Honestly, I’d be interested to hear about your adventures.

I made a random comment about a movie’s premiere date on r/FauxMoi without realizing that FauxMoi had blocked my old reddit account years ago. (I have absolutely no clue why FauxMoi blocked my first account.) Reddit viewed me using a new account to comment on FauxMoi as “ban evasion” and now I’m perma-banned from reddit. I received no warning, no notice, I had no idea I was even banned from commenting on FauxMoi.
Every time I make a new account, regardless of the email or where I make the account, the ban follows me. I tried to explain the mistake, that I hadn’t realized my old reddit account was banned from FauxMoi and that I’d take down my (perfectly innocuous, on-topic) comment. Nope. They didn’t care. I’m just fucked. Thanks mods at FauxMoi, hope yalls choke.
It’s a familiar situation, but I didn’t last long on Reddit. My first account was banned after a few months because of one picture.
Although I’m not entirely sure. I also made a scandalous revelation and people were unhappy.
What was the picture of?
I left when they killed Apollo and third party apps altogether. The only way I viewed Reddit was through that app, so Reddit was dead to me at that point. I used a tool that edited all of my old comments, deleted my 10-year-old+ account and left forever.
Thankfully lemmy doesn’t have thought crime and your welcome to engage in good faith discussion of any topic.

Well, except for a couple weirdos that have gone ban happy upon those who dared to downvote even a single post they made.
I got banned from a bunch of subreddits by making one comment in Asmingold…and it was a comment against. Then got sent this pm saying if you delete your comment and apologize we will reconsider you. I told em to fuck off I’ll speak how I like. Censorship is censorship. Wasn’t long before I deleted all my posts and comments on by one manually and killed off my 14 year old account.
I belive they called it “advocating violence”
On a video of an ICE agent, jumping out of his civilian vehicle and pointing an automatic weapon At some people, I simply suggested that it would be hilarious if someone jumped in his car and drove it away. He left the driver door wide open, and I seriously doubt he took his keys with him. I just thought it would be funny to see him react to that. It wasn’t a permaban, but it was enough to get me to jump ship.
Every time I think it was a long vague stretch to fit whatever rule they told me I broke.
I didn’t. I left when they killed RiF
They killed Apollo in cold blood!
Amen
Same, sad they killed rif but at least it pushed me to lemmy
I said billionaires should be put to the guillotine.
Honesty can be deadly. :3
Same
I asked why the CIA hadn’t killed Trump yet. That, and upvoting a comment of a user who later got banned, got me banned.
I was added to a moderation list on Bluesky for following someone on Twitter and subsequently muting them, and then forgetting I had followed them when I used a tool to migrate all of my follows to Bluesky. Which is just a stupid mistake, but what about people who are following notable bigots because they’re journalists and have to keep tabs on what they say?
Being banned for upvoting someone’s comment seems similarly tunnel-visioned. If you’re upvoting their pun about the moon or their helpful cooking suggestion or their computer build tip, getting banned because you didn’t check their entire post history before upvoting is absolutely insane to me.
Guilt by association is only a thing if it’s actually association.
For this photo:
how do I report this
I got permabanned for saying billionaires deserve death one too many times.
They got very strict on “person a can die in a fire” that seemed to be a new rule. Once you are on the radar with this, it’s a matter of time.
Oh yeah. I got a temp ban for saying the above and then got 2 more strikes for just saying the word “violence” which resulted in my permaban.
My only site ban (which I got overturned eventually) was from commenting in agreement with a post of a woman wearing a shirt that said “Punch a Nazi.” It was shortly after that, that I came here and haven’t looked at Reddit since.
I honestly don’t know. It was a relatively clean account. Then my friend, who is a redditor by heart, got banned. It looks like he was banned just because he was associated with me. And now, if we make new accounts, they get instantly deleted. I don’t care because I moved to Lemmy a “long” time ago. But my friend is heartbroken.
Yeah… We’re waaaaaay better over here on Lemmy…
Better. Not way better.
There’s a certain degree of toxicity and messiness that simply comes with interacting with the general public. I’m not sure how one can build a system open to people, yet simultaneously not open to flawed people.
I dunno, if this meme (all be it humorously) is accusing the Reddit user base of having a thoughtpolice that does insinuate quite a large sense of superiority which is just absolute pack mentality. Lemmy is almost exactly and fundamentally synonymous to Reddit, hence a lot of people moved over to Lemmy after the end of third party app support.
So the only real argument one could make in pointing out the positive difference between the two. Is that the users of Lemmy may have a bigger hatred towards capitalism or think user support is more important than habitual comforts.
Lemmy hasn’t yet calcified from corporate takeover, this makes it similar to younger reddit, and I argue better.
I blocked all the tattler bots and a bunch of the witch hunters on AHS. Then I spoke my right leaning mind. Shortly after made a bunch of pro-Luigi jokes.
