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.

Deleted my Reddit account after more than a decade today.

I love the simple brilliance of "Elon Musk is a bellend", nothing more really needs to be said.

It's become pretty clear that Reddit has chosen to slide into corpo-fascism. Don't be surprised when signs of dissent are squashed, when rebellious subreddits are systematically suppressed until they're removed entirely, when the accounts of those who resist are closed and IP banned. Abandon all hope of free expression there, they've chosen their side and aren't going to entertain the opposition any longer.

After 12 years, and nearly a million karma, i was permabanned right after HitlerPig was inaugurated, for repeating an opinion that i have stated many times. Nobody ever said a word until HitlerPig was in office, then suddenly I was permabanned. I came over to Lemmy, only to find i wasn't alone.

I suspect the reason is because Ohanion wamts to buy TikTok, and he knows that HitlerPig will be making the decision personally, based on who smooches his ass, follows his orders, and pays the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he abandons Reddit's doctrine of Free Speech.

Reddit is a Nazi web site.

You know how the Germans see it. " If there are 4 people at the table and one of them is a nazi, then there are 4 Nazis at the table"

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I see MAGA the same way.

Elon The Musky Husky needs a bath.

[โ€“] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Yup. Also got my account suspension due to "suspicious activity" on "upvoting and engaging with discriminatory and violent content".

Meaning I upvoted posts condemning US's current position, and correcting the swarm of misinformation by US shills.

Glad I finally managed to nuke my entire reddit history and delete my account. F' that toxic cesspool. R/Europe and other euro-canadian subs already felt like more US and Russian shills were active than actual europeans or canadians.

As soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, I was permabanned after 12 years and almost a million Karma. I was sad at first, but more and more, Reddit is filled with bots, trolls, punsters, novelty accounts, and plenty of other nonsense. 50% of most comment sections were bullshit, and its been increasingly difficult to have a good faith discussion without it breaking down because of a flood of bad faith contributions.

I've come to terms with the idea that im better off. Without vigorous discussion, what good is Reddit?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Precisely that. If a forum meant for discussion has its credibility compromised, what good is it as a discussion platform?

It's one thing disagreeing with one's PoV or not tolerating actual aggressive/toxic behavior. It's another entire thing to censor opinions written with civility and arguments, or allow for bots to derail any meaningful discussion and demotivate/shame people for what they believe in. En masse, at that.

I am willing to learn another person's PoV if it differs from my own - heck, if they make a compelling argument and present facts I had not considered I might even change my stance on the subject.

But simply discussing in bad faith and relying solely on insults or disinformation, plus an unwillingness to also consider other people's PoV is not the way to reach common ground on differing positions. That's when I realize that person is playing around and I might as well not give them their fix of dopamine.

i felt like r/europe was very "r/politics"-like, i distinctly remember one of my old acc was banned from there from a certain comment about ukraine, right before the banning madness began. and then one of the ukraine subs, r/ukraine or ukrainewareport was also getting more restrictive.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Because Spez is Elon Musk's little bitch.

Never thought Reddit is so shady.

  • I literally just repeated a questionable source of a linked article (like "fox news" as a comment to highlight bias). -> 7 day ban
  • Then, i admit bad action: commented via long-time second account one single but wholesome comment during that period. (to someone in need in the same sub, giving a tip on how to handle bad lifesituation. not realizing its the same forum) -> permaban in that forum
  • 7 days of trying to talk as diplomatic and giving as possible to the mods, even revealing my innocence of my second account
    • ip ban on all my accounts without any other talks. (prolly the a mod forwarded that to reddit and they dont care at all about nuance)

had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.

Good riddance. Less american now, F Sillicon Valley more power to the people

Welcome. I was on Reddit for more than a decade. It was fun while it lasted but we are all better here on Lemmy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

i was annoyed how many foxnews articles was being posted on subs, do you people take fox news as serious enws?

some niche subs are super sensitive if you contradict them, something like r/gym bans you for even mentioning PEDS. i was responding someone qouting rob machelenny from isaip, said if he was juiced he would get that big, which was true by his own admission.

I was in a similar situation karma-wise. I was happy there until I saw how ruthless the mods could be. This is a better alternative to all that.
