Someone made a post with a picture of a blonde haired blue eyed child. The title was “Would you slap this child for 88 million dollars?”
I said “Slap!?!?? I would eat that child’s still beating heart for 88 million dollars.”
Next day I log in to find out I had been temp banned for 7 days for sexualization/abuse of a minor.
I uninstalled Reddit. That was 11 days ago and I haven’t been back. Context is important. Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars to eat a child’s heart. Not to mention, do you really want to make deals with people that can offer that to you? I mean, I wouldn’t.
All this has led me to realize. I don’t want to be part of a community with no sense of humor.
I would post a link but not only was my comment deleted. The thread was too I think.
I once created a LPT post about how rotating different shampoos can help prevent your body from developing tolerance (this is still a great LPT by the way; if you have dandruff or some other bodily condition like dry skin and your shampoo or lotion loses efficacy over time, try buying a few different types and rotating your usage so you don’t develop tolerance). Aaaanyway, my post got deleted for being “medical advice.” Reddit kids are the worst.
That’s like an actual advice I got from an hairdresser when I was younger. Absolutely cleared my dandruff issue
Interesting! I’ll keep that knowledge somewhere. I have psoriasis. So, thanks!
Fuck Reddit.
I got banned once for saying that a drug cartel head honcho deserved the death penalty (or something like that, I don’t recall the details). This was after a story where a bunch of people in Mexico or some South American country were found murdered in some gruesome ways and the head honcho was caught but then escaped. You can’t escape if you’re dead.
So someone on Reddit was offended because I said that a drug cartel kingpin who had dozens (or maybe hundreds) of murders under his belt should be removed from the gene pool. And then to make things worse, some moron Reddit agreed eith them.
Fuck Reddit.
Huh my dog just alerted like he heard something.
Removed by mod
Bro, I don’t know how to tell you this…but I think you’re dog’s a Nazi.
Good dog. Give pupper a steak for me!
That’s not a Reddit thing, you’ll find Lemmy mods here who would ban you for less. And probably elsewhere too.
I find the topic itself dumb honestly, so garbage in, garbage out. If anything, if I were a mod I’d remove the OP, unless the sub is for stupid topic, in which case they can’t complain about stupid answers. Again, not Reddit specific.
I read about a similar situation recently … a thread where people were joking around about NSFW stuff and someone commented “that guy must be hung” (as in “big member”) and got suspended for hate speech / inciting violence because the mod apparently thought they meant “go hang that guy” (as in execute).
So yes, context matters greatly, especially when dealing with snarky comments and reactions to shitposts, where people usually aren’t as serious.
When people don’t know the difference between hung and hanged, unnecessary bans happen.
Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars
The best I can do is aboot three fiddy.
I don’t care. I love that. I play deep rock galactic, and there is a thing where the dwarves yell “Die Monster!”, and I think about that every time.
I was hoping the over used tree fiddy meme would die or at least not come over to lemmy.
Bring back dickbutt and let tree fiddy die please
Once Loch Ness is finally subdued, the meme will die.
Agreed
User makes worst joke ever, asked to leave reddit.
That’s a pretty average joke when talking about such absurd hypotheticals.
Still, I think my own joke’s funny.
Consider deleting your account fully
Ironically, you can only access that by using the reddit app…
I got it to work by opening in my mobile Firefox based browser and going into desktop mode, so clearly r€ddit isn’t doing good enough work to block people from accessing it.
The “would you” was lame. The joke was pedestrian.
It’s all extremely underwhelming. 0/5 all around.
This is the most middle-school post I’ve seen since leaving Reddit. Jesus christ.
I uninstalled Reddit
What?
There’s a whole new group of reddit users who only know it via the official mobile app. Gone are the days when people were playing spot the mobile user, it’s quickly becoming “Spot the old reddit user”.
I only browsed Reddit from my phone. I have a nice computer, but she’s for gaming. I mean obviously she can do more, but I have a keyboard where I only connect the wasd side. If I want to use Reddit I have to connect the other side of the keyboard.
You know you can use a browser on a phone right??
Of course. But, I can’t view nsfw content until I log in. Using the app is just way more convenient. Also, my VPN makes the homepage be in a language I don’t understand until I log in. It’s just a hassle.
If I was going to do that, I’d just reinstall the app.
I got perma banned on my original account for telling someone to “crawl back in their hole”
Apparently that’s “telling someone to kill themselves”
At least that’s what the power tripping mod told me.
This is my second temporary ban. I have a similar username on Reddit. A couple of people were saying that I was a trash human for having this username. So I told one of them “I love you. I unironically hope you have a long and happy life. I hope that all the good things happen to you.”
That apparently is harassment.
It’s an awesome name. I wonder if people were pissed off about the muhammad part, the Jesus part, or the gay sex part?
Well, it’s weird how each religion chose to interact with me. I have had that account for over 6 years. So, I’ve had quite a bit of experience.
The Muslims were interesting. Mostly, I would get a private message, and someone would politely ask if I would change my name. This happened like 4 or 5 times. They would explain that they found my username offensive, and explain how it wasn’t ok, but in the end would just say it was my choice and go away.
The slightly more serious Muslims would send me a private message to tell me that someone would be relieving me of my head. They would unleash a tirade calling me something horrible. That only happened like 2 times I think.
Christians on the other hand are usually content to pay me no mind. But, when they do feel froggy it’s always very public and more like getting ganked. Several show up it’s a whole thing.
But, I try to avoid those situations. I’m old by internet standards. I really try to spend most of my time. Sharing my old person knowledge and generally trying to be helpful.
I originally made this username as a joke, because my partner took my other username and filled it with porn subs.
I used to mod some big subs and saw one of the dumbest ways the admins banned someone.
So one of the mods I knew posted a video of a picture containing a microwave with Alvin & The Chipmunks photoshopped in. The video had audio of a microwave turned on with high pitched screaming too.

That 14 second video he posted on a sub he modded got the admins to permanently ban him across Reddit and then refuses to ever reply to him when he asked why. It was perfectly acceptable for that subreddit too.
Hell I even started a conversation with some admins for some other issues and asked them about it. They ignored that question completely lol.
I don’t regret leaving that site. I do regret modding big subs tho lmao.

This happened in holup. One of the most ridiculous subs. I mean since they got rid of spacedicks and watchpeopledie. You know, all the good stuff.
Most of spacedicks was just stupid stuff (and I think one or two actual space dicks) last time I looked. It was the kind of sub you’d browse once for the laughs and then never have any urge to go back unless someone linked to it. And the warnings were waaaaaayyyy overdone, to the point that when it got banned I remember being shocked that anyone would genuinely be offended by it.
I’ll never understand it, lol. But now I don’t have to, so there’s that. Couldn’t pay me to go back now.
Reddit mods are paid not in money, but in the smallest amount of power you can imagine. That dynamic most often attracts stupid people who are willing to work for free and want to abuse that power.
This filter makes for the worst combination at the magic the gathering subr. With the kind of people who get over competitive and complicated about low ELO magic, finding the ones who want to be internet police really leaves the dreggs in charge.
i got banned from a sports team subreddit for being upset about the team. that’s how sports works
MuhammadJesusGaySex isn’t a pathetic attempt at instigating people or anything…
0/10
And reposting this after getting voted down is even worse. What kind of sadness is your life???
I, for one, welcome our gay sex prophet overlords. In fact, my religion of “Gay Sex Prophetism” requires it. However, we strongly believe fish must have a sex and “Potato fish” is extremely insulting.
