quit jamming quarters into a broken vending machine
I just had to ask something on a small community that doesn’t exist on lemmy :/
I was permanently banned for talking bad about the current sh*tshow of an administration we have here in the US
you can get the same kind of sanction on politics community(lemmy) too, there are so many anti-biden, anti-dems on that community as they were on reddit, it was astonishing. i had to block that community now.
I got banned during the first trump shit show for saying “fuck trump and Obama” for “inciting violence”
That’s not fair! It’s clearly a dumpster fire.
I would prefer the dumpster fire over what’s going on lately.
That’s weird, I haven’t used reddit for many years now, but it used to be clearly liberal/left leaning.
it still kinda, but whats change is turmp got elected, and then there was significant astroturfing from right wingers they are allowing, hence why people have been calling it turning to a right wing site now. especially you have to be careful around trump/musk, gaza/Luigi related comments.
then theres the general indiscriminate banning they are doing.
The CEO wants to monetize it more, sell more ads, sell your data, etc. So I’m sure that is part of the removal reasons
What does he have to sell, from what I can tell even in non political subs a lot of users I’ve known who posted have been permanently banned. From sports gaming and cooking subs.
It seems like reddit is just bots anymore. Actual traffic can’t be what it is like it’s heydey
It has definitely changed from what it was. They have been making deals to sell all the user reply threads to places like google for AI training. Maybe the bans are about “cleaning” their data model
That does not ring true, because controversy feeds engagement, and engagement increases overall activity and makes it possible to sell more ads.
So by that standard reddit should embrace the controversy as long as it’s legal.Not if you ad sponsors are right leaning
Yes, controversy feeds engagement, but advertisers don’t want to appear in the vicinity of certain content, too. So it’s a balancing act.
“Used to” is the important thing.
So is reddit right leaning now? That really weird to me, because they were a clear minority 8-10 years ago.
Although there were a few Trump subs, they were wildly unpopular and made fun of.Reddit is billionaire leaning now.
Ah well, good thing I left.
The regime don’t appreciate you, shit lord
Did you recently disrespect the genocide state or make a mena comment about Tesla tubby?
it seems its the reddit site filtering and not the subreddit, the reddit uses a much broader and indiscriminate filtering.
I wasn’t even polemic, I just commented a few times on some memes 😐
I just commented a few times on some memes
If that’s all it takes now to get the ban hammer, then we should see fedi numbers rise nicely this year.
Welcome to the island of misfit toys!
I love mena comments, people get Sooo confused. 😜
fine, i won’t fix it !
Sorry this happened to you. The Reddit we loved is evidently being intentionally reduced to yet another reactionary / fascist echo chamber, like Xitter.
I don’t know if Reddit’s board are just enthusiastic regime toadies, or if the regime has leverage over CEO u/spez Huffman in connection with his tenure as r/Jailbait mod. Either way, it’s not going back, so fediverse is the way forward.
I never thought the leopards would remove my post.
I had that too where i wanted to ask something to a specific game/technical? community that really had no other place where i could ask.
That they probably remove and flag messenges with words like “luigi” is bad, but that they block legit messanges is probably hurting the userbase and anyone that peeks back for that question that is hard to get an answer elsewhere
Feel you. Had that too and gave up
Did you skip their daily approved talking points meeting?
What’s “reddit”?
