      Knowing the average redditor, they probably had like 6900 posts about Luigi (or every of those banned words) every hour for weeks.

      I don’t blame the mods for dealing that way with karma-addicted redditards.

    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

          They definitely don’t read them, because I got banned for making a very obvious (ridiculous) joke and I explained that in my one measly appeal message that for sure went ignored.

            There’s also the possibility that they do read them, they’re just humourless morons that don’t understand the difference between a joke and a threat on someone’s life.

      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!”

        It’s much easier to just look at the mod logs then to sort through a bunch of code.

        Just FYI

      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.

    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

      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…

          Don’t get me wrong, banning words is stupid and gives us the Scunthorpe problem and I am very glad that we have an alternative to Reddit because its just a cesspit.

          The subreddit “r/unpopularOpinions” was not full of unpopular opinions, and the words banned were obviously popular opinions because everyone talked about them until the API change and the regime cracked down.

          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”.

      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?

      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.
