New here! Fuck reddit.
New here! Fuck reddit.
So, I've now had a 9 year account and a 13 year account both permabanned.
They've linked them as the same user and banned me for a benign post on r/pics.
I lost all faith in reddit when they changed the api then Relay for reddit stopped working.
Base model app is shit.
Comments constantly erase and empty endpoint error.
Can't even say 'I like that player two energy on super Mario bros', because that's 'violent'.
I've posted tens of thousands of comments and only recently had issues.
Got banned for saying 'Elon simps in our midst' referring to mods....who proved my point.
And finally now, they are paywalling shit soon.
Adios.
Anyway, I left digg in the great exodus for reddit, now this looks like my new home.
Rant over lol.
Fuck reddit and fuck spez
Just deleted my account as well.
I closed my account 2 weeks ago after being there for 13+ years. Thousands and thousands of comments and posts. Oh well, I don't even miss it a little bit. It truly became garbage when they locked out free API access. This banning for liking Luigi or shit talking Elon is so against what reddit was about, they've lost their way and I refuse to participate.
Welcome to the fediverse.
I lost about seven 12-year-old accounts all for telling off one piece of shit incel, quoting his slur so he couldn't edit, and reporting him. Mods banned me from a major subreddit for "using a slur" and didn't listen to my appeal that I was the one fighting the incel and just quoted him so he couldn't change his comment. Mods acted like pubescent morons and called me names for politely asking for a review of the incident, I changed account to keep talking to people I knew there, got perma-banned for ban-evasion, they sniffed out my other accounts then and banned those too, then I made new accounts but got permanently shadowbanned for criticizing conservatives and reddit mods, made new accounts, those accounts also are now shadowbanned for who-knows-why.
But whatever their excuses are, the reality is clear. They don't want human users, this is why "shadowbans" are a thing, they want humans to feel like they're interacting, but in reality they want a billion bots talking to each other and simulating narratives and conversations so they can twist a few dials and change public opinion on whatever they want.
They're already doing it, it works. A large percentage of users there are already very convincing AI's.
They aren't hiding this, they announced that they would be letting AI's "use" reddit to train and learn. They never specified to what end or how many.
Welcome! I left when Reddit is Fun was shut down, and I feel so much safer, as a woman, on Lemmy.
Yeah man. It’s trash there now a days. Welcome!
Jesus, it's gotten even worse since I left. Fuck Reddit.
Elon started to repressure reddit again on criticism against him just recently
It honestly feels like the transition from Digg to Reddit way back when. If you're on iPhone, I am using Voyager and have been happy with it.
Similiar thing happened to me. Elon has bitch tits.
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
welcome! it is better here
Reddit is the new digg. Its taking longer but the result will be the same. When the real mass exodus occurs we will pick up all the toxins currently in their bubble over there.
Welcome. There's a lot less fuckery and it's a lot quieter.
Got banned for saying a member of the Taliban should be killed and not on a merry go round.
Also a Reddit refugee, but moved over after the API debacle.
After that Reddit decided to ban my 10 year old account, I guess as a final fuck you, but I’m not missing much these days for 98% of what Reddit considers content now.
The other 2% is when I pop in for my super niche hobby subs because Lemmy is too small for those
A gift of peace in all good faith
Welcome!
resistance is futile
welcome!
Welcome to the fediverse!
Lemmy could be better.
Me too
