling him Manny G
That’s perfect. The more aliases, the better
OP conveniently omitting that detail suggests that popcorn may be in order.
I said billionaires and oligarchs should be luigi’d.
I don’t want to doubt OP too hard, but yea, at least tell us what you said so we are not blindly siding with you
I agree with applying healthy skepticism to any and all stories. At the same time, I can’t blame a recent Reddit refugee for not fully trusting Lemmy yet. They don’t know the environment here. It makes sense for someone to be apprehensive about repeating a thing that just got them banned somewhere else.
But I hope OP feels comfortable enough here to share their story some day.
Probably just practical observations for how to improve things
Or just expressing his love for a certain Super Mario Brother.
I got a warning for upvoting a Luigi post (or a post that reddit deemed as “wrongthink”), the bot didn’t say which sub or post that triggered it so it’s kind of impossible to say for sure or even avoid getting banned from upvoting something they don’t like.
Or a racist and violent tirade.
They’re all just baseless theories until they reveal what they actually said.
Does Reddit ban for racism ?
only if you upvote something that might condone violence against racists
Honestly, I shouldn’t still be pissed about my ban but I can’t help it.
I was on reddit for over 10 years with millions of fake internet points
Sitewide banned me for no discernable reason
It’s been a couple of months and they still haven’t even bothered to respond to my appeal
Now that I see how reddit’s going down the tube, I don’t even care if they respond at this point
I’m done with it
Same here. No reason. No response. Fuck those guys. And fuck Spez.
Man… I wen’t through so many permas on reddit. I am so happy that the alternative is forming
We’ve been here for a few years, but we’re grateful to have new people!
It was either you or Tildes.
I went with Tildes originally, but their admirable effort to only encourage long-form discussion works against growing a user base to be anything more than a Petri dish; people need those fast dopamine hits!
…that and they’re invite only.
Ready for the explosion of users! I hope Lemmy is ready as well.
My account was 17 years old when I was banned without explanation.
I have said some wild stuff and never been permabanned. What did you post?
It was what I upvoted not what I posted.
Kinda nice to get banned though. I was banned from xitter for liking a comment critical of the muskman, it really helped reinforce that I needed to be done with that place though. Maybe I’ll move on from Reddit before that happens…
My account was 11 years old when I left. Destroyed all my data, thank you very much
the data is not destroyed, it is only you that doesn’t have access anymore… i am sure you can still buy the data from reddit
Once you’re banned, do your previous posts and comments get deleted? Or do you just lose access to them?
You just lose access
You can still browse and your comments still remain up. But you can no longer post or comment further. I’ll still get upvotes / replies to old comments. I just can’t respond
Don’t be distressed about it, dad. You’re here now. You’re safe.
Thanks for clarifying!
