You have to at least give them credit for leaving this up in the post - “Due to reddit admins being complete fucking morons”
Luigi dindu nuffin. Reddit is is big mad normies sided with the american hero and their psyops failed.
Get fucked parasites
Now I’m starting to think that getting banned from reddit and them not telling me why and instantly denying my appeal was just a test. What a garbage website and moderation.
This is new. I have never seen this before. Reminds me of mods of groups banning people just because they are subscribed to other groups that those mods don’t like. So much for free speech
I got mine this morning. Coincidentally, I signed up here this morning as well.
Welcome! A few pointers to help you settle in
Feel free if you have any questions
Welcome, enjoy it while it’s small
Welcome to Lemmy! It’s much, much slower here, but a lot of people (myself included) see that as a plus.
Please don’t be discouraged if your niche hobby isn’t represented here. I’m not one to talk, but if the community for it doesn’t exist, go ahead and create it! 😁
Logging in is punishable by ban. You’re banned! You can contact moderators through /dev/null. But consider that ban disputs are punishable by ban. Being banned is a violation of the rule #38563-a and punishable by ban.
For multiply violations of the rules you are permamently banned!
Good day.
Wow, they don’t even tell you what they decided your “violating actions” were.
Turns out Pig Boy is not only a big fan of that Twitter Twat but also of Kafka.
They literally said that they don’t want to tell, because it will lead to users gaming the system. 😒
users gaming
Gamers are truly the most oppressed class.
Guess I’ll die

Which content? Yes, I know that they’re not saying on purpose because
“people could game the system”“trust me bro.”Ooooh… My bad.

This is the beginning of the end of Reddit.

Same thing here.
I’ve seen this statement like a dozen times over the last 15 years but never before has an alternative been quite as robust as Lemmy been available. Might actually see it happen this time

I vaguely remember the secret santa thing. Could you remind us what that was all about.

I was considering getting an account after being off Reddit for almost 2 years just because there are some pretty large active transgender communities then I saw this.
They reached the end of what reddit used to be a long time ago when they switched to yet another algorithm based flood of crap.
A few small communities might carry on the tradition, but the site as a whole is nothing like the user curated content aggregator that it used to be.
Probably not, reddit, like all modern social media platforms, is essentially “too big to fail”. They have captured and cornered their markets and will continue to dominate indefinitely.
Throughout all of these things reddit’s user growth has went up, not down. Daily Active Users grow, month over month, more than 20x the entire population of Lemmy., just think about that, there’s more growth to the daily active user count on a monthly basis (not the totally user count), then the entire population of Lemmy, x20.
It’s depressing to think about. But it’s also reality. And reality fucking sucks.
All I can hope is that lemmy and similar continue to grow.
How many of those accounts are bots?
Those are shareholder approved autonomous marketing and engagement agents. Not bots. -Spez
According to ad hoc statistics. Between 25-50% of posters are bots. However posters are only about 10% of the Reddit population.
If we make a completely incorrect assumption and say that every single user is a poster, that still means 10-15x the entire population of Lemmy, it doesn’t really change much here.
If you take the difference between posters and lockers into account and you are crazy harsh with the bot numbers you’re really only reducing the population of non-bits by like 20% or so.
Adios Reddit. Well hello Fediverse. I will switch back to lemmy. First, they took our third-party apps. Now, they are actively censoring. Farewell Reddit. Fuck u/spez

You have upvoted the incorrect opinion, consider this a warning. If you continue to upvote incorrect opinions, you will be in violation of our Terms of Service and your account will be suspended. Upvotes are to only be given to approved opinions, as determined by our moderation team.
lmao Reddit has become a complete joke.
People are saying Canadians are getting flagged for even saying/upvoting “elbows up” (I am not Canadian)
Trump’s attempts at censorship would make Hitler proud
I’m sorry, we found that you watched a post that was against our content policy for 5 seconds instead of the maximum allowed time of 3 seconds. We will therefore suspend your account, thank you for understanding.
I’m sure Orwell didn’t really expect telescreens to become a real thing, but we have very literally welcomed surveillance devices into our lives and homes. Now, it’s just a matter of who starts actively using them as a monitoring device.
So what would happen if the user upvotes something benign and then the OP edits their post to something violent?
They dont care.
This is not about being reasonable this is about rooting out dissent when big events happened like a dead CEO recently
spez can just edit the comment for them
Oh no, someone pushed a button on the internet to support justice.
Slippery slope.
Why are they even making a show of this? Couldn’t they just show you different numbers, they’re fuzzed anyway, or shadow ban you, or any of the other ways to make your votes disappear?
The show is the point. Users are supposed to self-censor out of fear, which is far more effective than any form of automated censorship. Reddit just implement the “chilling effect”.
That place is a cesspool, I hope they get chilled into leaving. Even if they go to bluesky, get tf out of there.
