    They banned the infamous turtle mod. Not because he was a horrible and abusive mod, but because he protested Reddit’s API changes that killed third party apps. It just sends the message that as long as you align with the company, then you can abuse their users all you want.

      Talking about “Other Product” in the “Product” sub and getting banned is a tale as old as time. So obvious that the mod community is overrun with corporate accounts and their influencer subcontractors.

      Most of Lemmy’s population comes from Reddit “immigrants”, so alot of people probably care about Reddit

    FatPeopleHate, not because they did it, but because they promoted a woman to be in charge of it exclusively so they could throw her under the bus for it, and the sweats of reddit bought the whole thing hook line and sinker

      Is “sweat” the term for a collective of reddit users, much in the way a murder is the term for a collective of crows?

    I made an off-color joke and got banned from reddit itself for a whole week.

    This joke was made by several other people in the same reddit post, by the way, because it was low hanging fruit due to the topic at hand.

    I got banned from r/entertainment because I said I thought Lizzo’s outfit she wore at her DC/crystal flute appearance was ugly. Nothing about her or about Madison’s crystal flute or any of that, just that I thought her outfit was ugly.
