    Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn’t really on topic, but it’s happening anyways! I’m hungry.

    I just created a Lemmy account because of this stupid policy. Republicans/Conservatives can spew all manner of hate without consequence and we upvote “Elbows Up” (a hockey term BTW) and we get banned? Screw that.

    I barely used Reddit - good riddance, this is what spurred me to sign up here. The right wing infestation of social media is nasty.

    Thats some goddamn thought police shit.

    Also tells you how goddamn awful the powers that be are, that the only way they can stop criticism of their badness is to ban anyone that even gives the lowest effort agreement with the criticism.

    10 years on reddit, surprised about my comments never getting the same traction as identical comments. 3 days ban for insinuating a billionaire performing a Nazi salute may indeed be a Nazi, second ban for insinuating violent action sometimes needs to be taken in defense of democracy. Permaban for (politely and positively) judging the looks of someone that asked to be judged through a photography, and clearly needed lo lift up their self-esteem.

    I rage quit reddit and delete my account that I opened long ago with the Google account I have recently cancelled.

    I decide that maybe it deserves a second chance, so I create a new account with the email I account I host myself in my own server with my own domain.

    The exact same comments I posted, with the exact same content and intention now get thousands of upvotes (so clearly, I had been shadowbanned for years)

    Fuck them. Hello community, looking forward to have constructive interactions here.

    Reddit is turning into an American-dominated oligarchy. That’s why I moved to Lemmy. Hi everyone!

    Perma banned because I wished c-ncer on a pro-Israel troll. Is that an earned ban you guys think?

      I got banned when I saw someone say trans kids should be hunted in schools, and I told them I wish they’d get hit with a brick.

    Well, exactly the same can and is happening on specific Lemmy servers too.

    One of the vegan instances bans you if you downvote anything that speaks in favour of veganism. Not that I just do this out of spite, but there was this time where a thread about vegan cat food gained traction and I downvoted some comments that were really borderline. Ban within an hour.

    Same on that notorious star trek instance. Go ahead and put some downvotes on Discovery related posts, it will also earn you a temporary ban.

    So let’s not pretend that it’s only big bad reddit doing this.

      Yes, Lemmyverse will fragment, so it’s important to choose sufficiently permissive instances or even run your own.

    I’ve been a Redditor for 13 years. I read the Admin explanation and the Mods reactions and immediately downloaded Lemmy. I’m still gonna lurk just to watch the chaos but fuck that noise with someone else’s dick thank you very much.

    This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.
