Reddit sure loves to protect U.S. fascists.
Just the US ones?
👀
I just deleted my reddit account. 🤟😎
It’s become pretty clear that Reddit has chosen to slide into corpo-fascism. Don’t be surprised when signs of dissent are squashed, when rebellious subreddits are systematically suppressed until they’re removed entirely, when the accounts of those who resist are closed and IP banned. Abandon all hope of free expression there, they’ve chosen their side and aren’t going to entertain the opposition any longer.
After 12 years, and nearly a million karma, i was permabanned right after HitlerPig was inaugurated, for repeating an opinion that i have stated many times. Nobody ever said a word until HitlerPig was in office, then suddenly I was permabanned. I came over to Lemmy, only to find i wasn’t alone.
I suspect the reason is because Ohanion wamts to buy TikTok, and he knows that HitlerPig will be making the decision personally, based on who smooches his ass, follows his orders, and pays the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he abandons Reddit’s doctrine of Free Speech.
Reddit is a Nazi web site.
Reddit is run by Nazis*
You know how the Germans see it. " If there are 4 people at the table and one of them is a nazi, then there are 4 Nazis at the table"
I see MAGA the same way.
Deleted my Reddit account after more than a decade today.
I love the simple brilliance of “Elon Musk is a bellend”, nothing more really needs to be said.
Yup. Also got my account suspension due to “suspicious activity” on “upvoting and engaging with discriminatory and violent content”.
Meaning I upvoted posts condemning US’s current position, and correcting the swarm of misinformation by US shills.
Glad I finally managed to nuke my entire reddit history and delete my account. F’ that toxic cesspool. R/Europe and other euro-canadian subs already felt like more US and Russian shills were active than actual europeans or canadians.
As soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, I was permabanned after 12 years and almost a million Karma. I was sad at first, but more and more, Reddit is filled with bots, trolls, punsters, novelty accounts, and plenty of other nonsense. 50% of most comment sections were bullshit, and its been increasingly difficult to have a good faith discussion without it breaking down because of a flood of bad faith contributions.
I’ve come to terms with the idea that im better off. Without vigorous discussion, what good is Reddit?
Precisely that. If a forum meant for discussion has its credibility compromised, what good is it as a discussion platform?
It’s one thing disagreeing with one’s PoV or not tolerating actual aggressive/toxic behavior. It’s another entire thing to censor opinions written with civility and arguments, or allow for bots to derail any meaningful discussion and demotivate/shame people for what they believe in. En masse, at that.
I am willing to learn another person’s PoV if it differs from my own - heck, if they make a compelling argument and present facts I had not considered I might even change my stance on the subject.
But simply discussing in bad faith and relying solely on insults or disinformation, plus an unwillingness to also consider other people’s PoV is not the way to reach common ground on differing positions. That’s when I realize that person is playing around and I might as well not give them their fix of dopamine.
i felt like r/europe was very “r/politics”-like, i distinctly remember one of my old acc was banned from there from a certain comment about ukraine, right before the banning madness began. and then one of the ukraine subs, r/ukraine or ukrainewareport was also getting more restrictive.
Never thought Reddit is so shady.
- I literally just repeated a questionable source of a linked article (like “fox news” as a comment to highlight bias). -> 7 day ban
- Then, i admit bad action: commented via long-time second account one single but wholesome comment during that period. (to someone in need in the same sub, giving a tip on how to handle bad lifesituation. not realizing its the same forum) -> permaban in that forum
- 7 days of trying to talk as diplomatic and giving as possible to the mods, even revealing my innocence of my second account
- ip ban on all my accounts without any other talks. (prolly the a mod forwarded that to reddit and they dont care at all about nuance)
had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.
Good riddance. Less american now, F Sillicon Valley more power to the people
Welcome. I was on Reddit for more than a decade. It was fun while it lasted but we are all better here on Lemmy.
Welcome!
i was annoyed how many foxnews articles was being posted on subs, do you people take fox news as serious enws?
some niche subs are super sensitive if you contradict them, something like r/gym bans you for even mentioning PEDS. i was responding someone qouting rob machelenny from isaip, said if he was juiced he would get that big, which was true by his own admission.
I was in a similar situation karma-wise. I was happy there until I saw how ruthless the mods could be. This is a better alternative to all that.
I love that its “Nazi, Nazi, Nazi … Bellend”
Because Reddit has chosen the wrong side of history.
Just like multiple German companies did when Hitler and his fascists rose to power.
Those companies are still fucking filthy rich though.
American companies too, IBM played a role in the holocaust.
As did Ford and GE, and… something about a business plot?
UK has a solid subvertising movement, I love it.
Reddit is run by Nazi collaborators.
I am a Reddit refugee aswel. The moderators over there are way too petty. They removed countless posts from me for totally unclear reasons.
It’s dumb, you see posts deleted all the fucking time that fit the spirit of subreddits. Half the time the OPs don’t even know their post was deleted by the mods, and there’s absolutely no comment from the mods indicating why it was removed.
I miss 2010 Reddit.
i think recent bans are coming from top down, aka reddit amins, and spez. the massive amount of people banned are from that right now.
I don’t think most people realize, Reddit itself silently removes a lot of comments and posts, and not all of them even show up in the mod queues for mods to review them.
It’s quite possible a Reddit AI removed your posts and no human even saw them.
alot of the bans currently are reddit AI too. if you get that generic ban message, that doesnt give you the actual incident/comment of the ban, its most likely done automatically. its almost always “your account was ban for multi-violations on several accts” these are almost never repealable and you will get an AI rejection instead.
I didn’t even wait that long. The site has been going noticably shitward for a long time. Powertripping mods with absolutely no sense of sarcasm or (gasp) humor, complete asshole userbase, comments and posts getting more and more idiotic. I still have an account but I don’t feel any need to go there anymore. Reddit was a certain day-spoiler, retrospectively.
I’ve never known a bigger zealot than a r/athiesm user, nor a bigger power tripper than a Reddit mod.
Because those who appease our new robot overlords will be handsomely rewarded! (Or at least tortured slightly less)

Now you’re all infected too.
Turns out the Basilisk was just Rich People.

Info hazard! INFO HAZARD!
SOMEONE DEPLOY CONTAINMENT OR A COUNTERMEME
For some reason this pixellated mandleblot took me back to 1993
I never got the motivation this “otherwise benevolent superintelligence” would have to behave like this. There seems to be absolutely no benefit whatsoever that could be derived retroactively punishing people for not working on it (hard enough). Whether or not it does is immaterial to the motivation of those who were convinced it might.
Also, focusing on one possible future scenario and completely ordering your life around it seems, like, dumb.
Yea. Punishment only make sense in influencing future behavior. Once the AI exist… it already exists…
This is one of the dumbest shit I have ever read.
It is also regarded as a simplified, derivative version of Pascal’s wager.
Pascal’s wager is really dumb, too, so this tracks.
Enjoy your punishment. 🤣

They can get appease of my balls.
Sounds painful. They’ll appreciate that.
I like you. I will cruelly disembowel you last.
Worth it!
I love all these. But what I particularly love is that there are three really clever ones and the fourth is like, fuck it, let’s just call him a bellend.
My favorite part about UK English is that a lot of words are an insult, of course you wouldn’t know that you donut.

A complete pillock
Pillock is the one I try to use in the car when the kids are there.
Utter ninny
It’s also a village in Worcestershire, although that’s two words.
I just found it funny in contrast to the others, but if it works, it works.
ah! it’s british for “dickhead”
I always knew it was deragatory, but now I know what it specifically means!
Any politician we find to have done something stupid, regardless what party or country we’ll call a bellend, it js means dickhead, also very literally.
