i guess most of us dont know a lot about the whole fediverse stuff. but the longer you are here, the more you will learn about it. so far, it’s pretty interesting!
Would that even count as a crime in the first place? Interesting either way, didn’t expect that would trigger a ban on the website.
Again, can totally see that happening on a sub, but giving the amount of vile that has been given a free platform on the site I didn’t think they’d bother.
It’s easier than you think. I have a couple accounts that got permabanned because I pointed out that there was mod abuse by “power mods” across multiple subs a while ago. Coincidentally one of those power mods got banned themselves a couple days ago.
They ban people very selectively and its always ideologically motivated. There was a period of time where you would get a 3-day ban for just upvoting the wrong posts. So you could lurk and still get banned for some reason. That happened to me multiple times before I decided to delete my account.
It’s pretty easy, i got banned from a couple of subs for being left-wing (apparently calling out brigading from far-right subs was against the rules).
But i got a sitewide ban because I used an alt to ban evade (can’t remember the exact post, but somebody was asking for advise wrt to COVID in a legal sub (I was originally banned for for encouraging a user to get funny but illegal payback on their neighbors), and it felt urgent enough that I was fine getting banned.).
Once you get a siteban, trolls will flag report all your posts even on subs your not banned from, or at least whenever I brought up that r/UKpolitics is modded by a literal fascist, I’d get a new site ban for “ban evasion”, to the point where pretty much any encounter with a far right troll or YIMBY would get me a ban.
The admins also seem to work very closely with certain moderators, as was shown when they leaked a trans employees information to TERFisland subs.
So while powermods can’t get you a sitewide ban, some have the ear of the admins who can keep an eye on you until you break a sitewide rule.
And on a site which has alt-right subs, it’s hard to at the very least walk right up to the line on the rules wrt treating all commenters like humans.
Me, who only made an account because I was banned from Reddit and has no idea how Fediverse stuff works: whistles nervously
Banned from Reddit? What’d you do, tell Spez to go fuck himself?
I told him to fuck himself plenty and never even got aknowlaged
It’s often enough to say a bad word about russians and you get permabanned.
Can’t say I’ve ever experienced that, and there’s whole, major subreddits basically dedicated to doing just that…
Meanwhile I fled to Lemmy from Reddit because I need a place to show art without being under some platform whose vision and actions I don’t support
Pixelfed is viable option too, i would love to see your art there!
you should be able to follow him from pixelfed. that’s kind of a point of fediverse.

No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?
Said that I would murder andrew tate is given the opportunity and apparently that counts as a credible threat of violence
That is very violent phrasing and you only deem it ok because it’s geared toward the “right kind of people”
I’m fine with that
Yes.

I got banned once for telling an absolute cunt that she was one in “am I the asshole.”
