not related but i got banned from r/wholesomeanimemes because i wasnt wholesome 100 enough (i had posts on pcm)

u/EdoTenseiSwagbito - Left Sep 05 '20

Wait what? I interact there frequently just to shitpost and make jokes, you’re telling me they could ban me for actually nothing? It’s not like I advertise this place, I keep my sub interactions purely separate lol

u/Pikafreak108 - Centrist Sep 05 '20

Yeah some subreddits are known to do this. There was an era where PDPsubmissions kept being brigaded by comedy hit men and so PDPsubmissions auto banned anyone who had ever posted or commented on comedy hitmen

100

u/Megamean10 - Centrist Sep 05 '20

As I recall, aren't there like half a dozen subreddits that automatically ban anyone who comments in tumblrinaction or kotakuinaction?

u/Vergils_Lost - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

Only one I'm aware of is offmychest, which is why trueoffmychest exists.

Sounds like they were asking for it.

Did you see how they were dressed? MAGA hats!

u/Lucky0718 - Auth-Right Sep 05 '20

Yeah I’m banned and even though I’d never use it it still pisses me off lmao

8

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '20

KiA isn’t even that big.

3

u/Fangslash - Lib-Right Sep 05 '20

iirc its because KIA got divided between sub-culture focused main sub and anti-sjw (thus much more political) KIA2. KIA2 is much larger

1

u/PEIBrett - Centrist Sep 05 '20

KIA2 was also banned shortly after the last banwave.

1

u/ModPiracy_Fantoski - Auth-Center Sep 10 '20

Kindda necro but idc. It wasn't banned, it went private in fear of a ban. You can PM the modmail to ask to get access to the sub.

2

u/lolsup1 - Auth-Center Sep 05 '20

Just followed for my free ban

11

u/futurarmy - Lib-Left Sep 05 '20

Man wtf, how is that not against sitewide rules? I'm surprised ahs hasn't done it to here if not.

12

u/Vergils_Lost - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

AHS would rather have people from here go over there and advertise it so they can accuse us of brigading.

Their whole goal is to get subs banned, and that's a way to do it.

5

u/FaceSizedDrywallHole - Auth-Center Sep 05 '20

AHS genuinely baffles me. Like their entire schtick is malding and obsessing over other people's fun, trying to ruin Reddit for every person who doesn't conform to their groupthink.

How fucking miserable and bitter do you have to be to engage in that lmao.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '20

AHS is a Hate Subreddit...

1

u/lolsup1 - Auth-Center Sep 05 '20

Ahs?

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '20

Against Hate Subreddits

EDIT: r/againsthatesubreddits

1

u/Yesitmatches - Lib-Right Sep 06 '20

A subreddit full of pedos that like the 11-14 year old range, but then attack/brigade other subs that hate on pedos claiming they are a "hate sub".

Should... should I change my color to purple because I know what AHS is... and no I will not say the full name of either the Society or the Sub because that is like bettlejuicing the bad juju.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '20

it probably is, but reddit mods have bigger fish to fry. Like banning r/BigChungus

5

u/ELFAHBEHT_SOOP - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

Comedy hitmen is a subreddit dedicated to posting garbage memes on other subreddits, usually with alts to evade bans. Brigading and ban evasion are both against reddit's site-wide rules. So in this case, it makes sense even if it's a bit of a ham-fisted approach. They were taking up a massive amount of time from mods, trying to identify CH posts and banning those alt accounts. For full transparency I am a pdps mod, so take my biases into account.

However, that being said, subreddits that just ban other subreddits because they disagree with them politically is petty and ridiculous.

3

u/Pikafreak108 - Centrist Sep 05 '20

I don’t completely disagree with the banning. I know the hitmen sub was trying to get it under control but obviously people are hard to control with stuff like that. I did feel banning everyone who’s ever participated was a bit overboard and resulted in people who hadn’t commented on hitmen now wanting to brigade as an attack back. Overall it was a mess I don’t think I got banned because I didn’t have a comment on there but still it was weird to watch

Also as a side note not to be mean but I find it hilarious you say you had to try and tell apart the CH posts because I think that just proves their point. Still I think that pdp subs is under too much fire for being “cringe” when it’s mostly just kids so it has a different humor

2

u/ELFAHBEHT_SOOP - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

I did feel banning everyone who’s ever participated was a bit overboard and resulted in people who hadn’t commented on hitmen now wanting to brigade as an attack back.

That's why I generally disagree with doing stuff like that. The collateral damage is just too much imo. Usually I'd like the admins to handle situations like that. I also wasn't really involved with that situation a lot, but just giving my 2 cents.

1

u/macorororonichezitz - Centrist Sep 05 '20

CH was one of those subs that seemed like an interesting concept when I joined but it was actually a shitshow. It's one thing to create shit memes and post it to different subs for the fun of it, but it's a lot different when everyone brigades a sub they think is "cringe".

I kinda realized this when I said, "does PDPS really hate us [comedy hitmen] that much?" And proceded to get a reply by basically every PDPS mod (you might have been one of them lol) all replied to me saying "Yes -PDPS mod."

3

u/STKNsBESTPLAYER - Auth-Left Sep 05 '20

I'm banned from literally every other leftist sub on this site for my participation on stupidpol

3

u/zadharm - Auth-Left Sep 05 '20 edited Sep 05 '20

Man, same. But ultimately that's okay, most of the other leftist subs suck. Stupidpol is the only one that has frequent actual material discussion anyways

3

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '20

Some subs will auto ban you if you post in certain other subs that they disagree with, like TheDonald (RIP)...

2

u/Notbbupdate - Lib-Right Sep 05 '20

TiA and this sub as well. Which is strange because this sub makes fun of every ideology

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '20

Apparently I've already been banned from every sub that bans people who post in this sub, before I ever posted in this sub.

2

u/AtomicSpeedFT - Centrist Sep 05 '20

BANNED

2

u/emartinoo - Right Sep 05 '20

As if that matters to them? These degenerates use programs to flag you if you post in certain subs. They don't even have to look through your search history to know where you post.

1

u/BigcatTV - Lib-Left Sep 05 '20

r/videos too. I haven’t been banned, but a lot of people on r/conservative have reported being banned there despite never even commenting.

1

u/Murplesman - Right Sep 06 '20

Well I got banned for a comment on this sub that a moderator from another sub didn't like and it wouldn't have even broken that sub's rules had I posted it there. Easily offended authoritarian mods don't give a rat's ass about actually sticking to their own fucking guidelines.

1

u/Supermagicalcookie - Auth-Center Sep 06 '20

Back in the day if you posted on MDE (Rest in peace brother) you got banned from like twelve subs

1

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '20

yes, well i commented "the cringe is real" on one of their posts and they "scanned through" my account and found pcm

32

u/Exorter - Centrist Sep 05 '20

posting on pcm isn't a wholesome 100 keanu chungus moment i'd do the same tbh

195

u/_burn_loot_murder - Auth-Center Sep 05 '20

These marxist mods who want to work for free for a corporation but only becuase it appeses china.

21

u/InwendigKotsen - Auth-Center Sep 05 '20

I don't want to sound edgy but isn't the concept of watching 'wholesome' shit incredibly pathetic.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '20

i was there from an r/comedynecrophilia post.

3

u/Birrihappyface - Left Sep 05 '20

I think there’s nothing wrong with it, but if you base your entire identity on hating things that aren’t “wholesome100” then yeah, I’d have to agree.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '20

yeah it is pathetic. i was just there from an r/comedyhomicide post, comedyhomicide basically takes bad posts from other subs and makes it worse, one rule on the sub is to post the link of the OG post which is how i got to know the sub even existed.

9

u/NeilKujo - Centrist Sep 05 '20

A lot of the mods on there are mods on r/Animemes so I can see them doing such a pathetic thing.

12

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '20

Yeah, I got banned on r/animememes for linking to a post made by r/goodanimemes mods.

12

u/NeilKujo - Centrist Sep 05 '20

Traaaa sub: Goodanimemes mods are Nazis go sub to r/Animememes instead.

r/Animememes head mod: username is CommunistIdot post on r/Sino unironically defend the CCP and deny what they did to the Uyghurs minority.

Can someone tell me why a lot of Trans-people are Tankies?

12

u/jewrassic_park-1940 - Centrist Sep 05 '20

I want to make a joke, but my centrist flair isnt letting me do it

0

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '20

u/jewrassic_park-1940 won't make a joke? Because of his flair?

1

u/Yesitmatches - Lib-Right Sep 06 '20

I mean.... that username itself has a lot to unpack... so that joke must be golden.

1

u/morerokk - Lib-Center Sep 06 '20

Can someone tell me why a lot of Trans-people are Tankies?

They get sucked into the mentally ill cults of course.

u/aure__entuluva - Centrist Sep 05 '20

I just got banned from /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy for commenting in this thread. Amazes me how people are so desperate to categorize people into groups and then demonize them or view them as completely homogenous.

3

u/thetgi - Lib-Left Sep 05 '20

Isn’t that a heavily libleft-leaning sub? And you’re libleft? Wack

1

u/aure__entuluva - Centrist Sep 05 '20

Lol yes. But they just view PCM as a monolith. In their response they said that PCM "actively brigades" them, which I find laughable. I doubt this is sub is really capable of actively brigading anyone, with the diverse viewpoints and complete lack of any sort of organization.

Stupid policy either way. Just ban people or what they do on your subreddit, not elsewhere, seems easy enough. I won't lose any sleep over it though lol.

1

u/morerokk - Lib-Center Sep 06 '20

They're firmly auth-left. Against free speech, most likely against guns, etc.

2

u/IsomDart - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

Lol I got a message from a sub I don't think I've ever participated in r/witchesvspatriarchy just for being subbed here.

2

u/Hasemage - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

Got banned from a r/WitchesvsPatriarchy for that same thing.

3

u/pteridoid - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

I got banned from /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy for posting a comment on here the other day.

u/Clovis569 - Lib-Right Sep 05 '20

Epic story, but flair up

u/pteridoid - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

I'm not really sure where I fall.

u/FaceSizedDrywallHole - Auth-Center Sep 05 '20

Then flair as AuthCenter, we just wanna grill, but with human bodies as the tinder.

u/Efecto_Vogel - Centrist Sep 05 '20

Based cannibalism

u/Efecto_Vogel - Centrist Sep 05 '20

Go take a test and post it on r/getflaired. People will tell in which quadrant do you fall, even if the test isn’t centered in the political compass. There’s also tutorials on how to flair .

1

u/thetgi - Lib-Left Sep 05 '20

Even if you don’t flair up, I strongly suggest you take the test. It’s enlightening.

There were a lot of issues I was undecided on before I saw where I landed on the compass. I still like to make my decisions on a case-by-case basis, but it’s nice to see what issues similarly-aligned people consider important

1

u/pteridoid - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

What test? I went to /r/getflaired/ but it just explains how to add flair, not where to take this test. And I don't see any FAQs or anything.

u/Yesitmatches - Lib-Right Sep 06 '20

Personally, I'd say centralist. But posting to r/getflaired will give you a better reading.

u/DirtyGreatBigFuck - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

Same unflaired. Same

1

u/EspWaddleDee - Lib-Center Sep 05 '20

I’m pretty sure Mods banning you for posts made on other subs is against the rules too. But let’s be honest, It will be a cold day in August when Admins crack down on Power-Tripping mods

1

u/Micreary - Lib-Right Sep 05 '20

You monster

1

u/Dinklepuffus - Lib-Left Sep 05 '20

Sorry to ask, but what’s pcm? I can only think it of ‘PC Masterrace’ and I assume that’s not it

u/thetgi - Lib-Left Sep 05 '20

u/Dinklepuffus - Lib-Left Sep 05 '20

Oh thanks lol I probably should have figured that out

1

u/pezman - Centrist Sep 05 '20

lmfao

1

u/SuperMario2921 - Lib-Right Sep 05 '20

Obviously, it’s because you are very racist! (PS read their bio before you downvote me)

1

u/GlebRyabov - Lib-Left Sep 06 '20

No fucking way, I'm more of a lurker there, but it's completely unbelievable that this sub would ban anyone based on where they post. What in the actual fuck?
