Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
yay, my once which was my fav platform becoming a shitshow. i won’t miss it
For anyone that still has a reddit account, if you have any good community subreddits, tell them to relocate to Lemmy :)
Question: is there such a thing as an “True Neutral” Lemmy instance that federates with everything by default?
I’ve come across many troubling subreddits over time, but PoliticalCompassMemes was the first one that made me feel like I was witnessing the beginning of a dangerous online pipeline. At first, it seemed like a “funny, all-inclusive political humor sub,” but the more I looked, the more unsettling it became. Unfortunately, things have only gotten worse since then.
JFC… looks like Reddit is now only good for old Tech questions.
Well, then.
Now I just need a good way to scrub my account before deleting it. Any suggestions?
Damn Reddit you really let yourself go
I am so close to deleting Reddit too, among all other American services I’ve been canceling since the beginning of the new year.
Just got my ban for saying how Luigi is my favorite super marios brother. Like on the racing ones, how accurate he can dome someone with a turtle shell. And he is insanely fast. Like dude can go from one side of the map to the other in speeds unexplainable.
They banned me for violent comments.
I appealed with a ‘eat shit, DDD Spez’
Make advertisers into bad words “hellofresh the rich” " squarespace the ceos"
I think you mean “Nintendo the CEOs”
This is, excuse me, fucking brilliant
I fucking love this and I’m stealing it
Reminds me of how RTGame censors the word ‘fuck’ with the word ‘Youtube’ on videos posted to Youtube
You’re youtubing kidding me.
I just tried this out after wiping all my comments, let’s see if I get a ban
Mark Zuckerberg needs to be facebooked
they already banned “Luigi” so good luck discussing Nintendo games.
I saw someone say Lewie G. as a substitute
Reddit is compromised.
I’m done as well. Fuck them.
Man the censorship is just vile too. It’s not like “Oh this incites violence” it’s “anything and everything that we and our shareholders don’t agree on is gone”.
Worst part is if any other countries went after them then they would just restrict it to US news.
They are Streisand effecting the information though because the more they censor, the more people will talk about it. There’s already been a news article published by The Verge. It’s going to backfire so badly lmao.
Seeing that non-right sided medias are picking this up is good. Hopefully it builds more traction and if they can even say something as simple as “Lemmy is an alternative” we can see healthy growth. I know r/conservative is probably loving it but in the last month I’ve seen them advocate for more violence than any other subreddits. Yet they remain free and open. Gotta love how contradicting reddit has become since the blackout.
not contradicting at all if you consider them as part of the putin/musk propaganda apparatus
putins trolls control the sub, and the mods. not an accident why they are constantly on the front page all the time. and then theres the subs that “pretend to be both sides”
Hey they got me long ago but permanently banned IP address maybe? Tried new numbers, new emails, and glad after the last few days
Lol same. I’m finally starting to realize it wasn’t a me thing. I’ve really disliked the general flow of reddit for a while but it’s just such an easy thing to open up and scroll through. Didn’t know alternatives like this existed
they also looked for same device, browser fingerprinting, behaviour pattern, reddits banning filters is the most aggressive of any social media, and site.
Classic capitalist gotcha. Turns out that prioritizing shareholders (a 3rd party leech entity unrelated to the operations or customers) is always going to lead to censorship. Like the generic “shareholder” needs stable status quo to figure out how to exploit the poors in most efficient way and violent revolt doesn’t guarantee a higher than inflation result. Modern capitalism in America is straight up a mental disorder similar to hoarding. You don’t need the money nor the stock but you’re willing to fuck over literally thousands of people for a minor gain. It should be studied … but studying this doesn’t help the bottom line so fuck any progress it’s death and destruction for %% daily return. Fuck all this
Reddit is compromised.
Elders of Lemmy:
Reddit has been compromised for a while now. 2016 opened them up. The API fiasco blew the door down. r/place exposed it and exploited Reddit for what it is. And we’re now seeing the new course of direction continue.
How did r/place expose anything?
Doesnt that kinda go against the whole point of r/place? Kinda fuckin stupid
Ok. Thanks.
Have you all read 1984? First they will make thing illegal. Then they will hide away what is illegal. After that someone will learn something was illegal. Once they are found out, that illegal thing will be completely changed so there is no evidence anything was illegal to begin with.
I would not be shocked if try to scrub these bans so users can’t see if a community was banned.
If only lemmy posts showed up on search engines, reddit would be finished.
Appeal to duck duck go?
There’s also slamming Reddit with more Lemmy talk. Maybe seed the standard Lemmy apps as Reddit apps and see what shakes out.
Some posts do show up on google but very few
Dude! How the FUCK aren’t you triggered by 19 unanswered messages? I would have flipped my shit after 2!
Its message requests that I just ignore
Can you just mark them as read then? I can’t just be here living my life while random people on the internet have unread messages /s
What’s worse in its way is that reddit policies basically state that once a subreddit has been banned they are free to ban any new attempts at the subreddit that might pop up.
That’s fine, my bans are permanent too…
Slashdot,Fark,Digg,Reddit, Lemmy…What did Slashdot do?
I’m not entirely certain to be honest. It was 25 years ago now. Whatever it was, I never went back lol
Edit: looking back since it made me curious, likely something to do with them going public back then.
Edit 2: I’m certain that’s what it was, because I remembered Fark was just Drew. That was very appealing during the dot com implosion. So, I moved from the new evil corp to the open source equivalent lol
I get that.
Was curious as I still read slashdot and find they’re one of the last sites left with comments.
oh yeah, i was still actually reading them too. until recently when they stopped working with ad blocking. when i’m done with a site, i might still visit. but, i remove my accounts and no longer interact. they still have some good conversation and links on occasion.
My adblocker (uBlock Origin) still blocks their ads.
But I get that as a reason for leaving.
Oh, my adblocker still blocked their ads. They just started throwing an error a few months ago (i think) that wouldn’t let me continue on the page unless i disabled it. I checked on occasion for a few weeks and it continued. It does look like it might work again, but they have finally lost themselves from my daily workflow lol
Sounds like a great sub to have over here.
