News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

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

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

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.

Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.

Yup, they banned me for 7 days because saying Luigi didn't deserve to go to jail for what he did is apparently 'encouraging violence'. I appealed and it was lifted, but not before I got another message identical to yours. In my 14 years of reddit I have never had more than a single account, so I appealed that too. I'm not banned anymore but I got a message saying the second appeal was denied and the ban would stay in place. I think reddit is just falling over itself in its eagerness to frog-march to ~~Der Fuhrer~~ spez's new fashy bullshit.

Reddit has turned into a complete shithole the past two years. The sooner it gets taken out back and bludgeoned to death, the better.

Personally, I don’t trust anyone who hasn’t been banned at least once from that place.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I went 13 years without being banned, even though I spent most of my time on there debating politics and religion which frequently got heated and had never even been temp-banned from a subreddit. Now I've been banned 4 times in the last year for total bullshit, 2 of which happened yesterday, so things have definitely gone downhill.

I wonder what would happen if we all took to their other socials to speak our minds. If we flooded their posts and app reviews with negative feedback, maybe something would be done about it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

this is so reminiscent if the digg Exodus around the aacs key. bans pushed us to reddit, and at a higher rate than those being banned. Lemmy mau is up over 10%. idk if the bleeding can be stopped.

uninvolved users will stay with it. digg had 2 or 3 major redesigns before I stopped hearing about it completely. it became little more than yahoo! news.

I'm sure that is the fate of reddit now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I left Digg during that exodus and went to Reddit, and now here I am. Enshittification happens everywhere that capitalism finds an opportunity to put its dick in someone's ass, it'll probably happen here too if it gets popular.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I mean y'all should've left a long time ago but better late than never ig

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it's like my permanent ban, they lift it once they need to pump up their subscriber numbers. 😂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

then they reban people after thier increased number show healthy activity to thier investors, i just delete my accounts if they recieved to many sub bans, or a sitewide ban.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When the account is banned is still possible to edit or delete own comments or posts?

Consider running that script that goes over each post or comment and replace it with random words, just to poison their ai training

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

When I tried that script in 2023 it didn't work. Just go back and delete your best. If you can. Good luck.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Considering deleting my account as a statement but I’m kind of attached to the history which is why it’s kind of scary touching it at all at this point. All I’m using it for now is for a few crafting subreddits and some clothing based subreddits that don’t have equivalents on Lemmy yet. One I might be able to create myself. But we’re talking 5-10 of my most frequent hangouts. That seems like a bit much.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I had a 15 yr old account with thousands of comments. After a 3 day ban for a dumb joke about Boeing Starliner (that became partially true BTW) I deleted my top comments and closed my account. It's better not constantly doing scrolling, but I haven't left social media completely obviously.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

That's the reason I haven't deleted my reddit aswell, I have some niche subreddits that mean the world to me and made me expand my hobby. I am however going to use lemmy more and who knows, reddit might become worse and we fully go to lemmy anyway!

I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you've never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.

for anyone that's never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never

and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don't like so elongated muskrats don't get thier feewings hurt

F in chat for all the "k***hts" of the world.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ok, I'm having a brain fart here, but I can't imagine anything but 'knights' for 'k***hts'. :P

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Knights is right, the point is what was excluded

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh. Right. Heh.

I learned about it as the buttbuttination problem before I new it had a proper name, heh.

Ngl, that's kinda hilarious (and sad at the same time)
