I didn’t get banned because of up-voting, but something else happened. I posted something about being vigilant about Microsoft being friendly towards linux since they had a history of “Embrace Extend Extinguish” and “Halloween Papers” without resorting to any words or actions promoting violence towards them, but the reddit moderators warned me I would be banned if I continued posting such opinions.

Just recently I posted another un-related posting asking a question about how to configure a bridge/tap for Qemu and my posting got entirely deleted without explaining to me why.

So yes, I’m feeling censored quite a bit with reddit. I just want to participate, discuss, express in a non-violent peaceful means. I do hope lemmy.ml is more welcoming and less moderated/censored.

Thank you for listening.

The votes aren’t private? Probaly without any encryption, but private.
