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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Post here the photos of your concert!
Obligatory fuck /u/spez
Glad to know i am not the only whom was arbitrarily perm banned from that shithole.
It's sooooo incredible that the decades old platform can have a "bug" that falsely shows an account as banned. Amazing!
i was banned and i seriously dont know what i did. having your account banned for sharing concert photos shows its ridiculous. but i am not paul mccartney so i dont get it back
He deserves it, when you're almost 85, and you still think that people actually want to hear you sing, that's a narcissistic personality disorder and we all know which special person has that, and he's a massive cunt, so there's a pretty good chance, McCartney is too.
I know someone on Paul's road crew and Paul actually sounds like a really wonderful person when you get to know him.
Hey Paul! Come on over to Lemmy, we love you here. We won't kick you out for using the platform exactly the way you're supposed to.
Fuck reddit
The situation drew attention online after users pointed out the irony of the artist being blocked from sharing content from his own show.
That's the thing, it isn't "his." Nothing a worker creates under capitalism belongs to them. His music is a product, and that product belongs to the corporation that owns the rights. The customer doesn't own it, either. They're just paying for the right to attend a concert for one night. Want to see pictures of the show? That's an additional fee.
This seems to be capitalism's final form: you will own nothing and be happy. You won't own your own car, you'll pay a monthly fee for autonomous driving "ride share" services. You won't own your own home, you'll pay a landlord for the privilege of living in their property. You certainly won't own your own music, movies, video games, books or TV shows. Hell, maybe soon you won't even own your own dishes or clothes or home furnishings. Water and food probably aren't too far off, either. Soon they'll own all the farm land and all the water infrastructure.
That's the thing, it isn't "his." Nothing a worker creates under capitalism belongs to them. His music is a product, and that product belongs to the corporation that owns the rights.
Putting your anti-capitalist rant aside for a moment, Paul McCartney does own the rights to his own music. He is in an entirely different negotiating position from some hopeful new artist being offered a record deal.
Paul McCartney does own the rights to his own music
That does put him in a unique and exceptional position, and good for him for that, but clearly he does not have the rights to post images from this particular concert. Or, at least there's some dispute or confusion about what rights he does or does not have, as it pertains to such media.
Regardless, the general premise remains valid. Exceptions do not invalidate the rule. There is complexity and nuance, absolutely, but, generally, the things that employees create, whether art or something else, are products that do not belong to them. Of course this does not apply to the self employed, obviously, but it does apply to anyone who sells their labor to a firm that they themselves do not own.
While I agree with you (and also hate reddit now) we don't know if the rights ownership was the reason for removal, or some moderator being edgy, or dropbox link triggering spam filters.
some moderator being edgy,
Mods cannot ban accounts from reddit, only from subreddits. The action taken against the account wqas from the admins.
Oops, I missed that whole account banned from reddit part. Thanks.
Ah, that definitely explains. :). Cheers!
soon you won't even own your own [...] home furnishings
This has been a thing for poor folks for a long time now. once they successfully wipe out the pesky middle class it will be a reality for everyone.
Regarding clothes, the low quality fast fashion makes clothes essentially disposable, so consumers don't really own clothes anymore also.
Dropbox link
I think Reddit is using AI modbots that really don't like external links that have superficial similarities to links used by scammers, I was also banned for something kind of similar.
I was banned for inciting violence. The topic of discussion was a video game.
I was banned for inciting violence by saying I was surprised that Kanye had not murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet
I was banned for inciting violence by legitimately suggesting someone who appeared to be in distress seek counselling. Fortunately the person reviewing it got back to me 1/25th of a second later and upheld the ban, so I found Lemmy. Which is much much better.
Serves him right. How dare he try to do basic social media things on a social media platform. 🤦🏼
This is basically elder abuse
lol spez
Sir Paul, come join feddit uk then! We Lemmings would love to have you.
Bruh
ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?!?!
