Well, a few hours ago, I got permanently banned from Reddit, again, but this time with no explanation messages, or any recourse.
I suspect it was from my contant mocking of Musk and Trump, and the GOP in general.
Fuck them.

When Twitter-man did the salute, I deleted my old account (hadn’t used it in years anyway) When Facebook-man said “no more fact checking,” I deleted my old facebook (only kept it to keep in contact with, like, 2 people) When Tumblr-man banned the porn, I deleted my tumblr (you can guess why I had it) When Reddit-man said he wants to paywall the biggest subs, I deleted my reddit (also got banned but I prefer to say I did it for a better reason)

I’ve seen news that tumblr has changed/is changing, and they’re even implementing some form of activitypub (Fediverse) integration. I don’t have stakes here, just curious: does that change your position any, as an ex-user now on fedi?
DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I doubt it, unless I find specific content that only exists on that platform if those changes do occur. I have some very specific, LEGAL, interests that are fairly niche and hard to come by, and I have little interest in social media, so I often only create accounts on something if I actively like the content, either nsfw or sfw. Here, for example, I am here for sfw content.

Things i have stopped using- X, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Lays, McDonalds, Burger King, Netflix, Walmart. Things where i have minimized consumption - Amazon, Best Buy, Steam, YouTube. Things where I am tied in and can’t make a difference- Android, Windows, AWS, Gmail, Intel/AMD, MS Office (official productivity tools). Actually i don’t mind going minimalistic to F over US companies.
Geetnerd@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I haven’t gone that far, but I refuse to use Facebook, or Amazon.
Facebook, because it’s a shithole of ignorance, stupidity, and cruelty, and it brainwashes older people.
Amazon, because they hurt local Mom and Pop businesses, and I don’t like the way they treat the warehouse workers.
Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I agree with all the Linux comments but another thing you could do is use FOSS self-hostable front-ends to those proprietary services like invidious and newpipe (android) for youtube, redlib for reddit, nitter for twitter etc. You don’t have to host them yourself, there’s already plenty of people hosting their own instances.
Aside from removing ads which you can already do with an adblocker (which takes 1 revenue stream away from them) it lets you browse privately without any data collection which would be sold to advertisers (taking away their 2nd revenue stream).

Just build your own open source versions of all that and you’ll be fine
yournamehere@lemm.ee 11 months ago
you are not supporting it. you ARE the problem. dont blame the tech or deranged illusionists like elon. it is the people. and while everyone is high horsing like mad at reddit/twitter etc. you still cant speak out that google, meta, apple and microsoft are exactly the same shit.
YOU are an insult on humanity if you use those. and everytime it takes ages for imbeciles to move. “nooo, eVeRyyBoo0dy uSes wHats App. i nEEd t0 be oN th3re.” no, you are a POS for using whatsapp, twitter, meta, reddit or an iPhone. …and the crying starts.
yagurlreese@lemmy.world 11 months ago
yup I got shadow banned from that hell hole after saying something mean about the orange in chief it’s so pathetic, it wasn’t even super bad I commented ‘welcome to Trump’s america’ under a post about inflation skyrocketing I was on the site for 12 years no problem
it’s crazy to me I didn’t know they were so beholden to the right. it used to be the fascists got mad reddit was banning them. to.be banned over simply light jokes is so dystopian
not to mention… their ban detection system is fucking 1984 shit
Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I was only on for 6 but it still sucks.
DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I got perma-banned for saying that the US Military won’t give a shit about what is happening because they only care if it involves bombing muslims. The “reason” they gave was that I was promoting hate-speech somehow.
conicalscientist@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The chronically online incels look for things to mass report. It’s part of their ongoing campaign to shove the Overton Window far right.
Reddits content moderation are cubicle farm employees that barely look at content. They’re just clear tickets to make quota. Right wingers exploit this to control discourse.
sugarfoot00@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
After a decade there I also got permabanned. And then I got permabanned 3 more times with alt accounts for saying some pretty innocuous shit, but almost always political.
I finally got the message. Fuck you Reddit.
FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I can talk all I want. It’s easy for me because I never had a Twitter Account.
Hope everyone who wants to leave has the strength to break the habit of using the app <3
DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I only had an account explicitly to follow a small set of NSFW creators who only posted to Twitter and nowhere else, so yeah, pretty easy to let go of that.
Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 11 months ago
I tried ot login last week, was able to with the same email and password but it acted like I was a new user. So it created an entirely new account.
On a session I was still logged in I changed my email and password and I ended getting banned on that account.
Really weird and I gues it’s time to delete my main Reddit account
ameancow@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They’re banning or shadowbanning people almost arbitrarily, they don’t want more human users than bots, they can control the narratives and conversations and public sentiment with a turn of a dial if they get enough bots who seem like convincing human users to all chime in about something.
You can really see the disonnence on a major post criticizing Elon Musk or on the topic of vandalizing Teslas. The posts are all highly voted, but the top comments are all crying and whining that Musk “doesn’t deserve the hate” or how “vandals should be put in jail, we obey the law in this country!” and a lot of other very obvious oligarch fellation machines.
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
they can control the narratives and conversations and public sentiment
That sounds almost conspiratorial. How many people know of Reddit, use it, then automatically follow the narrative? Like out of the total population?
Bloomcole@lemm.ee 11 months ago
If you still were on Reddit a year before Trump while people with a minimum of consciense got banned for the mildest criticism of genocide and complain now you need to STFU.
FrChazzz@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I actually said “bye Fash-licia” to Reddit last week. I thought about trying to get banned for something stupid, just for the story. But instead I just quietly deleted the account.
UristMcHolland@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I spent about a week working a few hours a day deleting all of my posts and comments. Couldn’t be bothered to spend the $20 for shreddit to do it for me so I did it myself.
THEN I deleted my account. I “deleted” my Facebook account like 8 years ago but then ended up making a “new” one last year to use the marketplace. Didn’t want to use my new email address so I used my old one because I treat it like a burner email nowadays. Old email address ended up being the same one I used when I originally created my Facebook account and lo and behold Facebook never deleted anything. So I don’t trust companies when they say they will delete everything.
I’m not even sure Reddit actually deleted all my posts and comments but I feel better about it.
HeliumFalcon@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I had five accounts between 15-18 years old and ranging from 10k - 3M karma (I shit posted a lot).
One of my main accounts was banned from r/politics for adding “are tarred together” as a reply to “birds of a feather” during the J6 inserrection attempt. Then r/news banned it for some odd reason I don’t recall.
Then I started getting random “Just to let you know your comment may violate the rules/TOS but we’re gonna give you a chance to change it” messages for comments that quoted GOP members.
Then one of my last one was banned with zero warning when I said “not like he needs it” after a thread talked about how shitty Greg Abbot was being and how he’d pulled the ladder up on other people.
And then out of the blue they site banned me for 7 days due to evading a mod ban (I hadn’t but I just fired up an account I hadn’t used in a while but stayed away from that sub).
So I decided to delete all my accounts with the same message of “Fuck Spez. Reddit is the new Digg and Spez is the new Kevin Rose just somehow dumber”.
Fuck reddit. When you have to walk on eggshells to vote or comment then you’ve lost the plot.

turnip@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I got banned for being “anti-immigration” during a housing crisis in my country. Its pretty weird to pretend additional demand doesnt boost prices, its become like a 1984 Newspeak.
theblips@lemm.ee 11 months ago
The PE firms buying the entire downtown are raising prices, not muh immigrants
LiamTheBox@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Nalivai@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It doesn’t, and you are wrong, and if you got banned on Reddit, your stance is probably so atrocious I don’t even want to hear it.
ImmersiveMatthew@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The same can also be said about Fiat currency and really supporting anything centralized as we need to balance power with some decentralization to keep it in check, but so few seem to care.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I posted three times in 2008. It was enough.
RaptorBenn@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Lol, I was banned because i said, “If I was inclined, I wouldn’t get gender affirming operations, because at this point the medical technology is barely even cosmetically complete, let alone generally functional.” And that was enough, even though I’m not a transphobe and think people should be able to make any choice that doesnt directly or indirectly harm or deficet others.
OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 1 year ago
Well, your comment was medically inaccurate and lacking in empathy.
RaptorBenn@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
I dont believe either of those claims to be true, how would you support them?
Sibshops@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That’s the dumbest thing to get banned for.
RaptorBenn@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
It was “critical of the trans community” apparently.
IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
xitter is like 100 times worse than reddit.
reddit has issues with administration and moderation (especially the aspect of censorship), but xitter also has the overwhelmingly bigoted users on top of the censorship
xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
well now that twitter belongs to xAI, maybe it’ll get better management… and start banning nazis again….
danc4498@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Reddit isn’t as bad as Twitter. Though it’s heading that way. But there is an alternative that is 90% as good.
SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
What’s annoying is how stubborn they are about moving over to Lemmy. I know it’s not super straightforward, but it’s also not nearly as complicated as they make it sound.
SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
The lemmy community is a very specific subset of reddit’s. Reddit has a somewhat more diverse set of opinions and interests. Despite lemmy not having a specific algorithm, it ends up being an echo chamber nonetheless, a bit more than reddit imo.
That and of course the fact that if you remove political content and tech/linux, there is hardly anything left.
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well, aren’t we all stubborn when it comes to doing new things?
My guess is that it will be younger people who will go to Lemmy (like Reddit before had been).
saxoR@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Relating to this trying to convince any of my friends to try a new platform or program lol. Yeah, using Voyager on my iPhone and it’s pretty straightforward
Casteyes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I actually enjoy the smaller community here, it feels like old reddit. Like the good ole days.
SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Most people use reddit on mobile. All you gotta do is tell them to use on of the many apps and sign up that way. It’s stupid easy to do.
AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Idk,.I’m finding it might actually be useful to spread local information if you stick to some local subreddits

A lot of the niche content I like is still on reddit, however I like the people and experience over here on Lemmy more.

Start posting your niche interest on lemmy too. Hopefully someone else will join.

Twitter got abandoned 1 month after the fascist bought it. Account deleted 6 months ago.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I use Twitter and reddit for porn, nothing else anymore. People/communities I follow are ghost towns elsewhere. Everytime I point this out, people get butthurt, yet none of them link to their porn profile.
Post the (adorable, lanky, femboy, who has glasses and a thick uncut cock) porn, and as the saying goes, ‘they will cum’.
lowleekun@ani.social 11 months ago
thanks. i thought i was alone in this struggle. it is also why i keep on calling it titter.
Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Hell, most porn boards are dead too outside of the main/most vanilla ones.
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
uhhh, I’m 4/5, how important is being uncut? It’s not like I had much choice in the matter lol.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s a plus, but definitely not a requirement~ 🥺
stoi@lemm.ee 1 year ago
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Well, I still wouldn’t consider using Reddit to be near as bad as using Shitter.
nectar45@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Look…I know we all hate reddit cause they kicked like half of us for no good reason but like…spez doesnt even compare to how evil Musk is
Then again…X is arguably still a better social media platform than reddit is…
Ok nevermind
x3x3@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Arguably there is now more censorship on Reddit than on twitter.
