The mods at r/popculture pointed it out. And then the screenshot above.
The subreddit drama
Yea, my blessed Fediverse brethren, hear ye!
Mark thy holy lemmings, gird thy 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!
Just nuked my entire reddit account due to this blatant censorship. Hello Lemmy and lemm.ee it's nice to be here
man we went from spacedicks hitting the front page to this
My 11 year old account, very active account, was recently banned from reddit but I'm not sure why. They deleted the comment so I'm not sure what it said. But I've been posting there for 11 years with no issues so something has changed.
I believe the comment I made was talking about if the US invaded Canada and I said they would be hard pressed to hold the country because Canadians look like Americans and we would take the battle across the border.
It's a common sense statement. Doesn't incite any more violence then quoting half the things Trump says about Canada any given day.
I think Reddit is purging the left leaning accounts and making a Nazi safespace like Twitter.
So sad…I loved Reddit…I’m so sad to see it come to this. I’m so sad for all of the young people who think this is how the internet should be…..
Reddit has been doing this shit for years. It's a big reason why I left. Spez (little piggie) was only the catalyst.
A few ban-happy,power tripping moderators did come over here, though. I don't have specifics on that, I just know I've seen them, and I've also been banned for some real dumb shit. I just stay away from those communities/instances.
The entire stuff going on is too stupid for me. I was using Lemmy for lurking and Reddit for other shit. I'm staying here now.
I mean this is political censorship. Just plain and simple. Well done reddit. And i am against violence. But the thing that touches me the wrong way is the idea that not guilty until proven completely got lost in this case. And dont get me started on the united healthcare topic. Ia this still allowed on reddit or will it get shadow banned?
Ive been on Reddit for 10 to 15 years. Its always been a strange place but ive never seen anything like what's going on at the moment.
- weird rules (like 'Luigi') being applied system-wide without being communicated
- automated actions applied to individual users site-wide, like allowing them to engage but preventing them from creating posts anywhere
- over zealous mods. I'm assuming a lot of mods got sick of it and left over the last few years and those doing the work are under experienced. Or maybe just AI. Its possible.
- GPTs engaging in posts and comments for training
- agents from hostile governments agitating and spurring on political discussions that favour their agenda.
So yeah I'm giving up on it now, its just no fun anymore.
Hey everyone, there's a lot of you. You ever think maybe you can just troll them by none stop posting to all their subreddits. Hell the mods are like the same 20 people in over 5000 sub reddits. That's a weak point.
Well that means they’re afraid. We’re not calling for anything violent we’re just calling out what we see. It’s a shame that Reddit went red. #boycottreddit
Everybody log into your reddit accounts and post "Luigi" everywhere you can.
Let it burn.
How long till the people still using X, Meta, and Reddit products will start to be featured on !leopardsatemyface@lemm.ee and other related communities?
This is awesome. Are they going to start banning any reference to the SuperMario Bros IP, now?
e.g.
"This guy is looking more and more like Bowser every day, someone ought to do something about it"
"Princess peach has had it, time to go get the parasol"
"I'm sick of these motherfucking goombas on this motherfucking Earth"
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.
Pains me to say, but Reddit can eat my ass.
Just switched to Lemmy for this exact reason! Got banned for god knows why and immediately deleted Reddit.
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.
Legit question -not tryna start shit/trigger intentionally: has this kind of reddit response ever happened before? Ive been on reddit for the past 10+ years, but as a comfy lurker. I remember "internal" reddit issues when the 3rd party thing was a thing.
(Quotes bc, from my POV as a lurker/casual user, the upset regarding reddit nixing 3rd party was too meta for me to really understand beyond "this is bad for reddit users")
I've gained enough info by casual usage-proxy to move over to lemme. But ngl, im not grasping the magnitude of why "reddit is bad now". I dont disagree, but i couldnt explain on my own to an outsider why i agree with that sentiment.
Obviously, censorship is bad mmmkay - I'm not questioning this. I have a gut feeling that making the switch and getting my global info from the fediverse is a good call. I just can't express why, and am requesting assistance from the community's exp in how I can express that. This seems like as good a topic ad any for a platform to discuss the matter.
Time to invite them over?
I am not surprised though. Someone with money is now exerting influence because Reddit is the most popular place for the resistance to oligarchy. Oligarchy aim is to own all media and they believe that will be the end of resistance's ability to spread messages.
I just made the switch to lemm.ee so I think I might just “incite violence” and nuke my account. Good riddance.
Ah, they’re now mini-zampolit for the reddit admins.
Mods on Lemmy are a bunch of Napoleonic cunts as well. I'm constantly having posts censored and deleted without clear reason or explanation.
hey reddit hows it going

yeah
Play a charicter specifically to get downvotes, even ASK or subtly imply you should.
Make a bot to downvote anything you dont explicitly upvote, but make upvote button un-downvote posts.
Who said button must corralate to intent? Dont dislike this post OP, i worked really hard on it!
