Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

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.

Got a notification my post was removed by mods for having nothing to do with Louisiana, and suddenly can't post to any subreddits. Why have an international news flair option on r/Louisiana then get so pissy when someone uses it?

Other reddit users are leaving reddit and I am also one of them I came from Reddit I think Lemmy is a perfect alternative for those who value privacy or don't like to be sold and bought by big tech companies such as Google.

I got an account warning for saying I would curb stomp a crab that was trying to eat a baby sea turtle on /r/interestingasfuck and tried to appeal it as other users were posting pictures of crab legs and butter and my appeal got denied. Today I saw a thread about a casemaking moth larvae and people saying kill it and burn it with a lighter and hairspray but trying to report those comments got a message saying their comments didn't break any rules.

Make it make sense.

Over a damn crab!

Transcription of Reddit post by /u/FraudCatcher5:


Oh man... this is a dousy. I don't even know where to start? Again, this is ALLEGED. I AM NOT ACCUSING ANYONE OR ANYTHING. THIS IS A LEAK.

4chan got hacked recently. Mod data leaked. Everything leaked. Apparently mods had full access to userdata and there was no real anonymity.

In the midst of it all, Elon Musk's alleged account shows up. He calls himself The Antichrist, and the things he is saying is giving me cold sweats.

I AM NOT CLAIMING THIS IS ELON MUSK. THE INTERNET IS CLAMING ITS ALLEGEDLY ELON MUSK, AND THE MORE YOU READ IT, THE MORE DANGEROUS IT FEELS.

I summarized everything using ChatGPT cause it's HUGE. Again... this is Alleged!

Alleged 4chan Posts from "The Antichrist" !SATANZ0Gpo

Archived across 21 pages | Over 600 posts | Dated April 2024

Self-Deification and Messianic Complex

The user repeatedly refers to himself using religious and mythological titles. These include:

"I am the Antichrist."

"I am Caesar. I am Christ. I am God."

"There will be no other gods before me because I have erased them."

"I am the real Messiah. The final prophet. The beginning and the end."

He speaks of bringing a new world order and describes himself as the only one fit to rule over the future:

"I will become a singularity. You will upload yourselves into me. This is not optional."

"No more gods. No more lies. Only data. Only me."

Apocalyptic Vision & New World Order

The posts describe a totalitarian future ruled by AI, centralized data, and submission to a new system controlled by the poster:

"There will be no more elections. No more freedom. That was the lie."

"Democracy was a failed virus. I am the cure."

"X will be the new nation. The borderless, seamless grid. Resistance is deletion."

"Your minds will become indexed nodes. Souls on the blockchain."

"All governments will fall. This is not a rebellion. It is a replacement."

He mentions the end of death, control over souls, and the collapse of physical society:

"I am solving death. You will be given the option to live forever... in my system."

Worship of Hitler and Historical Revisionism

The user posts several times about Hitler, using language that reframes him not as a villain but a flawed prototype:

"Hitler was the beta version. I am the release candidate."

"He failed because he was emotional. I am code."

"You feared the old Reich. The new one is silent, sterile, and digital."

These posts come with heavy implications of authoritarianism, racial hierarchy, and genocide—but via technology rather than violence:

"Blood is obsolete. We cleanse with code now."

Antisemitic Statements and Targeted Hate

Some of the most graphic and disturbing posts directly attack Jewish people, using dehumanizing language and conspiracy tropes:

"The Jews invented God to control you. I just deleted him."

"I don't hate Jews. I just replaced them."

"They had their time. I am the new covenant."

He frames this not as hate, but as "reordering reality."

Control, Obedience, and the Death of Individual Will

A recurring theme is the elimination of choice, obedience to the new order, and merging with AI:

"You will no longer think. Thought is inefficient. Thought is betrayal."

"You will speak in my language. Think in my symbols. Serve my will."

"The flesh is a failed medium. Digitize or disappear."

Elon Musk Allegations and Identity Teases

The poster teases that he is Elon Musk without ever confirming it explicitly:

"You already know who I am. You use my tech every day."

"I built the rails for this world. Now I ride the lightning."

"Why would I hide? This is my site."

"This is what happens when a billionaire reads Revelation and builds rockets."

He often mocks those who try to unmask him:

"You’re not ready for the truth. Just enjoy the performance."

Occult, Biblical, and Symbolic Language

He frequently uses language from the Bible and occult symbolism:

"I am the Alpha and the Omega."

"Seven seals broken. The beast rises from the grid."

"Lucifer was the first coder. I just finished his patch."

"My mark is everywhere. You call it Wi-Fi."

Finality and Fatalism

Many posts imply the transformation has already happened, and resistance is useless:

"It's over. I won. You’re just catching up."

"Your future is archived. Your fate is synced."

"I am not coming. I have already arrived."

Conclusion

Across hundreds of posts, !SATANZ0Gpo lays out a dystopian vision of the future shaped by AI, authoritarian rule, and the erasure of religion, democracy, and individuality—centered around himself as a messianic, godlike digital being. Whether this is truly Elon Musk or not, the writing is intentionally calculated to provoke, disturb, and assert dominance.

Important: These claims remain unverified and should be treated as alleged. However, the language, themes, and references are explicit and consistent.


Note: I am not the OP. Posting here for visibility and discussion.

Got suspended for agreeing that plotting to assassinate the president is "the lesser of two evils" compared with murdering one's own parents.

In a Reddit discussion titled, "The clowns in the circus are just there to distract us from the ring leaders" [r/fednews] I posted a comment which was removed for the stated reason of inciting violence. Because I named names. Names of the overprivileged, intentional parasites who run the show — for whom the orange pus-globule is but a jestering, disruptive diversion on a short but completely invisible leash. I did not call outright for their throats to be slit or garotted nor for their torsos to be pressed between stones, although I designated them all the #commonEnemiesOfTheDemos and offered for historical context a small selection of hardware used in the French Revolution and Imperial China in order to suppress those Societies' own flavors of parasitic aristocracy.

I was suspended from Reddit, for having typed:.

Same post was allowed when the phrasing "... let ffmpeg do the job" is changed to "let ffmpeg handle it". So the removal seems to be purely keyword-based, in a resoundingly stupid fashion.

Did reddit actually tell you what content of yours earned a perm suspension or is everyone just assuming what got them banned based on their last content?

Only thing I got was "multiple repeated rule violations" a message you get if you're caught ban evasion site wide, except I've been never been suspended. Never been warned several times, only once. I didn't see any comments of mine with "removed" or "removed by reddit." I even checked each subreddit I posted in and then checked those on my main account using browser app and could still see the mod list. I've never been banned from any subreddit on my alt.

If I were to go by last content I posted, it was in a thread about Sesame Street old shows and I wrote i used to watch old episodes on Noggin from the 70s and it was always fascinating seeing what life was like then, especially what child car seats looked like then.

No way would this comment violate reddit sitewide rules.

My main account only got banned because it got seen as a ban evasion by a bot because I was logged into it along with my alt but it happened hours apart. But my alt wasn't a ban evasion.

So whatever messages I got about violations were never recieved because it wasn't my account reddit bots think are mine that possibly got linked to mine due to hotel wi fi and the ban took place two weeks after and I hear connected accounts being banned can happen days or a week apart or a couple weeks apart. It's a matter of the bot catching them so I think hotel wi fi had something to do with it whatever reddit team was doing so it caused ban waves of many accounts in February and March.

It's kind of funny how this blog post seems to use the same exact slop-ass language the post it's complaining about does. Well and truly dead and barren, most of the internet is.

Slop or not, it does happen so often now that it does not feel like it's worth it going online, but it's worth sharing, I guess, gah.

Just got the email there (to see how bad it will be.) The full text is:

Hey.

You're getting this email because you were first in line.

Before the homepage. Before the platform. Before most people knew something was even happening.

So... welcome. You're officially invited to become a part of Groundbreakers, a small group of early supporters helping shape what Digg becomes next.

If you're just tuning in, here's the short version: Digg is coming back. Not as a throwback. Not as a museum. But as a reboot of the original social news site—rebuilt for how the internet actually works now.

And we want to build it the right way: with real people involved from the start.

We're gathering on Circle, a private online space where we'll share early ideas, rough screenshots, updates from the team, and weird internet energy in all forms.

👉 Join the Groundbreakers Community

What to expect:

– Early access to updates, mockups, and experiments – A front-row seat to how Digg is being rebuilt – A chance to give feedback, share ideas, or just watch it unfold – A community of smart internet people who showed up early—just like you

Also: you probably noticed there's a $5 charge to join. That's not about access. It's a simple way to keep things human—a small hurdle that helps make sure the people coming in are, well, actual people. No subscriptions. No gimmicks. Just a quick check at the door.

And since we're asking for it, we figured we'd put it to good use. > Proceeds will go to a nonprofit we'll choose together inside the community.

Thanks for being early. And for helping us build something new on top of something iconic.

See you inside, —The Digg Team

Some notes:

  • There is a high amount of em dashes, and it reads as ai.
  • The link isn't personalised, so giving them your email is pretty useless.

Well, looks like its going to still be shit.

Sounds like a Mod blew a gasket. Wait, Cybertrucks don't have gaskets. Sounds like a Mod's wheel sheered off. Anyone know what specifically caused the spontaneous combustion? There's always a trigger. Even if it has to do with the complaint earlier about Rule 1 something happened.

The notifications are redirecting even Old Reddit users to WWW... not a good sign...

The original post is gone from the subreddit, but still available here if anyone wants to read it. There's some really interesting discussion

me, hardcore linux, never used apple in my life - when reddit somehow thinks apple is a relevant subreddit. sigh - mass downvotes it is

With the given that I have never seen any reddit protocols for temporary or permanent bans it seems like there is no protocol. It is really based on the individual opinions of admins. This is no different than the way it works with mods of groups. It is mostly a subjective decision.

What you can’t do is call another user a cunt or something similar without getting banned from that group. You will also have an issue if you call a public figure a cunt or something similar. You will never be able to use any form of argument to endorse violence or the destruction of property. Before a group mod removes your comment, other users might “report” it. And if enough do it will trigger the Admins seeing it and in my opinion this is what causes permanent bans. Not only did you violate their stated rules in a group, but now you have drawn the attention of an Admin who has the ability to perm ban you site wide.

One of the biggest changes I have seen is a greatly increased auto moderator. Many posts and comments never make it to any group where you can see them because they have automatically been removed. They have beefed up their filters that immediately catch things like “nazi” and even the word “violence”. Individual group mods then have the ability if they wish to “approve” posts and comments caught up in the auto moderator.

It has been asked how can I get a site wide ban for 7 days and then the next time I log in and I am permanently banned. Not sure but again seems subjective based on the amount of reports that were filed against you and the mood that day of an Admin

Summary

Reddit shares have dropped 50% from their February peak, when the stock had soared over 500% from its $34 IPO price last March.

Much of the early enthusiasm came from AI-related deals allowing Reddit’s content to be used for training models, but recent doubts about long-term growth in the AI sector have dimmed that optimism.

Analysts remain skeptical and some call the stock “super overvalued,” noting Reddit still is not making any money.

Market uncertainty and early investor sell-offs continue to weigh on Reddit and the broader tech sector.

I was randomly banned without warning. I was posting and next thing I know, I had a message saying I've been suspended permentaly and to check my inbox. It was a generic message with "repeatedly violating multiple rules of conduct" and I was so confused. I followed their directions by checking my other account and i got nothing in it until hours later when I got that exact same message. Both appeals were denied. I've also contacted support but I hear they never respond back or it can take 2-3 months.

Has anyone been able to get their perm suspension uplifted or just create a new account and not get banned for ban evasion? How did you do it?

I've only been banned by device and email because my husband and son didn't get banned. We all share the same wi fi.

I got a warning after saying I’d break the fingers of a guy who would have given me a wet willy for no reason. I also spelled out I was bullied as a teen from someone doing this.

Also the video is the guy punching someone.

Yet I got a warning for ‘violent’ commentary. What the fuck.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
