I got a ban for saying “even the sharks don’t want to eat Russians” on an article about a Russian tourist getting attacked by a shark.

There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I've never seen on Reddit I thought it was the last bastion of free speech

While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked

It is unfortunate

Steve Bannon isnt welcome in Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldn't host nazis. I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period. Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles They deserve to be boycotted And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time

Edit: UPDATE 2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!! NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT

Told you so r/Coloradosprings

Fuck yall

I didn't get banned, I just can't login anymore. All browsers confirm username and pass are correct, but reddit says they are not. They really don't like critics. No calls for violence, veiled or otherwise. The wheels are coming off that country quickly.

Reddit is dead to me and I was with it since near the beginning.

Elon acts like a dude with a very tiny penis.

This (among other reasons) is why I left Reddit, deleted my account and move to Lemmy.world.

I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.

So the Twitter boss gets to order around the Reddit boss? Typical Stevie... No spine

[–] SmokeytheBeard1@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn't let me see what I even commented. They said it was "encouraging violence" but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.

It feels like a warped in to another dimension. Did everyone start using only 5 years ago?

The day I saw Trump win I knew Reddit was going on the chopping block but even then, it’s been going downhill since 2016 with bots, bot mods, and language policing. Merely saying ‘fucking Luigi’ is a ban worthy offense and it’s absolutely asinine.

I just got a temporary ban for cussing out Elon in one of the antifacist subreddits, felt good. I'm wearing this ban as a badge of honor.

Free Speech^TM^

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

One of the most recurring things I see here is the mods are at wits end with Reddit Admins again. They've given up a lot of leverage in doing another blackout, but they really need to ask themselves what they have to gain being unpaid volunteers for a website clearly working against its users.

I hope he does something stupid like buy Reddit.
