Ask Lemmy

I got banned from reddit and then i got banned here

Came here originally for a pirate community in dbzero, mistakenly joined .ml, then finally joined World. Maybe PieFed is next, who knows. Never let them know your next move.

I kind of stopped actively using Reddit in 2020, but without engaging actively in an alternative. Then the API debacle happened, so I registered a kbin account, when that died down (RIP Ernest) I moved here.

A lot.

Left around the API drama times. I still visit, but haven't posted anything for two years.

My only regret is that I still haven't defaced my profile over there - I'm looking for ways to save my data and somehow link it to the original posts/comments, because besides the shitposting, I've posted some things that could be useful to myself too.

I came hoping for more intelligent content and less middle-schoolish "I hate and if you don't hate it enough too you're EVIL!"

Found pretty much the same level of that, but I do like the UI better.

First I was temporarily banned. Then, permanently banned. They would not even display the comments in question which led to my exile. Toxic power tripping MF’s all up in it over there.

Me, I'm getting constantly banned from r/Europe by this moronic mods.

Banned by writing about that Germany never paid anything to Poland for holocaust of Polish citizens

I'm reading worldnews rules on Lemmy. There should be lax rules, no ban whatsoever - only for pedophilia and obvious crime like drugs, terrorism, videos of murders

Making a conscious decision to leave social media that’s controlled by big companies that only exist to milk people for money. I’m tired of things being great until they’re not. Reddit is a cash cow for user data and it’s so full of bots and disinformation campaigns now.

I immediately noticed people are nicer here. I think a lot of it is that these are real people and not bots who are programmed to be argumentative.

Two years ago. Haven't looked back. Much

I came here after deciding to quit reddit. I'm Canadian. I had no problems with reddit other than Trump's threats to annex (invade) Canada. I'm also joining my national brothers and sisters in the tariff boycotts.

I was permanently banned on Reddit June 2024 because I said I hoped the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus.

Yeah, got a few temp bans for talking about shitler/muskrat and they perma-banned my account for "harassment". The post they linked me to didn't even link to a comment; it wasn't something I remember posting on.

I was getting tired of the culture over there anyway. I was also tired of arguing with conservatives who think their shit doesn't stink and regurgitate Fox News talking points about the "illegals" and ICE.

A lot, the question is when.
The first wave has been getting banned since the US regime took control over it in the person of Jessica Ashoosh (2016).
And a whole lot more since the genocide in Palestine.
The slightest criticism was enough.

So I have my doubts on the large group of libs that only got banned since Trump.
They didn't care about anything but themselves and only what their government now does to them.
They are perfectly fine going back to a nice 'democratic' fascist-lite regime that only terrorises other countries while they live in their bubble.
