Honestly, I’d be interested to hear about your adventures.
I posted a picture of the non existent genitals of a Ken doll with the caption, “Elon’s Penis,” In political humor.
Linked that Bill Hicks standup routine where he encourages marketers to kill themselves. Must have hit too close to home for some loser admin who nuked my account for inciting violence.
Remember when Elon Musk had that black eye and said his son punched him? I said “can’t blame him”. Which is, of course, glorifying violence.
I belive they called it “advocating violence”
Banned for going after Israel and IDF shills promoting hate speech and calling for violence. Clear violations of the TOS, even back in 2023, but reporting it got me perma-banned after 13 years.
Heroes, as always, are not respected, but eliminated.
I just nuked my account and fecked off to Lemmy after the API kill.
Lol I recently had a comment removed from the bogleheads subreddit because some guy was talking about buying a bit more of their usual index fund purchases if the market were to dump 20% in a day. Someone asked how they’d do it and I said “probably just shift a bit from emergency fund and build it back over the next month or two.”
Cue the True Bogleheads ripping me for suggesting “timing the market.” I said “this is, of course, fine.” And they went nuclear. That comment got removed and I replied to the mod with “You got your head pretty far up your bogle there, bud.” That got me a 3 day full reddit ban. Worth it.
For the uninitiated, bogleheads are basically just adherents to a popular passive investing philosophy. I agree completely with it, but it was hilarious to me how dogmatic - borderline religious - they were about “timing the market” with zero nuance or recognition that it’s just not that serious.
I got banned from a bunch of subreddits by making one comment in Asmingold…and it was a comment against. Then got sent this pm saying if you delete your comment and apologize we will reconsider you. I told em to fuck off I’ll speak how I like. Censorship is censorship. Wasn’t long before I deleted all my posts and comments on by one manually and killed off my 14 year old account.
On a video of an ICE agent, jumping out of his civilian vehicle and pointing an automatic weapon At some people, I simply suggested that it would be hilarious if someone jumped in his car and drove it away. He left the driver door wide open, and I seriously doubt he took his keys with him. I just thought it would be funny to see him react to that. It wasn’t a permaban, but it was enough to get me to jump ship.
I just… left.
They didn’t ban me; I banned them…
I didn’t. I left when they killed RiF
Amen
They killed Apollo in cold blood!
Same, sad they killed rif but at least it pushed me to lemmy
Multiple reasons really, one of which was telling a guy who wanted to put low IQ people in concentration camps “you first”.
I got banned for “attempting to circumvent a ban” despite not being banned at the time.
Wait, can you tell more?
No. I don’t know anything else. I tried to appeal the ban but never heard anything else. Fuck 'em
By the way, my 3rd account was banned because I asked why my post was banned.
Maybe you had the same username as someone who got banned?
Aren’t usernames unique on reddit?
That’s part of the joke. The other part is that it happens in real life that people are denied passage into a country because someone else with the name is on a terrorist list. I read about it in the great book “One day, everyone will have always been against this”.
I didn’t expect anyone the get the whole joke but I make it anyway. This is the internet.
Don’t know. Don’t care. Reddit is a hot pile of garbage.
1st time: no idea - got shadowbanned 2nd time: laughing at charlie kirk
Damn, I have almost the same story.
I didn’t. I left of my own accord.
