    Some promotional posts were made on Reddit in the right comms, although none of them specifically exploded - albeit one was made also in r/buyCanadian and it seemed to surge.

    cant be reddit bans, they have largely laid off the massive bans. although i have heard they upped thier methods of detecting would be ban evasion methods.

      its also too easy to get banned. new accounts and old inactive accounts becoming suddenly active are highly likely to get banned.

        It was 3 day site wide bans as I understood it. Reason given was that saying that Greenland should defend itself was "threatening violence".

        The thread in question, thing it is in r/Sweden https://www.reddit.com/r/sweden/s/BvEiqSM2cf

        then the 3 day sitewide bans end often leads to a shadow ban or sitewide ban, for unkown reasons for your part. as soon as they sniff other accounts you mave or deleted you are toast.

          I'm probably applying too much logic here which Reddit admins don't seem to like, but... how can defending oneself if something happens (not even preemptively, but after the fact) be threatening violence, while Trump repeatedly saying they're gonna own Greenland one way or another is not threatening violence?

          theres also other easy ways apparently to get banned too, "reporting people if the mods dont agree you can get permantly banned yourself". or your comments are too spammy or to similar to bots.

            Deal breaker for me. Although Lemmy is not all that tolerant of dissenting views either I hear.

            just like on reddit if you are trolling, issuing propaganda, and ignoring community rules you will get banned surely anywhere else, obviously if your being offensive too.

              Right now i don't see any movement in the amount of donations (patreon, liberapay). so i am not kinda skeptical this will end up being meaningful growth.

              I wouldn't expect new users to donate within their first few days on the site

                That was the big one, but there was something else smaller last year.

                  Me shocked to learn that PieFed (the software I am currently using) will delete My comment if it starts with a gif (like this one does)

                  The code doesn't actually parse the markdown in the post at all, so it only censors your comment if it's a link to common gif hosters, and posted in a way that doesn't actually render the gif.

                  It's laughable because it's both attempting to be draconian and implemented poorly

                    In my experience reddit administration moderates dishonestly, violating posts not against the rules because of subjects like Israel,. Moderators there are more than you can shake a stick at they run the gamut.

                    But the administration is quite dishonest, and will become more and more so.

                      don't forget, being sexually harassed by a mod and then warning people about the mod will get you banned too

                        I’m saying they shouldn’t be surprised when no one wants to discuss things with someone who specifically said they don’t want anything to do with them.

                        Right, and the feeling is mutual. I don't think it really matters how Piefed looked, or what it does - many of those users outright oppose any competing platform on the Fediverse because they believe you should help the Lemmy devs instead of making your own. So what's the end-game here?

                        Which also goes back to the language rimu uses when questioned.

                        He's clearly referring to the people who express what he views as bad faith commentary and attacks on his character from those instances and communities.

                        Again are you pr for piefed cause you are way to invested in defending it, doing best to distract from the actual points and issues brought up and seemly instantly responding.

                        You keep replying to me. I reply back. I pretty much reply to everyone if I have something else to say so long as you keep replying to me.

                        Yes, that's exactly it but aimed at anyone who isn't talking to them even if rimu already said screw off to them.

                        My last point as there's no convincing what appears to be piefeds pr person. Do you think users like this who started another flame war are a good look for piefed?
