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.
To be fair, there's about a fifty-fifty chance that a subreddit, or lemmy community for that matter, called "supressed news" is going to be filled loonies, and those guys could spend all day masturbating to the though of violently dismantling the power of the World Economic Forum.
Finally deleted my account there just now. Place is so far removed from the principles it was founded on. Guess I'll be here a lot more... but hopefully spending less time doom scrolling in general.
I’m glad Lemmy is here as an alternative to Reddit censorship. It really is rich versus poor in the U.S. instead of the right versus left that media propaganda tells us.
I got myself permabanned for saying even sharks don’t like Russians on a story about a shark attack. On that website since 2008, guess it was a good push in the right direction, it’s been getting shittier.
After 12 years and over 900K Karma, I got permanently banned for repeating an opinion that I've posted many times over the past decade. Then Trump gets elected, and the exact same opinion gets me a permaban.
Now I'm hearing that they are banning people for UPVOTES! I wondered why Reddit had decided to throw in with the Nazis, and I this week I see in the news that Ohanion wants to buy TikTok. The new owner of TikTok will be personally chosen by HitlerPig, so Zuckerfuck has been kissing up, and now Ohanion wants in on it. HitlerPig will award it to whomever kisses his ass and pays him the most.
Reddit currently has a beastiality sub. They don’t allow real images obviously but people post hentai and fish for more. In the comments, they give each other advice/describe their activities.
Might have been your post that brought me to Lemmy, too. Saw lots of folks saying they got warnings for Luigi/other content I am interested in, and decided I am out, too.
Will spend a couple weeks encouraging people in some of my niche communities, and then no more reddit.
I love how in r/conservative and r/antiSemitismInReddit (Ignore the name, they mean anti-neozionists and are willing to shame Jews who protest against Israels actions as well, they even have a tag for them), they always complain about reddit being biased against them when it is quite the opposite. Take Jibrish, bringing his Eve Online gaslighting and trolling from the r/eve community to the r/conservative community, also running around shamelessly in r/RedditSafety. Reddit is effectively Silicon Valley psyop, meant to gather data and keep an eye on the tendency of the more educated lot on the Internet (as well as keep them in pro-neozionist bubbles by pushing them in major subreddits like r/worldnews).
Hell, read or search about maxwellhill on YouTube. Some have taken that the fact that the account has logged in for private chats as having disproved that claim when all it proves is that someone, albeit lawyer, family member, or otherwise, has logged into the account. What can't be disputed as a conspiracy theory and can be easily confirmed is that Ellen Pao, former Reddit CEO, revealed Ghislaine Maxwell who along with Epstein essentially ran that, a Silicon Valley psyops, was present at the same Silicon Valley Christmas celebrations as her and other influentials. This is the level of manipulation, where there is money there will be a will to manipulate.
Reddit has absolutely no problem complying or letting US federal authorities and intelligence agencies access to all of the information they gather on your account on their backend. There used to be subreddits where you could report moderators, "karmawhores", who trolled and abused their power. They were banned from the platform even after complying far more than other subreddits that got to remain. Forget pointing out the genocide of Palestinians, there was a time where you would even get banned from worldnews for calling cryptoscams confidence games. After Trump's first term and the T_D disaster, the conversation seemed to shift from that failed insurgency (at the time) to a reddit spearled meme stock economic destabilization attempts. Reddit is subjecting yourself to be manipulated for the opportunity to participate in some communities, and they know it.
Permanently banned last week. Mods didn't care for my thoughts on Luigi and Trump/Musk (they're joined at the hip AFAIC, except Trump is definately the bottom, despite his diaper issues), and the madness of MAGA. Reddit is firmly in the facist camp, just like Timmy Cook, i.e. they will follow the money and the power; their capitalist instincts are pure. Fuck them all.
I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that the RDDT stock price has dropped 40% in the last month, and it's not surprising. That site is a sinking ship.
Its truly nuts over there. I have now had 5 different accounts perma banned and im tired of evading their fingerprinting just to bypass each pan for similar comments. Like nothing that the general public would find controversial even remotely.
/r/conservative and /r/conspiracy are still open... What a fucking shit-ass website. I don't get why they don't just # rm -rf the whole fucking thing already.
Clearly they're pissed that people are still using the site. They've made efforts to stop it by making shit redesigns, releasing a shitty app, user profiles, shutting off the API and trying to force people to use their shit app.
They must be seething that people are still using it and they've found a new way to try to get people to stop. Of course, they could shut the site down, but these are execs we're talking about - their forté is ignoring every elephant in the room and then creating "solutions" that completely miss the problem.
I don't appreciate the Luigi praise or the DOGE leaks, either, but I recognize that I'm in the minority on Lemmy (lol) & idk to a certain extent I respect freedom of speech. The DOGE email leak is public info, in that it was leaked to the public....
In any case, we're all in agreement: R!ddit deserves to die. Just because they were the first runaway success public forum doesn't mean they own it forever. Especially when they shit the bed, suppress freedom of speech, kill 3rd party apps, & farm out user data for AI scraping.
Reddit says they care about freedom of speech and liberal views. I realized a long time ago that their view of liberalism is to allow people who follow their narrative and ban people who don’t.
It's a real shame. There is a treasure trove of information on there for niche topics, and years of researching problems and questions etc. It really sucks that it's gotten to this point.
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.
It’s insane how crazy it’s gotten. I got like IP banned because I made a pretty calm but snarky remark at someone telling people they didn’t care about a kid dying because they weren’t donating to the funeral (which like, wat).
We have moderators here too. Significantly more adequate, I would even say nice, but still. And they delete messages from time to time and even ban people. So keep being vigilant.
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.
When you have to appease the share holders to make the most money, you need to dissuade everyone from exercising free speech they could inhibit shareholders from getting ad revenue from Nazi companies that support Nazi Reddit.
Aaron Swartz must he rolling in his grave to see how the open and free internet he co-owned and designed is now a corporate circle jerk cuck fest hell bent on sucking off Trump and the other oligarchs.
Ye... Reddit is run by one entity , while there's absolutely also foul eggs on lemmy it's way better over here , you can allways leave a badly maintained instance and go to a better one if you want.
I'm gonna get downvoted to oblivion, but leaked isn't public. I posted a link to leaked Starcraft: Ghost build on Web Archive. This game got removed from there.
