So, I've now had a 9 year account and a 13 year account both permabanned.

They've linked them as the same user and banned me for a benign post on r/pics.

I lost all faith in reddit when they changed the api then Relay for reddit stopped working.

Base model app is shit.

Comments constantly erase and empty endpoint error.

Can't even say 'I like that player two energy on super Mario bros', because that's 'violent'.

I've posted tens of thousands of comments and only recently had issues.

Got banned for saying 'Elon simps in our midst' referring to mods....who proved my point.

And finally now, they are paywalling shit soon.

Adios.

Anyway, I left digg in the great exodus for reddit, now this looks like my new home.

Rant over lol.

Fuck reddit and fuck spez

[-] Pirata@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Welcome, there hasn't been a better time than now in a while.

Elom Musk has been pressuring Reddit's CEO to force mods to accept links to hia fascist platform.

So I can only see Reddit become worse as the years go on.

Yep it's already nosedived so much it's way past the point of no return.

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Welcome! I've been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.

Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.

[-] trotfox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

It definitely does.

I even have the old.reddit res clone on pc.

[-] guest@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Just deleted my account as well.

[-] Andonyx@lemmy.world 139 points 3 days ago

I lost about seven 12-year-old accounts all for telling off one piece of shit incel, quoting his slur so he couldn't edit, and reporting him. Mods banned me from a major subreddit for "using a slur" and didn't listen to my appeal that I was the one fighting the incel and just quoted him so he couldn't change his comment. Mods acted like pubescent morons and called me names for politely asking for a review of the incident, I changed account to keep talking to people I knew there, got perma-banned for ban-evasion, they sniffed out my other accounts then and banned those too, then I made new accounts but got permanently shadowbanned for criticizing conservatives and reddit mods, made new accounts, those accounts also are now shadowbanned for who-knows-why.

But whatever their excuses are, the reality is clear. They don't want human users, this is why "shadowbans" are a thing, they want humans to feel like they're interacting, but in reality they want a billion bots talking to each other and simulating narratives and conversations so they can twist a few dials and change public opinion on whatever they want.

They're already doing it, it works. A large percentage of users there are already very convincing AI's.

They aren't hiding this, they announced that they would be letting AI's "use" reddit to train and learn. They never specified to what end or how many.

Welcome! I left when Reddit is Fun was shut down, and I feel so much safer, as a woman, on Lemmy.

Welcome.

I've been here since November. Loving it.

Your comments actually get responses on this platform. Whereas 90% of your Reddit comments will never be seen, much less interacted with.

The downfall of Reddit is well underway.

I closed my account 2 weeks ago after being there for 13+ years. Thousands and thousands of comments and posts. Oh well, I don't even miss it a little bit. It truly became garbage when they locked out free API access. This banning for liking Luigi or shit talking Elon is so against what reddit was about, they've lost their way and I refuse to participate.

They're paywalling Reddit?

[-] comfortablydumb@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

I think they're paywalling some nsfw subreddits.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Great idea, so many sites flourish when they limit access to NSFW stuff

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Jesus, it's gotten even worse since I left. Fuck Reddit.

If they ban your account do they delete your posts ?

[-] arun@ani.social 3 points 1 day ago

They don't.

How do I know? I got banned for arguing with a pedo apologist and telling him to go fuck himself. He replied to a comment and then blocked me so that it would seem like I was droppping off of the convo. I edited my last reply to call him out, and bam. Reddit perma-bans me for 'continuing to harass a user who had already blocked you'.

The only way to get rid of your posts and comments so that reddit doesn't benefit from them is to delete your account.

With the ban in place can you choose to delete your account ?

[-] arun@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

Yup. The ban just prohibits you from engaging with communities. Like, you can't post, comment, or upvote. You still have access to your account and feed. So, you can choose to delete it. And I think you should be able to delete individual posts/comments too, though I didn't try that myself since I decided to just nuke my account.

[-] Daggity@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

It honestly feels like the transition from Digg to Reddit way back when. If you're on iPhone, I am using Voyager and have been happy with it.

[-] 5in1k@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Got banned for saying a member of the Taliban should be killed and not on a merry go round.

[-] 8000gnat@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago

welcome! it is better here

[-] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

I left reddit a few months ago. I wish I never gave reddit a minute of my time.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

I started getting exhausted by all the political posts, I cringed every time I saw them

[-] vapeloki@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago

Watch Reddit Die

Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.
