Me posting dispelling obvious Israeli propaganda on any subreddit. Exhausting.
Show threadSibshopsSep 28
I got a temp ban from reddit. Not cool enough, apparently.

Someone wished Trump would die of disease (and didn’t get banned), I wish him a long life and lots of suffering from disease so reddit banned me for advocating for violence (they’d been targeting me)
Show threadTheJesusaurusSep 28
I actually enjoy the experience of Reddit more after having been banned.
Show threadDunlapSep 28
As am I. Apparently thr Zionists subreddit mods don’t like it when you compare Israeli propaganda to Nazi propaganda.
Show threadDaMummySep 29
Yay, I’m not alone! Sarcastically pointing out that Israel has a right to unalive and fondle American children is frowned upon.

Depends on your instance and the community you’re posting in.

For example, on lemmy.world a user might get warned or banned for openly celebrating the shooting of Brian Thompson. (I forget exactly where they draw the line, but it’s an “advocating violence” thing)

Or here, a user on lemmy.ml might get banned for bigoted statements, even normal things that plenty of people don’t even notice are bigoted because it’s “common sense” in their own country.

But you’ve got to be pretty damn intolerable to get banned from more than a few instances. Like, actual Nazism.

I said I was my kids landlord in the wrong thread and got banned for 30+ days because I was evil landlord. Trust me my kids are quite happy with how cheep their rent is.

The censorship has gone mad on Reddit. I was a user there before the whole Digg migration, and it’s been such a wonderful ride. It had to end at some point, though.

I’m just at a point where it’s genuinely impossible to have a conversation there without having your comments removed, the thread locked, or downvoted to oblivion for not joining in to whatever the masses are yapping about.

Less of a town square and more of a mob of idiots surrounded by bots.

Be aware there is absolutely censorship in this place too. I dare you to say something even slightly right of left leaning politics

Right-wing views should be made fun of and discredited though, just like Flat Earthers or anti-vaxxers. Right-wing politics isn’t simply a “preference,” it’s support for a brutal system of imperialism and domination of the working class.
Show threadlumpenproletariatSep 30
Yes, likewise all statists should be made fun of and discredited. Statist politics isn’t simply a “preference,” it’s support for a brutal system of imperialism and domination of the working class.
Show threadCowbee [he/they]Sep 30
The state is progressive when it’s a working class state, ie socialism. The state is ultimately the means by which one class dominates others, it isn’t distinct from class society as its own independent entity. Until classless society can be achieved, it’s better for the ruling class to be the working class.
Show threadlumpenproletariatSep 30

The state is never progressive, it is always authoritarian.

Classless society can never form in a hierarchical system where a state wields supreme power over the people.

Show threadCowbee [he/they]Sep 30

All states are authoritarian, yes, but the question is whose authority does the state represent, and against whom? In capitalism, that class is the bourgeoisie against the proletariat, in socialism that class is the proletariat against the bourgeoisie.

Classless society can only be formed by full collectivization of production across all of society. Breaking society up into petite bourgeois communes with unequal ownership of the whole total resources and production of humanity retains classes, even if it tries to eliminate hierarchy. Hierarchy is not itself a bad thing, tacticians and strategians play different but critical roles.

In a fully collectivized society, without class, there is no section of society needed to be especially oppressed. There is no longer an economic basis for a state, and as such it withers, as it has gradually to the extent it has collectivized production and distribution. It isn’t abolished by the stroke of a pen or at the barrel of a gun.

What got you banned? I said mean things about Elon Musk.
Show threaddanielton1Sep 29
Reddit is such a weird place. A lot of left-leaning people are still on there, even though spez worships Elon and even named Elon as the “inspiration” for all the stupid shit he did to Reddit.

I got banned for saying in a Captain America thread that I’d love to see a version of the classic Captain America comic book cover where Cap punches Trump intead of Hitler.

I was apparently inciting violence.

Praise the fediverse!

Show threadMugenhagenSep 29

Rules for thee, not for me.

The Right can incite violence and engage in cruelty against their targets of oppression and opposition, consequence free, both online and offline. Meanwhile, the left isn’t even allowed to publically speak our thoughts and belief in numerous circles and places and even our supposed “allies” (aka, the average working class protester) have to push us down and suppress us because “violence is bad :(”.

Show threadmuusemuuseOct 1
Inciting violence was the reason given for me too. Challenging Nazis is violent to them. Don’t let them normalize this idiocy.
Show threadmuusemuuseSep 29
It’s always good to keep your options open. The fediverse has set up guardrails to prevent things from happening here that have already happened out there but anything can fail. I myself have an account on ramble if shit goes bad here. Always have an escape route. Have no loyalty, that will be abused.
Show threadCorporal_PunishmentSep 29

I said something mean about idiots riding unregistered/uninsured off-road bikes in and out of traffic (totally illegal in the UK) a few months back.

That got me banned.

Show threadHarneyTokerSep 29
Me too. I commented on a post about a shooting and sarcastically asked how folks were going to blame it on trans people this time. Permabanned!
Show threadneon_novaSep 29

I’ve been banned from a community on here before because I’m sure someone misread my comment.

My comment was clearly aligned with everyone else on the post, but I still got banned and mods did not respond to my messages about getting unbanned.

Show threadWaldelfeSep 29
I’ve been banned from several communities here for downvoting in one. At least that’s qhat the messages said. Got several bans for communities I didn’t even know existed 😂.
