News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
I am proudly permabanned from reddit for telling people to punch Nazis.
Punching nazis isnt mindless violence. Its violence against the mindless
I was permabanned for telling mods they have tiny peen syndrome.
That was my first temp ban, years ago. I was shocked. You can't be pro-Nazi punching?
They permabanned my main and unrelated business account for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot. Apparently not caring is also “promoting violence.”
Cheney is a warmonger who has called for the killing of millions in unjust wars. I don’t care if someone threatens her.

shortly after the article came out talking about how Reddit is bending the knee to Musky's hissy fit, I received two notifications from Reddit; one, a 7-Day ban for "breaking multiple rules" but not telling me what actually happened, and after sending them an appeal asking what exactly I was banned for, I received the second notification, telling me that I was permanently banned for, again, "breaking multiple rules".
as far as I'm concerned, I'm finally free.
I've been banned by reddit many times, but they always coincided with disagreeing with a mod. They don't need to tell you what rules you broke when it was just a disagreement.

I just got a 3 day ban for saying that it's everyone's civic duty to doxx anyone they know involved in this current administration's nazi bullshit.
I still stand by that, and as soon as the ban clears I'm going to be wiping my account and closing it for good. Fuck that place.
I brought attention to some concerning moderation in spaces related to sex (and sexual assault recovery - a lot of subreddits are places for people to find victims to get them to tell their stories for “enjoyment”) and got some sort of IP ban a while back.
Keep in mind there’s circumstantial evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell might have been a power mod too.

Given that Xitter is going down the proverbial toilet, I am surprised Reddt didn't see the risks in turning their platform into a right-wing cesspool.
This is u/spez we're talking about here c'mon.
Spaz IS a right wing cesspool. So it is to be expected
Not surprising seeing as theyve also been unjustly banning people again. Just got booted off the site today and was given zero explanation besides I "incited violence." The link to the supposed "violation" didnt work then when I asked in my appeal they wouldnt tell me anything. Im left to assume its because my politics didnt agree with the current regime.
Musk has been pressuring them to go after critics of him, and the administration, and Reddit is capitulating. Cowards.
I suspect it is because they want to buy TikTok, and they know HitlerPig will award it based on appeasement and the bribe.
It'll be funny to watch them start lifting those bans when they realize bending the knee to fascists isn't gonna save the site. Oh well. They've shown their true colors as a platform.
I've wondered if that will happen once they realize they've chased off so many core members.
I'm not sure I'd return. I like the higher volume of posts on Reddit, especially in niche subs, but i don't miss the bots, trolls, puns, novelty accounts, Russian karma farmers, etc.
I was sign up number 3 the day they added accounts. I made I think one of the 1st hundred comments ever. I'll never go back for any reason. The place is a joke, and what people keep going back for are the memories of what it was, not what it is.

Ooopsie, there goes your money. Not exactly a good idea to cross your community, is it?
Free Luigi.
I mean things could not matter potentially but I left Reddit permanently and came here cause of this.
Echoing this.
They have a price that's still hundreds of times above their earnings. The stock is comically overvalued. It isn't crashing and it has nothing to do with Luigi posting. Air is just coming out of an equities market that's been hyper-inflated since before COVID.
I fear that a manufactured depression is forming that will completely wipe out the remnants of the middle class (workers who own assets).
Seems to be the intent
Last week, I got a 3 day ban from Reddit. The next day it turned into a permanent ban. Reddit claimed that it was due to a comment made about a video, showing a coach pull the ponytail of one of the girls on his team. While I don't recall what my comment was, as the father of a HS girl who plays sports, it bothered me, but as a man in his 50s, who played football in the 1980s, who periodically got his ass kicked by his coach, when he screwed up, it didn't bother me enough to say anything terrible. Of course, they deleted the post, and refused to elaborate. I've been supportive of Luigi, and have heard that Reddit was coming after Luigi supporters, so I thought that could be the real reason. Who really knows?
I had a 12 year account and almost a million karma, and was permabanned after the inauguration for a comment i had made many times. I came to Lemmy and found i was part of a bloodbath.
I've seen many people with bans on 10+ year accounts. We're the people who built Reddit. Somehow we managed to make thousands of posts for all those years without bans, and suddenly all of us posted lifetime-bannable posts in the same month?

I mean there's little point to become invested in reddit when they're going skew that far right and then censor/delete and ban everything with appeals getting ignored.
Communities are having to over moderate. I can't even say Fuck Christians or Billionaires shouldn't exist without it being hate speech or violence, but rightiods get to spam their lgbtq hate. And the less said about violent Porn subs the better.
Truely a dark time 😮💨
r/guro is still up r/beastlove probably is r/guroerotica r/dykebreaking
Tons and tons of violent misogyny subs. There’s a family of them around “degrading women” or whatever.
This isn’t necessarily an opposition to people enjoying dark themes in porn. But these communities aren’t even quarantined. The comment sections often are disturbing and violent in a way that even wishing Musk an enjoyable mission to the sun doesn’t compare. It’s naked hypocrisy.
I think this is important. The fascists don’t have an opposition to porn, especially violent heterosexual porn. I’ve continued to hear about how Twitter is “good” for porn.

I gave up the game there after 12 years... of mostly lurking though.
I'm just trying to get permabanned for mentioning Lemmy and sharing my views on billionaires at this point
Same bro I got a three day ban yesterday.
They gave me one too, but I extended it to perma just to make sure I don't feel tempted to go back.
Same lol. I just had to ban evade and say that last patriot comment about amplifying the idiots and supressing the dissenters is not how we should run a democracy. Boom permaban. Do not question reddit moderation policy. It's worse than luigi.
As you should
Yeah, they gave me a three day ban a few days ago, so I joined here. I have no plans on going back ever. I uninstalled the reddit app. I had been on that site to some degree for more than half my life.
Luckily it's dropping again. Burn baby burn.
Meh, fuck em
Federate. Anonymize. Consensus based moderation. Without that we succumb to tyranny.
The problem with consensus is you can fake it pretty easily with a bunch of bots.
You guys are still using reddit?
Lots of local discussion groups that simply don't exist on lemmy. I've tried getting them to move too.
