I just got a ban for “encouraging violence”. Someone asked “what will you do to celebrate when he dies?” Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they’d put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians’ careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It’ll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

    My final straw with Reddit was a year ago, with an r/askreddit question, “Now that the Supreme Court has given Presidents immunity, what’s the funniest thing Biden could do?” I answered, “Shoot Donald Trump.” I caught a strike for inciting violence, appealed it, and got a clearly automated reply upholding the strike. Made a Lemmy account that day and never looked back.

    Imagine my shock, you got band doing that on Reddit.

    Yep that is a really good GG Allin joke you made.

    It will be so much entertainment if the ghost of GG Allin possessions Keir Starmer and Keir Starmer career will not end in a pathetic whimper but it will end in such a horrible big bang of pure entertainment.

    Only people will not find that joke funny is asshole Socialist Reddit mod jerries.

    Fuck Reddit.

    Welcome to Lemmy, be sure to build your own subscription and block list. The updoots dont tally on your account (which I think is one of the healthiest changes), speak your mind, each comment stands on its own, and bad takes are not forever (Ive had my own fair share). If you dont like your mods, change instances or make your own.

    I’ve been here since reddit backstabbed its 3rd party app devs, and even just since then, Lemmy has grown a LOT while reddit continues to enshittify.

    Welcome aboard!

    I got banned for harassing a mod

    I still have no idea what they were talking about

    I was on reddit for over 10 years

    If we ever get our hands on the data, I think it’s probably a safe hypothesis that most of the banned users are anti-trump.

    Gotta make reddit a safe space to support his reign or emperor Donny will have a temper tantrum and Spez is easily frightened into submission
