    I had a nasty habit to argue with subreddit mods after being banned for mild violations. Obviously that would only happen when the penalty had been inadequate, otherwise I would keep my mouth shut.

    It happened two times, at first I was banned for a week on the whole platform. Second time, I was permanently banned from reddit.

    Mind you, these two were the only occasions I was banned from reddit per se. I would naturally receive bans on various subreddit for reasons, but never from the entire website.

    Funny how the most powerful people on reddit are also most fragile and best protected by the admins.

      Reddit is full of the most dishonest lying pieces of shit for mods and admins.

      And they keep shoving more and more ads in their website and bots are running more rampant now, so it’s a sinking ship

      goodness how i despise power tripping moderators.

      i’ve been a mod in one pretty large and active online community and somehow power has never gotten into my head, but i’ve seen so many completely trip out over the smallest non-issues, fucking bizarre

      Reddit’s whole identity is racism. I think maybe OOP was trying to say an apples to apples comparison is possible.

        I mean like most of us I came from Reddit. If I knew which sub the post was in I’d have a pretty solid opinion but as is I’d assume they probably got downvoted to hell for some unfair reason. Happened to anyone active on occasion so it wouldn’t be surprising. Since it has so many up votes I can’t imagine, without the context of the particular sub, that they weren’t just getting piled on.

      After the Charlottesville protests and the guy ran everyone down with his car, I went to /b and it was flooded with messages telling everyone to attack more people with cars

      are they banning mentions of any other social media? Since there’s a lot of names lemmy instances can go by.

        The screenshot says this violated rule 4 or the sitewide rules:

        Rule 4

        Do not share or encourage the sharing of sexual, abusive, or suggestive content involving minors. Any predatory or inappropriate behavior involving a minor is also strictly prohibited.

      I advise you to spend 5 minutes on LinkedIn. It is enough to make even Twitter looks like heaven

        reeSilva is correct, but for the sake of everyone’s sanity: AVOID LINKEDIN AT ALL COSTS. That’s where all the self-important and out of touch people hang out and they’re the absolute worst.
