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.

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.

New here as well but I also gave you your 666th upvote. So there’s something.

They're paywalling Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think they're paywalling some nsfw subreddits.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Just deleted my account as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If they ban your account do they delete your posts ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days 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.

Fuck reddit and fuck spez

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I got tired of how mean the comments became...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Eternal September

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

Yea, definitely picked up some of that Twitter vibe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

That's because reddit just repost mostly Twitter posts out of context too

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

It definitely does.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

resistance is futile

welcome!
