Except the obvious fuck spez / steve huffman stuff, what are the things that get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances Lemmy?

Specifically, I want to know where is the line drawn, regarding the recent NYC Shooting incident involving the corporate shithead.

    I can comment on something conservative, calling the people morons for being duped, and not get banned from every single left wing area by some power tripping shithead mod that thinks those comments are going to drive positive traction to those conservative spaces.

    Some reddit mods are utterly fucking useless, and definitely need to go touch some fucking grass.

    Edit adding a screenshot since someone’s butthurt enough to downvote: context was calling Jordan Peterson problematic

    I got perma-banned for condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Several mods accused me of being an alt-right neo Nazi MAGA cultist. 🙄

    Bro, genocide is bad no matter who is doing it.

    Got a recent one for you. I was permabanned from reddit a month ago for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, because Liz Cheney is a warhawk who has called for bombing millions of people.

    Banned for “glorifying violence,” not because I agreed with it or endorsed it. Just for saying I didn’t care.

    They even banned an alt I used for work stuff, just for being associated with the main account. Ban upheld on appeal.

      I don’t agree but I see the reasoning. They are gonna lose advertisers if they allow anything like that on their site. Especially if its a US politician. “I don’t care if putin gets shot” might not have gotten you a ban, but a US politician definitely is gonna get a ban, since reddit is a US company.

        No. Maybe there’s some indirect concern about advertisers, but it’s mostly narrative control and propaganda.

        Look at this recent ceo shooting. The rich know they have to convince us that their lives matter more, and that we have to consider them untouchable. It’s how they maintain their position and protect themselves from accountability from their own evil & violence.

          Look at this recent ceo shooting.

          • Reddit is a corporation with a CEO

          • The CEO doesn’t like seeing members of his own social class being shot

          • Reddit users cheer death of a CEO

          • Reddit CEO gets scared like a bitch and start ban hammering

            Hahaha. No. No one is calling for the execution of social media executives. It’s to protect his fellow rich people from having their monopoly on violence challenged.

      I got permabanned for saying I would like to see how Eisenhower would treat some Nazi marchers in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is not a commentary on how far the Republicans have shifted, but is actually advocating violence. I haven’t been supplying Reddit with free content since. Their loss, I had a pretty decent amount of karma, so I probably was contributing to the popularity of their site.

      I haven’t visited reddit aside from the stray search result or very niche question every few months (no general browsing or any contributing since I made this account), you really can’t post archive links? Why? DMCA BS?

        I once got banned from a community for sharing a zelda decompilation project on archive.org. Others have reported issues with reddit and banning people for sharing nintendo power magazines. Fun times.

        Modern day internet, you can talk about things, but you have to talk around certain companies, like nintendo or else risk getting banned/taken down. But with the fediverse, i can own more of the system. If world ever goes down, I can still use my personal instance to communicate for instance.

      Maybe you were in some seriously shady subs with pimple nosed little snotbags acting as mod, but none of this was ever a problem for me in the subs I frequented.

    Getting banned from Lemmy is orders of magnitude easier. During my 10+ years on reddit I can only remember one occasion when I got banned from a sub but it has happened on Lemmy multiple times over the 1.5 years I’ve been here and comments being removed is a regular thing.

    On reddit you need to actually break the rules. On Lemmy it’s enough that a mod doesn’t like what you’re saying.

    Linking other communities (vs. subreddit equivalents). For some reason on my last year of reddit some subs started adding rules against mentioning any r/ s. It’s almost universally encouraged here to spread knowledge and grow small communities.

      Oh yea reddit gets so strict sometimes. Like I get mods not wanting to get people to start spamming community names, but sometimes a relavent conversation comes up and it’s really too strict to not even allow a mention in a relevent conversation.

        I’m still fucking pissed off, a Reddit mod banned me sitewide for a week for mocking someone using windows on a steam deck, fuck it, I deserved it, BUT SITEWIDE AND FOR A FUCKING WEEEEK

      There was also a fad to spam links to communities, some of them made up. Entire chains of comments would just be nonsense. A crackdown on that would make sense.

      Here it’s not really an issue. There I’d usually consider a link to a community without additional text to be spam.

    Openly writing that bad people finally should realize their actions have direct deadly consequences, not only for them… or expect what comes.

    Reddit doesn’t need a reason to ban you. It can be anything because they function on arbitrary laws known only to themselves.

          There was no exact comment. I was banned from every top-level news sub for calling out the disproportionate reaction from Israel becoming a genocide. That was back in December last year. Their official reason for site banning me was “abuse of the report tool” because I was reporting everyone calling all Palestinians terrorists and/or advocating for their collective deaths. Advocating violence is against Reddit’s ToS, except if it’s Pro-Israel violence.

    I’ve never been banned from Reddit but I was threatened with a ban by a Reddit admin when I reported a right wing troll group who was obviously using sockpuppets to harass people and spread racist bullshit in some local sub. The admin message said I was abusing the moderation system by reporting them and if I didn’t stop I would be banned from Reddit. I was never banned but a few weeks later all of the sockpuppet accounts I reported were banned by the antievil operations team along with one of the mods in that sub.
