Reddit mods ban for "not punctuating correcttly"
Reddit mods ban for "not punctuating correcttly"
Attached: 1 image Some of the new Reddit mods are so toxic. Instead of apologizing for the bot being too harsh and reinstating my submission, they just banned me because I dared to ask what exactly I didn't "punctuate correctly".

47Rofl banned from fkn shower thoughts the bastion of scholarly integrity
34This isn't new. Reddit mods have been like this for a decade or more. And the admins let them get away with it because they get free labour from them.
24Everybody knows you shouldn't talk about periods, silly.
15I'm guessing it was for lacking a period at the end of a sentence, even though as a title it'd be entirely appropriate without one. Plus the original quotes were totally fine. What a bunch of sanctimonious puckerbutt assheads. I used to hang around r/grammar and the shit the showerthoughts mods are pulling would never stand over there because it's based on descriptivism. Any community with excessive grammar nazi shit written into the rules is already lost.
12The only way to use reddit is to never post. Read it if you need to, but use strong anti trackers and ad blocks. This way they won’t get to use or abuse you.
6Ngl i see on the internet people making fun of other people who have bad grammer usually youtube and discord and i hate that

1Wow, they almost got close to the arbitrary bans you get on lemmy
-17So I posted this in !politicalmemes@lemmy.world:
Let's say this:
I have no idea if you are a shill or a genuine person. But, there are some behaviors that are bad things to do regardless of which you are:
- Recasting your opponents' views as other ones that make less sense and are easier to argue against, consistently, as a way of muddling the discourse, instead of being honest about what you're saying and what you are disagreeing with and why, and just letting your point of view speak for itself whether or not I personally would agree with it
- Consistently posting a drumbeat of memes in support of your viewpoint (within that same dishonest framing)
I mean, you can do what you want to do. I'm not gonna try to tell you you are or aren't allowed to say whatever suits you. But to me, saying "fuck the whole US politics join my coalition for positive change we need a level of change that the current system will not allow" would make sense. Sounds great. I actually would be right there in that coalition. Anything from Bernie Sanders to Ralph Nader to someone further out-there who is working for something to produce actual change in some other way.
But if instead of that, you misrepresent the "other side"'s viewpoint "fascism is so bad that we need to resist it even if the alternative involves continuing the US's longstanding policy of allowing some war crimes," as if it was "I <3 war crimes and genocide", and post a drumbeat of attack against specifically the least war-crime-friendly big contingent in US politics, I think people will wind up accusing you of bad faith. They've got a right to say that too.
I mean, does that seem fair? If you were posting a big stream of memes about how to put pressure on Biden to do more (like, a fuck of a lot more) to stop the crimes, or in favor of some faction that was plausibly able to produce a better outcome, I don't think you would be getting near this level of derisive responses. But the message you're sending doesn't match the outcome you say you want. I think that's why you are getting these maybe unfair accusations.
Removed. Rule 1, civility.
I got a permanent ban for some other, less friendly, interactions on the same day. But that one decision always stuck out to me as a shining example of the moderation quality on Lemmy.
14Arbitrary bans do happen on Lemmy. However they're like a drop of piss in an ocean of piss, once you compare them with Reddit. No matter what you do there, some assumptive piece of shit will put its words into your mouth, and if that assumer is a mod you are getting banned.
