Turns out hating on conservatists and praising ceo killers is too much of a popular opinion for that sub, is that what they want to say?
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!
You get one message for an appeal.
They don’t even read the appeals
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.
I got banned because I made a joke about a dead pornstar in r/entertainment
Shitty. Reddit mods can suck a fart out of my ass.
Graphic. I’d like them to French kiss my hairy balloon knot.
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.
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
Sort through a bunch of code? They’re referring to a button in the UI.
Holiday?
How dare you!!!
Greta is allowed
But Luigi from hit video game mode Luigi’s casino isn’t.
Oh boy, time to breakout the non-ASCII look-a-like characters! Lol
Maybe because he is a popular opinion /s
Unpopular Opinion: Reddit admins are doing a great job and I’m ever so sad I don’t visit anymore.
Last time I visited it it was full of climate deniers and other alternative facts
Now that’s an unpopular opinion
Love Reddit free speech
Is this really so bad? I mean… I get it. When you’re trying to moderate something with thousands of posts, and a ton start coming in that are low effort/bot posts saying things like “unpopular opinion: I support Luigi” or “unpopular opinion: I am glad Biden won’t be president” it makes sense. Those are just such constant topics with such a wide range of ideals. Whereas an unpopular opinion they might want to spur conversation would be “unpopular opinion: I don’t mind my socks being damp or wet” otherwise it’s just constant shitposts.
Plus, Reddit isn’t the (US) government. Your expectation of free speech should be null.
It’s part of a larger trend of social media blackouts, this is bad because it lets the wealthy control our discource in the furtherance of their oligarchic aims.
Definitely agree with you on that.
Plus, Reddit isn’t the (US) government.
When your policy is so bad your only defense of it is “technically we didn’t violate your civil rights”, maybe reconsider it.
Your rights as a person and citizen don’t magically extend everywhere. Otherwise you turn into a sovereign citizen. This weird obsession on Lemmy with this idea you should be able to say whatever you want online anywhere is fucking stupid and weird. A website is like another business or home (or even a newspaper… which at times has also pulled ideas they don’t agree with). You’re showing up to it. If you don’t like the rules in one place, go to another (or read a different paper). Or make your own.
Also, I love the irony of me making an unpopular opinion comment on a post about unpopular opinion.
What you miss is people aren’t arguing from a constitutional perspective. They’re saying that it’s fucking ridiculous that sites like reddit censor perfectly legal speech while also billing themselves as bastions of free speech.
There is a certain logic to it. If you want to bill your site as a public square, then maybe you shouldn’t censor anything other than speech that is actually illegal. It is not illegal to say things in support of Luigi Mangione. In fact, it’s perfectly legal, and totally Constitutionally protected, for me to go right now and hold a big sign in front of NYPD headquarters saying, “Luigi Mangione is a saint, and I hope to see a hundred more like him!” The law restricts true threats, but those are defined way, way narrower than many on social media seem to think.
People aren’t saying that reddit or other platforms can’t censor content on their platform, they obviously can. But you also shouldn’t bitch about people pointing out the rank hypocrisy of sites that bill themselves as public squares censoring content to serve their corporate overlords.
I don’t disagree with some of your points, but I also don’t believe that Reddit really ever said it was a free speech platform. Twitter has for sure (because of Elon), but Reddit has really been a “front page of the internet” believer. They felt more like an aggregator and newspaper. Which definitely has a lot of censoring and opinion blocking in the world of print too. I mean, remember when they got rid of jailbait or space dicks, was that a speech problem? Some felt it was, but it was definitely something we all realized was wrong and that a private company tries to protect its “brand.” Obviously being on Lemmy and leaving after the API change means I didn’t agree with them and I found another place that aligned more with my values.
You holding that sign up though is legal, however only on public property, and only if you’re taking up less than half of the sidewalk and not in the path of traffic. You also cannot use an amplified device (unless you’ve filled out the permit) and your sign cannot be on any wood or metal sticks. If you step onto private property you can be asked to leave or removed. That last one is also something that just like a website isn’t restricting your right to free speech, just that a specific building/business/owner doesn’t want to be in support of it.
In the end, why are we all still talking about Reddit. This site definitely has users that love going back to their crazy ex to fuck and then realizing it’s still crazy like as if it would change.
This weird obsession on Lemmy with this idea you should be able to say whatever you want online anywhere is fucking stupid and weird.
I don’t think talking about current events in a shit posting sub rises to the level of “weird obsession”.
If we’re talking about the Unpopular opinion subreddit (what the image is from). They also had President, presidency, Trump, and spez. They’re just big things that end up with a lot of garbage. A sub about unpopular opinions filled with the same “Donald Trump bad” becomes boring and annoying.
If we’re talking about the Lemmy Shitpost community then they specifically call out no derogatory language towards anyone’s Race, gender, or religion. Is that trampling your civil liberties?
They’re just big things that end up with a lot of garbage.
The whole community is shitposts.
Reddit unpopular opinion mode are bunch of cretins. They banned me for posting unpopular opinion 😂
r/unpopularopinion is for posting mostly popular opinions that some people nonetheless disagree with. Truly unpopular opinions, even well thought out ones, almost always get downvoted.
Because people are trained to downvote things that suck everywhere else on the Internet
What did you post?
Spez should be Adjusted.
That’s quite dumb. Besides blatantly violating the one site-wide rule we’ve been pretty lenient with here on Lemmy, you’re suggesting someone gives their life to rid us of Spez?!? THAT is your priority?
Green Mario
I don’t see The Adjuster there 😏
Some of those are understandable to be banned from Unpopular Opinion because they’re actually quite popular opinions. 🤷🏻♂️
“I believe Brian Thompson was actually a pretty cool guy”
DISCLAIMER: I in no way actually think this. This is just an example of one of those banned subjects being used correctly in that sub.
“Mario’s brother”
“The Mansion Owner”
“Splattered Brain Thompson”
“CE Oh shit the consequences of my actions!”
“Wa-Waluigi”
Green Mario
Mr. L, aka “the Green Thunder”.
“Gooigi”
“Green Man”
“The Italian”
“The Adjuster”
“L Man”
“LM”
“LLM”
And so on and so forth
“the Orange Man”
Can’t talk about trump, but go ahead and talk about Biden as much as you want
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.
