They said it’s “threatening violence”, breaking Rule 1
I mean, it is. A punch is a violent action.
And reddit has never ever been shy about enforcing sitewide rules inconsistently. I have no idea why people act all shocked and offended by this shit, it’s why there’s so damn many reddit clones and has been happening for over a fucking decade.
Beyond that, please for the love of all that is good, SHUT THE FUCK UP ONLINE. Go get involved with your local groups and stop incriminating yourself.
Go read up on proper goddamn opsec. Regularly shuffle your online identities and the identifying info connected to them. Learn where the tracking cameras are in your area and routes to avoid them. Ways to spot and shake tails. Ways to discretely shift your appearance so you don’t get picked up wearing the same fucking coat. The tactics that feds and pigs use against resistance movements, how to spot them. How to do first aid and care for allies. Learn your local allies so you recognize newcomers (and potential infiltration).
And stop doing this performative “I’m so tough/hard” shit online. Save the effort for real fucking action. Go do it, and do it in a way that you won’t be the first obvious fucking suspect.
As for me? This online identity is already burned, and my risk profile is not the same as yours, oh valiant nazi puncher. Let those fists swing, but make sure they don’t see it coming.
All good advice that I follow
Well it is threatening violence but that’s the entire point yeah ?
Violence against fascists is defense of humanity
Nazis should be dead. Punching is the compromise
Letting Confederate live is how Trump happened
Punching is just one method to achieve the goal.
Nobody ever said you should stop punching
I mean, my grandfather would probably have said they deserved worse.
NAZIS SHOULD BE PUNCHED.
You deserve it by grossly understating what Nazis deserve. /s
My very first suspension was agreeing that it is always okay to punch a Nazi. That’s how I first found out that there is some controversy about intolerance of Nazis.
Unfortunately Reddit is run by group that prefers the nazis to be rampant on their website, despite what they say in their TOA and so on.
Yep. I picked up 2 temp bans, a sub permanent ban, and then a total ban after 16 years once Reddit went public. All of that in two months. I haven’t changed but the world sure did. One of them was me showing the medical gear you should carry to attend the first No Kings rally. I was “inciting violence” and got banned from my cities /r
Better here anyways. I just needed a push.

would you care to repost that? i wouldn’t mind taking a look
I got bans for checks notes using an anonymizer and deleting an account, then on a new account being told I broke rules for using an anonymizer on a linked account and getting sitewide banned for it because I was “evading bans.”
Can’t wait to anonymize my new throwaway and then request deletion through the california privacy law enabling it.
They have a ton of tech to track you down. I just gave up the app all together. I don’t even click on the goggle search results for Reddit anymore.
I wish there was a browser addon which would create bogus ai slop comments and just save them as drafts.
Admittedly I wish this was built into RES and just happened randomly across reddit. The ai misinformation war needs to start to punish the companies selling user data imo.
The left: Maybe we have to do violence?
Liberals: How dare you!
Nazis: We already did some violence, it was awesome. We’re going to hint at doing more every way we can think of, but stop short of explicitly and unconditionally promising to
Liberals: Well they already did it, so let’s put it behind us.
“Look forward, not backward”
Are you insinuating it’s not the right wing influence on reddit causing this, but rather the “wrong” kind of left wing …? Lemmy is weird.
Cause isn’t so simple. One enables the other.
Look at how neo-Nazis abuse liberalist values to demand a protected platform. “Tolerance”, “free speech”, “anti-violence”, you know they don’t believe in these but they’ll always demand it from you.
I think he’s insinuating that libs enable fascism
There is a trend on this platform for people to be just as mad at center-left people as the fuckin actual Nazis. And it’s counterproductive as fuck
Both can exist simultaneously and share blame.
Yeah, I suppose. It’s just vastly more an issue with the right.
You say banned but you only get banned after repeated violations if what you say is true it was the straw on the camels back. Here on some community I was racially profiled and I told the person to go fuck themselves and my post was removed but not theirs.
We are all just at the mercy of some very insecure and weak mods who feel strong spitting on expression. Reddit is actually better in some regards because there is a degree of accountability, no one is holding these scat instances accountable.
Yes it’s a temporary ban. I’ve had previous accounts fully banned for pro-Palestine content
You say you had multiple accounts banned for pro palestine content but you mean your accounts got banned because you were creating multiple accounts to bypass rule enforcement… lemmy.ml is famous for its political censorship are you just doing this to distract from that? Don’t bullshit a bullshitter.
Reddit’s AI banbots are basically killing the platform leaving nothing but scrapbooking and macrame subs.
Reddit is a shithole
