Been there since 07, also work in Human Services. Reddit died with Aaron. He was the heart and soul of the site. The decline started shortly after that and it was slow, but it really picked up steam around the time of their IPO, and ever since they’ve pretty much embraced “evil”. Fuck Spez.
Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.
Krudler@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI was sign up number 3. I emailed Spez his own source code because he had the error reporting on his Web Server set to “VERBOSE”.
I was permanently banned for an answer in an AskReddit thread that amounted to “what is true in your line of work that you can’t say”. My answer was that non-males are insanely violent and one of the huge lies that is held in the public consciousness is that “men are the violent ones” when the reality is all people are violent, and there’s a tremendous amount of IPV especially in same-sex partnerships. Banned for “advocating violence”.

Incels are quite overly sensitive when it’s a women talking about violence against women by men, they brigade and try troll people. Askedddit also banned me, for because the sub was asking something about an actor, and I was explaining how a Star Trek actor made the show about herself( Beverly crusher) people don’t like how their holy trek role model was criticized

Aren’t those kinds of decisions made in the writers’ room, though?

I reported a comment for basically saying that men are the only violent sex, and they temp-banned me for abusing the reporting system. The explanation message (canned, I’m sure) said that reporting abuse is a form of harassment or bullying, or something like that.
Eat shit reddit, and fuck spez.

I don’t think they are trying to sabotage their own products. It really is that they’re not smart enough to see where is the value is. And this is kind of understandable, right? The underlying software has been copied already. It’s out there. If that company has value it’s only the user base. But that puts management in the strange situation where everything they are doing to make money is making their own product worse. And they kind of know it, right? But they can’t admit it. They can’t think about it clear. Their own mental stability relies on ignoring the obvious truths that they see and read every day.

I had the exact same experience. I am a man that suffered tremendous amount of violence at the hands of my female caregivers and partners. I reported a similar hate-based comment against men and I got banned temporarily.

I believe I was warned once for that same comment, and banned on another account. I was saying the same thing violence in relationship are overwhelming men in every way. Sure there is done by women

Consider conducting some actual research and study, instead of deciding your and biased ideas represent reality.
The fact is that in terms of frequency non-males are worst. Males more severe physical damage per incident.
But don’t argue with me here, if you wanted actual knowledge on the subject you’d have it already.
