    That’s more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.

    This is in fact my very first post here. :)

    There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I’ve never seen on Reddit I thought it was the last bastion of free speech

    While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked

    It is unfortunate

    Steve Bannon isnt welcome in Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldn’t host nazis. I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period. Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles They deserve to be boycotted And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time

    Edit: UPDATE 2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!! NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT

    Told you so r/Coloradosprings

    Fuck yall

    I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.

    After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.

    I’ve been seeing the steady increase in posts and complaints about Reddit banning folks for political speech for the last couple of months and I finally have had enough so here I am. Been on there for 14 years… Byeeeee.

      Any time I hear someone say they are “free speech” I am going to pause because what it means is: “My speech > your speech”

      True free speech means you know when you’re wrong and when you need to change, or as I like to call it: EMPATHY

    I love Reddit so much, but the censorship is bullshit! I quit the entire META platform months ago, lost a lot of contacts but fuck Zuckerberg!

    My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn’t let me see what I even commented. They said it was “encouraging violence” but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.
