News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

LMAO that's some jordan peterson shit.

ANOTHER prick with connections to Russia, btw.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 49 minutes ago

I’ve been really pushing the limit on reddit recently to see if I get banned.

Maybe it’s an llm or something, I have not gotten banned yet for saying stuff like “This is a test. Luigi is a god. Shoot all the billionaires and eat the rich. Throw Molotovs at Tesla shops” And so on.

Nothing yet.

I’m not making a point here, just contributing some data. My account is 4 years old, with about 1k karma.

Because it's seen as violence to do anything that negatively impacts the wealthy despite their daily economic violence against everyone else in society. This is why they call the Tesla boycott "illegal".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

Their violence is a lot more than economic... Making poor people lived the way they do is a lot more than just economics.

The quote is not wrong, however, Elon is neither harmless nor peaceful. He's dangerous and a violent fascist

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 minutes ago* (last edited 9 minutes ago)

Ofc it's wrong. You can be peaceful and harmless.

Musk is a moron.

Edit: The more I think about it, the wrong-er/stupider it gets.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Its funny because I remember when the republicans and trumpers would all join together and attack any form on censorship and used that as a launching pad for attacking the left. And these attacks built this momentum that eventually resulted in my grandmother talking about how the left is pro censorship and must be stopped. Like how is grandma hearing about this shit. Like there was no room to give an inch.

But I feel like there isn't that same energy on the left. Like instead we all just look at this and go "huh, that's a bummer. They're stupid"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

I see this as him saying there's an open invitation for Luigi to meet with him,.if there was a willing participant.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Agreed, unless you're capable of great violence you're weak. When you see a tyrant, a capitalist, or a cop do you sit by or do you fight for peace? Thats why every pacist should be willing to punch Muskrat and any other tyrant right in their fascist face.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I got my second ban from saying "Burning peoples cars who bought them because they wanted to help the environment is not helpful, and Elon already got paid for those anyway. Don't really give a shit if you burn the dealerships but we can do better than this" now I am here, lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 28 minutes ago

I have no idea what I did, and they didn't tell me.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 hours ago

My 10 year old account without previous infractions was banned for saying the rich don't have the resources to protect themselves in the event of a revolution lol

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Lol a friend of mine got banned for posting a picture of a guillotine and referencing billionaires. The broligarchy has gone full gloves off wrt threats to their hegemony

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

After 12 years, and nearly a million karma, i was permabanned right after HitlerPig was inaugurated, for repeating an opinion that i have stated many times. Nobody ever said a word until HitlerPig was in office, then suddenly I was permabanned. I came over to Lemmy, only to find i wasn't alone.

I suspect the reason is because Ohanion wamts to buy TikTok, and he knows that HitlerPig will be making the decision personally, based on who smooches his ass, follows his orders, and pays the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he abandons Reddit's doctrine of Free Speech.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

I was permabanned for "Making threats of violence" when I suggested a hypothetical scenario when people were talking about US/Russia/Ukraine affairs, that if a US President suddenly not only betrayed a friendly victim of an invasion and switched to giving direct aid to the aggressor when public opinon of that aggressor is in the toilet, that the US may end up with a dead president. (and this was pre-election)

I dont care that it happened anymore, because judging from the way things have gone, if that didnt get me banned, something else would have.

Reddit is captured, and even if it wasnt, the only thing its good for is the comedy/hobby sections.

everything else is just dumpster fires like the news and politics communities, or the freakshows you see in relationship advice, AmItheAsshole, AmIOverreacting, etc. and all the bad advice that gets given to them as well..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

How would you rewrite this so that it's less deuchbag and more accurate?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Getting banned from Reddit is Reddit doing you a favor.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

elon musk got a subreddit banned, because of "percieved threats"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 15 hours ago

Getting banned from reddit is doing yourself a favor. Leave that site and avoid looking back when possible. Trash site.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

It's almost like the person who wrote that text in the photo didn't actually understand what any of the words they were saying meant. Like actually. lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I've been told that musk didn't come up with that quote himself. I didn't look further into it, but it's likely that the person who originally wrote it understood what they were talking about, and musk just thought it sounded cool. Hell, I think it sounds cool, might use it in a villainous monologue or some shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 59 minutes ago) (1 children)

...i prefer the inversion: "when a good man goes to war, demons run."..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 30 minutes ago

ooooh, that's a good one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Oh he's just an idiot. It's a saying I live by so Nazis don't get to touch it. I wonder how many Tesla's exist in my town...

Elon does not deserve to reference dark souls.

Imagine being handed the black knight's halberd, with the stats to wield it, before asylum demon‽

That is fucking Elon!

[–] [email protected] 50 points 20 hours ago (11 children)

People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 53 minutes ago (1 children)

Lemmy still have mods. My comment regarding muskrat mental healt issues ("next step is suicide, please") was deleted. So don't fool yourself, when lemmy gets as much popularity as reddit, it will turn into the same kind of pos

[–] [email protected] 1 points 32 minutes ago

The point is that you can move elsewhere without losing access. There is no central control

[–] [email protected] 21 points 17 hours ago

We can't let billionaires own the town hall if we plan on having honest conversations. I am glad I finally found this place, and wish I would have left reddit earlier.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

I have had a much better time on Lemmy, but I'm kind of the target audience in a few ways, so I'm biased. But I do think less harmful, more productive discussion is more likely to happen on this platform, I feel more comfortable discussing and less likely to be called slurs or called out (rather than called in which is undeniably more effective, and coincidentally feels much more common on Lemmy), and I feel like I've actually found folks I could see myself working with in some capacity, such as a project to help others patch up their data vulnerabilities, for a simplified example of an idea I'm considering.

Welcome btw :)

So Luigi is peaceful then right, so why did the police go after him?
