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.
r/SuppressedNews has been banned. Seems like suppressed reddit to me
- Red, Red, Reddit, stay far from me-e-e-e-e-e-e
- Don’t let me be the one
- Being manipulated into being apathetic on social media for fear of being banned
(sing along if you know the words, pardon the formatting)—
Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrections are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy…the frontier of the rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. The need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks.

Man the censorship is just vile too. It’s not like “Oh this incites violence” it’s “anything and everything that we and our shareholders don’t agree on is gone”.
Worst part is if any other countries went after them then they would just restrict it to US news.
Classic capitalist gotcha. Turns out that prioritizing shareholders (a 3rd party leech entity unrelated to the operations or customers) is always going to lead to censorship. Like the generic “shareholder” needs stable status quo to figure out how to exploit the poors in most efficient way and violent revolt doesn’t guarantee a higher than inflation result. Modern capitalism in America is straight up a mental disorder similar to hoarding. You don’t need the money nor the stock but you’re willing to fuck over literally thousands of people for a minor gain. It should be studied … but studying this doesn’t help the bottom line so fuck any progress it’s death and destruction for %% daily return. Fuck all this
Is it really down to shareholder demand though? I’ve a suspicion that it goes a bit higher than that.
They are Streisand effecting the information though because the more they censor, the more people will talk about it. There’s already been a news article published by The Verge. It’s going to backfire so badly lmao.
Seeing that non-right sided medias are picking this up is good. Hopefully it builds more traction and if they can even say something as simple as “Lemmy is an alternative” we can see healthy growth. I know r/conservative is probably loving it but in the last month I’ve seen them advocate for more violence than any other subreddits. Yet they remain free and open. Gotta love how contradicting reddit has become since the blackout.
not contradicting at all if you consider them as part of the putin/musk propaganda apparatus
Hey they got me long ago but permanently banned IP address maybe? Tried new numbers, new emails, and glad after the last few days
Lol same. I’m finally starting to realize it wasn’t a me thing. I’ve really disliked the general flow of reddit for a while but it’s just such an easy thing to open up and scroll through. Didn’t know alternatives like this existed
they also looked for same device, browser fingerprinting, behaviour pattern, reddits banning filters is the most aggressive of any social media, and site.
Reddit has been compromised for a while now. 2016 opened them up. The API fiasco blew the door down. r/place exposed it and exploited Reddit for what it is. And we’re now seeing the new course of direction continue.
How did r/place expose anything?
Doesnt that kinda go against the whole point of r/place? Kinda fuckin stupid
Ok. Thanks.
Reddit is compromised.
Elders of Lemmy:
Make advertisers into bad words “hellofresh the rich” " squarespace the ceos"
I fucking love this and I’m stealing it
This is, excuse me, fucking brilliant
I think you mean “Nintendo the CEOs”
they already banned “Luigi” so good luck discussing Nintendo games.
Mark Zuckerberg needs to be facebooked
Reminds me of how RTGame censors the word ‘fuck’ with the word ‘Youtube’ on videos posted to Youtube
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.
I’m here because I replied to “let’s not give them an inch” with “let’s give them 9mm” and was permanently banned from politics, no recourse. That’s the most left leaning sub on the website.
When they took API access away I was pissed but I stayed. But taking away my free speech, seriously? They can go fuck themselves.
But do you think ‘nine millimeters’ would have passed?
I could have said “let’s give them 0.354 inches” but why bother. I did that for a few days but going on Reddit is the same as supporting them.
Quality perspective.
That’s the problem with these corporations — the foundation is rotten, and they have no principles beyond more money. It has been this way for some time.
Now, we have an economy where the arbitrary whims of billionaires and our king is the main determinant of their share price. This is how Reddit kisses the boot.
They would exhume my grandmother if it increased share price by one tenth of one percent.
Reddit doesn’t want users participating in the site. They want eyes looking at ads and that’s it. Look, don’t touch. We’ve got bots for touching.
Lurkers are more lucrative than posters.
Other than the sweet sweet LLM training comment money….
BUT NO ACTUAL POSTS! LEAVE THOSE FOR ADVERTISERS!
i have adblockers on, so they never get ad revenue anyways.
14 year old account for me. Mod of a million plus sub. 700k karma. Built fucking subreddits into real communities. Banned over a joke I made for a decade. Reddit is dying and we now have a new federated home.
Don’t leave us in suspense - what was the opinion?
They like pineapple on pizza.
Aww, I like pineapple on pizza :0(
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.
And insiders dumped $59m shares in late January. Shocked, I tell you!
It’s the way of business these days. They got their money. The ship can sink now. The users suffer.
Good. The dildo of consequence is rarely lubed
/r/conservative and /r/conspiracy are still open… What a fucking shit-ass website. I don’t get why they don’t just
rm -rfthe 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.
sad how conspiracy sub got co-opted by russian trolls and right wingers, i was there before trump took office the 1st time, and it was a completely different sub.
Same man, I miss the old “sane” conspiracy sub. Seriously, the shit on there now makes the old sub look sane.
They’re in the business of selling “organic” content to AI companies, but those AI companies don’t want advertiser-unfriendly language in their datasets.
Advertisors are dumb as fuck. Like, clearly if their datasets contain language that is not “advertisor friendly” then who the fuck are they trying to advertise to?
“Wow, all of society is doing this stuff. But this isn’t very friendly. The people doing that stuff certainly wouldn’t like if we advertised the stuff they’re doing!”
I honestly think it’s some weird plot to take humanity back to a puritanical society.
Think about it.
All major websites are censoring language and content that could even remotely be construed as adult-friendly or “harmful”; the fact so many US states are outright banning porn sites (I know it’s like a hydra, but the point still stands); the entire world is sliding right back into fascism; I even feel like Hollywood is stepping away from things like violence and vulgarity.
It’s all a fucking sham and I fucking hate it. Let us swear; let us jack off to the weird shit we want to jack off too; just let people be people.
Why does there have to be a small but extremely powerful subset of people who can run the entire world and dictate what the rest of us can and can’t do?
We have to be the counterculture to overtake and replace the rotten mainstream. No compromise
I honestly think it’s some weird plot to take humanity back to a puritanical society.
And it’s not just the conservatives. The self-identified progressive places do it too.
The thing about the puritans were that they had harsh rules that existed to try to keep their flock from sinning. They failed as such things always fail.
A good example of a common practice from the time was that part of the pay of a young man working on another mans farm was the bed of their eldest daughter at night. It made identifying the father of the child easier.This one practice alone made the puritans a lot more rational than this current cancer on society.
Dont mind me just slowly transitioning over to Lemmy
I regressed back to Reddit for a bit. I’m back for good after I found out they’re also suppressing anti consumption movements.
Reddit can keep all the NPCs.
I hope lemmy becomes large enough to support niche communities, but never coddles nazis like reddit does.
I fear that the Nazis will come first, but am hopeful they keep to their corner.
What are they doing exactly?
Someone will post about victories in anti consumption and mods will remove it minutes or hours later. r/news is especially guilty of this.
Im here bc the app I used finally broke after the api changes years ago.
I like it but I do not understand the whole instance thing
It’s just like email. It mostly doesnt matter what instance you choose as you can talk with almost any other instance. There are a couple instances that have been defederated from most other instances, but they are few and far between. Anyway, it’s exactly like email.
It mostly doesnt matter what instance you choose as you can talk with almost any other instance.
since there isn’t an advantage of one instance over another and you can talk to everyone, why/ what are the benefits of joining a specific instance?
sidebar: would it be possible to change instances after account creation?
No. Find an instance that aligns with your morals and maybe something that interests you, like an lgbtq instance or a vegan instance and sign up there. As for moving instances, you can migrate your account, but it mostly just moves your subscriptions, not your comments or posts
I’ve gotten permabans on multiple subs and also overall bans from reddit admin itself. Various reasons like pro-luigi comments, anti-trump comments, anti-israeli comments, pro-ukraine comments. Reddit is a propaganda platform now.
I got permanently banned off Reddit during the whole Luigi thing, I didn’t say anything bad I just supported what he did, next thing I know I’m banned
I got permabanned for suggestions of trump and a tree chipper… 😬
Lemmy is what reddit used to be.
reddit was never open-source and community-hosted
I just meant the feel of it
Just got my ban for saying how Luigi is my favorite super marios brother. Like on the racing ones, how accurate he can dome someone with a turtle shell. And he is insanely fast. Like dude can go from one side of the map to the other in speeds unexplainable.
They banned me for violent comments.
I appealed with a ‘eat shit, DDD Spez’
Removed by mod
I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels like this, like things here actually make sense. Sometimes I browse Reddit and I’m just like “when did you people start thinking like this?”. So bootlicky lol
I came here with the API changes, but I knew there would be future waves. It’s so nice. I believe in Lemmy and the promise of federated media to help technology work for humans.
A thousand Luigi’s upon Huffman and Musk!
