Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.

    After 12 years and over 900K Karma, I got permanently banned for repeating an opinion that I’ve posted many times over the past decade. Then Trump gets elected, and the exact same opinion gets me a permaban.

    Now I’m hearing that they are banning people for UPVOTES! I wondered why Reddit had decided to throw in with the Nazis, and I this week I see in the news that Ohanion wants to buy TikTok. The new owner of TikTok will be personally chosen by HitlerPig, so Zuckerfuck has been kissing up, and now Ohanion wants in on it. HitlerPig will award it to whomever kisses his ass and pays him the most.

      Reddit doesn’t want users participating in the site. They want eyes looking at ads and that’s it. Look, don’t touch. We’ve got bots for touching.

      Lurkers are more lucrative than posters.

      I created my first Reddit account in over a decade and was shadowbanned almost immediately. I didn’t even get a chance to post a semi-“controversial” opinion! The site is total garbage these days.

      That’s the problem with these corporations — the foundation is rotten, and they have no principles beyond more money. It has been this way for some time.

      Now, we have an economy where the arbitrary whims of billionaires and our king is the main determinant of their share price. This is how Reddit kisses the boot.

      They would exhume my grandmother if it increased share price by one tenth of one percent.

    People saw this coming from miles away since the rumors came out of reddit going for an IPO.

    Question is why people keep getting outraged?

    Reddit currently has a beastiality sub. They don’t allow real images obviously but people post hentai and fish for more. In the comments, they give each other advice/describe their activities.

    Reddit doesn’t care.

      I’m afraid to say that’s not even the worst thing I’ve seen on Reddit and know continues to exist there. This is about bending over and showing their fealty to billionaires.

        I mean the founder was the mod of /r/jailbait for years, if that’s what they had out in the open I don’t want to know what they have semi hidden

          There is a disgusting underside that I don’t want to get into. Let’s just say that Reddit clearly doesn’t care that much about policing content. It’s only this topic in particular that they cannot condone. Criticizing billionaires is where they draw the line.

          It disgusts me.

    I love how in r/conservative and r/antiSemitismInReddit (Ignore the name, they mean anti-neozionists and are willing to shame Jews who protest against Israels actions as well, they even have a tag for them), they always complain about reddit being biased against them when it is quite the opposite. Take Jibrish, bringing his Eve Online gaslighting and trolling from the r/eve community to the r/conservative community, also running around shamelessly in r/RedditSafety. Reddit is effectively Silicon Valley psyop, meant to gather data and keep an eye on the tendency of the more educated lot on the Internet (as well as keep them in pro-neozionist bubbles by pushing them in major subreddits like r/worldnews).

    Hell, read or search about maxwellhill on YouTube. Some have taken that the fact that the account has logged in for private chats as having disproved that claim when all it proves is that someone, albeit lawyer, family member, or otherwise, has logged into the account. What can’t be disputed as a conspiracy theory and can be easily confirmed is that Ellen Pao, former Reddit CEO, revealed Ghislaine Maxwell who along with Epstein essentially ran that, a Silicon Valley psyops, was present at the same Silicon Valley Christmas celebrations as her and other influentials. This is the level of manipulation, where there is money there will be a will to manipulate.

    Reddit has absolutely no problem complying or letting US federal authorities and intelligence agencies access to all of the information they gather on your account on their backend. There used to be subreddits where you could report moderators, “karmawhores”, who trolled and abused their power. They were banned from the platform even after complying far more than other subreddits that got to remain. Forget pointing out the genocide of Palestinians, there was a time where you would even get banned from worldnews for calling cryptoscams confidence games. After Trump’s first term and the T_D disaster, the conversation seemed to shift from that failed insurgency (at the time) to a reddit spearled meme stock economic destabilization attempts. Reddit is subjecting yourself to be manipulated for the opportunity to participate in some communities, and they know it.

    Permanently banned last week. Mods didn’t care for my thoughts on Luigi and Trump/Musk (they’re joined at the hip AFAIC, except Trump is definately the bottom, despite his diaper issues), and the madness of MAGA. Reddit is firmly in the facist camp, just like Timmy Cook, i.e. they will follow the money and the power; their capitalist instincts are pure. Fuck them all.

    I don’t appreciate the Luigi praise or the DOGE leaks, either, but I recognize that I’m in the minority on Lemmy (lol) & idk to a certain extent I respect freedom of speech. The DOGE email leak is public info, in that it was leaked to the public…

    In any case, we’re all in agreement: R!ddit deserves to die. Just because they were the first runaway success public forum doesn’t mean they own it forever. Especially when they shit the bed, suppress freedom of speech, kill 3rd party apps, & farm out user data for AI scraping.

    Its truly nuts over there. I have now had 5 different accounts perma banned and im tired of evading their fingerprinting just to bypass each pan for similar comments. Like nothing that the general public would find controversial even remotely.

      It’s crazy to think how hard people work to evade the system that is designed to get you to leave.

      Like, it speaks to the addictive nature of social media. How many hours? How much research? How many different angles of attack? All to… what? Shout “Donald Trump is a bad president” into the void amid a sea of bots and /r/HailCorporate influencer accounts? (Incidentally, RIP HailCorporate).

      I had my first from 2012 to about the 2020’s then I went two more mains before I fucked off for good. I might go back for certain niche uses but even then I might not. It’s been a long while and once this place picks up steam we’re gonna leave spez’s disaster in the dust

    I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that the RDDT stock price has dropped 40% in the last month, and it’s not surprising. That site is a sinking ship.
