    I just came back from a 3 day ban. I was warned before. In the 10+ years I’ve been on reddit this has never happened to me. But whatever. Lemmy is a great alternative.

    I just recently found out Reddit has achievements. I don’t use their official apps or new desktop so I never saw them. When I see what Reddit looks like to most people it is so bizarre. Like completely different experience.

    Thank goodness Lemmy looks and feels the way it should.

    I recently deleted my active, 16-year-old, account after being told I was inciting violence simply by commenting that a particular GOP senator had himself to blame for an issue he was trying to pin on others.

    I hope I’m not the only one in here who nuked my Reddit account voluntarily after they started ramping up censorship.

    Basically, I saw what was coming and bailed off that site while I was still ahead.

    Reddit censorship is out of control. I got a warning about ‘violence’ today. My crime? I reported that the guy who is currently spamming every Australian mobile phone with messages about out the ridiculous Trumpet of patriots party is getting spammed back. I said “couldn’t happen to a nicer fascist”. Ffs.

    They keep sending me emails trying to get me to come back and I’m like “Unban my fucking account and I’ll think about it.”

    My ban was for “Abusing the report system”

    ie: Using it at all

      Reddit simply doesn’t want an active user base. They want passive viewers ingesting AI generated content. Much better for advertising revenue that way.

        they have been culling via shadowbanning for a month now, much more aggressively like with the ban purgews. they following FB model, which is AI generated rw content.

          they have been culling via shadowbanning for a month now

          Way more than months. This goes at least as far back as the 2016 kerfuffle over The_Donald, ChapoTrapHouse, and other increasingly popular outside-the-mainstream communities.

          Honestly easier to trace it back to 2012, when Reddit was gaining popular steam and doing lots of high profile AMAs. Shadowbanning was a great way to quash the mix of spam accounts and hecklers without letting the people running the accounts know they needed to roll up new ones.

            but it drastically increased last month, even compared to feb with all the site wide bans, shadowbans are more silent, so people dont notice it right away, reddit does this intentionally because they like being sneaky and tip people off.

            and yes starting 2017 on, thats where i recieved my 1st ban ever on a sub, before that there was no problems talking about politics without getting censured. but i noticed they are going to lowest hanging fruit, rather than the high profile spammers, because they usually know the instant they get shadowbanned anyways.

    My account just got suspended for mocking JD Vance in a joke thread. I appealed and got a permaban in response.

    It’s because they are sadistic, corporate bastards that need to be taken down! All corporate bastards need to be taken down.

    We don’t need corporations, we need all volunteer, donation-funded organizations.
