I just got a ban for “encouraging violence”. Someone asked “what will you do to celebrate when he dies?” Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they’d put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians’ careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.
So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.
And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It’ll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.
It’s somewhat the same here. Don’t disagree with the mob too much or you’ll get banned. And don’t disagree with a friend of the admins or you’ll get banned from a big instance.
And of course, you won’t see this because you’re on lemmy.world.
How’re you disagreeing with the mob? Conservatism is rarely tolerated here, but I’ve outright trolled our instance admins without repercussions. They’re lovely people.
Wow. It’s even dumber than I thought. Apparently my lemmy.world account was banned and they considered this an “alt”. I wasn’t even using it for months since I settled on sh.itjust.works. It appears to have been because I said you can block people you don’t like so stop complaining in a general post.
