I got permabanned a couple weeks ago for saying "the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi"

Like, why are you defending Nazis, spez? Huh?

It solidified Lemmy as my permanent reddit replacement. No ragrets.

He’s defending Nazis because the president and “prime minister” are overt Nazis.

I got permabanned for reporting hateful comments on a r/conservative post that was glorifying Nazis a few weeks ago. No warning. Been on Reddit for over a decade without causing any problems. Sounds like Reddit as a corporation has picked a side

If you post on r/conservative they will actually stalk you and look through your posts to report stuff ... but you report them and that is ok.

They picked a side when they let a bunch of fash shit slide on T_D in the run up to 2016. No surprise though-- tech bros rarely have a working moral compass

and they allow r/conservative constantly hit the front page now, when it almost never did prior to the election.,

And it’s so much worse now with how many sub comments and posts that sub has. It’s painfully obvious they’ve replaced even the most devout users with autogenerated agenda posts. That place is some of the most obvious propaganda I’ve seen on the internet

same thing happened to me, but on a different sub. "they said report abuse is not allowed" so i was temp ban on a technology sub, funny enough. and it just triggered a full sitewide ban for all my other accts with little warning.(im pretty sure the temp suspension was going to get perma banned down the line, because i heard other used got banned sitewide after thier temp ban ended for no reason at all, which was caused by an error on thier part which they refused to do anything.) basically if you been temp banned the filters on subs dont reset so it detects you as a ban evader if you comment on the sub again, even if you are in the clear.

alSO IF the mod doesnt like you reporting someone they will lecture you and ban you for "report abuse".

i found out mods do not want to deal with large query of "reports" from users so they get lazy and they autoban, or ban people just to not have to do anything about the person being reported. in case the accts gets a repeal, they will make an excuse up to admins why they banned someone.

I got banned a few weeks back for an anti-trump post.

That account was 11 years old and I was very active over those years. But nope. Don't talk smack about the orange god.

It solidified Lemmy as my permanent reddit replacement. No ragrets.

100% agree

reddit has been sliding right wing for a while, 90% of the posts are about trump, and not really the important things hes doing behind the scenes, just "reaction posts" of trumps gaffes. reddit is also sustaining X social media too with thier posts.

I got permabanned like two years ago for quoting “eat the rich” by Aerosmith. Also suggesting we should eat the rich. Several times. They also permabanned everyone on my wifi. I did the entire household a service.

I use 4G for my home internet, my IP address changes so frequently. Always thought IP bans were kinda dumb, certainly permanent ones. Maybe throw a week long one on so they don't immediately create a new account but past that their address has almost certainly changed.
