Reddit died June 2023
I don't know why people are still playing with the corpse
I agree and haven't returned but lemmy hasn't hit critical mass yet.... Like I don't recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.
This is often overlooked. The conversations are great on the niche or smaller communities available on reddit and the experience is great. But for the most part, frontpage and every other sub has been taken over by repost bots or repeated jokes or politics.
I've never considered that a limitation.
You only need one other person in addition to yourself, for a good discussion.
If anything, here I'm finding I actually get replies, because my comment didn't drown among a hundred others.
Just goes to show how easy it is to get these people upset.
Just call them out
Call them often
Call them out every day
Never stop calling them out ..... you'll know they're listening when someone either tells you or forces you to stop.
Nazis and authoritarians every single one of them.
Is this the "free speech" everyone in 'Murica is talking 'bout?
Musk bought twitter because he wanted free speech...
Ironic huh
Nah, he wanted to modify what was being said. He blocked and oppressed views he didn't like. It was never free speech. It was always oppression.
That's more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
I've been here for about a month, switching bettween this and Reddit, while still mostly using Reddit. This made me leave Reddit completely. This and getting banned for 3 days for upvoting a comment was the final straw.
I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying "Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell" - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.
Hmm, sounds like your freedom of speech was suppressed, at least according to the standard Elon espouses. I wonder why he now feels so strongly about doing the opposite thing from what he wanted before. 🤔
I look at Reddit like I look at Facebook. Both are trash and have outlived their use. If you have a profile on either one, delete it or at least delete the app.
Reddit has been a an archive of some of the greatest collective minds of humanity. Besides the general algorithm up voting bots hogwash, there have been some really good subreddits with excellent information from learned professionals on topics. it I wish it was preserved rather than deleted. The AskHistorians is one of my favourite professional vetted and clean subreddits, lots of academic discussions there.
But all things have a Golden Era, and then it's enshittified and fades away. As Lemmy will be one day too.
Shadow banned for making a very popular post about how to make DIY Luigi Mangione prayer candles using dollar tree candles, printer and a glue stick on witches vs patriarchy
That...should be intolerable for redditors, you'd think this would finally make them leave.
I tested just writing "Luigi" and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what's ok to say.
Personally I couldn‘t care less about moderator outrage. Just read the room already and leave. No amount of kicking and screaming will take the platform off the hands of technofascists. You‘re clearly not valued there so why would they care if you cry about their decisions? Just grow a spine already.
I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.
After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.
I was banned for saying traitors to our nation should be publicly executed. Which is our actual law. So that’s confusing
Reddit is becoming such a shit hole anyway, the site barely functions on mobile browser now, half the time it has API errors or fails to load.
Ah the "free speech absolutist" strikes again.
Add "brown nosing spinless wimp" to the list of acceptable descriptors of Spez
Moderators are outraged but will forget that in a few days and won't leave reddit anyway.
"Free speech absolutist" 🤣🤣🤣
Why is anyone on Reddit??
Takes time to quit an abusive relationship.
I’ve been seeing the steady increase in posts and complaints about Reddit banning folks for political speech for the last couple of months and I finally have had enough so here I am. Been on there for 14 years… Byeeeee.
i feel like musk is going to demand reddit get rid of old reddit next because it's too nice a layout
No shit, that explains Reddits noticeable change in moderation after the election.
I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.
But now, since early December I'm done-done.
My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I'm all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.
Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.
I love Reddit so much, but the censorship is bullshit! I quit the entire META platform months ago, lost a lot of contacts but fuck Zuckerberg!
My God they've pissed off Hitler
This (among other reasons) is why I left Reddit, deleted my account and move to Lemmy.world.
Remember that interview with Don Lemon where Musk got heated over censorship?
Me too.
There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I've never seen on Reddit I thought it was the last bastion of free speech
While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked
It is unfortunate
Steve Bannon isnt welcome in Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldn't host nazis. I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period. Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles They deserve to be boycotted And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time
Edit: UPDATE 2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!! NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT
Told you so r/Coloradosprings
Fuck yall
I got a ban for saying “even the sharks don’t want to eat Russians” on an article about a Russian tourist getting attacked by a shark.
