Who gives a fuck about Reddit?
Most of Lemmy’s population comes from Reddit “immigrants”, so alot of people probably care about Reddit
I got banned from signal’s subreddit for talking about how telegram works and the case for it.
Talking about “Other Product” in the “Product” sub and getting banned is a tale as old as time. So obvious that the mod community is overrun with corporate accounts and their influencer subcontractors.
Being of certain race or nationality
Posting facts and relevant links about Elon Musk and his Boring Company’s “Not a Flamethrower”.
Obligatory Fuck Spez
They banned the infamous turtle mod. Not because he was a horrible and abusive mod, but because he protested Reddit’s API changes that killed third party apps. It just sends the message that as long as you align with the company, then you can abuse their users all you want.
The wannabe tyrants of subs like OffMyChest who banned people for simply posting in another sub, regardless of context, and the fact that Reddit didn’t shit about it despite it being against their own ToS.
Super lazy form of “moderating” to not just wait for someone to actually be a dick in your sub. Most people receiving the ban never heard of your dopey little sub until they got auto-banned for the crime of participating in an unrelated sub.
