    Let them come, and also fuck reddit. You’re banned for a comment that was deleted, you can’t see what you said to determine how it violated the rules. You get one message for an appeal. Do you feel lucky? Well do you…punk!

        They must not, I got banned for quoting eat the rich by Aerosmith and nothing with the appeal. Like that cannot be a bannable offence

      And around here you can see any mod removals by clicking “source”. It’s like a big red flag saying, “Read this because the mod doesn’t want you to!”

      I got banned for telling someone to crawl back in their hole because they said female genital mutilation was horrible but that circumcision was fine because it looks better.

    Given how monotonous Lemmy is with the same topics being posted ad nauseum, I can 100% see why the Reddit moderators would do this.

            Bruh their point is literally “nothing interesting because people keep repeating slogans without even reading or understanding”. And you keep doing it.

            Nobody said anything about CEOs. You added your own narrative.

                I’m commenting on the comment chain. The post is about banning keywords. The chain is about Lemmy droning on about the same topics without anything new to say. There is nothing about billionaires here, yet the one I responded to had to make it about that, proving the OP right, then going deeper in.

              It reads to me that they are complaining about the number and nature of Lemmy posts around topics featured in the image, captioned Luigi and largely revolving around the actions he took against a CEO. Im also tired of seeing people complain / Pearl clutch about the one time americans got close to class consciousness.

      “I believe Brian Thompson was actually a pretty cool guy”

      DISCLAIMER: I in no way actually think this. This is just an example of one of those banned subjects being used correctly in that sub.

    Censorship disguised as moderation. This is exactly what killed reddit. You can’t have a discussion over there without getting banned, it’s just individual echo chambers who all censor and ban each other

      Or, hear me out, maybe people were tied of way too many posts in the community being about recent politics, so moderators took action on that?

      It’s not a good look to be broadly banning those words, but it seems to me like there’s a reasonable and obvious expansion.

        that’s easily dissuaded by no re-posts or reddits algorithm burying those. The problem was more likely because they were popular and highly engaged so they had to step in. Fucking “spez” is in there and you still feel the need to play devil’s advocate?

      Hate to break it to you but reddit isn’t dead.

      I still go on reddit. In a lot of ways it’s a lot worse than it used to be. It’s way more corporate. Huge portions of the site seem sanitized, often in obvious and eyeroll inducing ways. There’s also a lot less content in general. The content that does exist is lower effort, and way more repetitive.

      However in some ways it’s genuinely better. The discourse is a lot less toxic than it used to be. A lot of genuine cruelty wrapped in virtue signaling that defined the site from 2018 to 2022 is either gone or greatly diminished. It’s also slightly less of an echo chamber.

      I think what happened is that after the mobile apocalypse, a lot of the power users left the platform. While these people contributed a lot to the site, they were also extremely toxic people with an even more warped worldview.

      The mods are a reflection of this. They are more corporate, which leads to a lot of censorship like this. However it also means that scrolling is quite a bit more pleasant.

      Overall I spend more time on Reddit than Lemmy. There’s very little content here once you filter out all the outrage bait.

        It’s just a list of nouns and proper nouns. Depending on what your post is, it could be a very unpopular opinion! Censoring words is why I won’t ever go back to Reddit…

          I don’t know about that. People post obviously popular opinions repeatedly if they aren’t banned.

          Unpopular opinion, but I dislike the top ten Christmas songs

          Yeah, no shit. Even though they are the “top ten”.

      Then they don’t vote and NEVER figure out that they were manipulated into inaction, they were given that extra nudge to sit and stay home on Election Day.

    Lets be honest it’s not like lemmy is any different, just on the other side of the fence. Probably even worse.
