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.

    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’

    Its pretty preposterous to be banned for saying “kill all Nazi’s but six” on a site where the CEO used to moderate r/jailbait and the literally racist eugenics loving subreddits r/spacedicks and r/the_donald used to exist.

      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.

        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

        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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

          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

              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.

                  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

      The difference is here you can check the mod log to see what actions have been taken and what reason was given for it, and power tripping admins can’t reach beyond their instance.

        Yep, users and communities can shift away to a new instance if they want. While the fact that there might be 3+ communities on different instances all covering the same topic is a weak point, it’s also a strength in this regard, so it kind of evens out. And if you really want to, you can make your own instance.

          While the fact that there might be 3+ communities on different instances all covering the same topic is a weak point,

          I feel like there has to be a solution to that though. Some way to seamlessly consolidate subs for the front end.

            I hope not.

            Consolidating them is not a good outcome. We want them to be separated because they’re seperate for a reason.

            Imagine 3 people baked a delicious bowl of beans, but 1 tastes like arse to you. Would you want all 3 bowls poured into one and ruin the taste of the 2 good bowls?

              You don’t consume one bean at a time though. The existence of a lazy or boring post doesn’t ruin the good posts next to it. You can’t scroll through the beans from the crappy batch to only eat the good ones.

              Besides, that’s still a solvable problem. I’m talking about a front-end solution, something that could be customized. Like a multi-reddit on reddit, but easily shareable like a starter pack on Bluesky. And if the multi-pack isn’t to your liking, you just edit it for yourself.

      Yes but those moderators are more or less as sensitive and very few of them get power tripping.

      • Nope. Just because you change the app doesn’t mean all that shitty and toxic human behaviour goes away.

        There are tons of power tripping mods and admins on Lemmy.

            And they have to document the reason for bans that’s how certain Lemmy.world mods got caught acting in bad faith.

            Also, they can’t buy you fediversr wide.

            So people who get banned on main Lemmy.world sub’s just continue discussions on other sub’s without being harassed by neo lib clown mods.

      I attempted to post an original comic on Lemmy to what is basically the only comic strip sub. It was probably the only comic that had been posted that week that wasn’t on reddit first. It got removed for profanity. The profanity in question? “Balls”.

      I posted it to reddit after that, and it hit the front page of r/all. Not to toot my own horn, but that’s some good fucking original content that the comic strip sub on Lemmy could have used.
