I’ve been reading a lot of comments lately about people getting banned for really mundane things. Some as much as upvoting a comment.
My 11 year old reddit account got banned. I still don’t know exactly what I said but I believe it was for talking about the US invading Canada and how we Canadians would fight back.
I think the funniest thing was getting banned from r/politics for posting two lines from the lyrics of Kidnap the Sandy Claws - a song from a kids movie Nightmare Before Christmas. A KIDS MOVIE!
“Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box. Bury him for ninety years, then see if he talks”
I don’t even remember the context of posting it, but it was about Santa Claus. You know, a fictional character.
Pathetic.
You must log in or register to comment.
COMMON SENSE GETS YOU BANNED ON REDDIT.
Thats my experience and my friends and family too. We all just switched to Lemmy.
Suggesting anyone wearing one of Kanye’s new swastika shirts, be punched immediately.
On a post about a local company not wanting to serve LGBT folks… i said, vote with your wallets. Let the free market decide their fate. Apparently anything short of wanting to burn the place to the ground is considered bigotry.
I called malaria trump a whore.
Like, she fucked a decrepit orange ogre for money.
Edit, lol, malaria. Keeping that. Fitting.
Malaria. Love it. I’m going to use this because I can never remember her name.
I got banned for saying drumpf needs to be assassinated.
Weeeeeeell … I upvoted you because I can’t disagree, but this one is technically bannable. In the USA it is illegal to vocalize harm to the US president. One of the few real exceptions to free speech. It is also illegal to cause a panic, like yelling “Fire!” in a crowded area when there in no fire, to cause a panic.
Haven’t been banned, but the bastards did make the reddit Boost app useless about a week ago. I switched to RedReader, but I don’t like the app as much, so I don’t stay on it as long now. Been using Lemmy a lot more.
Someone else posted that they wanted to fire Bezos off in a rocket never to return. I replied that it would be more appropriate to float him down the Amazon. My comment (and only mine) was banned for “inciting violence”.
I stopped keeping track I also haven’t logged in for almost two years.
Shit, when did they take away Apollo? 2-3 years ago now? That’s when I permanently fucked off.
Almost two years ago. June 2023. The day they announced their fuckery was the last day I logged on.
I just said I wanted to see more CEO blood in the streets. Perfectly harmless sentiment imo.
Cheaper then eggs down there I hear.
did you just say santa isn’t real! 😆
Maybe that’s why I was banned. Spez didn’t know.
I said we used to have a method of dealing with traitors
