12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I’ve noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.
Reddits purpose is to create Nazis. You can post anything and use AI bots to do it as long as you push right wing propaganda.
Capitalistic facism aka enshittiffication.
It’s starting here too I called out a 5hr old account for being a suspected Russian bot and my comments were removed. I also got mobbed on by a manosphere group in a comment on an article about a book that a woman wrote about being doxed with revenge porn. The toxic Reddit culture is starting to come over.
I find anything remotely pro women has always got shitty comments from the manosphere. We recently had a spate of shitty male comments on [email protected]
Thanks for this response. I feel less alone. It’s pretty frustrating to see these manosphere mobs claiming victim status and accusing people of misandry when women speak frankly about their lived experiences. I was hoping that lemmy would be a better space for this kind of thing.
I know, it’s disappointing. The nice thing is how fantastically supportive so many men have been, I’ve had a few DMs and really nice comments from them. It’s just the bad are so awful
You’re on lemmy.world, they’re the default landing zone but imo there is better moderation on dbzer0 and others. Keep looking around and report stuff you see if it’s hate content. Good luck…
Reddit got threatened by a billionaire Nazi. Reddit caved to said billionaire Nazi.
When you make a new account it’s asks you for some of your likes. Sports, gaming, memes… Turns out Elon Musk is his own interest as well.
Oh good I’m not alone in believing something weird is going on like AI moderation. Random old account I had I wasn’t even using got a notification it was permabanned for violating a rule. No definition of which rule. Tried asking. Just a repeat that I violated a rule with no definition of which rule.
It must be just bots on there now.
no your not, i noticed it was odd that i wasnt recieving the incident of the ban, like they usually give if you get banned. but its just AI message and autorejection. and then the last thing, other accounts i havnt used years ago is banned too.
additionally, i had recieved a temp ban prior but it somehow triggered this.
Thanks,
I think I’m now just super creeped out at the thought of an entire site that is just AI bots now, updooting and responding to each other.
Or maybe I should be relieved. I was checking some of the stuff over there lately and I’ve just been getting sad and depressed about how stupid people have been getting.
Although it is Weird that Elon is getting offended by bots tho. Apparently he’s been asking spez to get rid of the mean dems saying bad things about him.
he partially the reason there was a purge in januarary.
Elon whined to the admins, reddit is completely run by fascist bootlickers lmao. You can’t even shit talk dusty evangelicals for being the amoral murder rapists they are without getting a site wide ban
I’m just there for the porn, these days. Any sort of meaningful interaction with people happens elsewhere.
Uh… no offense, but why go to Reddit for porn when there’s PornHub, Xvideos, and Jizzle?
I have specific interests.
Yep, also told off Nazis. Then, perm banned. I’ve been on that site for 15 years, moved over to Lemmy. Fuck Reddit.
i recieved a temp ban for reporting trolls on r/tech because they said " i reported too many people", which my understanding based on other reports it was going to be permabanned anyways after the temp ban was lifted.
I was permabanned twice for speaking favorably of a certain green-capped man.
Don’t worry, you can say Luigi Mangione here.
And say Luigi Mangione’s glorious name I will.
How dare you blasphemers.
It’s “Saint Luigi.” Get it right!
I preferred green mario
I’d say the most recent major influences were the IPO and the emergence of LLMs.
Reddit becoming a publicly traded company and the preparation to do so certainly initiated a major shift in its priorities.
Ai and large language models make it easier than ever to create shiny, but low quality content.
And the rest is just reddit becoming more mainstream leading to an overall shift towards banal rather than niche topics.
i said they are following the facebook method, FB is now mostly AI using old accounts pushing right wing propaganda, i only see reddit will do the same eventually. or they try to look like a"both sides" type of site while allowing signicant astroturfing from russian trolls.
I suspect they have been tweaking the front page algorithms to bury niche posts. Niche subs that I already follow don’t seem to have changed, but r/popular and r/all have definitely lost their spark.
pushing r/conservatives, and any sub that talk about politics to the front was pretty obvious of the manipulation. Also the “baiting subs” like glowups, gym is there too.

Enshittification happened, a long time ago.
I canceled my reddit premium account a few months ago. I was shocked at how numerous and annoying the ads are.
You might be the first guy I’ve heard who paid for premium
People paid for premium??
People use the internet without ad blockers??
You think it’s bad? Go look at “popular” while you’re not logged in (no subs / filters). It’s shocking how insipid the experience is.
Just looked. It’s basically Trump, Trump, vapid stuff, Trump, vapid stuff, vapid stuff, Trump on repeat
Going to the new section at night really shows how overridden the site is with bots.
Me, too. 12 year account, 900K+ Karma. I was looking forward to crossing the million mark this year.
At first I was concerned about having fewer people on Lemmy, but for things like Politics, the quality of discourse is far higher than Reddit. Every Reddit post is filled with puns, idiots, trolls, Russian propaganda farmers, etc., all of which are far smaller or non-existent on Lemmy.
I still miss Reddit’s active guitar subs, though.
Loved r/huskers the one here on Lemmy exists but it’s pretty dead
its the astroturfing from the russian trolls
You need to delete all of your content ASAP because 12 year account can be 100% tied back to you. Everything you said and all of your history data might as well be public on the web with your name right now so you should keep that in mind.
Its laughably easy to tie accounts to identities these days with machine learning tools and 12 years of data is a lot.
they retroactively banned accounts because of that.
not sure I follow? Your new account gets banned? You need to create it on a new ip and clear browser data. The easiest way to do that:
- Clear your browser data for the page entirely (best to make a new browser profile).
- Use celular hotspot for mobile network IP. These are highest value IPs as they are residential and shared between a pool of people. Very difficult to fingerprint.
- Create account with an email and details you have not used before.
- Use that setup for a while then switch to a VPN.
This is a very effective anti-fingerprint strategy that will get you over 99% of fingerprint systems and allow you to make as many accounts whenever you want.
Can you ever use the app again?
my guess would be that fingerprint on modern phone would still not be reliable enough at reddit scale if app is properly cleared and used the steps above.
I got a 3 day site wide ban for saying that without due process, these ICE guys are just racking up hundreds of kidnapping and trafficking charges in a sane world. The ban said I was threatening violence. I’m done with Reddit.
I figure they have AI chatbots making the decisions and it can’t
termtell the difference between talking about violence and advocating for violenceOr underpaid and overworked and possibly non native speaker human contractors
most of them use bots, the mods admitted to using those and they dint care if it gets random people or not(wether the context of the reporting was offensive or not), they believe it gets rid of them having to deal with it personally. i was looking at the modhelp, and help subs.
It really seems like it. I had all my posts wiped for the night when I got banned. It bothered me that my posts in r/lockpicking got wiped after I made a post in /r/news. I just said ICE agents should be concerned with the amount of kidnapping and trafficking charges that they could see if sanity takes back over because it’s getting into the thousands. Mods said that was violent talk and I was banned. I’ll miss r/lockpicking. It was a fun community.
Considering that the US is a fascist dictatorship now, pigboy is a fascist, and r/conservative gets boosted to the front page, it’s likely a non trivial number of mods and admins are paid intelligence operatives acting on behalf of Russia, fascists/conservatives, and corporate lobbyists.
When I got banned for ‘promoting violence’ they said that the ai had flagged it, but a human had confirmed it. The humans are just as fucking clueless about context.
The human automated their job with AI and is just collecting a paycheck
Living the dream.

I got permabanned just for participating in /r/enoughmuskspam. We figured out Musk frequented the sub, and as an active member who mocked him daily, I had a feeling it was coming. I’m fairly sure he flagged me and other users for permabans.
Their excuse was that I said (((Soros))) to a Nazi MAGA claiming Soros was funding all the protests, which wasn’t at all true. Why is that a bannable offense? Never seen censorship like that on the net in my life
My suspicion is that it’s happening a lot and that they want to turn Reddit red like they did with Twitter. Musk and Reddit’s CEO are pals.
That was a honeypot to ban anyone critical of Musk, and corporations in general.
I fell for it, too.
You didn’t fall for it, you were shown what the site really is and made a good switch to a better website.
musk monitors reddit , since hes on xitter all the time. he has the time, because hes high on cocaine or adderall to give him that energy.
