I’m glad I got banned, Reddit is going downhill fast

Let’s be real here, Pig Boy didn’t need Elon to pressure him much to clamp down on people critical of the elite.

I get that Musk is doing all types of tropes. But… what is the source for this newspaper I never heard about before? Is there any evidence for these pressures beyond “Trust me bro, we are the Latin times”?
I also deleted my reddit account. What is happening in that sub?

Spez is silencing people all over reddit giving warnings n shit for making Elon cry, it’s what made me come here just now via r/enoughmuskspam

Because Reddit mods are known for not being massive corruptable stooges?
xenomor@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.

There was that peak time back in the 2010s. Right after they got rid of all the worst hate communities but before they were taken over by astroturfing.
Maybe like 2014-2015ish?

I’m amazed any of you get told why you were banned
Smerk@lemmy.studio 1 year ago
There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I’ve never seen on Reddit I thought it was the last bastion of free speech
While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked
It is unfortunate
Steve Bannon isnt welcome on Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldnt host nazis. I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period. Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles They deserve to be boycotted And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time
Edit: UPDATE 2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!! NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT
Told you so r/Coloradosprings
Fuck yall

I’d argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.
droans@midwest.social 1 year ago
I’d argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.
Lemmy is kind of forced to be, too.
Horrific speech can be removed from the site. But if you want to see it, the admin logs are open to the public. Other instances also aren’t forced to play along with the views of one instance. And each instance can choose whether they want to connect with others.
So you could create your own Christian Nationalist and White Supremacist Lemmy. But our instances don’t have to federate with it. And if they choose to do so, we can leave for a different one or the users can block it entirely.
Lemmy lets anyone have a platform and, simultaneously, it doesn’t force anyone to listen to you just because you have your own platform. Basically, everything that makes Lemmy a decentralized platform also makes it good for moderation without harming free speech.
KingCake_Baby@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I just got a temporary ban for cussing out Elon in one of the antifacist subreddits, felt good. I’m wearing this ban as a badge of honor.
zenitsu@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I got perma banned for calling a magat regarded and telling them to stop eating crayons, under rule 1:
Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.
lol
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
regarded (sic)
Surely you can insult musk without being ableist though? There’s 500,000 words in the English language. Choose one that doesn’t drag innocent people into it.
DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 1 year ago
I’m not and never was banned from there, however I left on my own accord after this happened, as if all their other enshittification didn’t reinforce that decision.

SmokeytheBeard1@lemm.ee 1 year ago
My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn’t let me see what I even commented. They said it was “encouraging violence” but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ya. The ol’ “encouraging violence”. Pretty much the same thing as “national security”

can@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Probably, yeah. I made new accounts often but my oldest would probably have been 2010. But I’ve given up once I found lemmy aside from occasionally going back to help people come over when I know reddit has further agitated its existing base.
ssladam@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Jan 16, 2008. Got me beat by a bit. Beat you to Lemmy though, so I guess I’ve got that going for me.

I’ve been seeing the steady increase in posts and complaints about Reddit banning folks for political speech for the last couple of months and I finally have had enough so here I am. Been on there for 14 years… Byeeeee.
droans@midwest.social 1 year ago
Haven’t gotten banned yet but it’s definitely gotten to the point on Reddit where you are aware that you can’t discuss some topics.
Like mentioning Luigi could get you shadow-banned. Redditors acted like they were going to stand up against this and yet there’s nothing. So the censorship is working - either all the comments are getting removed or people are too afraid to talk about it.
InverseParallax@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Was about 17 years.
The Russians are astroturfing hard, doing everything to justify their invasion and banning anyone who disagrees.
No point anymore.
CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 1 year ago
That’s the terrifying thing about it… we’re being horribly influenced
droans@midwest.social 1 year ago
That’s not even recent. Russia has been astroturfing Reddit since at least 2015.
I remember reading /r/politics pretty often back then. All of a sudden, half the posts were from RT talking about Hillary and the DNC. Yes, what they did to Bernie was bullshit but the point was clearly to either get people to vote for Trump instead or to encourage people not to vote.
Now, like you said, it’s about the war. All of a sudden, every single post about the invasion has dozens of people who are totes Ukrainian and think that Zelenskyy is a monster who refuses to end the war. Yet they either have a rather bare post/comment history or never mentioned the war before.
And, if you go to the profile for any user who identified themselves as Ukrainian years ago, it’s crazy but they’re still in favor of the war and protecting Ukraine.
This is what propaganda is. It’s not just the government putting up posters saying you should listen to them; it’s convincing you that your views are extreme and unpopular.
Literocola@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I got a ban for saying “even the sharks don’t want to eat Russians” on an article about a Russian tourist getting attacked by a shark.
MyMotherIsAHamster@lemmy.ca 1 year ago

upandatom@lemmy.world 1 year ago

hardypart@feddit.org 1 year ago
How’s an IP ban even supposed to work when you get a new IP regularly?
KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
This is a myth. We’re out of addresses and now most DHCP rules are locked.
MyMotherIsAHamster@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Honestly, I wish I knew - I tried creating new accounts from both home and other Wi-Fi networks, and they all got banned within an hour. Our daughter still lives with us and her account was banned too, same thing happened when she tried creating new accounts. I’m assuming it may be tied to the MAC addresses of my laptop and phone, but not sure.
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I actually pay extra to my internet provider for a fixed ip so that I may have a privilege of being permabanned
