not a surprise for the 3rd time, spez listened to musk after he demanded that pictures of him be removed from reddit. posts about musks are starting to disappear, and bans likely occured too.(especially the ones about him doing the nazi salut, and the one before he got hair implants.
FWIW the same thing happened to me on the Lemmy subreddit
I once got banned from several subs because of a comment I made in a totally unrelated sub, that some moderator saw, and was offended by.
I don’t remember what it was, but it wasn’t particularly offensive, and it wasn’t even directed at that person, and the mod didn’t even moderate that sub. They just saw it, disagreed, and then banned me from a bunch of subs they modded.
Yep same here. I dont even remember what it was at this point. It started happening so often that I just quit reddit.
I know for at least one I tried to take it to reddit admin as mod abuse but what a joke that was.
You have no right to police my behavior outside of your community and its bullshit reddit allows that kind of abuse of power.

Lol, never run into PugJesus on here huh?
If only it were limited to mutes and bans. They wanted users purged from their comment trees anywhere they go.
Or Jordan.
Lol, piss off one of the Lemmy tankies and see what happens 😆
“The ml experience.”
It’s just missing the part where they call you a fascist pig.
or worse, a liberal!
I just had the opposite problem on Lemmy. I told a mod they were wrong so they promoted me to mod and said “you do it” lol.
How the turns have tabled.
Right, I did see your name somewhere, but I no longer remember the exact community. Anyway you are now and forever tagged “suddenly: mod” in my client!
As someone who used to mod, holy fuck that sounds satisfying.
I think you were the exception that proves the rule.
Last few times I’ve pointed out this behavior on lemmy, lemmy.world and piefed admins did the above to me and others.
Yea the piefed people are peak hypocrisy.
Lmao
That’s hilarious 😆 now if someone corrects you, you can pass the curse
This is how things widely work in nonprofits, churches, and HOAs. Your complaint is interpreted as you volunteering.
Mods vary from objective to fanatical. Overzealous ones thinking they’re doing god’s work by slapping you down isn’t exclusive to reddit, but yeah it’s definitely there.
Let’s also not forget the very manipulative and toxic stuff people did to take over some of the more fringe political subs.
I cant remember the full story but I remember a few years ago reading a wall of text explaining how like 3 users took over a block of conspiracy subs by getting the original owner banned and claiming the subs were unmoderated.
I play FFXIV. I once criticized the producer in an FFXIV subreddit for promising things he doesn’t deliver, I immediately got banned.
The subreddit has nothing to do with Square Enix. Modding in Reddit is just a way for Reddit mods to silence whoever they want without reproach.
man I got banned from so many communities on lemmy just because I had the audacity to throw shit back at the monkeys.
fuck em. I blocked them so I never have to interact with those communities ever again. if mods with fragile egos want to destroy their communities by blanket banning people from everywhere they mod, let em.
How dare you engage in discussion on a discussion site.
The best part of the Fediverse is that you can create your own community on your instance with black jack and hookers; no one can tell you that you can’t do that.
instance with black jack and hookers;
In fact, forget the instance.
Ah, forget the whole thing.
You can be the lord of an empty community.

Went to reddit, made an account so I could chat in the World Cup match threads
Was told I was unable to participate because my account was too new
This message also had a link to message the mods
Click the link, message the mods, explain that I am a human and I’m just here to chat about the World Cup
Mod responds, says my account is brand new, has zero karma, and sees I’ve not once posted in any other subs
Explain to the mod that I don’t really like reddit and that I literally just made my account specifically to talk about the world cup
Got a nasty message back about how the mods don’t have time to answer my messages and that if I don’t like reddit that’s a me problem
I respond explaining that if they don’t have time to answer my messages then why is there a link to message them in the alert about being unable to post?
Muted
Refresh reddit. Red banner. My Account has been temporarily banned on reddit for 3 days for harassment
I’ve had reddit accounts in the past, but I had deleted my last one months ago. Only signed back up because of the world cup. Took maybe 30 minutes to get a sitewide ban and I only got to make one comment that didn’t even show up on the site
Anyway, that’s how I found this place. Although, the World Cup doesn’t seem that popular here :(
I got banned for “hate” for a comment that said “the nips.” Fucking everybody has nipples. It wasn’t even sexual.
I would guess it was interpreted as the slur for Japanese people (perhaps an automod thing - never really used Reddit though so I dunno how these things work in practice.)
Ah yes, the other fun side of the coin.
The funky catch-22 of more than half the site.
“You dont have enough karma to post in this sub.”
“Your post has been removed because your account is too new.”
“Your comment was deleted because you dont have the minimum comment karma to participate.”
Okay…so how to I get karma to even join the community?
-fun fact karma farming is also against the reddit tos. They barely enforce it, but its technically wrong enough that if they flag you for some reason then they can ban you.
What a shit hole.

That’s what I thought
It’s not like a bot cares if it has to wait 3 days before posting
And considering the World Cup is something that only lasts a month anyway, out of all the subs to implement a waiting period, that one seems like one of the worst
“Welcome to reddit, in order to post in the World Cup match threads please miss 10 matches”
REDDITS AI moderation looks at new accounts and old inactive accounts as botting potentials thats why, even getting your comments/ post removal is a potential mark on your account as a bot.

I’m surprised they didn’t just ban you and then immediately mute you, that seems to be the default mod strat on Reddit. Maybe the WC mods are especially argumentative so they don’t?
Power-trippy mods love reporting mod messages as harassment though, even when it’s just some mild disagreement.
One time I got banned from Sub B (a subreddit I’ve never posted in) for posting in Sub A, and when I responded to the mod message asking what the ban reason was for since I’ve never posted in Sub B, they tried to argue some stupid bullshit that I never even said and then clearly reported me for mod harassment even though I barely said anything so I caught a site-wide temp ban, also for 3 days.
And when it comes to 7 day or less site-wide bans, it’s a mystery whether the admins even respond to your appeal before the ban runs out on its own. And then you can catch a perma-ban for getting so many temp-bans anyway even when you successfully appeal them, because it automatically escalates to a perma and the admins won’t do shit about it.
I lost an account that way because I would post about transphobia that I’ve faced, it gets false-flagged by bigots trolling trans subs, and I successfully appealed them, but successful appeals clearly don’t mean anything anyway other than your ban ending sooner.
I love the way everything is harassment to those babies.
Although, the World Cup doesn’t seem that popular here :(
Most people here are boycotting it because of how the US has been behaving, both domestic and internationally… Threatening to invade allies, destroying relationships with other countries that go back to the end of WW2 for literally no gain, and the brutalization and illegal imprisonment of brown people in concentration camps, just to name a few things.
Yeah fuck that. Fuck this country and I hope the whole thing is a massive commercial failure.
Anyway, welcome to Lemmy lol
Had an account for around 8 years, during that time I participated in some more and some less heated arguments on reddit. Had multiple local bans, mostly for some mild stuff whereas the harsher comments would usually slip under the mods’ radar.
My account has been permanently banned on the entire reddit only after I went into discussion with some mods for some .ml-level ridiculous decisions.
Obviously arguing with people with power is an oppression to them.
You have been banned from r/Pyongyang
