I'd give you a genuine answer, but I'm afraid these mods will ban me like they banned me from Reddit for having a negative opinion about Samsung.

I'm so glad we gave these mods power of the Android community on Lemmy. Way to go, us!

The cool thing about this platform is that we can just leave. There's another android community at [email protected]

It was shut down by the mods running the android community here.

[email protected] is reopening on 7/24 though

Honestly, I’m okay with them banning people for being negative, there are SO many places you can go to do that if you want to, especially with all the servers here on Lemmy.

You think it's okay to ban someone for being critical about a specific Samsung device because a mod is a fanboy of it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can be critical without being negative.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I've looked into it and can confirm /u/JshKlsn was temporarily banned for rude comments directed at others on /r/android. For the record, the mod who actioned it does not use Samsung devices.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would be great if you could not talk behind my back with other users, but also your investigation means nothing, because who said that username was mine on Reddit, or that I am talking about that account?

I'm not, for the record.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nothing private intended in this public thread. I did reply to you directly above but hadn't heard back.

Happy to look into the account you're referring to, but I don't think JshKlsn is too common of a handle?

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

Hey there, if you would like to pass me your username on Reddit I'd be happy to take a look for you. We have folks who very much dislike Samsung so that shouldn't have been an issue - and if it was, it was an oversight.

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

My user name on reddit is ST3RB3N666, can you tell me why you permently banned me? I tried to reach you, but you completely ignore me.

I don't care about your ban, but at least tell me why did you ban me?

EDIT: as expected, no response.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Strange. I only received a notification for this reply when you edited it just now. Not sure if it's due to the recent lemmy.world outage. I'm on my way to the office at the moment but will definitely take a look this afternoon.

Edit: I've taken a look. It appears you were banned for spam.

  • You commented "Thank, I will definitely think about it in the future" as the first response to a spam bot post advertising third-party MagSafe accessories. This was your first comment on /r/Android.
  • Your follow-up message to modmail followed the same format as typical spam accounts and was archived.
  • 13 days ago, you randomly sent a mod mail, "fuck you", which triggered automatic Reddit filtering.
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Oh I'd love to see exactly how you got banned. Chances are it was for a tad more than just "having a negative opinion about Samsung".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same, got banned for "spam", even though I am pretty sure I never broke any rules.

I asked for more reasons then, but they straight up ignore and mute me for 28 days.

I will never subscribe to anything related to the old reddit mods.

I am glad I am not the only one thinking this way.
