Ate a three day ban after talking about Lemmy
Reddit's automod thing says I threatened violence and harm and. I dunno? But I recall effectivly advocating against harm in the subs where discussion was going on. However It's funny. The morning after I remind folk that 'oh hey the corporate platforms, including reddit, will try to stifle discussion of altenritives' I eat a ban wit ha YOU WERE INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST PEOPLE warning.
...As I said.
They would not fear us, if we could not harm them.
Don't fuck around with Reddit, it's become an unchecked consent-manufacturing machine masquerading as a web 2.0 forum and if you consistently speak your mind on there it's only a matter of time until you get on some power-hungry moderator or admin's shitlist with zero means to communicate or reciprocate. Save yourself the grief and leave it to die, it's become literally what federated sites were created to make obsolete.
I’ve had this exact same thing happen to me. Just minutes after I mentioned lemmy, I got a warning for supposedly threatening violence in a totally different post. I deleted my account of 13 years as a consequence. Not gonna play this game.
You're not the only one. I got a perma ban talking about protesting for insighting violence as well. Talk about anything political all and you're a violent person i guess 🤷
Same, but it was a blessing in disguise because I'm here now and don't miss reddit one little bit, fuck 'em.
Eh, I have spent about a year on Lemmy and I have seen way, way more calls of direct violence and inciting violence here in the last few months on Lemmy than I ever saw in multiple years on Reddit. If I had known how Lemmy would turn out, I wouldn't have come here. It was cool in the beginning when the people were still nice, but Lemmy users have become so aggressive lately. I can see why someone might consider Lemmy a platform that incites violence, the users give plenty of ammo for that.
I think you got hit with a wrong timing thing. Almost like poking a hornets nest, you might have thought you were being helpful or whatever, but things are so volatile there that it wasn't the right time.

You, uh, you think what's happening in the world might have some effect on all this, or nah?

What communities are you talking about? I'm subscribed to many dozens here, and I can't remember ever seeing calls for violence in the Lemmysphere.
You don't have to use Lemmy.
