I mearly suggested that there should be more stepping on toes, on a post about a news article about Republican toes being stepped on by judges, and they sent me a warning that “I was advocating for violence”. Like, no, my sweet summer child, if I was advocating for violence, my rhetoric would be more… violent.
Edit: Decided right then and there I was done splitting my time between reddit and the fediverse.
I tried to appeal, because sure… if a community has rules, and I break them, I can own that. But the post had already been “removed by moderator” so I couldn’t even see what it said. It wasn’t even in my post history. I asked “The offending post has been removed, is there a way to see it so I can address the issue regarding my ban? I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong.” I’ve been banned before, I know how it goes.
Response: “Your appeal has been denied.” End of story. Not even a fair chance at appeal. Nothing I would have said would have mattered, because it was pro-Luigi.
It’s okay though, Reddit will be the next Twitter/X in a few months. Nothing of value will be lost.
They also instituted a site-wide ban against Luigi supporters… Ask me how I know.
Yeah when I started getting suspended for simply upvoting Luigi comments, I realized it was time to leave.
I deleted my 13 year old high karma account. And now I’m adjusting to being a new Lemmy user.
I had so much karma.
Too bad I couldn’t cash it out for nickels or something.
Did you actually get a message that said “because you upvoted”? I still don’t think they track and suspend based on upvotes to something
It’s a recent development, but yes they do that now.
And yet

I would love to see exactly the elon posts that got banned, because that’s when you know you struck gold
