I made a comment that news stories about Ukraine winning the war might not be realistic.
This got me banned from WorldNews
Still going strong on my 15 years old account. I don’t really seek confrontation, so my comments are at most average.
Got banned from /r/geopolitics after one of the mods saw that I frequented the chapotraphouse sub back when it was in its heyday. Vaguely remember him saying something about how “unserious” perspectives like a communist pov wasn’t allowed.
It’s probably worth noting that getting banned from Reddit means that the majority of Lemmy instances would likely ban you as well.
And to actually answer the question, I’ve never been banned.
Yes and also no, some things reddit bans for non-social commercial reasons, like sharing piracy links and content and DMCA. Lots of Lemmy instances are still able to let that fly effortlessly.
My account never got banned, I just got tired of looking at political shit— especially at liberal/reactionary nonsense— every single day, so I deleted it and came over here, where we don’t put up with as much bullshit as we did over there.
I did get banned from a bunch of subs, though.
One of my favorite bans was when r/196 banned me for linking the whole Tank Man video under a “muh Tiny Moon Square” meme, which clearly shows the “Tank Man” leaving without so much as a scratch, a level of restraint that American police don’t show to anyone except to fascist wankers.
I never got banned.
What’s the most controversial thing you’ve said on there ?
Since I’m also in the never banned club, the most controversial thing I ever said on Reddit, based entirely on community reactions, was probably “americans perceive everyone outside america as sub-humans who are beneath self-determination, like they should be the ones to choose how we do everything”.
Sounds like at least among lefties this should have been an uncontroversial statement, but gods I made some gringos mad on that day.
Hah, only controversial to me for the mass generalization of a wide group of 300 million. There are absolutely many who see it that way, although also many millions who don’t.
The millions who don’t do not hold power.
Saying “Americans” might be a gross generalisation, but as long as your country acts like the planet’s collective abusive partner, I’ll just. Continue to shit on y’all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I got banned from r/LateStageImperialism for saying “Holodomor”. I guess I can’t be anti-imperialism and anti-stalin but whatever.
I should also note that I’m an anarchist and a socialist, not a Marxist-Leninist.
