“Shithole website continues circling toilet.”
Fuck Trump and Musk. US should get invaded Iraq 2003 style.
Finally made the permanent switch over to Lemmy. I left a link in the Reddit Safety post so anyone else could convert easily.
It’s an absurd overreach to say the least; good riddance to the corpo-bot platform.
If the content is banned how is it being upvoted?
If it gets posted, then you upvote, and it gets banned later they’ll issue a mass warning to everyone that up voted out before the ban.
Reddit really likes it’s exit waves
Feels like how reddit was when I first used it 12 years ago. Bye bye reddit.
I register on reddit 17 years ago. Before the great migration from digg. I remember /r/programming being the first sub to reach 100k subscribers.
I got banned for saying in the /r/europe sub that russia banning youtube in russia was a good thing because then we in the west would get less russian propaganda. Got banned for a couple days. Left and never looked back.
/r/programming is dead already since around a decade. All the good discussions moved to hackernews and lobsters.
I’ll have to stop looking at Reddit for real now.
I was checking it periodically to see if I was missing out on anything, but the entire front page is meticulously curated propaganda & ads now. The manipulation is especially obvious because they rarely even update it now. You’ll see the same shit stuck on popular for days.
But I’m not complaining. It canceled out any FOMO I might’ve had.
I don’t expect this ban hammer will help in their next earnings call.
Warms my heart to see all the ‘new account’ badges in this thread.
Haha aaaaand that’s how I got here
I suspect this will drive a lot of people over here.
I mean I think its a good web series. We format it similar to How I Met Your Mother.
Potential seasons Ellen Poa Quarantine Policy The Donald Ban API Changes WSB Mod Policy Changes
And that’s how I met Lemmy.
Fuck Reddit
I’m using the voyager app for Lemmy and it’s just like Apollo. It’s amazing.
This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.
Mine too! They recommended Lemmy on r/redditsafety.
Fuck Reddit.
Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups
Conform, citizen.
My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn’t see this earier.
Anyways I think this is a dangerous chilling effect and reddit has a terrible track record for not using this as intended, so I can only expect Reddit Admins to use this beyond warning, I expect bans and this used in warrants/NSLs quickly.
Stop using reddit, stop going to reddit.
My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn’t see this earier.
I’m getting an impression that lemmy.world federation has been super slow recently.
At this point being banned might be a good thing to drive home the point that also my favorite of the old corporate internet platforms should be avoided. I’m doing quite okay on staying away from Meta and have long deleted my Twitter account. I can’t get myself do drop Reddit somehow. Seems like they’re only helping me get off my addiction
Delete all your comments and posts while you still can. Don’t let them profit off you.
