Just got a 3 day ban on Reddit for expressing I wouldn’t be sad about the death of a certain self-described christian nationalist that practically calls for queer people to be killed on a dally basis.
No regrets. Gives me a reason not to go there and use Lemmy more.

I am here because I was used to good faith. I ended up not posting on Reddit for a while, and the used to be moderate places turned into hellscapes. TLDR and your wrong does nothing to enrich me after writing a pretty good paragraph. For example, on why autism isn’t all that bad. Just being positive about, or being autistic, makes you a mass downvote target in some spaces.
Then, especially when the Subreddits that were supposed to be one thing turned into another (for example, LGBTQI+ becoming toxic towards LGBTQI+ from the mods or the biggest trans server being transphobic at the moderation). I just quickly felt the need to find an alternative, and it made me end up here. I’d rather have posts that are not seen much, then being berated for no reason. I sometimes also end up having a pretty good conversation here, and it is nice.
I’m so proud of Charlie Kirk, he really saved up a lot of blood for show-and-tell.
Before the Reddit API change, I made a post to a smaller support subreddit. I made a post about my frustrations about how the majority of men in my personal life treat women in a terrible way. I also made the comparions of the daily aggression against women and how politicians, business and corporate leaders treat people the same way on a much larger scale.
This came after a female friend of mine came out to me about how a now former male friend of mine was creeping on her and making her feel all fucked up. I saw how badly that situation affected her and I was angry, frustrated and confused. I needed to vent.
After 24 hours, 300 upvotes and 150 downvotes, my post was removed for hate speech. All the women who commented were appreciative. All the men who commented were overflowing with hate.
Even though I had been on Reddit since the Digg migration, I had no problem deleting my then 6 year old, 20 something comments account and leaving for Lemmy.
I spent so much time on Reddit lurking that I somehow didn’t fully realize until that day just how deep the toxicity runs on that site. Never looked back and never had the urge to look back since then.
I got shadowbanned for 0 reason. No notification, nothing. And my maaaany appeals also did nothing. That’s why I’m here now.
Good on ya, fuck reddit, we don’t need reddit
lol I got banned for answering fantasy football questions on Sunday mornings lol said I was spamming lol
