Given that Xitter is going down the proverbial toilet, I am surprised Reddt didn't see the risks in turning their platform into a right-wing cesspool.
This is u/spez we're talking about here c'mon.
Spaz IS a right wing cesspool. So it is to be expected
Not surprising seeing as theyve also been unjustly banning people again. Just got booted off the site today and was given zero explanation besides I "incited violence." The link to the supposed "violation" didnt work then when I asked in my appeal they wouldnt tell me anything. Im left to assume its because my politics didnt agree with the current regime.
Musk has been pressuring them to go after critics of him, and the administration, and Reddit is capitulating. Cowards.
I suspect it is because they want to buy TikTok, and they know HitlerPig will award it based on appeasement and the bribe.
It'll be funny to watch them start lifting those bans when they realize bending the knee to fascists isn't gonna save the site. Oh well. They've shown their true colors as a platform.
I've wondered if that will happen once they realize they've chased off so many core members.
I'm not sure I'd return. I like the higher volume of posts on Reddit, especially in niche subs, but i don't miss the bots, trolls, puns, novelty accounts, Russian karma farmers, etc.
I was sign up number 3 the day they added accounts. I made I think one of the 1st hundred comments ever. I'll never go back for any reason. The place is a joke, and what people keep going back for are the memories of what it was, not what it is.
I don't think i would. There would have to be mass firings and a complete restructuring of the company for me to consider that.
They have a price that's still hundreds of times above their earnings. The stock is comically overvalued. It isn't crashing and it has nothing to do with Luigi posting. Air is just coming out of an equities market that's been hyper-inflated since before COVID.
I fear that a manufactured depression is forming that will completely wipe out the remnants of the middle class (workers who own assets).
Seems to be the intent
Last week, I got a 3 day ban from Reddit. The next day it turned into a permanent ban. Reddit claimed that it was due to a comment made about a video, showing a coach pull the ponytail of one of the girls on his team. While I don't recall what my comment was, as the father of a HS girl who plays sports, it bothered me, but as a man in his 50s, who played football in the 1980s, who periodically got his ass kicked by his coach, when he screwed up, it didn't bother me enough to say anything terrible. Of course, they deleted the post, and refused to elaborate. I've been supportive of Luigi, and have heard that Reddit was coming after Luigi supporters, so I thought that could be the real reason. Who really knows?
I had a 12 year account and almost a million karma, and was permabanned after the inauguration for a comment i had made many times. I came to Lemmy and found i was part of a bloodbath.
I've seen many people with bans on 10+ year accounts. We're the people who built Reddit. Somehow we managed to make thousands of posts for all those years without bans, and suddenly all of us posted lifetime-bannable posts in the same month?
I was coming up on 4 years. I haven't brought myself to deleting the app though, as there are some good subs there. I've been here for less than 1 full day so far, so I have a lot of exploring to do.
Crazy I know the exact video you are talking about. Wild that posting on that, of all things, got you banned.
My teen daughters were both surprised, when I told them of my ban - like I'm some sort of subversive rebel they didn't know existed. They both laughed when I told them what Reddit said was the reason, and were both familiar with the video, from other sources. Life goes on. Less time on a screen can't do any harm.
I mean things could not matter potentially but I left Reddit permanently and came here cause of this.
Echoing this.
I gave up the game there after 12 years... of mostly lurking though.
I'm just trying to get permabanned for mentioning Lemmy and sharing my views on billionaires at this point
Same bro I got a three day ban yesterday.
They gave me one too, but I extended it to perma just to make sure I don't feel tempted to go back.
Same lol. I just had to ban evade and say that last patriot comment about amplifying the idiots and supressing the dissenters is not how we should run a democracy. Boom permaban. Do not question reddit moderation policy. It's worse than luigi.
As you should
Yeah, they gave me a three day ban a few days ago, so I joined here. I have no plans on going back ever. I uninstalled the reddit app. I had been on that site to some degree for more than half my life.
Wonder if anonymous will go after Reddit now
Fuck Spez, and all that, but really, this chart isn't much different from nearly every stock for the same time period.
I think that dip has more to do with Trump creating uncertainty in the market overall than any specific Reddit trend/policy.
Kinda...
For comparison, the S&P 500 felt 4% on the period, Nasdaq felt 7%. So 30% is really noteworth, Redddit is one of the stocks pulling the index down. But it's not alone, and blaming it on any random cause isn't right.

shortly after the article came out talking about how Reddit is bending the knee to Musky's hissy fit, I received two notifications from Reddit; one, a 7-Day ban for "breaking multiple rules" but not telling me what actually happened, and after sending them an appeal asking what exactly I was banned for, I received the second notification, telling me that I was permanently banned for, again, "breaking multiple rules".
as far as I'm concerned, I'm finally free.
They just told me I incited violence then kicked me out. No elaboration or anything. Now I'm here and finally free

Ooopsie, there goes your money. Not exactly a good idea to cross your community, is it?
Free Luigi.
Once upon a time I went to Reddit as a Digg refugee. Now I have come to Lemmy as a Reddit refugee.

I mean there's little point to become invested in reddit when they're going skew that far right and then censor/delete and ban everything with appeals getting ignored.
Communities are having to over moderate. I can't even say Fuck Christians or Billionaires shouldn't exist without it being hate speech or violence, but rightiods get to spam their lgbtq hate. And the less said about violent Porn subs the better.
Truely a dark time 😮💨

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.
