    I got a permanent ban for quoting a movie, in a post about that movie, because the quote contained a slur. My new account got a permanent ban because I made a joke that wasn’t racist but happened to be about an Indian guy. Reddit sucks ass.

      Well it got to where it was almost an addiction when I had downtime where I was stationed at. I was commenting on stuff maybe like 50 or 60 times per post. Also probably posting about 80 times for links. I tried the button in my inbox where you could fight it being banned and that was of no hope. Then I tried making a different account then they banned me for using multiples.

        For me personally comments are whatever. The problem is posts. With posts we’re still pretty small here so there’s not a lot of content but the content and engagement are fairly balanced. If you’re posting a ton it may end up spreading the engagement thin. I personally might block someone who’s posting 80 posts a day.

            Bro post all you want… You are NOT getting banned for it here.

            We need traffic and engagement to take this removed to the next level.

            The problem is because of the small size I personally browse the “Local” feed by “New”which gives me every post to every community on Lemmy.world

            ETA To be clear; I’m still talking about blocking; not banning.

            Also, I did see at least one community had a soft limit on how much was reasonable to post a day, but I forget which one it was 🤔

      Fair, saying people you don’t like / disagree with should just go die is hate speech, after all.

          That’s a different flavor of statement than saying they should fucking die of lack of oxygen. Learn to understand nuance, mate.

          I agree. But wishing death upon someone because you (and perhaps many others) don’t like them, is hate speech by definition. I kind of understand the ban.

            I have seen it, from my two cents it was actually pretty awful. They saw the body of a dead person and their reaction was “Like and subscribe for this poor dead guy, you guys!”. That was not the time for it IMO.

    Just don’t spam and you’ll be fine, reddit sucks and their broken-ass ban system is regularly abused by bots. They know and don’t give a fuck about fixing it.

    That’s definitely not why you got banned, there are hundreds of spammers on reddit and most of them are still posting.

    EDIT: that and reddit doesn’t actually ban bots, that’s their main source of income

      Bro Reddit is pure bot bullshit. Every sub is just generic Ai scraped questions. My favorite subs are literally 100% inane questions repeated over and over, there’s no content. It’s just “what do you think about XYZ?!” And there’s 4k comments that are almost the same as the last time it was asked. The place is fucking garbage

    No stupid questions, but repeatedly asking variations of the same question referencing your ban from reddit might catch up with you eventually.

      Yeah, while these questions have mostly been too ridiculous to be considered, repeatedly asking what precisely warrants a ban sounds like you’re looking to walk that line.
      Just don’t walk the line and don’t consider your wildest Reddit experiences as that line.

      In particular, there is no point in asking these questions, because as we already elaborated on the first post, no one knows what will get you banned from individual communities or instances, since there’s a lot of different humans involved in the decisions.
      But the community is smaller, so if you’re posting good content and interacting with people in a friendly way, the moderators will likely know you and gladly give you the benefit of the doubt.

    Getting banned from anything on Reddit isn’t exactly a difficult task. Hell I once got banned on some meme sub for something that they refused to tell me what it was lol. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

    I’m happy you’re here. I’m new-ish to Lemmy too, but I’m pretty timid about posting. There are a handful of users I see posting regularly and they’re absolute pillars of the community. So I say go ham! If anyone gets tired of your awesome antics, they can just mute you.

    All of the moderation here is done by actual human beings who are (mostly) reasonable. If they make a mistake, you can just message them, and they’ll fix it. No one is banned by an algorithm.

    In reality, you can’t actually be banned from lemmy, because it’s a federated platform. You can only be banned from an instance.
