I got an instant permanent auto ban for joking about pushing someone down the stairs. It was ‘supporting violence’. I appealed and it was auto rejected. It’s become absurd.
I once said on /r/nintendo in the context of Nintendo increasing the price of games that even if you enjoy their products, there’s no excuse to defend their anti consumer practices and that there was way too much “corporate boot licking” among Nintendo fans. It wasn’t a statement directed at anyone specifically, but I got a temporary ban for “derogatory name calling.”
Like…I fully understand it’s going to be a sub of Nintendo fans, and I also consider myself a fan of a lot of their games, but if you aren’t allowed to be critical…then banning me for that post kinda proved my point, lol.
Dude im so tired of bans and creepy tracking that ensures you cant engage on the site… I do enjoy the reddit user friendly platform but im so sick of the overreach from the mods… i have had an account up for a while that just got permanently banned because I accidentally engaged with a sub i forgot had banned my og account… and because of that old account that had an IP ban it was somehow tied to my new account made a whole year later! Even though i use duckduckgo with full protection and cleared all my data… but Im done… its not worth the headache…and trying to use lemmy world now feels better. Still getting used to it here
DuckDuckGo doesn’t hide your IP. Your IP is a fundamental networking number used to route traffic to your computer. It can also change for many home internet service providers over time, so it’s a bit stupid of Reddit to use them, though they might be using more advanced fingerprinting mechanisms and merely saying IP.

So spot on! And i needed a place to vent. I’m glad lemmyworld lets us do that. But I’m so done with reddit. They leave up absolutely toxic awful comments and users that are actually bots, but then punish and route out real users… I didn’t really believe the dead internet theory until i realized how much reddit targets real users…
Their threshold for “calls to violence” is ridiculous. Got a ban for commenting I’d slap someone just like the person who got pranked slapped the person who jump scared them.
My ban. A bloke purposely ran over a 12 year old boy that was riding his bike. Seems a group of youths had verbally hassled this bloke so this was his reaction. Thankfully it was caught on film. This happened about 50 miles from me here in Australia.
Well anyway my comment was that if he had run over one of my two boys he might have ended up in hospital, there might be broken bones and I might end up in prison. I mean it was an angry knee jerk reaction to a horrible situation.
Well I got a site wide ban for threatening violence. I didn’t actually threaten anybody. No warning, no temp ban, not just banned from that one sub. Appealed but it fell in deaf ears.
Reddit has become practically unusable. Mods censor EVERYTHING even if it doesn’t “break the rules” it’s worthless trying to have honest discussions.

I dropped Reddit when it was announced that you could be banned for upvoting something.
Luigi
Luigi is a hero and I don’t care if anyone thinks otherwise.
Luigi is a bright, shinning example of what happens when the powers that be stop listening to the complaints and needs of the peasantry.
You’d think they’d have learned that the last several dozen times lords got too high and mighty and triggered a violent revolt/uprising… but alas…
If they sentence him to death it’s gonna be the white people version of George Floyd.
Luigi is also, in all probability, innocent.
Which means the Claims Adjuster is still at large.
