Nope. Still fully visible down there.

I'm being self-censored. Working for a very large corp that has a long list of topics I'm not supposed to discuss, and I'm pretty good at not talking about them under my real name. I'm quite certain that my anonymous comments may also be traced back to me, but the HR doesn't care about those.

Not since I stopped posting on .ml communities

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah. I looked down at my wang and there was just a black bar.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe? I keep getting "Rule 1" and "Rule 2" errors when I post something on .ml. I was going to create an issue on GitHub about it, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I called some racists on TikTok "gross" and that was removed. I'm not paraphrasing. That's the whole comment right there. Gross.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep, a few instances have banned me for stupid jokes. Like US NEWS and Politics. Some mods are fucking insane

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Are you sure it is the mods? Think about it, what is the common denominator?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, I was literally banned for a joke

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

One ban is the notorious news sdf troll mod, edit: but otherwise they're needlessly inflammatory yeah I looked farther down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

There we go, yeah, gotta love being banned for nothing

I censor myself quite frequently, although perhaps not frequently enough. It's the only kind I'll accept.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

What [EXPLETIVE DELETED] are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, only limited by stupid people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Guys.. it's pixelated 😨

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

if you self-censor, probably ;)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Absolutely, 100% not.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Not in RL. Only on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I tried to open the original url for this, and wtf is that Anubis plugin doing? It took so long to load that I decided it wasn't worth the time to wait for it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

No need. We have corporate mind control which tricks people into thinking only brown people are terrorists, non nato states are barbarians and socialism doesnt work, etc.

We even have accounts on lemmy who exclusively post nato propaganda and use multiple accounts to cancel dissent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, that's less fun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Only due to self-censorship.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I am being wildly censored and repeatedly banned. I really REALLY REEEEEALLLY despise Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah this site keeps blocking my password when I type it: 1LoveCalzones!

Edit:.... Oops guess not

Yes but only on YouTube and for the most harmless of comments.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Probably downvoted by the same people that would downvote my above comment. 🙄

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

It says banned 😭

There are certain topics I have to self censor about on Lemmy for fear of moderator action.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lemmy is supposed to be anti censorship bro I got pushed to 4chan from getting censored literally anywhere else. All I wanted was to talk about mario and lugia

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

if the comment below this one is, then yes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

in Reddit and youtube, especially if you commenting against parasocial fans or right wingers of that specific channel.

reddit has the most oppressive censorship(which includes bans, and gatekeeping) of any social media site.
