Just read the article came here to post it and lookie here. Yeah man absolutely disgusting. I came over a few days ago after getting the 7 day ban for the exact things stated in the article. But then I told the Reddit team some colorful words, and they decided to permanently banned me. Fucking bootlickers

I got an upvote warning. That's why I'm here

a website that ostensibly prides itself on giving its users and communities a platform for free speech

lol come on now

The r/PublicFreakout team suggested that because of this public scrutiny, from both shareholders and government-linked figures like Musk, "Reddit is under serious pressure to get its userbase under control” and imposing whatever haphazard measures it can to accomplish this.

Lmao. This is currently the top post on /r/all. How's that control working out for you Spez?

It would be funny if we made one thread of praise for Luigi, and fill it with replies to all get banned at the same time. A huge drop in users all of a sudden, sounds fun.

I was just banned from Reddit for promoting Lemmy and upvoting anti-Trump comments. No joke 😂 It finally happened

It's a good sign actually. They're scared! It means the discourse can, and will, make a difference.

I’ve never regretted deleting my Reddit (paid) account. And every day brings more confirmation I did the right thing.

That's because 'Spez' (Spaz?) or whatever felt the fear. He knows he's being a shithead and probably believes that someone will be gunning for him if the rethoric is allowed to grow. It's a fearful bid for self-preservation.

I was a 12 year Redditor, with nearly 1 million Karma, so I was a major contributor for over a decade, yet I was recently perma-banned for repeating a perfectly normal anti-Trump/ anti-Insurrection opinion that I had previously stated numerous times with no warnings. Once Trump was elected, I was PERMANENTLY banned the next time I stated that opinion.

Ohanian has announced that he wants to buy TikTok, and everyone knows that TikTok's new American owner will be personally chosen by Krasnov, so hell want make the Sociopathic Oligarchs compete like dancing monkeys. Only those who have followed his orders, smooched his fat ass, and paid sufficient bribes will be considered. So they are combing through Reddit and banning anyone who might hurt HitlerPig's feelings.

At first I wasn't happy about the much smaller comment sections on Lemmy, but then I realized that it also isn't flooded with bots, trolls, endless stupid terrible puns, and overmoderation.

I’m just glad there’s a broader discussion about it, this is exactly what we need.

My guess is they want clean and aligned data to train AI. They’ll save time and money by getting people in line early, or banning those that don’t follow their rules.

Got banned multipe times for saying things like 'Lorena bobbit' or 'federal workers shouldn't take their jobs back if they get rehired' so...guess we'll see how long it'll take ya'll to get sick of me...😅

this is happening on tiktok too. I got a violation warning for criticizing tiktok on tiktok. They said I was "bullying." This is some social media shit that is happening across platforms. I know I am not making this up in my head.
