Got a three day suspension for agreeing with someone else who thought murdering one's own parents is worse (more sinister) than plotting to assassinate Trump. I said it was the lesser of two evils.

Got suspended for agreeing that plotting to assassinate the president is "the lesser of two evils" compared with murdering one's own parents.

I got a 3 day ban because I said it would be cool if a white dude beat the shit out of this white lady who kept screaming racist remarks at a Spanish guy.
- Yeah that's... That's a pretty clear cut example of violating Rule #1.
  
  Ok
  
  Like, I get the thinking behind it. In casual conversation it would come of as a fairly rhetorical way of expressing how bad racism is. But in text form, it can (and will to some) come across as actually encouraging violence. You always have to plan for the stupidest people in the group.
  
  Nah, I get it. I meant it exactly how it sounded. I would find it very amusing if a white dude beat the hell out of her. I don't condone violence for most things, but sometimes you just wanna see a dumb sonuvabitch get the shit kicked out of em. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  Plus I've just been in a really dark place for about the past 15 years, so who cares. None of this shit matters in the long run. I really doubt I'll be lying on my deathbed saying, "Man I wish I hadn't wished violence upon that hateful bigot. Now I'll never get to see my meme on the front page of reddit."
  Also, sorry for the dismissive "ok" earlier. Sometimes I don't care even more than usual. That was one of em.
  While I'm here: fuck spez, fuck the police, fuck Citizens United. Fuck this world and the whores it rolled in on. Bone apple tea, and Happy Easter :-)
  
  Happy Easter my friend.
- Temp bans now may results in permabans from the site now i noticed quite a few people posted that they were banned sitewide as soon as their bans lifted. Especially around the site wide purges that began since January
  
  Can confirm. My 2nd ever ban went from 7-day temp to perma in a few hours. 9 year old account, 2 infractions. Fucking pathetic.
  
  I'm starting to duplicate communities here on Lemmy. If they permaban my account, I will start handing out invitations on day one.
  
  Please clone all the most popular subs on Lemmy! Let's make Lemmy bigger than Reddit!
  
  I get that thought, and I don't think that is exactly what I'm doing. Instead I am making an off ramp for some of those communities. I plan on inviting the mods from the r/railroading to mod Railroading@Lemm.ee because they haven't fallen victim of the same automod hell.
  I think I want to take a few of my favorite ideas and curate them here. Like, I know of one sub that never took off. I think the only mod got banned or went dark almost as soon as it started. I would like to create that here and start filing it.
  Also, I think that is a chance to create specific reasons to entice users over to Lemmy. People frustrated with the unfair moderation of their favorite subs looking for a better way to continue participating in those types of communities. Not a clone, a revival.
  
  Will you be creating any specific porn focused subs too?
  
  No.
  
  my last flagged account was shadowbanned when a mod removed my comment, Im guessing shadown ban includes any "comment removal" for whatever reason now(low karma, low CQS,age,,,,etc).
  also the comment removal dumb asf to, it was on ptgcl, where the poster was trying to "joke" but mods and other people took it seriously.
  
  That would kinda suck, but 🤷🏻‍♂️ fuck it.
  
  It seems that Admins do reviews of temp bans if you violate the most watched stuff you will be perm banned. The top reasons to get banned are violence, anything trans related that contradicts the reddit view of trans stuff, or incivility. Like name calling. Example would be you make a comment to OP or another user - "well you're a fucking asshole".
  
  the rules are so nebulous, you dont know what you can get banned for now. im sure it hast have to do with MUSK Complaining, and the IPO of reddit, hint hint. seems like they are culling accounts to discourage "read only" not log in and comment in subs.
- Come on, what's not to understand about no violence. It doesn't matter what the situation is. Could be factual or hypothetical you can't endorse, call for, or even comment on any act of violence. The lucky ones get a temp ban. Most are simply permanently banned site wide
  
  Her parents obviously either hit her too much or not enough, and we can't undo stuff from the past, so the only answer is more violence. Just in case.
