Because they are Nazi sympathizers.
Tesla is losing a pile of cash, anyone know how low it needs to go until Musk is going to get a margin call and the whole thing comes crumbling down? He has leveraged himself to the max.
Perma banned for a mild comment on some post about billionaires… oh well
I deleted my reddit account yesterday. I used Revedit and I realised that most of the comments I had made on there had been removed or hidden without me ever realising…
I deleted my account yesterday too, I came to Lemmy on the API Exodus and very occasionally checked Reddit but never came around to delete my account until now. Same with my Twitter account.
This is so sad to see. I had many years of fun on reddit. I wish it wouldnt have become so commercialized. Money just ruins shit too often
wait, you mean ash cans and unobtainable dollars aren’t the thing we should all be aspiring to?
There should be a law that when you go public ipo you have to change your brand name. It ain’t Reddit anymore.
I just deleted my reddit account. 🤟😎
Same. Too much censorship, too many bots
Reddit sure loves to protect U.S. fascists.
all the big media corporations do. so weird. probably a coincidence.
Just the US ones?

Deleted my Reddit account after more than a decade today.
I love the simple brilliance of “Elon Musk is a bellend”, nothing more really needs to be said.
It’s become pretty clear that Reddit has chosen to slide into corpo-fascism. Don’t be surprised when signs of dissent are squashed, when rebellious subreddits are systematically suppressed until they’re removed entirely, when the accounts of those who resist are closed and IP banned. Abandon all hope of free expression there, they’ve chosen their side and aren’t going to entertain the opposition any longer.
This is the advantage of decentralized platforms like Lemmy. One billionaire can’t screw things up for millions of users. They would have to take over all 600 Instances in many different countries to control it.
And then someone would just make a new instance or platform anyways lol
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.
Reddit’s doctrine of Free Speech.
lol. this is the company that to this day makes zero mention of Aaron Swartz as a cofounder.
The Left has used and abused “Nazi” so much in recent years that it doesn’t really mean anything more than, ‘someone I don’t like’.
So what, do we have to call it Sparkling Fascism now when the unelected bureaucrat does a literal Nazi salute?
Go on, make a nazi salute and tell us how you’re definitely not a nazi.
as opposed to right winger saying “disagreeing with everyone makes you nazi, when said person says nazi stuff?”
Did you miss the bit with the nazi salutes?
Reddit is a Nazi web site.
Reddit is run by Nazis*
…so it’s a Nazi website.
You know how the Germans see it. " If there are 4 people at the table and one of them is a nazi, then there are 4 Nazis at the table"
I see MAGA the same way.
Elon The Musky Husky needs a bath.
Yup. Also got my account suspension due to “suspicious activity” on “upvoting and engaging with discriminatory and violent content”.
Meaning I upvoted posts condemning US’s current position, and correcting the swarm of misinformation by US shills.
Glad I finally managed to nuke my entire reddit history and delete my account. F’ that toxic cesspool. R/Europe and other euro-canadian subs already felt like more US and Russian shills were active than actual europeans or canadians.
I had all my comments admin removed that were criticizing Russia from an academic perspective and academic tone. I even cite and quote well respected interns relations journals that are totally neutral to traditional conservative in leaning. Nope.
What’s so utterly bizarre is that the “conservative” community on Reddit keeps blasting that it’s “ultra-left.” If plainly stating “Russia’s war time economy is something I don’t like” is “ultra-left” then I am fucked and probably already on a list haha
As soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, I was permabanned after 12 years and almost a million Karma. I was sad at first, but more and more, Reddit is filled with bots, trolls, punsters, novelty accounts, and plenty of other nonsense. 50% of most comment sections were bullshit, and its been increasingly difficult to have a good faith discussion without it breaking down because of a flood of bad faith contributions.
I’ve come to terms with the idea that im better off. Without vigorous discussion, what good is Reddit?
Precisely that. If a forum meant for discussion has its credibility compromised, what good is it as a discussion platform?
It’s one thing disagreeing with one’s PoV or not tolerating actual aggressive/toxic behavior. It’s another entire thing to censor opinions written with civility and arguments, or allow for bots to derail any meaningful discussion and demotivate/shame people for what they believe in. En masse, at that.
I am willing to learn another person’s PoV if it differs from my own - heck, if they make a compelling argument and present facts I had not considered I might even change my stance on the subject.
But simply discussing in bad faith and relying solely on insults or disinformation, plus an unwillingness to also consider other people’s PoV is not the way to reach common ground on differing positions. That’s when I realize that person is playing around and I might as well not give them their fix of dopamine.
i felt like r/europe was very “r/politics”-like, i distinctly remember one of my old acc was banned from there from a certain comment about ukraine, right before the banning madness began. and then one of the ukraine subs, r/ukraine or ukrainewareport was also getting more restrictive.
