I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.
To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.
I’ve had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they’re not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.
Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.
Lmao, so decades of child’s shooting up schools, 2a is a-ok!
Resistance to ICE gestappo, 2a banned?
Well it’s on brand for this country at least.
It’s Reddit. It’s a cesspool run by trash humans.
So yes, you can talk about guns and the 2nd amendment all you want when children are being murdered in school, but if fascists control the government, you gotta stop that, because you’re now an “agitator”.
Edit: Actually, to be fair, most Reddit users are good enough people to grasp that fascism has come to America and fascism is bad. So calling the site in general a cesspool isn’t necessarily accurate. The shitstains are mostly bots and a small percentage of trash humans. The real issue are the trash humans running the site and dictating the rules that have driven us all to Lemmy.
Yeah, corporate advertisers.
Can’t speak of violence guns or anything else, lest it upset the VERY kinds of people looking for that “Disney” sensibility the Mayor of Minneapolis refered to last night, after he got asked about dropping the F-bomb in response to the shooting yesterday.
It’s squeeky-clean and “sanitized” for your protection, now that it had it’s IPO and went mainstream.
Come on, what do we all expect? Everyone here is old enough to know how this all rolls.
It’s all got to be puppies and daffodils and fairy tales that keep the shoppers feeling safe and spending.
Capitalism 101: Keep the consumers warm and fuzzy.
Well, I got bad news for you on that front, too.
I know. I’m not saying Lemmy is perfect. But the only censorship I’ve experienced was on .ml (surprise surprise) and I haven’t been banned, not even from an individual sub/instance.
It’s got problems but it isn’t Reddit levels of trash.
Lemmy allows me to support our Constitutional rights. That alone makes it better than Reddit.
The issue here is that there isn’t really a way to ban anyone. No matter how many times they vote or how many AI chat bots they use to keep their accounts active.
