Memes

Welcome in! Enjoy your stay.

All I'll say is that Lemmy is smaller than Reddit, so naturally a lot of convos default to politics and tech.

Because of that though, you'll be exposed to potentially new ideas regarding both. So be open minded! But also know that you can block users, communities, and instances if you find them unbearable.

Cheers

I got a temp ban from reddit. Not cool enough, apparently.

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

And in the end it wasn't even really anything I said as much as the autoflag got my ass for posting on a temp account in a sub that banned my main account. Caught a perma ban for all my accounts with that shit.

All because I originally said I hoped Elon overd*sed. (don't wanna be banned from here too so censor it is.) They're especially sensitive to that one in the Vancouver subreddit I guess for obvious reasons if you know about Vancouver.

You might wanna try out the sorting "scaled" when browsing "all" to find new communities (or check out every c/newcommunity that interests you)

But warning: scaled in all can have a lot of porn if you have nsfw on

I write some bad word about Andrew tate House and get all my accounts band in one day . Fuck Reddit

mfw people think lemmy is a free safe space until they discover the biggest instance admins are mostly intolerant, impulsive manchilds UwU

My bans came from me saying that Israel is committing genocide and that Netenyahu needs to be tried and hanged for his crimes.

You don't even need to say something, just become a "security risk" to them by using uBlock Origin to block their trackers. In other words, how I personally got banned. Anyway, welcome to Lemmy!

I got a 3-day ban recently for a call to action and plea to arm up and overthrow Trump. (Something along the lines of "We should do as some of our founding fathers intended and arm ourselves to deal with this tyranny")

Fuck reddit. Zionist fascsist infested shithole

Me too. I commented on a post about a shooting and sarcastically asked how folks were going to blame it on trans people this time. Permabanned!

Welcome to the family! There are literally 10s of us!

I got banned in a subreddit because I said FB dude got a penis transplant from a rat

Lost track of my reddit bans. Really lost track of my subreddit bans. I really stacked them up late 2023.

How do you guys even get banned? I'm straight up posting AI-generated suicide instructions nowadays, and I get more engagement and less shadow removals than I had before.

The censorship has gone mad on Reddit. I was a user there before the whole Digg migration, and it's been such a wonderful ride. It had to end at some point, though.

I'm just at a point where it's genuinely impossible to have a conversation there without having your comments removed, the thread locked, or downvoted to oblivion for not joining in to whatever the masses are yapping about.

Less of a town square and more of a mob of idiots surrounded by bots.

What was the reason though? Personally I never used Reddit. So I don't know about them

I was banned for a while, saying that NATO countries should declare war on Russia and kill Putin. That was a political news Reddit, and the topic was about Russia's Shadow Fleets and sabotage operations. War, the consideration and advocation, is an inherently political thing.

Reddit would say that Churchill wanting to fight Nazi Germany is advocating for violence. While technically true, it misses the fact that sometimes words cannot broker peace nor civility.

Welcome brother! Or sister... Or non-binary memelord... Uwu....

It's not really that much better here. People jumping the gun constantly.

I’ve been banned from a community on here before because I’m sure someone misread my comment.

My comment was clearly aligned with everyone else on the post, but I still got banned and mods did not respond to my messages about getting unbanned.
