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.

    14 year old account for me. Mod of a million plus sub. 700k karma. Built fucking subreddits into real communities. Banned over a joke I made for a decade. Reddit is dying and we now have a new federated home.

    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.

    I'm here because I replied to "let's not give them an inch" with "let's give them 9mm" and was permanently banned from politics, no recourse. That's the most left leaning sub on the website.

    When they took API access away I was pissed but I stayed. But taking away my free speech, seriously? They can go fuck themselves.

    I remember years ago there was an article about a cop who said he wanted to shoot AOC for being a dumbdumb meanie head or something. Top comment said the cop should be fired. I added "out of a cannon" and got permabanned for "inciting violence" like bruh

    I guess you didn’t hear how they were taking down Reddit alternative posts during the API debacle. They were already crossing the line then.

    Truthfully, I didn't switch until recently because it didn't affect me directly. I eat meat and I know it's bad too. But now it's just too inconvenient to use and almost no benefit compared to Lemmy. Literally even my local city is a community here.

    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.

    you made acct at a bad time, they went hard on banning people last month, and ive been hearing on other sites that they were banned almost immediately after commenting once on reddit as a new user, thier bot sensitivity filter is so high, that any comment that was removed was considered a "spam activity".

    Gotta love the appeals process of submitting a form and getting absolutely zero response or indication of status. Appeals going straight into a garbage can with no one reading them lmao

    ever since trumps first term, thier ban have been come very heavy handed against left leaning comments more so than right wingers, i pointed it out so many times over the years that this was happening. there was suspicion that r/politics was taken over by a right winger, that wanted to seem like both sides, its pretty obviously who was getting banned and what was getting posted.

    Remember when CTH got banned when users spoke up in support of slaves who rose up and killed their masters? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

    Don't leave us in suspense - what was the opinion?

    I said that the traitors in the White House are lucky that we are such a tolerant country. In many other countries in the world, and even more in the past, on the evening of January 6, 2021, after their Insurrection failed, HitlerPig and all his henchmen would have been dragged out onto the White House lawn, and publicly executed.

    I've written that many times, but after the Inauguration, it got me banned.

    Now I’m hearing that they are banning people for UPVOTES!

    Only upvotes involving Mario's brother, so far. Presumably the "issue" being that he has too much support and the time between posting and it being moderated away it's getting enough votes to still have significant visibility which is what they're trying to avoid.

    What was the opinion that got you banned?

    After Jan 6, I said that those traitors were lucky America is such a tolerant nation. In many other nations (most of them, in the past), that evening, after the Insurrection had failed, HitlerPig and the rest of his henchmen and family, would have been dragged out onto the White House lawn and publicly executed.

    I wasn't condoning violence, just pointing out that he couldnt have gotten away with it almost anywhere else on the planet. I had written that comment, or similar, many times, but once HitlerPig was in office, and Reddit decided to kiss his feet, it became a permanent ban.

    I was seeing posts talking about this happening widely on Reddit, but now that I'm on Lemmy, it seems to be much worse than I suspected.
