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.
Might have been your post that brought me to Lemmy, too. Saw lots of folks saying they got warnings for Luigi/other content I am interested in, and decided I am out, too.
Will spend a couple weeks encouraging people in some of my niche communities, and then no more reddit.
People saw this coming from miles away since the rumors came out of reddit going for an IPO.
Question is why people keep getting outraged?
We were pissed then and we're pissed now. The only difference is there's a real alternative. Lemmy is a lot more polished these days.
/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.
sad how conspiracy sub got co-opted by russian trolls and right wingers, i was there before trump took office the 1st time, and it was a completely different sub.
Its truly nuts over there. I have now had 5 different accounts perma banned and im tired of evading their fingerprinting just to bypass each pan for similar comments. Like nothing that the general public would find controversial even remotely.
It's crazy to think how hard people work to evade the system that is designed to get you to leave.
Like, it speaks to the addictive nature of social media. How many hours? How much research? How many different angles of attack? All to... what? Shout "Donald Trump is a bad president" into the void amid a sea of bots and /r/HailCorporate influencer accounts? (Incidentally, RIP HailCorporate).
Redditor since 2010 here. I didn't try that hard. I got banned from politics, thought it was a one off. Then got a post removed for criticizing Reddit's moderation policy. So now I'm done for real.
I tried jumping off after the API removal but Lemmy wasn't as populated back then, and there was no immediate effect to me. More garbage, but I muted several subreddits a day and carried on. Now there are real alternatives.
politics was one of the first subs i got banned in a old acct, now deleted. and then one from aww, when i responded why people though Michelle obama was called a certain way, wtf you asked for the answer,
Make advertisers into bad words "hellofresh the rich" " squarespace the ceos"
I think you mean "Nintendo the CEOs"
Mark Zuckerberg needs to be facebooked
I just tried this out after wiping all my comments, let’s see if I get a ban
This is, excuse me, fucking brilliant
Time to leave reddit altogether
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.
Welcome!
Here are cute !animalswithjobs@lemmy.world to improve your mood before you wander thought the lemmyverse.
I’m so happy to move on from that shithole. It’s a massive psyop at this point.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
