    I got perma banned from my OG account for engaging with ruzzian trolls. Apparently telling them they’d look good fertilizing sunflowers, and digging babushka a fresh latrine pit is “promoting violence”. No warnings, just straight to ban. Reddit allows obvious ruzzian gas lighters, but bans those who call them out. That is Reddit today, a hotbed of ruzzian and nazi propaganda.

        The ‘z’ for me emphasizes the fact that not all russians are war hungery, ignorant ruzzians. Just like all Americans are not Magatz

        It’s derogatory. It’s a play on the stupid “Z” they had on all their vehicles when they invaded Ukraine. “Cuntistan” would probably have got me banned. Anyway, I’ll misspell the names of any country I loathe, as much as I like :)

      i got temp ban, for reporting trolls, lol. apparently reporting more than once in arbitrary amount of time, is considered report abuse. its the same type of comments you hear from .ml false, pushing a botty narrative.

      There has been a recent flood of pro-russia pro-trump moderators in almost all the reddit subs i frequent. I also just got a permanant ban for evasion to post this. “It wasn’t enought to just amplify the idiots voices, they have to smother the voices of reason and doubt” Apparently that was uncivil way to speak about the mods.

        There was no death threat from me, and what else do you suggest when dealing with a gas lighter or out and out liar? Just lie back and take it?

      Same here, I simply made a comment about “the Muscovites receiving a dose of their own medicine” and fucking Russian shill, Putin Bot and/or MAGAt reported me. To top it off, I did not use a single swear word in the comment. Fuck Russia and Reddit.

        i always commented on many of those subs, how alot of them are just russian bots/trolls, and people respond to these posts like its an actual person doing it, no its all russia. Half of the comments are more than likely russian bots, if reddit actually DOES ITS JOBS, reddit would be a very quiet place. i get that theres alot from US propaganda farms, but it pales in comparison to russia.

    English people acc know how to think for themselves, we criticise our politicians regardless of what parties we vote for and form our own opinions rather than follow the rhetoric of one of two absolutely dogshit parties.

        That’s exactly my point, most usual labour voters didn’t agree with Corbyn, cause they don’t blindly follow whoever’s leader of any one party.

        In fact we usually vote for whichever party’s either the least dogshit at the time or strategically vote against the most, for example when Blair illegally went to war in Iraq to suck American dick we all collectively voted against Labour, and after the absolute Tory shitshow we all voted against them.

        Strategically because of our absolutely shit, barely democratic FPTP voting system, which usually forces people to vote strategically, against the most powerful party they like the least, but luckily we still have more than 2 voting options.

          So that’s how you guys got Blair 2?

        Reddit is a massive social media, and Spez seems desperate to be at the same table as the likes of Zuckerberg. I think this sort of behaviour highlights it.

      That’s an interesting point. I wonder how many Lemmy users have had nothing to do with Reddit. I can’t imagine that many

        I still have a Reddit account but I’ve not logged in since the API business. I really don’t miss it.

        There are a few. One thing to point out is that Mastadon users can (albeit in a clunky fashion) view and interact with Lemmy communities. I could see someone who is only into microblogging services interacting on a community here when they would have never signed up for reddit.

      probably the latter, i was permabanned on 5+accs at once, when i was temp banned on an old one. found out reditt was deliberately doing a massive sweep to eliminate as much accounts as possible early FEB.

      too risky to even make a new account or even comment on most sub with my only one that is partially flagged. i tested by commented a bunch on a niche sub that isnt monitored heavily by filters or mods.

        From my research last night, mid-late FEB was when all the pro trump mods got intoduced to popular subs.

    For decades, the Woke Left has complained that we live in a bifurcated society of privileged middle class professionals and trod upon lower class manual laborers. But Donald Trump is resolving the contradiction. Now everyone gets to enjoy the hyper-surveillance, the stochastic violence, and the suffocating revanchist propaganda once reserved for poor people.

    If you can’t post innocuous things like this to reddit, what is even the point of going there? That site went downhill extremely fast. Good, fuck reddit!

      Still okay for talking about anything that isn’t critical of authority, I guess. So just hobbies and such. Serious discussion must be made elsewhere.

    I deleted my reddit account yesterday. I used Revedit and I realised that most of the comments I had made on there had been removed or hidden without me ever realising…

      I was blown away by how many completely normal comments (just part of discussions, not even political) have been removed. Pretty sure reddit automod is broken and I’m not sure if reddit devs are even aware of it

        They likely are, but management is also likely rejecting any attempts to fix it.
