Except the obvious fuck spez / steve huffman stuff, what are the things that get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances Lemmy?

Specifically, I want to know where is the line drawn, regarding the recent NYC Shooting incident involving the corporate shithead.

    I’d argue there’s a lot of similarities, since most people left due to Spez and the IPO. I left when Spez and co fucked over the Apollo app dev.

    This excludes the tankie instances. I saw a lot of “death to Israel” and other shit before I filtered those instance that would probably have gotten them nuked on reddit. Stuff like that will be the main differences. Here there isn’t any worry about how marketable the platform is to advertisers. Which is mostly a good thing.

    Got a recent one for you. I was permabanned from reddit a month ago for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, because Liz Cheney is a warhawk who has called for bombing millions of people.

    Banned for “glorifying violence,” not because I agreed with it or endorsed it. Just for saying I didn’t care.

    They even banned an alt I used for work stuff, just for being associated with the main account. Ban upheld on appeal.

      I don’t agree but I see the reasoning. They are gonna lose advertisers if they allow anything like that on their site. Especially if its a US politician. “I don’t care if putin gets shot” might not have gotten you a ban, but a US politician definitely is gonna get a ban, since reddit is a US company.

        No. Maybe there’s some indirect concern about advertisers, but it’s mostly narrative control and propaganda.

        Look at this recent ceo shooting. The rich know they have to convince us that their lives matter more, and that we have to consider them untouchable. It’s how they maintain their position and protect themselves from accountability from their own evil & violence.

          Look at this recent ceo shooting.

          • Reddit is a corporation with a CEO

          • The CEO doesn’t like seeing members of his own social class being shot

          • Reddit users cheer death of a CEO

          • Reddit CEO gets scared like a bitch and start ban hammering

            Hahaha. No. No one is calling for the execution of social media executives. It’s to protect his fellow rich people from having their monopoly on violence challenged.

    Reddit doesn’t need a reason to ban you. It can be anything because they function on arbitrary laws known only to themselves.

          There was no exact comment. I was banned from every top-level news sub for calling out the disproportionate reaction from Israel becoming a genocide. That was back in December last year. Their official reason for site banning me was “abuse of the report tool” because I was reporting everyone calling all Palestinians terrorists and/or advocating for their collective deaths. Advocating violence is against Reddit’s ToS, except if it’s Pro-Israel violence.

    A tongue in cheek comment encouraging killing someone who’s a danger to others.

      I haven’t visited reddit aside from the stray search result or very niche question every few months (no general browsing or any contributing since I made this account), you really can’t post archive links? Why? DMCA BS?

        I once got banned from a community for sharing a zelda decompilation project on archive.org. Others have reported issues with reddit and banning people for sharing nintendo power magazines. Fun times.

        Modern day internet, you can talk about things, but you have to talk around certain companies, like nintendo or else risk getting banned/taken down. But with the fediverse, i can own more of the system. If world ever goes down, I can still use my personal instance to communicate for instance.

      Maybe you were in some seriously shady subs with pimple nosed little snotbags acting as mod, but none of this was ever a problem for me in the subs I frequented.

    I got perma-banned for condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Several mods accused me of being an alt-right neo Nazi MAGA cultist. 🙄

    Bro, genocide is bad no matter who is doing it.

    Apparently not advocating for spreading knowledge of jury nullification. Lemmy.World is (mostly) banning it and now I need to find a new instance because I consider that to be the endorsement of our (American) government’s system of “bend over and take it.”

      They kinda sorta reversed course on that.

      Following a discussion in our team we want to clarify that we are no longer requesting moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification in the context of violent crimes when the crime in question already happened. We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.

      I can’t recommend SJW highly enough. Big enough to be stable but small enough to only have a handful of admins who are all very reasonable and very easy to reach and discuss things with

      I got permabanned for saying I would like to see how Eisenhower would treat some Nazi marchers in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is not a commentary on how far the Republicans have shifted, but is actually advocating violence. I haven’t been supplying Reddit with free content since. Their loss, I had a pretty decent amount of karma, so I probably was contributing to the popularity of their site.
