Still got my Reddit acct but yeah. I set up a Lemmy acct when I saw this. For insurance when the rest of Reddit fully enshitifies.
The one thing conservatives where right about: Reddit is a censored hellhole.
Is waluigi banned too or do I need to find another place to publish my slashfics?
This happened to me for posting “Italian Plumbers Unite!” I got a PERMANENT BAN! I appealed and they denied it.
What are they afraid of?
Advertisers, stock prices, inverstors and other stuff like that. As in “losing money”.
They’re really digging their own grave with this shit. Green mario got a lot of work ahead of him.
TBF it doesn’t automatically block or ban content, it just prompts moderation to review the post before it goes public. I approve of this, even though I don’t promote reddit for any use.
I got banned for posting the name Luigi and an animated gif.
What’s wild to me is apparently an endless supply of people are willing to work for free for Reddit as a moderator
As well as suggesting someone who wears a swastika should be punched.
Crazy times we live in. Wolfenstein would have been banned.
well actually they have cried about every “anti-nazi” game or show that has come out.
Green hat Ghostbuster house
Mamma mia!
Reddit is a group of internet users with the vision of free speech, but directed by shareholder and policy makers.
So glad I ditched Reddit.
The facade of societal benefit with the hidden and actual motivation of profit, such is the whole world.
Same, haven’t missed it since.
So, when your account is banned on Reddit, does that remove all your posts? Because that would be cool. I left Reddit back in mid 2023 and came to Lemmy. I tried to delete all my old posts there, but they wouldn’t let me. I tried editing them and they reverted back to their original form. When I deleted them, they appeared to be deleted while I was logged in, but if I logged into another account the posts were still there. If getting a ban will get them deleted finally, then that would be well worth paying that cesspool a visit for a while.
I used react.dev to change all of my posts to say “[date] As per the legal owner of this account, Reddit and associated companies no longer have permission to use the content created under this account in any way.”
I figured it sounds like something a lawyer would tell me to put. Just checked and my old posts still say that.
Though interestingly there was a silly fan theory I posted there that some shit entertainment media sites linked to and when I first changed the posts those sites were displaying that message. I’ve checked again and somehow they have the text from my post on there now. So that’s pretty weird.
Reddit really hates Mario’s brother. What did Luigi do to your wife, spez? Mammamia that’s an abomination
Most of the time, if I say “Luigi” I’m actually talking about the character. Mario’s brother. The lil green plumber. Not the real life guy.
I’m not sure what’s gonna happen to discussion about Nintendo games but if first names themselves can be banned from being said (even if they take on a new meaning due to slang) there’s something seriously wrong with the platform.
So sad to see something that gave me souch die like this. Unchecked capitalism ruins all.
