The thought police have been running roughshod over us since the Orange Idiot took over. You know what that means.
Hello folks! Found out I was banned this morning and spent all day trying to figure out an alternative. All for liking a post that said Trump raped a girl. Oh well. He did rape a girl so wtf?
Same here! My second 7-day site-wide suspension, I’m guessing ban next. I got flagged with warnings for upvoting something related to Luigi as “violating the rules by upvoting hate posts.” It’s like fucking 1984 over there now.
US out Ukraine in!
To me, getting banned from Reddit (without being a dick) it’s a medal of honor. Guess I’ll have to try harder…
I went out with a bang. Coincidentally, implying that such things should happen to the Muskrat and pedophile dictator too.
The latter getting a golden pager from Netty the Butcher was my highlight snark. And telling off the idiots at LSC was a good bit of satisfaction for myself.
I miss being able to interact with certain smaller subreddits for particular interests, but that’s about it.
I genuinely don’t know if there’d be enough of a following to see an active Blakes 7 group over here. That’s my biggest loss tbh.
Not too hard anymore. Say Luigi or upvote Luigi a day you’re getting the ban hammer.
They turned “woke”, eh?
Reddit has indeed enshittified.
so…trump and musk want russia to take Ukrain and then all of Europe after that i take it.
Whatever Putin wants, Trump wants.
Trump is a disgusting pervert anyway. He’s been with Epstein and just bends over to Putler. If his knees, small hands, and tiny dick still can handle it, that is.
It’s why I’m here. 12 year member, nearly a million in karma, perma-banned for repeating a statement I’d made many times in the past with no repercussions. The first time I repeated it after HitlerPig stole the election, I was fully banned.
It’s happening because Ohanion wants to buy TikTok, and he knows HitlerPig will be personally making the decision, based on who smooched his ass the most, and who paid the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he’s volunteering to make Reddit a member of the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
I hope Reddit goes the way of Digg.
This feels very much like the migration from tiktok to rednote. Hi everyone.
But without the Chinese censorship (as long as you stay away from tankie instances).
I haven’t noticed any censorship yet, but then again, I’m not talking shit about China.
There are a lot of instances. Some are more lax than others. I’d recommend avoiding world, it’s best if you lot spread out.
Reddit full bore banned me for saying “I should have a legal right to punch nazis” and declined my appeal.
Reddit is unironically nazi aligned and that’s not a joke it’s terrifying.
I haven’t been full banned yet but have grown tired of the amazing levels of stupidity. I caught a temp ban for incivility for writing “Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment.”
I find that answer amazing and I will adopt it from now on to all the orange guy followers, cheers
Go forth with my blessings.

To be fair, that’s kinda deserved. You could experience the same here.
There are plenty of other reasons to hate on Reddit, but acting in a fairly civil manner should be expected.
Glad to have you here though! 😊
Banning people who aren’t “safe spacey enough” is fucking stupid.
People can be abrasive. People can be mean. People will absolutely take your shit if you let them.
Hiding from them in a bubble doesn’t make them disappear (and shockingly sometimes they have points to make).
Reddit is aligned with the corporate overlords of the US, which are nazi aligned.
Most people agree punching nazis is fine, very few people agree on who is and isn’t a nazi.
It is precisely because useful clueless idiots are constantly being classified as nazis that no one is taking accusations of actual nazis seriously. Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.

I’ve been hearing this for years, and yet, literal neo-nazis are running the us government now. But go ahead and keep using the anti-woke rhetoric lol.
Exactly! Literal nazis in government, calling them out does nothing! Very few people are taking it seriously.
Nazis thrive on diluting language—twisting words like “freedom” and “patriotism” to serve their agenda. Ironically, the same thing happens when “Nazi” gets thrown around carelessly. Mislabeling people weakens the term, but so does refusing to acknowledge real extremists. Precision matters—both in calling out threats and in resisting linguistic manipulation.
what a cop out. there’s no functional difference between an idiot that works to advance nazi ideologies and the same but they have a swastika tattoo on their neck. to resist fascism means to confront ALL fascists. it’s not about disagreement or people you dont like, most people are using ur-fascism as their default definition and umberto eco has a fucking 14 point checklist we’re using. to act like it’s so arbitrary is completely out of touch.
Watch this: Luigi is a hero
.world mods would be very upset if we didn’t bully them into submission 😔
Just made an account here ten minutes ago. The format feels weird but it’s nice to be able to continue talking like sensible people without getting banned for it. Feels good, man.
If it’s any help, I use the sync app on android. I also used sync for reddit prior to the API thing which finally made me leave, so my experience is pretty much the same in terms of format. I agree it can feel weird in a browser but there’s a bunch of good mobile apps that might feel more familiar.
Just FYI the dev abandoned the app and core features still break when the new instance updates take place. Not to mention:
Tap for spoiler
They never fixed their spoiler markdowns.
We’re hereeeee! Also Luigi is a national treasure.
Feels like they promote lemmy the same way microsoft promotes linux
Basically yes. The alternatives passively become better simply because of the mainstream option becoming worse over time. I think it’s still going too slowly in general but I’m not complaining, better slow than not at all.
Better slow than too fast too. Lemmy feels like a nice fairly small community. I’m not sure that’ll continue once it’s the size of Reddit. We’ll get more content and niche communities will be better served though, so there’s pros and cons.
Once you hit a certain size you become a tempting target for bots, spammers and trolls. Managing that is going to be a challenge.
Why was OP banned?
Great introduction to Lemmy, might as well teach people we’re no better than reddit
Fucking disgusting internet janitors
Why was OP banned?
Underage user.
Permabanned after nearly 12 years. Forgive me for hating Nazi’s. I’d made the statement fuck all Nazi’s but six several times but this time was this time I got automod flagged. They are pretty much flagging the word Nazi regardless of context or overall statements made. The same goes for the word Luigi. Also, Karma is basically useless considering downvoting too much can also lead to a ban. It is pretty ridiculous. I’d never been banned once for any reason except for the last 6 months where I’ve been sub banned or gotten 3-7 day bans several times for making points about the sorry state of affairs in America lately. Forgive me for not bowing to kiss the fascist MAGA ring. Reddit has really put profits over people this time with these stupid rules and no real care in reading appeals or looking at context during moderation. It is all for their bottom line and oligarch investors now.
you can get flagged or astroturfed for calling out people trying to sanewash nazis, usually its the statement"You should not call everyone a nazi you disagree with" type of post.
Yep. The whataboutism and trying to play the both sides are wrong shit is so old. I think it is fair to say that a large portion of the Democratic party are gutless centrist DINO’s, can’t get their point across, can’t get a coalition going, and have no real power or momentum right now, but to try and argue that they are as bad as the conservatives is complete nonsense. Certainly, no party is perfect but to even try to say they are equivalent is folly of the highest order. Many in the republican party are fascists and I’m sick of people pretending that they aren’t. Nuanced conversation is lost on the bots, AI slop, and the rest of the idiots on Reddit.
Interesting. My 10 year old account also got perma banned for telling someone defending the third Nazi salute to “go to hell”.
Apparently I should have told them to “go fuck themselves”. But telling them to “go to hell” was inciting violence or whatever.

I like how “go to hell” inciting violence implies that hell is a real place or something lol
Anyone else see Reddit’s stock tank 20% yesterday?
if it goes below 100 then I’m gonna celebrate

When something big becomes privatised, it’s the start of the end. When that company goes public, its enshittifcation always will commence. What I am going to say right now may come as a shock, but I shall go.
Companies care only about stakeholders and no one else.
Fascism has only one answer: to end it. Luigi has shown us how that can be effectively done. Other and more peaceful methods are always preferable, but fascists themselves try to seize the nation.
Consider that they’re busy censoring you, and have been busy trying to mislead you into thinking that queers, Jews, Muslims, or immigrants would be the “woke” or “stealing” enemy.
Consider then, that those groups I mention, also hate censorship of their lives. They want to live in peace and don’t care about what you do.
We have a shared enemy: the pedophilic oligarchs, called Trump and Musk’s cabinet and every billionnaire.
