There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.

Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.

    I’m officially labeling Reddit as Nazi sympathizers, this isn’t a joke I am completely genuine.

    The reason I know about Lemmy is because a few days ago they permanently suspended my account for “glorifying violence”

    The horrible thing I said was that “I should have a legally protected right to punch Nazis” in a post featuring a video where a big dude knocks a neo nazi the fuck out. They swiftly denied an appeal to this ban as well so fuck me I guess.

    Even if you think that I shouldn’t be allowed to say that, (which is stupid), I don’t think it’s permanent ban sitewide territory, especially when far worse things are happening on that site.

    Some fuckwit had to actually manually flag that, according to their obnoxiously long DM about it.

    On top of everything else they had the balls to say I should “familiarize myself with the TOS” like removed you just banned me from the whole ass site forever I think it’s pretty safe to wipe my ass with the reddit TOS at this point.

      You endorsed violence, that is against terms of service, there is no clause for “it’s ok to endorse violence against people we don’t like”. If you think that a blanket ban against endorsements of violence makes them nazi sympathisers, then you have some growing up to do.

      You only have yourself to blame and you should be careful that you don’t find yourself banned elsewhere.

      I too have been recently banned. I had the audacity to criticize some mods. It’s funny how you’re permanently banned for “glorifying violence” when “justice served,” for example, a sub full of violence glorification, exists. But the violence is directed at bad people, so I guess it gets a pass.
