They said it’s “threatening violence”, breaking Rule 1
Hey we are twins. Same thing I was banned for 2 or so years ago.
The left: Maybe we have to do violence?
Liberals: How dare you!
Nazis: We already did some violence, it was awesome. We have every intention of doing more.
Liberals: Well they already did it, so let’s put it behind us.
“Look forward, not backward”
Are you insinuating it’s not the right wing influence on reddit causing this, but rather the “wrong” kind of left wing …? Lemmy is weird.
Both can exist simultaneously and share blame.
Yeah, I suppose. It’s just vastly more an issue with the right.
I think he’s insinuating that libs enable fascism
There is a trend on this platform for people to be just as mad at center-left people as the fuckin actual Nazis. And it’s counterproductive as fuck
Liberals are not center-left, and the reason why that’s important to recognize is because in the struggle between socialism and capitalism, liberals by definition side with capitalism. Historically, liberals have sided with fascists over leftists, because leftists affirm systemic change.
Nazis aren’t going to change, they have to be defeated. You defeat them by changing the liberals.
Fine – spraying hatred on the “liberals” won’t do that though.
Pointing out a double standard is not hatred
I’m referring to a sentiment I see all over lemmy quite often. I don’t think you get to dismiss all those cases are politely pointing it out. Plenty of other users here notice it too, and point out how counter productive it is. I mean even just the term “liberal” is seen as a proxy for evil here. My guess is that plenty of “liberal” people don’t even conform to the views they are presumed to hold, and plenty of “liberals” are very much on board with most of the same leftist ideas as the ones claiming ideological purity over the liberals. The biggest difference is that some of the purists may know more history than some of the people they hate and claim are the problem.
Cause isn’t so simple. One enables the other.
Look at how neo-Nazis abuse liberalist values to demand a protected platform. “Tolerance”, “free speech”, “anti-violence”, you know they don’t believe in these but they’ll always demand it from you.
Reddit is a shithole
Nazis should be dead. Punching is the compromise
Nobody ever said you should stop punching
Punching is just one method to achieve the goal.
Letting Confederate live is how Trump happened
Nazis should be killed. :3
FYI the mods an .ml will likely do the same if you’re on their instance. I annoyingly can’t see the instance you’re on with voyager.
.ml will only really ban you for being too liberal/right-wing. You can go as far left as you want on that instance, including calling for the complete systematic extermination of all capitalists and all of their pets, like the nazis.
OP is on .ml, as it happens.
No, mods on Lemmy.ml will not ban people for saying Nazis should be killed.
Hello, I am a lemmy.ml user.
Nazis should be killed.
Yep. I picked up 2 temp bans, a sub permanent ban, and then a total ban after 16 years once Reddit went public. All of that in two months. I haven’t changed but the world sure did. One of them was me showing the medical gear you should carry to attend the first No Kings rally. I was “inciting violence” and got banned from my cities /r
Better here anyways. I just needed a push.
I got bans for checks notes using an anonymizer and deleting an account, then on a new account being told I broke rules for using an anonymizer on a linked account and getting sitewide banned for it because I was “evading bans.”
Can’t wait to anonymize my new throwaway and then request deletion through the california privacy law enabling it.
They have a ton of tech to track you down. I just gave up the app all together. I don’t even click on the goggle search results for Reddit anymore.
I wish there was a browser addon which would create bogus ai slop comments and just save them as drafts.
Admittedly I wish this was built into RES and just happened randomly across reddit. The ai misinformation war needs to start to punish the companies selling user data imo.

would you care to repost that? i wouldn’t mind taking a look
lol yeah that was also one of my three strikes for getting perma’d from The Old Place
Welcome to the club. I said, “Remember, if you see a Nazi, punch a Nazi.”, as a play on if you see something, say something.
I decided not being able to comment or post is not a big loss, but I do still read over there.
yeah, last few years has been like that. can’t say shit anymore.
Reddit moment
Reddit’s AI banbots are basically killing the platform leaving nothing but scrapbooking and macrame subs.
I don’t believe you.
For real?
🤷🏻♀️
I certainly believe them. I have been banned on reddit for some of the mildest shit. If you call out lying scumbag right wingers you will be banned on any corporate social media. If you lie and spread right wing hatred, you will be left alone as long as you stop short of breaking specific rules.
I rarely see right wing nonsense outside of twitter and substack. Everywhere else it’s just “leftists” (actually FEDS trying to set the tune in a violent key for people left-of-center) inciting violence on “nazis”.
Doesn’t sound like you’ve used Facebook in the past ten years or reddit in the past couple. I quit Facebook five years ago and it was a cesspool by then. Reddit is fucking awful now too, I recently saw after the Charlie Kirk killing. I won’t be going back.
Wut?
I got banned from [email protected] for calling out nazi sympathizers. Granted I did call them cunts, so YMMV.
At this point anyone who isnt banned by at least a few .world spaces is a nazi sympathizer.
The person you responded to is a liar though. No one was sympathizing with Nazis in any way and they came in telling people to kill themselves. They were banned completely justifiably.
You would definitely say that. You haven’t ever suffered from the failure that is humanizing fascists. Humanzing them is sympathizing with them. They choose to not be human. Heck theyre proud to not be human.
It’s more insulting to them to call them human, as that implies youre on the same thing as them, something they objectively do not believe.
This is so stupid I don’t even know where to begin. Dehumanization is what leads to disgusting cruelty like Nazis engage in.
You do realize it’s possible to support the execution of Nazis and still think they are humans? Such a bizarre world in which that would ever need to be said out loud.
No, I personally do not think we should execute humans under any circumstance. However fascists are not human.
They, again, choose not to be. And as the paradox of intolerance states, we cant really accept them in human communities.
Dehumanization is something they voluntarily did to themselves. You cant even say they were tricked or duped into it. We’re in the information age. Practically all adults in the us have made it past 8th grade. They chose to believe they weren’t human like us. I’m simply honoring their wishes and beliefs.
This is just a semantic trick you think you can use to stay holier than thou and also kill people who deserve it. Doesn’t work that way. Humans can only become not human by dying and becoming dust again. Semantic tricks don’t change that. I sense this conversation will go even more poorly from here so I’m blocking you for my mental health.
And right wingers wonder why we dont engage and just tell them to hurry the natural process of decay.
Continuing the lie that calling out dehumanization being wrong is “sympathizing with Nazis”.
I specifically said Nazis are pieces of shit but still human and you told me I’m scum and to kill myself.
What an innocent fucking victim.
If you see a nazi sitting down and having breakfast with 11 people, you’re seeing 12 nazis.
Ah yes, the tranazitive property.
