Having not been using this place as regularly for the last couple of weeks, it definitely looks like there's more upvotes on posts now in general compared to when I started up here about two months ago. Even just before this latest Reddit fuck up, it looks a lot to me like there's been a steady influx lately. Like suddenly noticing that the grass has got longer.
It's why I'm here. 12 year member, nearly a million in karma, perma-banned for repeating a statement I'd made many times in the past with no repercussions. The first time I repeated it after HitlerPig stole the election, I was fully banned.
It's happening because Ohanion wants to buy TikTok, and he knows HitlerPig will be personally making the decision, based on who smooched his ass the most, and who paid the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he's volunteering to make Reddit a member of the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
I hope Reddit goes the way of Digg.
Permabanned after nearly 12 years. Forgive me for hating Nazi's. I'd made the statement fuck all Nazi's but six several times but this time was this time I got automod flagged. They are pretty much flagging the word Nazi regardless of context or overall statements made. The same goes for the word Luigi. Also, Karma is basically useless considering downvoting too much can also lead to a ban. It is pretty ridiculous. I'd never been banned once for any reason except for the last 6 months where I've been sub banned or gotten 3-7 day bans several times for making points about the sorry state of affairs in America lately. Forgive me for not bowing to kiss the fascist MAGA ring. Reddit has really put profits over people this time with these stupid rules and no real care in reading appeals or looking at context during moderation. It is all for their bottom line and oligarch investors now.
Gonna? My fellow user of Linux, it's already happening.
today / last night he confidentley stated that the X cyberattack was "traced" to Ukraine.
he's just another head of the hydra, the hydra being the transnational crime syndicate that masquerades as the US, Russian, and other governments.
I spent an hour last night interacting with and outing ruzzian trolls on Reddit. There was no doubt these were ruzzians, because after a couple of tit-for-tat comments, they use terms like "we" when talking about ruzzias invasion of Ukraine. They all knew what Yandex was without asking or querying it, as a non ruzzian would. In some comments I explained why ruzzia is a third world shithole country, because I've been there. I told a couple to go dig babushka a fresh latrine pit, and a couple others how good they'd look fertilizing sunflowers in Kursk Woke up today, and I've been permanently banned "for inciting violence". Reddit is a hive full of ruzzian trolls and bots, and the moderators appear to support them. I don't think I'll bother creating another account lol.
I've had a few of my "check out lemmy.ca" posts deleted there and frankly I don't see how it breaks reddit TOS. They're just bitter.
Oh no there goes the neighbourhood!
Just kidding, welcome refugees!
Who the fuck named him the boss of anything? And Europe doenst need defense we are perfectly capable of defending ourselves thank you very much
What put me off Reddit was my perception that most of the very active users are toxic. Some of the users seem to enjoy bashing everything and anything that they slightly disagreed with and it has reached it's tipping point for me. It seems to me that they are exceptionally lacking in personal development and critical thinking and it ruins what makes the platform great. I'm hoping this platform doesn't end up like Reddit.
Today i saw a deleted comment in a post titled “trump says he will label violence on tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism” and someone quoted it to express their shock that the comment was deleted. It was “elon and the orange dictator need to be removed from the board” and on top of that people are getting moderated messages warning them that they are liking content related to Luigi mangione. And they are even deleting people’s comments that mention the name luigi mangione.
We are in a full fledged fascist authoritarian police state. The only way to remedy it is a revolution. The system is under complete corporate control and has shown that it will not allow self remediation through its own mechanisms. Like the Princeton study proved the amount of influence one has upon legislated policy is directly correlated with the amount of wealth you have with regular working class people having a statistically irrelevant near zero impact on policy regardless how popular or unpopular the policy may be. This is the reality. There is no way forward that isn’t uncomfortable. And those who believe they are too comfortable to risk what they have need to really examine their reality and see if it truly is comfortable or just a meaningless existence of repetitive wage slavery with basically no autonomy or meaning within such an existence. And at the rate the working class habe lost what little we had that was worth working for in the last 5/6 decades how much more will be lost in the future decades and at that point how can you even believe your children will have any semblance of a life worth working and living for? Something needs to be done now before it is too late which it unfortunately may already be. The internet which was supposed to revolutionize human connection and the spread of ideas and information has been weaponized against us to the benefit of the ruling class and something needs to be done to counteract this. The fact that it was easier for people to mobilize and effect change before the magic glowing screens disseminating propaganda becoming so widely available says all we need to know. There is still hope but thst possibility is dwindling faster by the day. But those saying that the answer is to get out and vote and advocating for ballot box socialism/ ballot box progress are deuded and misinformed.
nobody knows what that thread was. Nice post
US out Ukraine in!
