You guys are still using reddit?
Lots of local discussion groups that simply don’t exist on lemmy. I’ve tried getting them to move too.
No good drug sub here either
Trying to get drug ppl to change habits, am I right? 😏😂
Be the change you want to see in the world

It is being talked about over here from a Bloomberg / yahoo finance article.
Meh, fuck em
lol. Cunts.
Ooopsie, there goes your money. Not exactly a good idea to cross your community, is it?
Free Luigi.
I gave up the game there after 12 years… of mostly lurking though.
I’m just trying to get permabanned for mentioning Lemmy and sharing my views on billionaires at this point
Same bro I got a three day ban yesterday.
Yeah, they gave me a three day ban a few days ago, so I joined here. I have no plans on going back ever. I uninstalled the reddit app. I had been on that site to some degree for more than half my life.
They gave me one too, but I extended it to perma just to make sure I don’t feel tempted to go back.
As you should
Given that Xitter is going down the proverbial toilet, I am surprised Reddt didn’t see the risks in turning their platform into a right-wing cesspool.
This is u/spez we’re talking about here c’mon.
Spaz IS a right wing cesspool. So it is to be expected
Not surprising seeing as theyve also been unjustly banning people again. Just got booted off the site today and was given zero explanation besides I “incited violence.” The link to the supposed “violation” didnt work then when I asked in my appeal they wouldnt tell me anything. Im left to assume its because my politics didnt agree with the current regime.
Musk has been pressuring them to go after critics of him, and the administration, and Reddit is capitulating. Cowards.
I suspect it is because they want to buy TikTok, and they know HitlerPig will award it based on appeasement and the bribe.
It’ll be funny to watch them start lifting those bans when they realize bending the knee to fascists isn’t gonna save the site. Oh well. They’ve shown their true colors as a platform.
I’ve wondered if that will happen once they realize they’ve chased off so many core members.
I’m not sure I’d return. I like the higher volume of posts on Reddit, especially in niche subs, but i don’t miss the bots, trolls, puns, novelty accounts, Russian karma farmers, etc.
I was sign up number 3 the day they added accounts. I made I think one of the 1st hundred comments ever. I’ll never go back for any reason. The place is a joke, and what people keep going back for are the memories of what it was, not what it is.
shortly after the article came out talking about how Reddit is bending the knee to Musky’s hissy fit, I received two notifications from Reddit; one, a 7-Day ban for “breaking multiple rules” but not telling me what actually happened, and after sending them an appeal asking what exactly I was banned for, I received the second notification, telling me that I was permanently banned for, again, “breaking multiple rules”.
as far as I’m concerned, I’m finally free.
Sounds like they are panicing if anything
I just got a 3 day ban for saying that it’s everyone’s civic duty to doxx anyone they know involved in this current administration’s nazi bullshit.
I still stand by that, and as soon as the ban clears I’m going to be wiping my account and closing it for good. Fuck that place.
I brought attention to some concerning moderation in spaces related to sex (and sexual assault recovery - a lot of subreddits are places for people to find victims to get them to tell their stories for “enjoyment”) and got some sort of IP ban a while back.
Keep in mind there’s circumstantial evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell might have been a power mod too.
Doxxing is against ToS and also just, straight up illegal lawfully in most places around the world, and wouldn’t be acceptable even on Lemmy. So I don’t really see that as an unreasonable ban, even if you had a good reason to say it.
Commit Reddit suicide

I’ve been banned by reddit many times, but they always coincided with disagreeing with a mod. They don’t need to tell you what rules you broke when it was just a disagreement.

Federate. Anonymize. Consensus based moderation. Without that we succumb to tyranny.
The problem with consensus is you can fake it pretty easily with a bunch of bots.
I am proudly permabanned from reddit for telling people to punch Nazis.
Hey that literally just happened to me too.
I was permabanned for telling mods they have tiny peen syndrome.
They permabanned my main and unrelated business account for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot. Apparently not caring is also “promoting violence.”
Cheney is a warmonger who has called for the killing of millions in unjust wars. I don’t care if someone threatens her.
That was my first temp ban, years ago. I was shocked. You can’t be pro-Nazi punching?
Punching nazis isnt mindless violence. Its violence against the mindless
I got a 3 day ban for agreeing that putin should die (after Selenskyj said it would soon be so) and the joking wish that his natural death also happens to his chosen successors.
Now im here.
Fuck Spez, and all that, but really, this chart isn’t much different from nearly every stock for the same time period.
I think that dip has more to do with Trump creating uncertainty in the market overall than any specific Reddit trend/policy.
Kinda…
For comparison, the S&P 500 felt 4% on the period, Nasdaq felt 7%. So 30% is really noteworth, Redddit is one of the stocks pulling the index down. But it’s not alone, and blaming it on any random cause isn’t right.
It’s not going to be representative unless you compare it to the same cohort - tech stocks.
Yah, I was going to say the same thing. S&P not only dropped much less, it dropped at a different time and slope. S&P dropped in line with when Trump took office and has been relatively flat. Reddit has been on a constant decline since the start of the year.
Are those the reasons for the drop though? I’ve been completely oblivious to this.
