    this is happening on tiktok too. I got a violation warning for criticizing tiktok on tiktok. They said I was “bullying.” This is some social media shit that is happening across platforms. I know I am not making this up in my head.

    I was a 12 year Redditor, with nearly 1 million Karma, so I was a major contributor for over a decade, yet I was recently perma-banned for repeating a perfectly normal anti-Trump/ anti-Insurrection opinion that I had previously stated numerous times with no warnings. Once Trump was elected, I was PERMANENTLY banned the next time I stated that opinion.

    Ohanian has announced that he wants to buy TikTok, and everyone knows that TikTok’s new American owner will be personally chosen by Krasnov, so hell want make the Sociopathic Oligarchs compete like dancing monkeys. Only those who have followed his orders, smooched his fat ass, and paid sufficient bribes will be considered. So they are combing through Reddit and banning anyone who might hurt HitlerPig’s feelings.

    At first I wasn’t happy about the much smaller comment sections on Lemmy, but then I realized that it also isn’t flooded with bots, trolls, endless stupid terrible puns, and overmoderation.

    My guess is they want clean and aligned data to train AI. They’ll save time and money by getting people in line early, or banning those that don’t follow their rules.

      the data mostly being right wing driven, which drives traffic resulting in better ad-revenue. both youtube, and FB does this now. because right wings love drama and conflict. additionally pos top youtubers like beast and others.

    I was just banned from Reddit for promoting Lemmy and upvoting anti-Trump comments. No joke 😂 It finally happened

    That’s because ‘Spez’ (Spaz?) or whatever felt the fear. He knows he’s being a shithead and probably believes that someone will be gunning for him if the rethoric is allowed to grow. It’s a fearful bid for self-preservation.

        One of my old burner accounts was banned. Because I said we should throw shit at Reddit HQ. Go walk your dog and save a wet one. Then take a walk by the office.

          i had a bunch of burner ones that were banned even if they were 5+years old. mostly avoided any subs i was perma banned in an old acct, but they decided to assume any acct that posted in one of these to ban.
