i need to know
Both. I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was in quotation marks and everything.
I made a new account and was banned a month later for being racist. It was on a video of a train and I said something like ‘why did I feel when that started like some Indian guy was going to die foolishly?’
Racist, apparently.
Oh yeah, that’s insane. One sub’s mod banned me because someone was confused over an “F word” someone else was being ambiguous about. I educated them with “I believe they mean “faggot”.” Lol I took that bait but I believe education and strong community spirit is more important than bending the knee to excessive censorship.
I got admin banned for saying riot police should quit en masse after RvW. The thread was full of right wingers so the topmost comments were sexist as shit. Half the thread got banned.
The people on Lemmy make Reddit users look good. Seriously people here are mean as shit. At least on Resdit mean comments are usually downvoted.
That’s surprising to me. I’ve had the opposite experience, only encountering one butthead (who had plenty of downvotes).
I hope your experience improves, I rather like it here
Which communities do you mostly comment on? I’m probably just commenting on shitty ones. Lemmy shitpost and asklemmy are absolute dogshit.
Honestly I just browse all and comment here and there, nothing too specific
I’ve had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I’ve had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I’m still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media
I’ve never been permanently banned from Reddit but I have been shadow banned before on multiple occasions because I tried stopping people from spreading misinformation. But that wasn’t the main reason as there were several other reasons I left Reddit. I’ve been using Lemmy for about 4 years now and I have no intentions of ever going back to Reddit.
I’ve been banned for saying pro luigi or similar stuff, but since I am not attached to my account I just make a new one. The most annoying part of getting banned is just resubbing to your preferred subreddits. I prefer lemmy now days anyway and it is nice to see familiar usernames now and then and I don’t get as annoyed seeing constant liberalism. I still use Reddit for some things like really niche subjects, questions, or hobbies and people can be genuinely helpful in some subreddits ngl.
I also find the moderation here to be much fairer and more protective of vulnerable groups.
I came here when they made the API changes. I made the right choice. Rn Lemmy doesn’t offer the variety and volume of content that Reddit did, but fuck those guys.
I like Lemmy more.
Reddit sucks, it’s getting worse day after day. I’m still there, but moving to Lemmy.
I just like lemmy more and the community around it just seems much more bearable. I don’t constatly think I hate lemmings like I thought about redditors when I was on reddit.
Wasn’t banned, just abandoned my account around 8 years ago.
I like lemmy more. There is no real permaban on reddit btw. I’ve been “permabanned” like 20 times on there
for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.
Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.
Left due to the API stuff due to Apollo getting axed. Loved that Christian recorded their calls and exposed how crappy they were for blaming things on him. Fun drama, but I left and never looked back.
It’s still a bit of an echo chamber of sheep in here but I haven’t really tried different servers to find like minded ppl. I like the mod of the server I’m on and that’s cool for me for now.
