      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

        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…

      No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?

        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.

            I downvoted an unpopular admin comment once and got suspended for 3 days for “brigading”. It was in the negative thousands.

            Nevermind I went to the subreddit for announcements, found that heavily downvoted comment, thought it added nothing to the discussion, because it was fundamentally ridiculous in my mind, and they determined that those actions constituted “brigading”.

        A popular french redditor who had a fun passion fir road signage got banned from reddit to state in a right-wing reddit (/r/europe) about the riots in France, that sometimes you only get progress through violence. He was banned for promoting violence.

        Commenting “GUILLOTINE!” at some political news was likely considered promoting violence enough so that the /r/france mods got instructions from reddit mods.

        I feel like this happened because of the Jan 6th coup attempt in Washington. I totally understand their position, but it is a bit tiring that Americans believe that their own political mindset of the moment is universal. France has far more legal restrictions on free speech yet it feels like American media censor themselves much more.

        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.

        I will tell you my permaban.

        on r/science , some news about homosexuality suffering or something and republicans not understanding something .

        I’m genuinely leftist.

        I make an obviously sarcastic comment. “That’s because they’re gay!”

        no /s

        Get banned from r/science for that. I ask the mod why ? it was obviously sarcastic and I was implying that was what right wing would say because they are stupid . He says, he shouldn’t have to guess if something is sarcastic . I tell him he got no sense of irony and 2nd degree . An hour later ,I’m permabanned for hate speech or something .

        Yeah . Reddit is a circle jerk full of power tripping mods. I have seen many worse offense without any bans.

        But I criticized a popular mod.

        Therefore , perma ban.
