Posting facts and relevant links about Elon Musk and his Boring Company's "Not a Flamethrower".

Obligatory Fuck Spez

They banned the infamous turtle mod. Not because he was a horrible and abusive mod, but because he protested Reddit's API changes that killed third party apps. It just sends the message that as long as you align with the company, then you can abuse their users all you want.

I got banned from signal's subreddit for talking about how telegram works and the case for it.

Talking about "Other Product" in the "Product" sub and getting banned is a tale as old as time. So obvious that the mod community is overrun with corporate accounts and their influencer subcontractors.

Who gives a fuck about Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Most of Lemmy’s population comes from Reddit “immigrants”, so alot of people probably care about Reddit

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Being of certain race or nationality

The shutdown of r/2balkan4you. Greatest achievement of the Balkans in decades lost because of one dumb admin

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Levels of white-on-white racism not seen since the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

Their greatest achievement was a subreddit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In the last few decades yes probably

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

That's kinda sad

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

FatPeopleHate, not because they did it, but because they promoted a woman to be in charge of it exclusively so they could throw her under the bus for it, and the sweats of reddit bought the whole thing hook line and sinker

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is "sweat" the term for a collective of reddit users, much in the way a murder is the term for a collective of crows?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I thought the collective noun for a bunch of redditors was A Misery

I made an off-color joke and got banned from reddit itself for a whole week.

This joke was made by several other people in the same reddit post, by the way, because it was low hanging fruit due to the topic at hand.

my original account got shadow-banned in 2012 for no apparent reason and no notice, i think no reason qualifies as the dumbest

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

They updated their terms of service to ban discussing the wrong brand of cat food. Oh wait.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

/r/portland used to ban people for calling catalytic converter thieves "criddlers".

I got banned from r/entertainment because I said I thought Lizzo’s outfit she wore at her DC/crystal flute appearance was ugly. Nothing about her or about Madison’s crystal flute or any of that, just that I thought her outfit was ugly.
