Some of the new Reddit mods are so toxic. Instead of apologizing for the bot being too harsh and reinstating my submission, they just banned me because I dared to ask what exactly I didn’t “punctuate correctly”.

    Arbitrary bans do happen on Lemmy. However they’re like a drop of piss in an ocean of piss, once you compare them with Reddit. No matter what you do there, some assumptive piece of shit will put its words into your mouth, and if that assumer is a mod you are getting banned.

      It’s not a drop in a bucket, it’s about the same if not worse.

        If it smells like shit everywhere you go, maybe you should check your own shoes.

          Or maybe I should check where I’m going. A lot of people don’t like to hear “wishing for genocide or someone’s death is a bad thing”.

            ??? Some people don’t like to hear “you shouldn’t sexualize children” does that mean we need to accommodate them to make sure they feel safe and cozy? Fuck no. Same deal, different opinion.

              Except in your comparison, lemmy is the other person you brought up. Wishing death on people and calling for a genocide is deplorable and will rightfully get you ostracized in society. The fact that you don’t see it as that just proves my point further.

          Oh there’s permanent bans as well. Point out capitalism always devolves into authoritarian if not outright fascistic groups. Everything’s cool. Point out that every Marxist leninist government that’s ever existed starts out real close and somehow always ends up going fascist themselves. Pow! Permaban and the snowflake tanky mods crying horseshoe Theory. Just for pointing out simple facts and reality.

          I don’t know bro. I’m banned for 20000 days from 196 Why you may ask? Well, I said that “Hamas was totally okay with dead Palestinians. Just as Israel is totally okay with dead Palestinians. Both governments treat Palestinians like a currency to be spent.”. The lead administrator a guy named Moss did not like me saying that. So I am banned for being a fuck ass for 20,000 days now.

            Arbitrary for sure.

            Banning people from having opinions is counter-productive lol

        I don’t know how that can be. I was banned from several places on reddit, but not a one across all the fediverse, and I’m much more active here than I was in reddit

          Go spend a bit in hexbear and it’ll happen. Unless you whole heartedly adopt their thinking, at least.

        Nah.

        Even if someone might argue that Lemmy has plenty hivemind bans, arbitrary bans - like the one shown in the OP, or caused by a mod lacking basic reading comprehension - are relatively uncommon. Apples and oranges, you know.
