I posted this yesterday:
And apparently this warrants a instant permaban.
They don’t even tell you what rule it breaks. Which one do you think it might break?
In any case, every time I visit Reddit and look at my local subs (Montréal, Québec or Canada) I look at the comments and they’re absolutely vile. The community has become so fucking toxic it’s unbearable. And I also realized how my mental health actually improved since I left that community.
They can keep the permaban. I don’t give a shit anymore. I’m so over that god forsaken place.
Peace out.
Quick update:
I contancted the mods and apparently I was permabanned for spamming and they immediately muted me so I wouldn’t be able to message the mods any further. I can understand that it can be considered spamming, but I feel they’re being extremely harsh over this. They really have no chill.
Well, it’s /r/Canada, which is just a right winged mod-controlled shit hole. All the progressives went to /r/onguardforthee a long time ago.
Yeah. Onguardforthee aren’t much better in their own way either.
I left Reddit with the API fiasco and never looked back. Happier without it.
You’re right, Reddit’s a contemptuous shithole.

OGFT is controlled opposition, kind of like those La Rouchite youtubers who call themselves leftist yet constantly punch left.
r/Canada is literally run with conservative propaganda efforts in mind. It’s not surprised that any attempt to pull people out of the echo chamber is met with an instant ban.
It was like a mini The_Donald for awhile. Mods there want to keep control of a potential propaganda channel.

There’s a narrative going around that the subreddit is under attack by white supremacists, but honestly that’s just what Canada is like. If you know how to see their style of polite racism you’d know that they’re 300x more vile than your average American, they just hide it a lot better.
… I mean, they do have nazi moderators, but that’s like 99% of reddit.
Under attack? More like invited and encouraged. That was the problem.
They’re really clinging to P.P. and good promises to help with the housing market. But we all know that won’t happen.
Disappointing. I checked out the subreddit for crocs once and same thing. Weird how that turns out

I used to dread seeing that I had messages on Reddit. My first thought would be “Oh, what did I do now?”. On Lemmy, I’m much more interested in seeing any responses to my comments.
I reported you because I disagree with you
😂
3 or 4 times people reported me as a risk to myself on reddit, and this suicide prevention hotline bot would then send messages with long lists of number to call.
Turning this tool into a weapon against me, simply because I am pro-vaccine was just pathetic and gross.
Yeah I got those as well a few times. A kind of sarcastic way to tell you to off yourself when people disagree with you.
Right??? I get excited when I get replies here.
I get excited when people post to my c/Montreal community! It’s kinda dead unfortunately, tempted to staple posters around the city.
Yeah, the more focused the community, the less active it is. Canada is pretty active. But provincial and municipal communities aren’t as active.
I make a new username every time I see a message in my inbox.
Boo! 👻
I look at the comments and they’re absolutely vile. The community has become so fucking toxic it’s unbearable.
So, maybe it’s best to not invite people from there to Lemmy?
I was hoping to bring awareness in case anybody else was sick and tired and wanted something fresh.

If they want to find it, they can easily find it.
Isn’t r/canada a conservative shithole?
Pretty much.
Replace Lemmy in your text with Facebook, Discord, Telegram or any other forum like group or simply imagine someone posting here to go to Reddit instead, seems a bit spammy doesn’t it?
I likely would’ve removed the thread for being offtopic, but not permanently banned you.
I wouldn’t be surprised that they removed it based on not being a link to certain news sources that they seem to require. Permaban, though? That’s not rules related.
Yeah. That’s definitely a mod that had a little too much zeal.
I suspect there is something going in on reddit in general. The moment you mention Lemmy, you get down voted.
Yeah and I feel like the users there don’t care at all about all the privacy issues and how Reddit aggressively exploits it’s users now. And they’re using AI with bots to basically generate content using old posts or comments and repost.
It’s like any other social network like Twitter and Facebook. I tell people that they need to leave for their own good, but nobody gives a damn.
It’s driving me crazy because I see the problems. I see how it’s affecting people. I can explain it to them and they’ll understand. They still refuse to leave. It’s like telling them they’re drinking poison and asking them to stop but they’re drinking it because everyone is going it anyway.
Damn straight.
R/quebec is just angry péquistes and r/montreal is angryphones and foreign students. R/Canada is toxic af . Yeah, reddit sucks big time now.
This could frankly be considered spam. Would be appropriate to ask the mods before promoting.
Ah good point.
You guyz are pretty chill, let’s keep it that way 😘✌️
I was banned from r/pics for a comment that read
And my ax
…on a thread. When I went to appeal, the admin couldn’t explain how anyone arrived at the decision, or even show the context around the comment, but upheld the decision nonetheless.
You won’t miss Reddit. I don’t.
What a shit show lolol
