The mods at r/popculture pointed it out. And then the screenshot above.
The subreddit drama
Good. I hope Reddit tears itself apart. After having three accounts banned because I was better at insults than the one trying to haze me I think that site had run its course.
It won’t, it will just complete the transition to a right wing propaganda platform, because right wing chuds are very profitable.
Except I was banned for being right of center.
funny thing theres is no left in us, just center rights like us, even i have some that leaning. but the only left is subs with countries with an actual “left party”
They banned my old reddit account because I reported fake news that was being posted on r/conservative. Apparently subreddit mods can report users who use the report tool and can just get you banned.
They recently, meaning I don’t exactly know when it happened, gave mods the ability to report you for “Abuse of the report tool”. For the record, I’m a mod on some subreddits, and that’s an absurd thing to need. I’ve learned a few things about being a Reddit mod.
- It’s not nearly as hard as some mods make you think it is.
- If they actually experience difficulty, it’s probably cause they suck at being a mod.
- Subs that experience issues, are typically cess pools like r/conservative.
yea ive been reported for “report abuse” when the comments were legitimately trolls or obviously posting misinformation, crossbanning is also just as ridiculous. from what ive gathered, some mods are lazy into responding to every post being reported so they decided just to get rid of the reporter instead having to deal with.
And then they say “if a user is breaking the rules, don’t engage, use the report button.”
That’s dystopian.
Which is stupid. A mod can just ban you forever and call it a day. Where the Admins have fucked up is if you harass a mod via modmail, they can only mute you for I think 28 days max, before you can start harassing them again. So, instead of letting a mod simply mute you forever, they created the report bullshit.
I got a warning for a similar thing. They can disagree with the report, but warning/banning users for it is insane
i got hit with report abuse a couple times. there were legitimate comments that should be reported but not getting removed.
I got permanently banned for pointing out that a popular sex advice subreddit was being run by a rapist…
I got banned because I posted a comment on an anti vaxx sub (I was challenging one of their comments) and found out a lot of subs had ban bots that just watched who posted to subs they didn’t like. Whatever you do don’t put any thought into your mod work or look at the comment’s context.
Public moderation logs need to become the norm.
So much shady shit going on on reddit.
The modlog is a breath of fresh air for lemmy. Praise whoever came up with and supported it.

🤖?
Mods on Lemmy are a bunch of Napoleonic cunts as well. I’m constantly having posts censored and deleted without clear reason or explanation.
your post was removed because it didn’t look like it was from a microblog. i think posting the screenshot of the microblog post you got it from would work out. you can check the modlog.
Didn’t know about the modlog thanks. That was indeed the reason my post was censored even though it very obviously looks like a microblog, is identical to all the other community posts, and is a quote from 1937 so it doesn’t matter who reposts. Unsurprisingly, mods are great at censorship, splitting hairs and being pedantic though.
So sad and happy at the same time. I enjoyed reddit for awhile so its sad to see it go further downhill but kinda happy cause fuck all of that shit they are trying to do.
man we went from spacedicks hitting the front page to this
Yea, my blessed Fediverse brethren, hear ye!
Mark thy holy lemmings, gird your loins with smelling salts and prepare for the unwashed tides. The memes will be terrible and swift, and no one will be safe from the waves of idiocy.
Tremble, for the 2nd Dawn of the Age of Incelius has arrived, and the Reddexodus Reddux is upon us!
gird thy loins with smelling salts
I’m going to wrap so much ammonium carbonite around my junk
Instructions unclear, incoherent screaming
“check for violence” for any comments that contain the word “Luigi”.
This is gonna make Nintendo retro-garming discussions really awkward.
IRL Luigi’s Mansion
as if Mods will spend time to check every single “luigi” comment, they arnt going to be bothered by, they will just auto-ban or use a bot to give a “Reason” to ban.
Normies will have to face the censorship they prefer to ignore
The oligarchs are getting nervous. Good. I hope they are a scared. Fuck their platforms and their false backing of “free speech.”
Yeah, the easiest way to control people is when you know what they fear. And, now we know what they fear. They (media/social media/politicians) have been using our fears against us all along, time to see what it is like.
YAS KING!!
MAKE THE PARASITE UNCOMFORTABLE TO EXIST AMONG US
They won’t be scared until there’s another Luigi.

What about “Cheeto chopper”?

I have a suspicion that I was followed by a mod who banned me and accused me of “throwing a tantrum” and muting me from contacting him again when I asked him to justify his ban for “promoting violence” when I very plainly hadn’t. I kept getting bans for the same thing across various other subs for similar non promotion of violence, rather laughing about the idea of a politician possessed by the ghost of GG Allin ruining their life with antics, and for harrassment for some post that wasn’t even deleted when I got my ban, so I have no idea what it even was.
No time for that kind of nonsense. The “you’re in trouble for liking the wrong comments” step is the final step into full mean girl pettiness. Reddit has become an HOA.
some large subs can crossban you, if the bots of a specific sub detects you went into a controversial sub they deemed as “brigrade threat”. i once commented in joe rogan was immediacy banned from 2 subs.
Honestly, that sounds like a blessing in disguise.

The fuck are these links?
Does anyone know how to reliably delete an entire reddit account, ideally editing over each comment as well? I did this before they closed off access to the API but upon checking months later, they had reverted all the changes so my account looks like it did before with everything visible.
you can use powersuite suite or shreddit to get rid of your posts, i used a different extension to do it. i find it sometimes even my old comments can get targeted by people too.
Thank you so much.
Reddit became a clownshow 2 years ago, how are people even still enjoying the place?
It’s still the only major community hub for loads of hobbies and such. As an example: the Magic the Gathering community here has 1300 members and almost no activity.
pokemon,yugioh, mtg are sitll all on Reddit. pokemon specifically the card game has direct line of communication(sort of) with the devs, it will be impossible/difficult to convince them to switch here. theres also certain companies that uses thier specific subs too.
Exactly this, compare Usenet reddit and Usenet lemmy. Lemmy has barely any activity.
there are niche subs there i vist that usually cant replicate somewhere else, and people are addicted to the news and political posts.
It’s been limping for a while, but the momentum was huge to begin with. The niche subreddits still had good participation, not great, but good enough. These latest shenanigans might be the final tipping point, though.
