The website is attacking the users that made it the front page of the internet.

    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.

    Apparently saying [some stuff] is now against the rules too even though they never told us

    Lemmy.ml enacts censorship in this manner as well, as too does Midwest.social. But there are so very many other instances that do not, making the former easy to avoid while being able to engage with a ton of content:-).

    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

    It’s a good sign actually. They’re scared! It means the discourse can, and will, make a difference.

    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.

              i only go into the niche subs i cant find here, and only on that. thats my last acct, and its almost oldest one, ironically its been flagged by reddit with the perma-banned but wasnt banned, but im pretty sure its on thin ice. politics and news subs and adjacent subs really poisoned the site and its users.

                Same for unique hobbies and sports teams. But I just don’t use the website anymore since I’m banned. I need a new pc to ever create another account. To get them to not auto ban that new acct. but it’s not worth it for me.

    Just read the article came here to post it and lookie here. Yeah man absolutely disgusting. I came over a few days ago after getting the 7 day ban for the exact things stated in the article. But then I told the Reddit team some colorful words, and they decided to permanently banned me. Fucking bootlickers

      Yeah fuck Reddit. It was a great platform once. Now it’s dogshit. The leadership is visionless and obsessed with monetization, finally deciding to kill the golden goose
