Linked that Bill Hicks standup routine where he encourages marketers to kill themselves. Must have hit too close to home for some loser admin who nuked my account for inciting violence.

I belive they called it “advocating violence”

Multiple reasons really, one of which was telling a guy who wanted to put low IQ people in concentration camps “you first”.

Lol I recently had a comment removed from the bogleheads subreddit because some guy was talking about buying a bit more of their usual index fund purchases if the market were to dump 20% in a day. Someone asked how they’d do it and I said “probably just shift a bit from emergency fund and build it back over the next month or two.”

Cue the True Bogleheads ripping me for suggesting “timing the market.” I said “this is, of course, fine.” And they went nuclear. That comment got removed and I replied to the mod with “You got your head pretty far up your bogle there, bud.” That got me a 3 day full reddit ban. Worth it.

For the uninitiated, bogleheads are basically just adherents to a popular passive investing philosophy. I agree completely with it, but it was hilarious to me how dogmatic - borderline religious - they were about “timing the market” with zero nuance or recognition that it’s just not that serious.

I got banned from a bunch of subreddits by making one comment in Asmingold…and it was a comment against. Then got sent this pm saying if you delete your comment and apologize we will reconsider you. I told em to fuck off I’ll speak how I like. Censorship is censorship. Wasn’t long before I deleted all my posts and comments on by one manually and killed off my 14 year old account.

I got banned from a subreddit because the mod had this "not with us, you are against us"argument. It was years ago, but IIRC I was posting against a comment calling for assaulting men to balance out the abuse of women.

To be honest, I think I may have seen more banning on Lemmy though. I’ve noticed a few cases where the admins have banned people with objectionable opinions. In all fairness, these were the type people you would avoid at parties, but it does give me pause. In reddit if you get banned from a particular subreddit you still keep your identity and participate in other subreddits. In Lemmy, you are at the mercy of your server, and if a large server bans you, it would essentially remove you from all of their communities that otherwise might accept you. I worry that this is creating an echo chamber.

Remember when Elon Musk had that black eye and said his son punched him? I said “can’t blame him”. Which is, of course, glorifying violence.

Banned for going after Israel and IDF shills promoting hate speech and calling for violence. Clear violations of the TOS, even back in 2023, but reporting it got me perma-banned after 13 years.

On a video of an ICE agent, jumping out of his civilian vehicle and pointing an automatic weapon At some people, I simply suggested that it would be hilarious if someone jumped in his car and drove it away. He left the driver door wide open, and I seriously doubt he took his keys with him. I just thought it would be funny to see him react to that. It wasn’t a permaban, but it was enough to get me to jump ship.

For posting a video that I didn’t post.

I blocked all the tattler bots and a bunch of the witch hunters on AHS. Then I spoke my right leaning mind. Shortly after made a bunch of pro-Luigi jokes.

1st time: no idea - got shadowbanned 2nd time: laughing at charlie kirk

I got permabanned for saying billionaires deserve death one too many times.

Calling for Elon Musk to get burned by the Canadian government for subsidy fraud. They took me literally, instead of recognizing the term for when a government disavows, or cuts all ties with a person or business, is called getting “burned”.

Thankfully lemmy doesn’t have thought crime and your welcome to engage in good faith discussion of any topic.
