News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Weren't those just troll farms though, full of right wing losers upset they couldn't be openly racist enough?

I got several ridiculous bans from reddit.

One was for saying that Hans Kristian Graebner (the Neo-Nazi known as Stonetoss who was had his IRL name leaked online) deserves to get the Brock/Allen Turner treatment (having his RL name put on blast everywhere).

One was for "inciting violence" - I was joking about mosquitoes getting cancer under a picture of a mosquito perched on a cigarette

One was for pasting the list of DOGE staff (it's a government job so it is public record) because Elon whined to his buddy Spez

The final permanent ban was for saying that the mods of r/cybertruck are losers.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Same here. All mine were ridiculous in a similar vein.

The permaban was for agreeing with a Muslim that the bloke who disarmed that Bondi shooter and didn’t shoot him was because he’s a peaceful, forgiving man who couldn’t do it which was in fact the truth.

I don’t think I was alone, I think a few got banned at the same time. I was already here before then because I could see the writing on the wall.

i think the closest mine was to a real "advocation of violence" was when i posted my daydream about krasnov dying like elvis, only it happening on camera so it's more ignominious. and a whole lot of weegees and luigi twerking gifs because if you are not rebelling against the absurdities and injustices of existence in even the teensiest ways and making yourself laugh, what are you doing?

i've posted here about the Robert-François Damiens because i pushed the boundary that far (and no further) and got away with it.

I got banned from reddit because users were cheering the harming of trans kids, and I told said users I hoped they'd get hit with a brick.

Reddit is a right-wing shithole with a neo-liberal facade.

[–] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Oh I'm pretty sure the admins have banned me site-wide since I called them out for doxing a trans coworker to the mods of a far-right UK subreddit, I have a laundry list of ridiculous bans including joking about a dog shooting another dog in the same post as Garry Tan's name, I'm not defending Reddit.

Its just that last time I went to r/bannedFromReddit it was AA cesspit.

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (5 children)

You were banned for inciting violence. Which is the reason for every ban I ever got:

  • "can't wait for the first influencer to die in one of these" (1man quadcopter)
  • facetiously telling someone to place a stick through their own spokes while riding their bike in response to a very dumb question.
  • saying everyone linked in the Epstein files should get the rope.

I didn't notice a political correlation.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

The banhammer gets triggered by a certain combination of names and acts of violence.

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A rule that is all too often conveniently & unevenly applied.

[–] charokol@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You tend to not see the posts where the rule has already been applied

[–] Meatwagon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I got a warning for saying I wanted to shoot (in Reddead Redemption) children (who were being pests on voicechat).

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

i have to say, there were days when after dealing with the really pesky kids in my wife's class i fired up the old fallout

Didn't say how high we tie it. Just to the point of discomfort when on tiptoes.

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

nice so it cuts in and tightens over time

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I got banned for inciting violence (from a supposedly leftist sub) because I said we should burn every single nazi\ confederate flag without exception on a post about a guy in a homeless encampment with a nazi flag hung outside his tent.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 1 day ago

What do you think [neo]liberal is?

[–] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Oh I agree with that, just when I got banned a while ago the bannedFromReddit sub was even further right than mainstream reddit

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I was banned for pointing out a mods hypocrisy of removing some ads while keeping others even when the sub specifically had a rule for no ads. Reddit admins called it harassment when I only sent one message to the mod and reported their reply for breaking the TOS/Moderator Code of Conduct.

My post on that sub didn't appear to have trolls or right wing losers in the replies.
