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.

      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.

        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.

        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

      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.

    I don’t care. Reddit banned me like 4 years ago for stating that “If you have the opportunity to punch a Nazi, you should always punch the Nazi.”

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    I just got banned for saying starlink to be not trusted as coms for military ops.

    I have a feeling someone from right wing has bought a huge stake and they have exerted pressure on the management to mute all anti establishment discussions.

    Everytime they just use the rule: comment should be civil, which is freaking left to their interpretation. Below is what I wrote.

    I would not use starlink for any of my coms. These mofos may have given Russia intercept ability and location tracking.

    /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.

      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?

      My account there is 19 years old and I’m starting to spend more time on Lemmy than I am Reddit.

      My forum timeline’s been webcomic/livejournal forums > ytmnd & digg > reddit > lemmy

      (Social media’s been Chat clients > MySpace > FB > Instagram > BeReal & Pixelfed)

      Reddit may actually be doing a lot of people a big favor.

      Today Trump’s DHS went out and arrested a Palestinian student at Columbia for participating at a protest a year prior. Our federal agents are becoming like the KGB- hunting down political dissidents.

      I believe that is just a start. I think people would be wise to be careful about the things they post online. If you do post content you believe the administration may not like, I suggest making an anonymous account with an email not linked to your personal name.

      I have a hunch that people will be arrested in the near future for posting things online.

    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.
