They didn’t ban me; I banned them…

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I didn't. I left when they killed RiF

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

They killed Apollo in cold blood!

[–] Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

I got banned for "attempting to circumvent a ban" despite not being banned at the time.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No. I don't know anything else. I tried to appeal the ban but never heard anything else. Fuck 'em

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

By the way, my 3rd account was banned because I asked why my post was banned.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Maybe you had the same username as someone who got banned?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Don't know. Don't care. Reddit is a hot pile of garbage.

I didn't. I left of my own accord.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I told homophobes they were pieces of shit and got permabanned for it

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 16 points 2 weeks ago

Well, that was pretty insulting to pieces of shit…

I said billionaires should be put to the guillotine.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

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.

I got banned for repeatedly tagging a global warming denier in posts about climate change

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I said Italy knows how to deal with fascists in a post about Mussolini.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, they let them into government again, so ...

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.

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.

[–] realitista@piefed.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Heroes, as always, are not respected, but eliminated.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Calling for Elon Musk to get burned by the Canadian government for subsidy fraud. They took me literally, instead of recognizing the term for when a government disavows, or cuts all ties with a person or business, is called getting "burned".

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Told some tankie Russian apologist to 'go suck your brother's dick again'. Boom. All accounts banned. I guess I hit too close to the mark.

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

I got "VPN banned" despite not using a VPN lmao

Granted I haden't used the service since the API changes anyway, so no loss there, but I did get a pretty big chuckle when i finally found that out.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I got permabanned for saying billionaires deserve death one too many times.

Permanently Banned for inciting violence.

I said the Trump government was going to put LGBT people in camps and this was a bad thing.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

"Report button abuse" for reporting too many blatant ads as spam.

It happened right around the same time as the API fiasco, so I didn't give two flying fucks. I was leaving anyway.

[–] FishFace@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I got banned from /r/WorldNews and /r/ukpolitics for saying that "from the river to the sea" isn't antisemitic. It was in the early days post Oct 7th when reddit was virulently pro-Israel; I don't think they'd do the same nowadays.

I didn't leave immediately but thinking about it again really pissed me off as I'd been a regular commenter without much issue for years. It genuinely left me feeling quite depressed thinking about how little I mattered to them. When you get banned there's always some shit about how you should ask if you don't understand the ban, but one sub never replied, the other went further and told me to stop messaging their mods (I did so once a week when I wasn't receiving replies, to not spam them) so that was meaningless.

The irony is that here I'm usually getting downvoted for being insufficiently anti-Israel.

A posted a meme in r/conservative that featured the home addresses of prominent conservative talking heads in a thread about how the left can't meme.

[–] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Banned from r/worldnews for "racism" (said that the Russian elites have been committing social and moral degradation for centuries, by killing, imprisoning or exiling anyone with independent thoughts). Banned from numerous subreddits for "participating in a hate subreddit" (correcting someone once in r/KotakuInAction).

I got banned for telling conservatives to go fuck themselves too intensely.

[–] bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

R/interestingasfuck mod power tripped and banned me for "ban evasion" (I only had one account) then later I remade my account with a different username because the old one was cringe and accidentally left a comment there from r/all
instantly banned sitewide permanently and the appeal got denied.

just moved over to Lemmy. Fun fact, around now 1 year ago is when I moved (though I changed accounts since then) so around now is my cake day :)
