Does that mean spez is getting banned for being a mod on r/jailbait?
can someone explain to me the difference between corporate and government censorship, when corporations and the government are definitely fucking?
"Shithole website continues circling toilet."
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.
I'm workin on switching over. My third party work-around just croaked yesterday, so I'm here now. Where the party at?
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.
Well, exactly the same can and is happening on specific Lemmy servers too.
One of the vegan instances bans you if you downvote anything that speaks in favour of veganism. Not that I just do this out of spite, but there was this time where a thread about vegan cat food gained traction and I downvoted some comments that were really borderline. Ban within an hour.
Same on that notorious star trek instance. Go ahead and put some downvotes on Discovery related posts, it will also earn you a temporary ban.
So let's not pretend that it's only big bad reddit doing this.
I feel like there's a difference between various moderators power-tripping on their own little fiefdoms, and a site wide policy.
Conform, citizen.
Perma banned because I wished c-ncer on a pro-Israel troll. Is that an earned ban you guys think?
Hell, I said all Nazis can go die or kill themselves. Perm banned. Reason why I'm here. Fuck that place.
I got banned when I saw someone say trans kids should be hunted in schools, and I told them I wish they'd get hit with a brick.
Feels like how reddit was when I first used it 12 years ago. Bye bye reddit.
“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
Yeah, I just moved over. Its a shame but things are going to get crazy online.
I was waiting for Reddit to bend in the same way the others have. It was only a matter of time.
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.
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.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
