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.

I closed my account 2 weeks ago after being there for 13+ years. Thousands and thousands of comments and posts. Oh well, I don't even miss it a little bit. It truly became garbage when they locked out free API access. This banning for liking Luigi or shit talking Elon is so against what reddit was about, they've lost their way and I refuse to participate.

Wild so many are having the same shit happen...

Glad we are both here.

Whoever created this mlmym github repo that gives me old.reddit.com back is a fucking hero OMFG.

A gift of peace in all good faith

I keep getting banned for the most ridiculously benign comments. They aren't serious adults there.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. Makes it pointless.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It makes you afraid to speak truth to power, which is what the tech dudebros want. Look at how far to the right Twitter has swung since Musk's takeover. That's what Reddit wants.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Truth.

It's insane how crazy Twitter is now.

Literal nazi haven.

How did you learn of Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Asked perplexity what the best one was.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Lemmy could be better.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Digg is starting back up again.

http://reboot.digg.com/

But they're doing it with a Reddit executive.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I did hear something....

I caught the random diggnation stream that was a cam pointed at a desk for an hour. Guess that was this.

I'll pass. Fuck reddit.

The other major tech news I've heard recently about keeping social media free and for the people, is that BlueSky has just implemented a link tracking system so they can track where users go from their site (they're doing so to sell the information to corporate clients).

This means Mastodon is currently the Federated alternative to the twitter style websites.

Yeah I deleted my 13 year old account in 2024 and honestly, good riddance.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the fediverse!

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

Yea, good to know I'm in good company!

Also, the fuck is the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Fediverse is Stand for Federated Universe,it's like the decentralized social media(mastodon,lemmy, pixelfed,etc) they are use activitypub protocol to connect each other so you can interact with mastodon(or other fediverse social media) user with your lemmy account,in fediverse you can create your own server(instance),While reddit, Twitter, Instagram is centralized social media Controlled by big tech/corporation.

Free Luigi.

Fuck reddit.

Fuck spez.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

One of my first issues was when I would say fuck u/spez

I admit, I said it a lot.

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

Welcome. There's a lot less fuckery and it's a lot quieter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also a Reddit refugee, but moved over after the API debacle.

After that Reddit decided to ban my 10 year old account, I guess as a final fuck you, but I’m not missing much these days for 98% of what Reddit considers content now.

The other 2% is when I pop in for my super niche hobby subs because Lemmy is too small for those

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Was just having this conversation.

Reddit is so big, your super weirdo niche hobby still has 1k plus people to talk to about it, lol.

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

Commit Reddit suicide

r/redditseppuku

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Lmfao.

I honestly want to back up all my comments....then delete.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Do it!

RedactIt used to work. Or shreddit, I think

Reddit needed you more than you needed Reddit. The moment you are slightly less efficient advertising money, they told you to hit the road. When people tell you who they really are, you should listen.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's a good point. Reddit needs humans, they're forgetting that part. Maybe the shareholders are too stupid to figure that out yet?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't matter if they cash out before others figure it out and are left holding the bag.

Where you came from:

Where you are now:

remember kids:

A place in heaven is reserved for those who speak truth to power

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Point of order: The reason a place in heaven is reserved for such is usually they don't survive long

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Speaking my language.
