Why are people saying this was Reddit’s april fools? It clearly says it’s made by /r/gamesonreddit, not the admins.

I’m confused about what you’re trying to say here. You got warned for violent commentary after making a violent comment? That sounds like it makes perfect sense to me. This isn’t a Luigi situation, breaking someone’s fingers IS undeniably violence.

unless you want to create a nazi robot supervillian

That’s just Musk.

If you believe this was a mistake, please contact the moderators of the community.

Did you do that?

I don’t really agree with that removal reason if it’s real, but I do think your post was clearly trolling and bad faith arguing and so it’s a good thing it was removed. That said, the rules also don’t currently prohibit that.

have been automatically deleted in the past

I really doubt this is correct. Looking at the domain page for lemmy.world, the earliest post is from a few days before the API protest, and there’s been posts every month since. I don’t see a hole anywhere.
The posts starting just before the protests (when Lemmy is older) could mean they were removed prior to that, but it seems weird to me that Reddit would change their policy on that just when people want to boycott them.
Either way, if they were removed before the protest, that’s a long time ago and not relevant to today.

Why would it get deleted? Does /r/50501 have a history on that like /r/technology does? I don’t really expect the mods of an anti-Trump protest sub to be sucking Spez’s dick. And Reddit doesn’t remove Lemmy mentions itself, it’s all the doing of overzealous mods.

Oh right, I didn’t realize shreddit is an actual thing. It’s what I call sh.reddit.com, yeah.

Reddit didn’t remove it, the moderators did. On Shreddit, there’s a note:

Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/YouShouldKnow.

It’s still available on your profile, I can still see it there. So clearly Reddit didn’t do shit.

Edit: While I’m looking at shreddit, looking at the rules in the sidebar, I think it was removed due to rule 3:

YSKs regarding Reddit, Facebook, Twitter or any other social media are NOT ALLOWED.

You should always look at a community’s rules first before posting, imo this removal is justified.

I personally disabled voting. Can’t get banned for upvoting “violence” if I don’t upvote anything in the first place.

No one gets banned from Reddit for promoting Lemmy, it’s just some subreddits (like /r/technology) which are overzealous. But not the site as a whole.

I can only see one of those two posts (the second one) and it’s pretty well reasoned (I don’t agree though, just saying they did provide their reasoning in more than enough words imo). If you’re interested, here’s the link.

To summarize it:

• UI worse than New Reddit (I personally agree with it being at least just as bad, that’s why I didn’t go to Lemmy)
• Big instances are laggy (remember, the post is from 7 months ago not today, so don’t compare the statement to how they are now)
• Bad mod tools (a common complaint I see about Lemmy)
• Too much far left and tech focus (another common complaint)
• It’s not active enough (yet another common complaint)
• Shitty mods (I disagree with the specific claim made about them being worse than Reddit ones, but I’ve definitely seen at least one shitty mod here so far, and too many are neglectful)
• Lemmy developers are Maoist (fact iirc)
• The community is filled with far left extremists, Mao worshippers, dictator bootlickers, and genocide supporters (the one actually unreasonable take imo which indicates they went to the wrong instance)

This really isn’t true. Specific subreddits do, because their mods want to buddy up to the admins. With OP’s search settings, I do get one of the posts they got (only one though), and most of the results are drowned out by posts about some guy called Lemmy. But sorting by New, there’s plenty of results even from today and the past week. Subreddits announcing their fallback instance, a canadian subreddit discovering lemmy.ca, people asking questions about Lemmy. Lemmy-specific subreddits also show up without a problem. And everything I saw, except for that one post from OP’s image, was positive about it.

I think people who have fully left Reddit are falling for confirmation bias when they hear that a post got removed for mentioning Lemmy. While plenty are still up despite doing the same. It’s either because of the other contents of the post, or because of the subreddit it was posted in. If it was about promoting Lemmy alone, all posts that promote Lemmy would be gone, which isn’t the case.

It comes out as individual lines here on Mbin, so OP does seem to have used line breaks. Weird though that on Lemmy, including OP’s home instance, it doesn’t work.

Does Lemmy maybe have a thing where line breaks work differently in the editor than the final post/comment? Like, Reddit expects you to put two spaces on the previous line for the line break to count, but it will display a line break in the editor by simply pressing enter. So the post as it looks in the editor isn’t necessarily how the final product will look like. Does Lemmy do something similar maybe?

Considering the sub in question is /r/redditalternatives, you posted this in a thread about alternative communities on lemmy, and there’s a reply to your comment which promotes more lemmy (and mbin) instances that isn’t removed… I really really doubt the reason for the ban was you mentioning Lemmy. That would be very inconsistent of the mods, and actually suggest a vendetta against you personally rather than lemmy.

Did you reply to the message asking what rule you broke? Like the ban message instructs you to? Might have also been an accidential ban.

It did not violate any community rules. Reddit doesn’t make any sense.

Sadly, sidebar rules on Old Reddit aren’t real and so can’t be relied upon. There are in fact more than just four rules. There’s nine of them.

That said, even with the expanded list of rules I can’t find any that might apply. Unless their automoderator is so heavily sensitive to non-civility that the very word “cuss” is seen as bad language. Which I very much doubt. It does mention that linking to websites containing malware leads to an immediate permaban, but I doubt that’s the case here?
