BigBlackCockroach@lemmy.world 11 months agoIf you got banned a lot of Reddit, the problem might be you.
Or the problem might be reddit i.e. a problem reddit has with free speech:
- reddit is like many other social media subject to campaigns of propaganda by companies, groups, state-actors.
- bots are common place and are influencing discourse
Social effects like mob mentality take place, so if you are an individualist and say it how it is you are going to be surpressed just for voicing a legitimate opinion.
You clearly cannot question the prevalence of bots and large scale manipulation by bad faith actors (say for example a company that systematically downvotes or through their mods bans all unfavorable comments about flaws in their new product).

I think its mistake to simply play these folks off as people who want to say racial slurs or something.

I’m not.
But I am starting to get the feeling that they, let’s put this gently, do not play well with others. And that subsequently they externalize that experience.
Since this is a recipe for recidivism (you don’t learn anything if you always think the others are at fault) eventually you get banned and it ends up being a self fulfilling prophecy.
I refuse to let Lemmy become the place where people banned from other services go stink up the place.
