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.
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 !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al
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.
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…
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
Capitalistic facism aka enshittiffication.
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
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.
Enshittification happened, a long time ago.
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
Shitty moderation, biased mods, oh well
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.
I mean a lot of things happened to Reddit.
The most recent obvious decline was allowing AI moderation. That’s when I finally checked out.
Yup. No description other than ‘you violated the rules’ and you’re supposed to guess which rule. It’s like dating a gaslighting sociopath.
it was pretty obvious when in feb, everyone was getting the AI ban message left and right, and on all your old accounts too. and then comes the luigi/violence banning, plus musk interference. and now SHADOWBANNINg at random for anything, its just to keep the user numbers low on the site. for normal users, and not spammers(of fans, links) instant ban for some, and then they accidentally commented ina sub where it might have requirements.
I just got banned for saying that if RFK doesn’t believe in germ theory we should dust him with anthrax and see what he says, lol.
Left about 3 months ago, has not been missed.
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 use the internet without ad blockers??
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 violenceWhen 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.
Or 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.
I had a 13 year old account I simply stopped using in 2023 when compact.reddit.com was killed and the API changes fees were introduced. Lemmy was “good enough” get to get what I was getting from reddit. I stopped using reddit and haven’t posted since.
I did the same, but kept the account, just never log into it.
I deleted my accounts.
Burn that fucking bridge baby.
Your data is still there for Reddit to monetize.
Overwrite all your old posts with a protest message. Wait a day. Repeat. Wait a week. Repeat. A month, repeat. Then delete shit. Going back to undelete a random post managed in this manner will be too costly for them.
Downside is that I have yet to find a script that actually catches everything. All the well-known scripts miss a lot, likely on account of their limitations.
Reddit got threatened by a billionaire Nazi. Reddit caved to said billionaire Nazi.
