Remember that interview with Don Lemon where Musk got heated over not wanting censorship? Mee too.

I didn’t get banned, I just can’t login anymore. All browsers confirm username and pass are correct, but reddit says they are not. They really don’t like critics. No calls for violence, veiled or otherwise. The wheels are coming off that country quickly.

I got banned for saying we should punch Nazis, and calling Musk a cunt.
I regret nothing.

Reddit is dead to me and I was with it since near the beginning.
droans@midwest.social 2 months ago
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?
fmtx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Same. Joined at the Digg migration. Left at the 3rd party App-ocolypse. Reddit is dead. Or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that it’s a zombie: with more bots than actual human users, it’s the Dead Internet Theory in action.

Honestly, I haven’t actually deleted anything totally. But I probably still have a Friendster account.
can@sh.itjust.works 2 months 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.

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.

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 2 months ago
Ya. The ol’ “encouraging violence”. Pretty much the same thing as “national security”

I have been less active there since the API fracas, and since they announced they’re policing upvotes? I haven’t been active at all.

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 2 months 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

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.

It still impacts a lot of people because we here are in the minority and we can’t save them all. So it’s absolutely valid to have this piss you off.

KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
One of the most recurring things I see here is the mods are at wits end with Reddit Admins again. They’ve given up a lot of leverage in doing another blackout, but they really need to ask themselves what they have to gain being unpaid volunteers for a website clearly working against its users.
TwinTitans@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The mods on Reddit are a joke anyway. But still, pretty messed up.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just a reminder that if Musk can do this with no ownership of reddit, you know the CCP through Tencent has been doing it for ages.

Shame that the “DAE CHINA BAD” being shoehorned into unrelated conversations has made its way over to Lemmy now.
Fluke@lemm.ee 2 months ago
The Chinese government is an authoritarian shitshow. This is objective fact.
Before you even try it, don’t “what about” and point to another authoritarian shithole like that makes China’s continuing abuses ok. It’s not, and there is no defending it. To attempt to do so is excusing it, and merely shows your ignorance and/or complicity.

This (among other reasons) is why I left Reddit, deleted my account and move to Lemmy.world.
