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.

      I haven’t visited reddit aside from the stray search result or very niche question every few months (no general browsing or any contributing since I made this account), you really can’t post archive links? Why? DMCA BS?

        I once got banned from a community for sharing a zelda decompilation project on archive.org. Others have reported issues with reddit and banning people for sharing nintendo power magazines. Fun times.

        Modern day internet, you can talk about things, but you have to talk around certain companies, like nintendo or else risk getting banned/taken down. But with the fediverse, i can own more of the system. If world ever goes down, I can still use my personal instance to communicate for instance.

      Maybe you were in some seriously shady subs with pimple nosed little snotbags acting as mod, but none of this was ever a problem for me in the subs I frequented.

    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.

          The mod situation has always been strange. Mods can NEVER be changed once a community is made (unless a super mod gets involved). Makes it easy for individuals to control entire communities without any say within the communities themselves (within reddit).

          Lemmy is a bit better as you can just up and leave an instance community that is being strange. But its a similar issue. Voting per year (or just periodically) a mod could have good results…if done right. Im actually not sure what the best way to do it is, but having overlord mods is not the correct way thats for sure.

      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.

    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.

    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.

          There was no exact comment. I was banned from every top-level news sub for calling out the disproportionate reaction from Israel becoming a genocide. That was back in December last year. Their official reason for site banning me was “abuse of the report tool” because I was reporting everyone calling all Palestinians terrorists and/or advocating for their collective deaths. Advocating violence is against Reddit’s ToS, except if it’s Pro-Israel violence.

      Carefully now, you’re on lemmy.world so that doesn’t really apply.

        Ehh…

        I think “I don’t feel bad for the CEO” is okay, but “Deny, Defend, Depose” can get a comment removal on .world

        But then, its lemmy. Theres a lot more instances that are more leinient.

      I got permabanned for saying I would like to see how Eisenhower would treat some Nazi marchers in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is not a commentary on how far the Republicans have shifted, but is actually advocating violence. I haven’t been supplying Reddit with free content since. Their loss, I had a pretty decent amount of karma, so I probably was contributing to the popularity of their site.

      I’ve never heard of it, and checking it out it makes zero sense to ban for linking to what is clearly a decent website by decent people.

      I believe it, just expressing my confusion.

      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).

      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.
