On behalf of the metal community, everyone is welcome. Fuck transphobia. Pick all your brothers, sisters, and non-binary family off the ground and lift them up.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
I got a 6 day ban from reddit for telling a mod in r/funny that it's not right to judge a person for posting a meme in a different sub. Which is what convinced me to make an account on Lemmy
I'm not saying it warranted a ban, but if someone is posting transphobic memes in another sub, they should be judged for that.
Yeah but that's different. That's hate
I got a 6 day ban for say Nazis should be punched. I'm sorry, but it was also in the context of when they ran over that girl with the car at the rally.
Doesn’t matter the context, imo, nazis always deserve to be punched.
That subreddit sucks. They banned Sabaton for being “Nazis”. I don’t think they’ve ever listened to Sabaton.
Sabaton do have a lot of Nazi fans, but we shouldn't yield ground to them
That subreddit sucks.
Replying just to echo this sentiment.

the problem is that you were visiting a space that begins with /r/.
...And you're on an instance called "aussie zone". Isn't cunt practically a term of endearment down there?
It can go either way. I mostly use it on inanimate objects that have injured me.
So, essentially, "cunt" can refer to anything, good or bad, in Australia.

I was banned from r/politics for "hate speech" for comparing Krysten Sinema to Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter. The totally arbitrary enforcement of the rules by authoritarian mods is a large part of the reason I made the migration to Lemmy after more than 14 years on Reddit. I was a refuge from the Digg migration, and am now a refuge from Reddit bullshit and proud of it!
A lot of mods thought they had a power downvote - the way reddit works where it hides your removed comment from everyone but you with zero notification (like a per-comment shadowban) is pretty annoying. I'd post in some subs and check with one of the comment deletion tools, and sure enough, that would explain why I'd get no replies or votes. Sure is annoying to take the time to express yourself and talk top people, and some twat of a mod arbitrarily or mendaciously decides your comment is not allowed and removes it.
Well, no wonder! That's an insult to Delores Umbridge!

I got a ban once for calling someone a good cunt in a supposedly Australian run sub because someone else got offended by it for some reason.
It is an actual term of endearment in Australia.
Strange, I'm perfectly able to enjoy metal without resorting to misogynistic slurs, but maybe I'm the odd one out here.
That stigma is really only a US thing. British people say it left and right all the time

But, I don't understand. That's the scientific definition, how can they be angry about that?
It's somehow normal to call anyone a -phobe or an -ist for pretty much any reason, or just by an unrelated assumption. You can't be surprised if some people don't appreciate it.
Don’t want to be called an -ist or a -phobe, maybe don’t act like one? I don’t get called either, but I don’t act like either.
You see how that works?

Please ban me too, I agree that they're cunts.
1- why are you still on Reddit? 2- I kind of agree with them. You can be metal without being an ass.
You aren't an ass because you aren't tolerant towards intolerant people.
