Some of the new Reddit mods are so toxic. Instead of apologizing for the bot being too harsh and reinstating my submission, they just banned me because I dared to ask what exactly I didn’t “punctuate correctly”.
Rofl banned from fkn shower thoughts the bastion of scholarly integrity
This isn’t new. Reddit mods have been like this for a decade or more. And the admins let them get away with it because they get free labour from them.
Everybody knows you shouldn’t talk about periods, silly.
Wow, they almost got close to the arbitrary bans you get on lemmy
Arbitrary bans do happen on Lemmy. However they’re like a drop of piss in an ocean of piss, once you compare them with Reddit. No matter what you do there, some assumptive piece of shit will put its words into your mouth, and if that assumer is a mod you are getting banned.
It’s not a drop in a bucket, it’s about the same if not worse.
I don’t know how that can be. I was banned from several places on reddit, but not a one across all the fediverse, and I’m much more active here than I was in reddit
Nah.
Even if someone might argue that Lemmy has plenty hivemind bans, arbitrary bans - like the one shown in the OP, or caused by a mod lacking basic reading comprehension - are relatively uncommon. Apples and oranges, you know.
I’m guessing it was for lacking a period at the end of a sentence, even though as a title it’d be entirely appropriate without one. Plus the original quotes were totally fine. What a bunch of sanctimonious puckerbutt assheads. I used to hang around r/grammar and the shit the showerthoughts mods are pulling would never stand over there because it’s based on descriptivism. Any community with excessive grammar nazi shit written into the rules is already lost.
The only way to use reddit is to never post. Read it if you need to, but use strong anti trackers and ad blocks. This way they won’t get to use or abuse you.
