Honestly, I’d be interested to hear about your adventures.
I’ve actually never been banned on Reddit for anything, anywhere. I’ve always been careful of where I went and what I interacted with there. I only just recently deleted my Reddit account, because I stopped using it long before I got myself setup on Lemmy. I’ve been on a roll of abandoning the “big” platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X) and replacing them with decentralized services. Reddit is just my most recent example.
I just nuked my account and fecked off to Lemmy after the API kill.
Linked that Bill Hicks standup routine where he encourages marketers to kill themselves. Must have hit too close to home for some loser admin who nuked my account for inciting violence.
Remember when Elon Musk had that black eye and said his son punched him? I said “can’t blame him”. Which is, of course, glorifying violence.
I belive they called it “advocating violence”
Banned for going after Israel and IDF shills promoting hate speech and calling for violence. Clear violations of the TOS, even back in 2023, but reporting it got me perma-banned after 13 years.
Heroes, as always, are not respected, but eliminated.
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 didn’t. I left when they killed RiF
Amen
They killed Apollo in cold blood!
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.
I got blocked from the subreddit I created because I made it private due to the API debacle and refused to make it public until they undid the decision.
Lol I recently had a comment removed from the bogleheads subreddit because some guy was talking about buying a bit more of their usual index fund purchases if the market were to dump 20% in a day. Someone asked how they’d do it and I said “probably just shift a bit from emergency fund and build it back over the next month or two.”
Cue the True Bogleheads ripping me for suggesting “timing the market.” I said “this is, of course, fine.” And they went nuclear. That comment got removed and I replied to the mod with “You got your head pretty far up your bogle there, bud.” That got me a 3 day full reddit ban. Worth it.
For the uninitiated, bogleheads are basically just adherents to a popular passive investing philosophy. I agree completely with it, but it was hilarious to me how dogmatic - borderline religious - they were about “timing the market” with zero nuance or recognition that it’s just not that serious.
Multiple reasons really, one of which was telling a guy who wanted to put low IQ people in concentration camps “you first”.
I posted a picture of the non existent genitals of a Ken doll with the caption, “Elon’s Penis,” In political humor.
I got permabanned for saying billionaires deserve death one too many times.
I told homophobes they were pieces of shit and got permabanned for it
Well, that was pretty insulting to pieces of shit…
