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.

    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 don’t know what subreddits you were on, but on the ones I’m a member of, it doesn’t looks like r/ is seen as a bad thing.

      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.

    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.

    I’d argue there’s a lot of similarities, since most people left due to Spez and the IPO. I left when Spez and co fucked over the Apollo app dev.

    This excludes the tankie instances. I saw a lot of “death to Israel” and other shit before I filtered those instance that would probably have gotten them nuked on reddit. Stuff like that will be the main differences. Here there isn’t any worry about how marketable the platform is to advertisers. Which is mostly a good thing.

    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.

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

    I got a three day suspension on reddit for telling automoderator to eat my ass. I don’t think that would happen on lemmy.

      To be fair, this is usually a spam mitigation thing. Most places that do it have an automod that just deletes anything posted by an account less than x days / weeks old, rather than a human going through and doing it manually. It’s usually in the rules of the sub

      A variant is requiring a certain amount of karma for the same reason

      Yea, sometime I just want a throwaway to vent on how shitty my life is, then after typing like 5 paragraphs, I click post. I get an automod saying my karma is too low.

      Ugh, that shit just makes me wanna end myself even more (figuratively, of course).

      Yeah, some instances are the equal and opposite of voat. Just as extreme, in the opposite direction

      I remember commenting in a sub and getting bounced by automod because I didn’t meet a karma limit. Which is fine, lots of subs have karma limits. But it felt really high- I had a couple thousand karma at the time- and the mods explicitly wouldn’t tell you what the actual limit was.

      So I guess you’re just supposed to let automod bounce you occasionally til you manage to hit their magic number.

    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.

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