It's horrifying especially to think how Reddit never did anything about the fucked up things incels would say they wanted to do to underage girls and women, or the literally jailbait, racist, insanity they'd share. Basically that stuff was always okay, but if you want to defend yourself against your oppressor? Banned for upvoting despite you didn't even think the comment was "bannable".

Haha aaaaand that’s how I got here

Reddit sets the threshold for violent content really low. At one point someone asked if a prisoner who is medically revived from the dead has served their life sentence, I answered that you have to be irrevocably dead, and admins said that promoted or glorified violence. I made no mention of violence whatsoever, nothing I said encouraged violence in any way, and somehow even on appeal they didn’t realize how ridiculous that was.

Reddit being the go to place for federal workers to explain what is happening on the fednews sub given reddit shadow banning new accounts and anti VPN stance is rather ironic with federal workers hiding their names and using stuff like signal out of fear of what the administration might do to them.

I got that warning yesterday and it finally pushed me to make a Lemmy account.

I hope lemmy servers are ready for another population boom.

reddit permabans you for vague interpretations of things they consider "threatening"

its already a thought crime zone.

Yeah that was my last straw with reddit

Welp, just moved into Lenny, hello yall

And that was the final push to get me to make an account over here. Fucking hell

It warms my heart seeimg all these 👶 emojis! Welcome all new lemmyheads!

Does saying "The only good fascist are very dead fascist" counts? What if I add that USA is a fascist country now? Will saying Donald is a pedophile still counts (I got banned for it already lol)? What about saying my favorite sport is nazi punching? And if I add that there's no such thing as "roman salute"?

Is Reddit about to drop a new t-shirt line "Protect fascist's feeling" or something?

I just created a Lemmy account because of this stupid policy. Republicans/Conservatives can spew all manner of hate without consequence and we upvote "Elbows Up" (a hockey term BTW) and we get banned? Screw that.

How about make a flag with 'is banned' that indicates it is banned, and then checking whether 'is banned' exists before allowing a post to be upvoted. You can use this for free Reddit, its a gift.

John Spartan, you are fined one credit for violating the upvote morality statute.

Conform, citizen.

Thats some goddamn thought police shit.

Also tells you how goddamn awful the powers that be are, that the only way they can stop criticism of their badness is to ban anyone that even gives the lowest effort agreement with the criticism.

And that is why I'm here now. Hello fellow travellers!

"Shithole website continues circling toilet."

Reddit is turning into an American-dominated oligarchy. That's why I moved to Lemmy. Hi everyone!

My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn't see this earier.

Anyways I think this is a dangerous chilling effect and reddit has a terrible track record for not using this as intended, so I can only expect Reddit Admins to use this beyond warning, I expect bans and this used in warrants/NSLs quickly.

Stop using reddit, stop going to reddit. And bring everyone you can to Lemmy. I want to be able to cut out my city subreddits like /r/Denver like a clean shit.

Lemmy won’t.

So, stop upvoting those luigi memes. How sad

And now I'm here!

Reddit says the vast majority of users will not be affected Is that because the vast majority of users are bots? 🤔

Feels like how reddit was when I first used it 12 years ago. Bye bye reddit.

I remember Reddit. I used to like it there.

I'm glad that I don't use Reddit and have no intention on doing so. I remember there was a very talented artist who was wrongfully accused of using AI and banned on the art subreddit. That artist got banned even though receipts were shown to the mods proving the art was not AI, and I guess with this policy, I'd be at risk of being banned from Reddit altogether because I for sure would've upvoted the art if I did have a Reddit account, it was amazing.

I barely used Reddit - good riddance, this is what spurred me to sign up here. The right wing infestation of social media is nasty.

It's so awesome seeing all these new people here bailing from reddit. Welcome!
