Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn't really on topic, but it's happening anyways! I'm hungry.

Citizen, you have been found guilty of wrong think!

This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.

“reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote calls for a violent revolution against the billionaire class and the fascist neo feudalist militarized police state enforced wage slavery and rent till death economics they have created to benefit their endless growth driven profits while ignoring upvotes of content that praise violence against leftists, women and other marginalized leftist aligning groups and ideologies”

There, FTFY

Does that mean spez is getting banned for being a mod on r/jailbait?

deleted by creator

Don't forget to leave bad review of reddit app and encourage others to move to lemmy in the review.

15 years on reddit. Multiple accounts banned for slamming Nazis. So I'm here slamming Nazis. Long live Lemmy.

It's amazing how they tolerated people preaching for violence against women and immigrants for over a decade, but all of sudden their passion for non-violence is so extreme after a rich white guy gets killed.

Fuck Reddit

I've been a Redditor for 13 years. I read the Admin explanation and the Mods reactions and immediately downloaded Lemmy. I'm still gonna lurk just to watch the chaos but fuck that noise with someone else's dick thank you very much.

Hey to everyone moving in from reddit. Don't forget that lemmy can't fill the void you're trying to fill without content.

Thanks to the federated nature of lemmy, we have infrastructure, we just need more creators on it.

I once got banned for "vote brigading" on Reddit because I upvoted a crosspost that was deleted later, so this comes as no surprise. They have been monitoring upvotes and downvotes since forever.

Friendly reminder that almost all news media outlets and social media platforms are owned by a handful of extremely wealthy individuals and they are in full control of the algorithm that feeds you content, so you'll likely never see anything that is critical of them or advocates for them to have less power or influence than they do.

This is the 2025 version of "The revolution won't be televised".

Warms my heart to see all the ‘new account’ badges in this thread.

reddit died when it became a publicly traded company. now it is just another propaganda tool

Thank God I'm not on reddit anymore.

Anddddd this is how and why I found lemmy.

🙋🏻‍♂️ +1 on having received a warning. I’m a simple man. I see Luigi, I upvote.

Day 1 on lemmy so am finding my way around still :)

Reddit going full mask-off 1984 huh? Next thing it’ll be illegal to downvote things Reddit likes to push… Or why even bother with the votes anyway, Reddit will just show you only the things that it deems good for you, like the benevolent Big Brother.

Fuck that place.

Also: welcome to all our new members! “We’re Not Perfect, But At Least We’re Not Reddit!” (TM)

Reminds me of back in 2013 when Reddit admins accidentally revealed that Eglin Air Force Base, a location often cited as the source of government social-media propaganda/astroturfing programs, was the most Reddit addicted city in the world.

Fuck reddit.

I'm loving this. I had almost 15 years without so much as a warning and then suddenly several 3 day bans, a 7 day ban and a perma ban. They don't want people commenting negatively towards fascism.

Perma banned because I wished c-ncer on a pro-Israel troll. Is that an earned ban you guys think?

At this point being banned might be a good thing to drive home the point that also my favorite of the old corporate internet platforms should be avoided. I'm doing quite okay on staying away from Meta and have long deleted my Twitter account. I can't get myself do drop Reddit somehow. Seems like they're only helping me get off my addiction

I actually came here today because of this! So far so happy with Lemmy

Finally made the jump. Reddit is a right-wing cesspool of censorship.

Exactly the same. I got critical of the right and all of a sudden banned for violence ? After 12 years ? And me NEVER calling for harm to anything.

But I got hyper critical of the right and that's what did it.

Reddit is and has failed.

Lol, how is it even possible to upvote banned content? I mean, is it not deleted if banned?

Grateful to be here and help this place grow. I’m so over Reddit.

Yeah I got signaled on reddit for saying something about Trump, Elon and Vance regarding to Ukraine. Nothing that hasn't been said, but I said they can fuck off and stop propping Russian imperialism and kidnapping children while commiting warcrimes. Guess Reddit is against that as they removed my comment and gave me a warning.

10 years on reddit, surprised about my comments never getting the same traction as identical comments. 3 days ban for insinuating a billionaire performing a Nazi salute may indeed be a Nazi, second ban for insinuating violent action sometimes needs to be taken in defense of democracy. Permaban for (politely and positively) judging the looks of someone that asked to be judged through a photography, and clearly needed lo lift up their self-esteem.

I rage quit reddit and delete my account that I opened long ago with the Google account I have recently cancelled.

I decide that maybe it deserves a second chance, so I create a new account with the email I account I host myself in my own server with my own domain.

The exact same comments I posted, with the exact same content and intention now get thousands of upvotes (so clearly, I had been shadowbanned for years)

Fuck them. Hello community, looking forward to have constructive interactions here.

At this point, getting banned at reddit is a badge of honor.

Someone posted this and that’s honestly scary. I hope more people abandon this sinking ship of Reddit.

I register on reddit 17 years ago. Before the great migration from digg. I remember /r/programming being the first sub to reach 100k subscribers.

I got banned for saying in the /r/europe sub that russia banning youtube in russia was a good thing because then we in the west would get less russian propaganda. Got banned for a couple days. Left and never looked back.

/r/programming is dead already since around a decade. All the good discussions moved to hackernews and lobsters.

EDIT: never forget that spez admitted to silently edit user comments that criticized him

I first saw this news over on Reddit, immediately searched for an alternative. Got home from work and now here I am
