The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.

    Good. I got banned just today for “inciting violence” then when I asked what I did they couldn’t tell me. Musk pressuring spez into harsher moderation is probably part of why I was actually banned. I followed every rule but was active in left wing communities and it seems that’s enough to be deplatformed under the trump regime.

      Holy shit, me too.

      They said I threatened violence because in a thread about Putin potentially being sick, I said I wished he had a painful slow death.

      Apparently even bloodthirsty dictators get to have their poor feelings protected by Reddit.

      Fuck Reddit! I’m just gonna abandon that shit platform

        I had two main accounts. My oldest account got permabanned for a joke about Nick Fuentes. After his address got doxxed and he pepper sprayed a woman who rang his doorbell back in December of last year, I said “hey as an incel he should be happy that the ladies know where he lives now so they can share a cocktail with him”, and I added a cartoon gif of a Molotov. It was obviously a joke, but they said it was “promoting/glorifying violence”. I ate the bullet on that one because they were technically right, even if they were a bunch of humorless twats.

        My other account got banned about a month ago when I up voted a comment that was just a picture of Luigi Luigi (the Nintendo character) smoking a cigarette. Again for “promoting/glorifying violence”.

        Elon Musk is a weak little crybaby and Steve Huffman is a pathetic coward.

        Idek wtf i said lmaoo. Atleast you got told you were deplatformed for daring to disagree with the regime. I just got shown the door. This place seems much nicer though.

          Well, I had enough of this bullshit, and together with news that Reddit’s CEO was pressured by Musk of all people to curb dissent, I just deleted my accounts.

          Bye Reddit.

          I’m 100% a Lemmee guy now

      I was Permanently banned for harassment because I asked a mod why they banned me.

      Mind you, I’d ask, and they’d mute me for a week straight instead of just pointing out what got me banned.

      lol I pray for their downfall; this news pleases me.

      Harsher moderation followed by a bot farm the richest man payed for to report every account that is critical of Nazis.

      I’m not even kidding. At this point the amount of comments on Lemmy that I’ve read that had 10+ year old Reddit accounts banned for “inciting violence” is crazy. I was one of them a few months ago. Told a dude denying a Nazi salute was a Nazi salute to “go to hell where Nazis belong”. Was banned within an hour. Permanent and IP/Metadata banned. Instant response of “no” to my unban request.

      This is not a unique experience either. Leave reddit like it’s the plague. Digg died because of bad decisions. Reddit seems like it’s gonna become 4chan but for the mainstream. I don’t know if it’ll die. I think they’re purging anyone that has leftist profiles.

        I’m just sad that I’m leaving all the marvel and action figure collector communities i was apart of behind. But yeah I don’t plan on going back. It’s gonna become infested with nazis sooner or later anyway.

          Yeah that’s probably for the best. I say this with no judgement as a former WoW addict. It’s the time to do shit in the real world and get organized to resist these Fascist. Hit up PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation) or DSA (Democratic Socialist of America) in your area. If anything it will give you a social life on Friday/Saturday (usually when they have meetups for PSL in my experience). PSL in my area even organized child care during meetups/protests.

          Also, your local SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) if you have one. Basically the only place to train with a weapon that isn’t filled with MAGA hats. But they have literally been overwhelmed since November so might have to deal with hogs in another course if you’re interested in that. Again, depends on your location.

          That’s my experience trying to explore real life anyway. Your path might be different. Plenty of mutual aids to join. Lots of local organizations of any kind our leading the charge to resist ICE. Depending on your location that might be a Mosque, Synagogue, Church, Temple, etc. (Thats one of the main reasons they now legally allow ICE to raid them. Which is FUBAR.) Find out what works for you in your area.
