    It is not often necessary. There are many things I’ve done on Lemmy that would’ve granted me a permaban had i done them on Reddit. For example, I’ve made a joke about someone killing themselves on both lemmy and Reddit. I was banned from the sub on Reddit, while my comment was only removed here on Lemmy.

    Now i know next time not to make that joke. A permaban wasn’t necessary.

      How was that funny, if I may ask?

        On Reddit, i was making a reference to a Sewerslvt song (Mr. Kill Myself) and spun it towards the person i was replying to. Of course, Reddit did not want to appreciate nuance.

        On Lemmy, I can’t exactly remember what happened, but i replied to the comment with: “Haha, ky*”. You can argue about whether any of those instances were funny or not.

          Thanks for the reply, matey.
          So, assuming I’m getting all that correctly, then you seem like you’re prone to spinning-up some dark fun which suits *you*, but not necessarily the object of the joke, necessarily.

          TBH, I’ve struggled with that myself, many-a-time. Argh…
