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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

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.

What was the opinion that got you banned?

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 36 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 hours ago

Which community? I'll spend my unbanned account posting that you're over here on Lemmy.

Welcome aboard, the place is comfy and only really needs user numbers at this point.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 8 points 7 hours ago

that sub was, but it was taken over by a right winger that allowed astroturfing against the "left"

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

But do you think 'nine millimeters' would have passed?

[–] misteloct@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I could have said "let's give them 0.354 inches" but why bother. I did that for a few days but going on Reddit is the same as supporting them.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 44 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

i have adblockers on, so they never get ad revenue anyways.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago

Other than the sweet sweet LLM training comment money….

BUT NO ACTUAL POSTS! LEAVE THOSE FOR ADVERTISERS!

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 24 points 9 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

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".

[–] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] nodiratime@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

I'm pretty sure that appealing a temp ban (my 3rd, all in a short time) led to them issuing a permaban my account. None of the posts violated the rules they claimed.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Most of the main subs auto shadowban anyone that hasn't provided a verified email. So it's possible you're not banned site wide yet.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Shit, they perma'd me for constantly agitating in non leftist subs... I can't help it.

[–] MouldyCat@feddit.uk 6 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 5 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

They like pineapple on pizza.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 7 hours ago

Shit, that might get you banned here as well... /s

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Well, that is an actual war crime.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

China's not going to let tiktok fall out of their control. If it gets sold it will be to someone beholden to them.
