Speedrunning a permaban on my 15 year old account. How many days do you think it will take?

      That’s why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.

      I don’t know if you saw this article, but it’s a fascinating and infuriating read, it’s about all of the Luigi censorship and the upvote policing. It’s scary as hell. Check it out

        It talks about terrorist propaganda. I know a little bit about extremist groups use of social media… the tldr is social media is riddled with it. If they’re saying that’s the motivation then they are using that as an excuse. It’s ALWAYS been on reddit p, it’s nothing but a cover story.

      Only comedy revolving around punching down is legal. Joke around about punching up… that’s illegal now.

        Illegal! Just like Elon’s immigration status when he and his brother overstayed their visa!

        Also Epstein set up his brother on a date!

        Bazinga!

    One of my buddies was recently complaining about “free speech” on Reddit.

    Told him it’s a company and not the government, so free speech doesn’t count there. He hated that.

    Told him if he didn’t like it to use Bluesky…he’s a staunch conservative…lol

    Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can’t even reply to? Are they also sending out these messages to people upvoting /r/Conservative content? What about/r/Conspiracy?

      Dude one of my guilty pleasures on Reddit was r/fightporn. You’re telling me people are getting this kind of warning while the site also hosts a sub dedicated to real street fights? Fuck outta here

      Not even really cowardice when you consider how bare bones their staff is. Even if they gave a shit about users, real monetization costs money and Reddit hates spending.

        Reddit hates spending money

        Reddit hates people using it. “Look at these bandwidth costs!”

        They keep making their site worse and getting more pissed off as people continue to use it lol

    Please let them implode.

    I want Lemmy to have niche content. I’m tired of being a bitter asshole about politics and news on here. I want to gleefully distract myself while my country burns, not be ultra depressed about it because its constantly in my face.

    hey so i started looking at a new place because I’m tired of reddit and the people on it… My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn’t even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy’s back is turned on your icon you’re in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren’t showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don’t know if this is related to luigi but it’s some weird nonsense.

      You sir or ma’am were shadowbanned. They want your views, not your voice. Basically you are ad revenue to them, if they ban you they lose that sweet juicy $.02 from their advertiser. They want two cents from their advertiser, just not from you.

    Whatever their goal is, one result is apparent: less voicing of opposite views to the status quo on their website.

      Less voicing of views, period. Reddit doesn’t want user interaction. Only views. The bots generate the content while the users are there to generate ad revenue.

    Talk about the thought police! I saw it coming for awhile, but past me from a decade ago is shocked that Reddit has come to this.

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, reading content that breaks the rules is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, thinking about breaking the law is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, protesting human rights violations is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, being an unapproved minority is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, not drinking enough verification cans is also considered a violation.”

    They’re scared. Spez knows his neck is on the line in a more literal fashion than ever.
