      Meanwhile I fled to Lemmy from Reddit because I need a place to show art without being under some platform whose vision and actions I don’t support

      i guess most of us dont know a lot about the whole fediverse stuff. but the longer you are here, the more you will learn about it. so far, it’s pretty interesting!

      No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?

        They ban people very selectively and its always ideologically motivated. There was a period of time where you would get a 3-day ban for just upvoting the wrong posts. So you could lurk and still get banned for some reason. That happened to me multiple times before I decided to delete my account.

            I downvoted an unpopular admin comment once and got suspended for 3 days for “brigading”. It was in the negative thousands.

            Nevermind I went to the subreddit for announcements, found that heavily downvoted comment, thought it added nothing to the discussion, because it was fundamentally ridiculous in my mind, and they determined that those actions constituted “brigading”.

        A popular french redditor who had a fun passion fir road signage got banned from reddit to state in a right-wing reddit (/r/europe) about the riots in France, that sometimes you only get progress through violence. He was banned for promoting violence.

        Commenting “GUILLOTINE!” at some political news was likely considered promoting violence enough so that the /r/france mods got instructions from reddit mods.

        I feel like this happened because of the Jan 6th coup attempt in Washington. I totally understand their position, but it is a bit tiring that Americans believe that their own political mindset of the moment is universal. France has far more legal restrictions on free speech yet it feels like American media censor themselves much more.
