Did users of other subreddit-logos also get hit with these or were we privileged?

I feel like it was just an excuse to hamper activity on the sub or they would have told you what the rule-breaking post was.

    I’m 99% sure it was targeted at the CTH sub. They don’t even have the rule against promoting violence anymore, they got rid of it at the start of the invasion of Ukraine. If you check the old subreddit it says it was banned for promoting hate.

          One time a turbolib told me that the subreddit universally wanted Trump to win based on a handful of users saying it as a hypothetical. When I explained this to them, they pivoted to arguing that we wanted Trump to win because we break the rules.

          I remember one of the admins had a buried comment from several years prior to the CTH incidents where he expressed worry that the working class would enslave the upper class and the only way to keep on top of it was to keep themselves on top, in a reddit comment.

          People connected thats why they where so sensitive about people saying to kill slave owners though; the upper class are genuinally terrified of a popular movement that romanovs them.

        It’s very uncivil to say slave owners should be killed 😤 You need to consider both sides of the issue of owning human beings as property.

        The sub was quarantined for calling for death to slave owners. It was banned for “Hate speech against cops”.

      lmao really? That’s so blatant. Did they write a post about it or just removed it silently?

      Its a classic case of the Leopards Eating Faces Party discovering a leopard on their face.

      Lemmy is full of victims of friendly fire, Radlibs and Trumpsters and 3%ers and the occasional leftist who pissed off the wrong mod, and anyone with a personality more interesting than toilet paper who bucked the narrative one time too many.

    The only suspension I ever got on Reddit was when I criticised modern animal agriculture. I didnt even know that you could get suspensions just from upvoting, now I wonder how many if any of the multitudes of transphobes on that hellsite got hit with this.

    They stopped even pretending to report what it was that you did that was in violation of some undeclared rule. And since the entire admin system is just three poor bastards in the Philippines getting gore-bombed until their eyes bleed, there’s no real way to challenge or appeal any of this shit.

    One more reason why you shouldn’t fuck with Reddit. Or, if you absolutely feel compelled because has the obscure info you’re after, maintain a pile of alt-accounts that you can rotate through on a browser in Piracy Mode Incognito Mode so you don’t have to worry about tracking cookies.

      Honestly I never got one either. I never posted particularly hard on the old site so maybe that’s why? Not sure though, I certainly would have up voted any number of ‘rulebreaking’ posts.

  • Got a couple. One for calling a chud cracker, then when he cried about it I called him Ritz or something. Another time I said that if the justice system in Romania was worth anything, they’d remove Andrew Taint from society permanently.
