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.

Reddit is so very confused.. (lemmy.world)

So yesterday I received a 7-day ban for 'encouraging violence', for saying that Luigi Mangione did not deserve to go to jail. It was obviously bullshit, somebody got a little hair-trigger on the new directive from ~~Der Fuhrer~~ spez or something, so I appealed. That appeal was reviewed and the temp ban lifted and the 'offending' comment restored, but 11 hours prior to that I got another message that I had been perma-banned for violating Reddit's rules with my 'other account(s)'. Well that's also bullshit because I've had exactly one (1) account in the 14 years I've been on reddit, so I appealed that too, and thus we get to the cherry on top: I am no longer banned, I can post and such again, but they sent me the above message saying that my appeal had been denied and that the perma-ban was staying in place. But rather than linger in reddit limbo, I think I'm gonna switch permanently to lemmy. 14 years worth of curating subs will suck to redo, but oh well, life is change.

Welcome, glad to have you aboard!

Thanks, glad to be here!

Your not the only one, I heard others were reddit banned soon after their temp ban ended

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was perma-banned 11 hours before my temp-ban appeal was lifted. Then I was unbanned, but they sent a message saying my ban would stay. I think they're just falling over themselves in their headlong rush to embrace fascism.

I got permabanned for saying “trans women are women”, which they said was encouraging violence. So who even knows what’s happening there at this point.

I got banned for asking why someone’s comment was banned. Crazy shit over there.

Reddit. Doesn't. Want. Active. Users.

It wants bots. It wants HailCorporate promotional accounts. And it wants your eyeballs to look at their ads. It doesn't want you to participate in any meaningful way.

Stop using the site. Stop pretending this site is intended to be used by real people. Be glad they're doing this and not simply baiting you along with fake interactions while you've been shadowbanned and left to unwittingly scream into the void.

[–] WaitThisIsntReddit@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Absolutely. Reddit has been shit for a long time, I'm glad they banned me, it was a nice push to stop using that garbage website.

Simple solution: don't go on that shithole unless it's to repost content here

Same man, I've been on Reddit pretty much since 2005.

It seems like such a waste of 20 years of doom scrolling, imagine if I'd put that time into learning a trade, or another language...

[–] el_muerte@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Funny thing about that is nobody at work looks twice if I'm leaning back and obviously doomscrolling on my phone, but spend fifteen minutes on Codewars and every person who walks by my desk is all suspicious...

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That's not how brains work, they need time to unwind, so you would've just found some other method to do that.

Yeah, I was on Reddit for over a decade. And the changes especially in these past couple years have been so dramatic. I received a seven day band today for like the third time and finally deleted the app and here I am . No looking back.

[–] courageousstep@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’ve basically abandoned Reddit as well. I’ve been on for so long, but this bullshit makes me feel unsafe. If the platform is going to so blatantly side with those who would happily let me die for a few dollars (health insurance companies), then I don’t need to give them my attention or data anymore.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Welcome to Lemmy. Outside of niche subjects and local content I think this place has everything reddit does but with less bullshit. If people keep making the switch in large numbers we'll build all those communities too and be better off for it.

[–] courageousstep@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I used the tool where I could import my Reddit subs to find similar communities here, and it surprised me how many communities I was a part of that the Reddit algorithm never let me see posts from. Also, it highlighted how much more infrastructure there is to build here. It’s exciting! Like the creative energy of expanding the Wild West but without the decimation of entire indigenous communities and the murder of innocent people and animal species.

Luigi is a hero

It is too much pressure for Reddit to have this many users. They're doing their best to get rid of them. It's just too much to handle... Poor Reddit

Help Reddit's well-being by leaving it and join Lemmy today!

Welcome to the Fediverse! If you've been on Reddit for 14 years, you were attracted to what it once was. Lemmy is that, but a whole lot better, and your skills as a moderator will be highly valued here. In fact, if you are looking to start up any new communities hmu and I'll see about giving you a hand.

Also, here's your obligatory Saint Luigi blessing for the banned:

remember kids:

A place in heaven is reserved for those who speak truth to power

Welcome reddit refugee!! Best time to ditch reddit was in july 2023 second best time is now

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What happened in July 2023? Was that the APIpocalypse? That didn't really affect me cause I barely use mobile.
