I was promoting Lemmy in the place that I was supposed to.

    Here is the offending comment:

    It did not violate any community rules. Reddit doesn’t make any sense.

      Reddit makes perfect sense: having you there is no longer profitable.

      Fuck them to be honest…

      An admin banned you and disguised it as a ban from mods.

      (Or perhaps a mod is secretly just an admin / bootlicker for the admins)

        What makes you think it was an Admin and not just a mod of the group?

          Admins have full control. Steve Huffman admitted to editing users comments, hiding admin actions as mod actions is not unthinkable.

        We’re on thin ice! After this latest exodus, I think reddit realizes how dangerous lemmy is becoming since they had to roll the bans back immediately

          Yeah everyone always says I am an asshole and sure it is true but a lot of these bans are not about being an asshole. It is censorship of content.

          Banning people who have better decorum does make them look pathetic though. Hopefully normies take notice.

      Considering the sub in question is /r/redditalternatives, you posted this in a thread about alternative communities on lemmy, and there’s a reply to your comment which promotes more lemmy (and mbin) instances that isn’t removed… I really really doubt the reason for the ban was you mentioning Lemmy. That would be very inconsistent of the mods, and actually suggest a vendetta against you personally rather than lemmy.

      Did you reply to the message asking what rule you broke? Like the ban message instructs you to? Might have also been an accidential ban.

      It did not violate any community rules. Reddit doesn’t make any sense.

      Sadly, sidebar rules on Old Reddit aren’t real and so can’t be relied upon. There are in fact more than just four rules. There’s nine of them.

      That said, even with the expanded list of rules I can’t find any that might apply. Unless their automoderator is so heavily sensitive to non-civility that the very word “cuss” is seen as bad language. Which I very much doubt. It does mention that linking to websites containing malware leads to an immediate permaban, but I doubt that’s the case here?

      We are in the information war against corporate regime…

      It is silly to expect for them to let us win.

      Revolution will not be televised but people in the know, know
