Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.
Still on Reddit? Use a comment and post wiper now, before you get banned.
Man… I wen’t through so many permas on reddit. I am so happy that the alternative is forming
Kinda nice to get banned though. I was banned from xitter for liking a comment critical of the muskman, it really helped reinforce that I needed to be done with that place though. Maybe I’ll move on from Reddit before that happens…
Nice permanent ban!
I left for much less; A 24-hour suspension. Though to be honest, that was literally just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I got suspended for using the word “retard” in a scientifically and non-offensive context (ex: put bread in the fridge to retard the growth of mold). No way to appeal that obviously retar-- ridiculous decision.
this is so reminiscent if the digg Exodus around the aacs key. bans pushed us to reddit, and at a higher rate than those being banned. Lemmy mau is up over 10%. idk if the bleeding can be stopped.
uninvolved users will stay with it. digg had 2 or 3 major redesigns before I stopped hearing about it completely. it became little more than yahoo! news.
I’m sure that is the fate of reddit now.
I left Digg during that exodus and went to Reddit, and now here I am. Enshittification happens everywhere that capitalism finds an opportunity to put its dick in someone’s ass, it’ll probably happen here too if it gets popular.
Reddit has turned into a complete shithole the past two years. The sooner it gets taken out back and bludgeoned to death, the better.
Personally, I don’t trust anyone who hasn’t been banned at least once from that place.
All these Reddit bans I’m seeing are insane. At this rate, soon most of that site is actually going to be bots lol
Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it’s surreal.
It’s truly astounding, isn’t it? Like, is there any investment that hasn’t totally killed the product? You can feel when a company switches over too to the investors. It doesn’t matter what the product is.
Like, take the website ModCloth. Started as a vintage fashion reseller. It was like a little community that was attached to a e-commerce store.
Walmart subsidiary bought them out. Changed over the website. Deleted everyone’s usernames, information, and profiles. And with it over a decade of user posts and photos. Website stopped selling any good quality vintage style clothes. The entire reason anyone shipped there. It’s just like drop shopped tshirts with stolen art now. What the fuck.
I can think of a hundred more examples. Investors buying any company should sound like a banshee scream.
Soon we will see it happen to Discord. It will be pretty awful.
Where are we moving to instead of Discord?
matrix or mumble or xmpp
Man I’ve supported discord for years too. Fucking sucks. It makes me upset to think about.
Well at least IRC with come back with good searching… Unless Google fucks that up somehow. The internet is dead or dying.
Yeah even google search is broken thanks to AI, never thought it would happen but here we are.
I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.
Still trying appeals but not optimistic.
Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.
… Im so bitter.
Now I’m bitter for you too.
Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?
I’ve been reporting people that hint at violence after I got banned for something that was 1000% not even close to a hint at political violence… like not even being sarcastic. Anyway, the more banned the more people leave. Silver linings. Reddit era deserves to be over.
What opinion got you banned?
OP conveniently omitting that detail suggests that popcorn may be in order.
Probably just practical observations for how to improve things
Or a racist and violent tirade.
They’re all just baseless theories until they reveal what they actually said.
I don’t want to doubt OP too hard, but yea, at least tell us what you said so we are not blindly siding with you
