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.
Lemmy is what reddit used to be.
I’ve gotten permabans on multiple subs and also overall bans from reddit admin itself. Various reasons like pro-luigi comments, anti-trump comments, anti-israeli comments, pro-ukraine comments. Reddit is a propaganda platform now.
JFC… looks like Reddit is now only good for old Tech questions.
I am so close to deleting Reddit too, among all other American services I’ve been canceling since the beginning of the new year.
Yep. I am done with Reddit too. Just deleted my account after this bullshit.
Elon is haunting Reddit
Reddit is compromised.
I’m done as well. Fuck them.
Reddit has been compromised for a while now. 2016 opened them up. The API fiasco blew the door down. r/place exposed it and exploited Reddit for what it is. And we’re now seeing the new course of direction continue.
How did r/place expose anything?
Doesnt that kinda go against the whole point of r/place? Kinda fuckin stupid
Ok. Thanks.
Man the censorship is just vile too. It’s not like “Oh this incites violence” it’s “anything and everything that we and our shareholders don’t agree on is gone”.
Worst part is if any other countries went after them then they would just restrict it to US news.
Hey they got me long ago but permanently banned IP address maybe? Tried new numbers, new emails, and glad after the last few days
they also looked for same device, browser fingerprinting, behaviour pattern, reddits banning filters is the most aggressive of any social media, and site.
Lol same. I’m finally starting to realize it wasn’t a me thing. I’ve really disliked the general flow of reddit for a while but it’s just such an easy thing to open up and scroll through. Didn’t know alternatives like this existed
Classic capitalist gotcha. Turns out that prioritizing shareholders (a 3rd party leech entity unrelated to the operations or customers) is always going to lead to censorship. Like the generic “shareholder” needs stable status quo to figure out how to exploit the poors in most efficient way and violent revolt doesn’t guarantee a higher than inflation result. Modern capitalism in America is straight up a mental disorder similar to hoarding. You don’t need the money nor the stock but you’re willing to fuck over literally thousands of people for a minor gain. It should be studied … but studying this doesn’t help the bottom line so fuck any progress it’s death and destruction for %% daily return. Fuck all this
They are Streisand effecting the information though because the more they censor, the more people will talk about it. There’s already been a news article published by The Verge. It’s going to backfire so badly lmao.
Seeing that non-right sided medias are picking this up is good. Hopefully it builds more traction and if they can even say something as simple as “Lemmy is an alternative” we can see healthy growth. I know r/conservative is probably loving it but in the last month I’ve seen them advocate for more violence than any other subreddits. Yet they remain free and open. Gotta love how contradicting reddit has become since the blackout.
not contradicting at all if you consider them as part of the putin/musk propaganda apparatus
putins trolls control the sub, and the mods. not an accident why they are constantly on the front page all the time. and then theres the subs that “pretend to be both sides”
Reddit is compromised.
Elders of Lemmy:
Nothing much better here.
Today they canceled me one comment cause of a “Fuck Putin”, while arguing with a Russian troll.
Really thin skin. (on Europe@lemmy.ml).
Infinitely better here.
On Reddit they ban you, you’re done, you can’t use the site anymore.
Here some shitty tankies ban you, nothing changes, you can still access and use the thousands of other communities on other instances.
Well, ‘.ml’ doesn’t exactly stand for “Mildly Liberal.”
But unlike Reddit, you can block the entire .ml instance if you’d like.
In fact, if you don’t get along with .ml, do yourself a favor & block the Hexbear instance if your home instance hasn’t already.
I thought it was Milf Lovers…
I think it stands for mindlessly Lenninist.
Well, no, it’s the TLD for Mali
Also are hexbear still around? I don’t think I’ve seen them since the domain issue. Not sure of feddit.uk have defederated, I’ve been banned or they just don’t exist any more.
They set up a new version. Chapo chat or some such shit
It’s not perfect but the advantage here is you can choose whose administration you want to be subject to. Avoid the tankie instances and you’ll usually be OK. Lemmy.ml is particularly pernicious since it’s run by the developers and sort of masquerades as a general purpose instance–but it is hostile to any who don’t support their extremist ideology.
I say fuck Putin all the time and haven’t had any issues since I left that place.
Initially I thought it was a Russian troll, but probably they’re like my still communist friends. Russia bad (or may even not), but USA anyway worse. People without hope.
Yeah I think it’s generally genuine… just people who are stuck in a cult mindset.
Nothing much better here.
I’m sorry that you, who are a user of mine on feddit.it, make these unfounded statements.
Today they canceled me one comment cause of a “Fuck Putin”, while arguing with a Russian troll.
In here, each instance and each community are autonomous and therefore the sensibilities of moderators and administrators can also be different.
The most important thing is to read the rules of the community and those of the instance that hosts you. But if you believe you have been unfairly banned, you can contact the moderator presenting your arguments without victimism and without rancor.
Got banned today because I don’t think socialism would work in 2025 🤷.
I understand people can “Think different”, but a cirkle jerk of US socialists in 2025 sounds like a strabic unicorn with three legs and two horns.
Got banned today because I don’t think socialism would work in 2025 🤷
If you go to a UFO believer group and say we have no evidence of UFOs, then it is normal that you will be banned…
Well, you have a point there.
I mean, you probably understand that being a new user and already getting banned for small arbitrary stuff gives a “Reddit vibe”.
I must be honest, I haven’t read the rules yet cause I believe I can act like a civil person. A rule that states “do no promote hate”, can be streched to any ban if you want and that’s what Reddit or people in lemmy.ml are doing imo.
Anyway, it wasn’t such a big problem. I like Lemmy and thank you for the effort to make this place working.
If only lemmy posts showed up on search engines, reddit would be finished.
Some posts do show up on google but very few
Appeal to duck duck go?
There’s also slamming Reddit with more Lemmy talk. Maybe seed the standard Lemmy apps as Reddit apps and see what shakes out.
Have you all read 1984? First they will make thing illegal. Then they will hide away what is illegal. After that someone will learn something was illegal. Once they are found out, that illegal thing will be completely changed so there is no evidence anything was illegal to begin with.
I would not be shocked if try to scrub these bans so users can’t see if a community was banned.
Time to leave reddit altogether
Reddit may actually be doing a lot of people a big favor.
Today Trump’s DHS went out and arrested a Palestinian student at Columbia for participating at a protest a year prior. Our federal agents are becoming like the KGB- hunting down political dissidents.
I believe that is just a start. I think people would be wise to be careful about the things they post online. If you do post content you believe the administration may not like, I suggest making an anonymous account with an email not linked to your personal name.
I have a hunch that people will be arrested in the near future for posting things online.
That may be true. Still, don’t let them make you afraid. That’s the goal. They can’t arrest all of us.
For posterity, fuck you Donald Trump and fuck you Elon Musk. Send the goons after me and prove you have thinner skin than an apple.
Absolutely.
No, they’ll just arrest the most capable of organising, the people that fit their narrative, and so on.
They can’t arrest all of us should be rehashed to, they can’t unmask all of us.
On Tyranny lesson 1 "Don’t obey in advance’
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/us/politics/trump-democracy.html
Be careful what I post? Fuck that shit, rock the fucking boat and cause a mess. The US right now is a fucking disgusting place and we need to not be obeying in fucking advance and bowing down
They project strength, because they’re weak, they fear the strength of the masses, so they convince the individual they are disconnected and weak.
My account there is 19 years old and I’m starting to spend more time on Lemmy than I am Reddit.
My forum timeline’s been webcomic/livejournal forums > ytmnd & digg > reddit > lemmy
(Social media’s been Chat clients > MySpace > FB > Instagram > BeReal & Pixelfed)
Already happened bud, already happened.
You already did, didn’t you?
When you have to appease the share holders to make the most money, you need to dissuade everyone from exercising free speech they could inhibit shareholders from getting ad revenue from Nazi companies that support Nazi Reddit.
Aaron Swartz must he rolling in his grave to see how the open and free internet he co-owned and designed is now a corporate circle jerk cuck fest hell bent on sucking off Trump and the other oligarchs.
Dude! How the FUCK aren’t you triggered by 19 unanswered messages? I would have flipped my shit after 2!
Its message requests that I just ignore
Can you just mark them as read then? I can’t just be here living my life while random people on the internet have unread messages /s
Huh, seems my reddit app stopped working at the perfect time. Place will probably end up a shithole soon enough.
it’s been a shithole for many years. now it’s just a worse shithole filled with and run by nazis
Side note for anyone seeing this.
You can get a re vanced version of the app.
It basically gives you premium reddit for free.
