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.
I just… left.
They didn’t ban me; I banned them…
I didn’t. I left when they killed RiF
They killed Apollo in cold blood!
Same, sad they killed rif but at least it pushed me to lemmy
Amen
I got banned for “attempting to circumvent a ban” despite not being banned at the time.
Wait, can you tell more?
No. I don’t know anything else. I tried to appeal the ban but never heard anything else. Fuck 'em
By the way, my 3rd account was banned because I asked why my post was banned.
Maybe you had the same username as someone who got banned?
Don’t know. Don’t care. Reddit is a hot pile of garbage.
Aren’t usernames unique on reddit?
That’s part of the joke. The other part is that it happens in real life that people are denied passage into a country because someone else with the name is on a terrorist list. I read about it in the great book “One day, everyone will have always been against this”.
I didn’t expect anyone the get the whole joke but I make it anyway. This is the internet.
I said billionaires should be put to the guillotine.
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.
Same
Honesty can be deadly. :3
I didn’t. I left of my own accord.
I told homophobes they were pieces of shit and got permabanned for it
Well, that was pretty insulting to pieces of shit…
Hey! Me too!
I said Italy knows how to deal with fascists in a post about Mussolini.
Well, they let them into government again, so …
Meloni likes screwing over her own country folk.
To fight the fascists, you need to be independent from them, even to have your own food, and if there are many such independent people, then the fascists will have a hard time forcing people to return to them.
I got banned for repeatedly tagging a global warming denier in posts about climate change
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.
What was the picture of?
Someone asked if a prisoner being resuscitated has finished serving their life sentence, I said you have to be irrevocably dead, admins said that promotes violence.
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.
king behavior 👑
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.
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.
