Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn’t really on topic, but it’s happening anyways! I’m hungry.
Burrito pilled Lemmy maxing
Try explaining that term to someone in 1925. I’m proud of how far we’ve come.
I’ve been banned twice in the past 30 days.
I got permabanned a couple weeks ago for saying “the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi”
Like, why are you defending Nazis, spez? Huh?
It solidified Lemmy as my permanent reddit replacement. No ragrets.
I got permabanned for reporting hateful comments on a r/conservative post that was glorifying Nazis a few weeks ago. No warning. Been on Reddit for over a decade without causing any problems. Sounds like Reddit as a corporation has picked a side
They picked a side when they let a bunch of fash shit slide on T_D in the run up to 2016. No surprise though-- tech bros rarely have a working moral compass
and they allow r/conservative constantly hit the front page now, when it almost never did prior to the election.,
And it’s so much worse now with how many sub comments and posts that sub has. It’s painfully obvious they’ve replaced even the most devout users with autogenerated agenda posts. That place is some of the most obvious propaganda I’ve seen on the internet
If you post on r/conservative they will actually stalk you and look through your posts to report stuff … but you report them and that is ok.
same thing happened to me, but on a different sub. “they said report abuse is not allowed” so i was temp ban on a technology sub, funny enough. and it just triggered a full sitewide ban for all my other accts with little warning.(im pretty sure the temp suspension was going to get perma banned down the line, because i heard other used got banned sitewide after thier temp ban ended for no reason at all, which was caused by an error on thier part which they refused to do anything.) basically if you been temp banned the filters on subs dont reset so it detects you as a ban evader if you comment on the sub again, even if you are in the clear.
alSO IF the mod doesnt like you reporting someone they will lecture you and ban you for “report abuse”.
i found out mods do not want to deal with large query of “reports” from users so they get lazy and they autoban, or ban people just to not have to do anything about the person being reported. in case the accts gets a repeal, they will make an excuse up to admins why they banned someone.
Reddit mods can’t see who reported things, only that something was reported. I used to be the head mod for a 1M+ sub. The admins can see that though, and mods can forward reports to the admins for review.
they must be getting the identity of the reporter from the admins, if the mods are nosey enough. im guessing thats how they got some of my accts that way. but a couple times on different subs, the mods personally messaged the ban message" and ranted why the other user wasnt reportable"
I got banned a few weeks back for an anti-trump post.
That account was 11 years old and I was very active over those years. But nope. Don’t talk smack about the orange god.
reddit has been sliding right wing for a while, 90% of the posts are about trump, and not really the important things hes doing behind the scenes, just “reaction posts” of trumps gaffes. reddit is also sustaining X social media too with thier posts.
I got permabanned like two years ago for quoting “eat the rich” by Aerosmith. Also suggesting we should eat the rich. Several times. They also permabanned everyone on my wifi. I did the entire household a service.
You got IP banned, damn.
I use 4G for my home internet, my IP address changes so frequently. Always thought IP bans were kinda dumb, certainly permanent ones. Maybe throw a week long one on so they don’t immediately create a new account but past that their address has almost certainly changed.
5 of my accts were banned last month, all at once. one got temp suspended, and a triggered a sitewide ban for the others for some "reason. theres no reason to ban all others when it was just temp suspended. but they went extra out of thier way(any old and new accts that have years of seperation between a subreddit ban(if they dint get banned immediately after getting sub banned) they banned accounts.
ex, i had 2 unused accts 5+years, and 1 recent temp suspension(then they look at other accts you were per banned from a subreddit in, and banned all of them)
Same. I used Reddit for 12 years. Got perma-banned last year for saying things about Israel that people didn’t like, I guess.
Moved to lemmy.
I agree. And now want to be your friend.
Already got permabanned for saying he was justified, I like it better here anyway
I got banned but their site is so shit the links to the message you got banned for never work. Been banned/warned enough times it’s not a one off either.
What’s in your burrito? My favorite is adobada.
I like beans in mine.
Citizen, you have been found guilty of wrong think!
Please report for reeducation
Thought police will be dispatched.
Well that’s just straight up fucking bonkers.
Any more bonkers than anything else on Reddit since the exodus? Lol
It’s okay, we’ll all be able to go back to Digg soon.
Slashdot too?
Fuuuuuuuuuck spez
The police should check his hard drive
Ew
he just got hatched from a oligarchy alien nursery and dint come out fully formed.
This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.
Mine too! They recommended Lemmy on r/redditsafety.
Fuck Reddit.
Yes, and fuck discord apparently ?
Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups
I appreciate it :)
Mine too! Already having fun time!
Same — I never used Reddit but I found out about Lemmy from a Content Creator I enjoy. Seemed cool, a few privacy policies later and I’m here. The more I read about Reddit the more I’m glad I never used it.
I was super late to the party. Wasn’t really a heavy user until right around the API changes.
I would like to suggest a second comment as well
Hell, might as well go for three. Keep em comin
“reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote calls for a violent revolution against the billionaire class and the fascist neo feudalist mikitarized police state enforced wage slavery and rent till death economics they have created to benefit their endless growth driven profits while ignoring upvotes of content that praise violence against leftists, women and other marginalized leftist aligning groups and ideologies”
There, FTFY
after what they saw with luigi, and trying to suppress all news about it
They are desperay obvious and its cringe. They were in full blast damage control censorship mode even before december 4th. I was VPN banned last summer just for saying that occupied indigenous people have a right to resist occupation by any means necessary as per international law in regards to palestine and IsNoTreal. So far ive jot been able to evade the ban even with a vpn. Wall street military and prison industry profiteers have become too confident and comfortable.
They ban for literally anything probably because their Reddit moderation is handled by AI. The simple fact that many reports = certain ban regardless of behavior is reason enough not to be in that cesspool
their Reddit moderation is handled by AI
They also have a number of fascist mods who abuse their authority to arbitrarily ban anyone saying something they don’t like.
Yes, this is exactly what it is. A call for violence against liberals? No worries. A statement that violence may be the only option left to fight a government controlled by billionaires? Banned.
Well, exactly the same can and is happening on specific Lemmy servers too.
One of the vegan instances bans you if you downvote anything that speaks in favour of veganism. Not that I just do this out of spite, but there was this time where a thread about vegan cat food gained traction and I downvoted some comments that were really borderline. Ban within an hour.
Same on that notorious star trek instance. Go ahead and put some downvotes on Discovery related posts, it will also earn you a temporary ban.
So let’s not pretend that it’s only big bad reddit doing this.
Vegan cat food? What the frak, poor cats.
its sickening how they pretend to care about animals and nature by being vegan yet its just egotripping and blatant animal abuse. If they actually care about animals they should be the first ones denouncing vegan cat food.
It’s already bad enough that a lot of dry cat food in the market has grain (and the high cost of grainless alternatives) to even considering giving vegan food to a cat pffff.
Dry food is the worst between their diabetes risk and CKD risk.
Really? I give my cats dry food, but there’s no grain in it, all meat. Expensive, but worth it!
Discovery is shit.
Never seen but just cause I am in edgy mood today: discovery is utter garbage. They should pay hefty health insurance to anyone who has seen it to cover therapy costs and eye surgery.
It’s so garbage that the dump trucks drivers get confused and arrive at people living rooms if they turn it on.
The only fitting spot for it is inside the latrine but wash it out as carefully after putting this shitty thing down the drain as if it was an especially nasty hangover poop
That was quite pleasurable to write
same here, never saw the series, just enough of the clips to know the seasons go through obvious cycle, evident of many other people posted, a big convoluted “danger” that ends up in the last episode of a season which is a letdown. rinse and repeat, also kurtzmans go-to for ignoring the criticisms by fans of previous seasons, by dropping the arc of the last season entirely, additionally. both picard and STD have lifted material they read on memory alpha and memory beta(non canon) wiki, which the NOVELS are part of.
I don’t know but I know that hating on franchises isn’t worth my effort nowadays aside from some short dopamine burst now and then. I have learned with Last Jedi that panta rhei and all, I can always have my own head canon which is mostly EU and TCW 2008 and maybe some other thing I like.
cant believe that show went on five seasons, and it got worst every season too, and the obvious objective kurtzman was evident by season 4(female leads were the only sex left on the cast), the only likable characther, was michelle yeohs performance(you can see the acting is better than the others). Picard also was like that(the show couldve been good if done right, but picard(patrick stewart) seemed too low energy for the show.
I feel like there’s a difference between various moderators power-tripping on their own little fiefdoms, and a site wide policy.
A little, sure, but from my point of view (which you are happy to disagree with), very little.
Personally I am a big Star Trek fan. I was stoked to see there is an actual dedicated Lemmy server for it, with many communities focused around everything Star Trek. But I disagree with their admin/moderation so much I had to change my account to another server. At some point ended up blocking the whole instance because I just cannot keep myself to just reading what others are posting.
So even if I can use another server, I cannot use those communities. Similar if I were a vegan and would not agree with what some of the more extreme users are posting.
There are not many active alternatives for these communities on Lemmy.
Good point. The other important difference is that on Lemmy you can jump to a different server. Once you get banned on Reddit, that’s it.
Plus side here is that people can move to another instance and start commenting right away as opposed to being shadow banned for a period in certain subs and having to build up enough karma to start not automatically having every comment flagged.
People aren’t stuck the the policies of instances they don’t agree with whether it be reasons for bans or what instances are blocked or whitelisted.
It’s enough to just make new account every couple months
It’s a good practice anyway. Fresh start every month feels good. Privacy is much better this way on such transparent site as Lemmy. You reset any mutes/bans/fame you might have acquired. It’s win-win
+It’s not like Lemmy has some kind of insane profile customisation fluff or account bound rewards
Also remember to have a unique username for each site. Osint resistant for best doxx protection. I use this sometimes for lulz and there are people who have same PayPal id (with real name shown) as their Lemmy account name lol. Lemmy may be rather tame but if you browse any deep chan sites opsec is of paramount and admins are hostile actors too
Its decentalised nature doesn’t get you removed from the whole network though unlike Reddit. You can always interact with other instances.
Fr seeing in the modlog that people are regularly getting banned from parts of the fediverse for innocuous shit like “chronic downvoting” is so disappointing.
Imo however you do or do not hit the little arrow buttons should never have any bearing on your account or standing, at all.
I don’t even understand why mods/admins have access to see how people are voting, fuck that bullshit.
Yes, Lemmyverse will fragment, so it’s important to choose sufficiently permissive instances or even run your own.
at least here its more easy to just let them stew with eachother or for more sensible part of that community to just break off. in reddit its the site owner who ultimately decided how the site goes, here its the community itself.
Yes, but that is like being banned on a specific Reddit. You didnt follow the rules. Reddit will ban you from the entire platform.
Lemmy even has the option to disable downvotes, so they’re obviously using downvotes as some kind of purity test.
Side note, there should be a way to soft block certain instances so you can see and interact with its federated posts but not send anything to the instance itself. You want to limit open discussion on your instance? Fine, but everyone else is still going to talk about you.
if you block an instance, it doesn’t block the users or their posts on other instances
It’s way easier to do with Lemmy compared to Reddit. Because of its federated design, it’s trivial to subscribe to a stream of all activity in a community (posts, comments, upvotes, downvotes, moderation actions, etc) and do things when particular actions happen. Unlike Reddit, on Lemmy you can get a list of who upvoted or downvoted a post or comment.
Which I don’t have a problem with. Having vastly different moderation policies can create a walled garden, but there are instances where a walled garden is just preferable. See how askhistorians was handled. It’s better to have a platform that you can shape to your needs and the potential needs of your users. If it’s truly useless, then nobody would use it
The motives behind the actions of these groups are vastly different though. A corporation silencing anti-establishment speech is not equivalent to lemmy moderators abusing authority in their micro-feifdoms. Still frustrating of course but the reasons and effects are quite different
Does this happen on lemmy.world?
It’s amazing how they tolerated people preaching for violence against women and immigrants for over a decade, but all of sudden their passion for non-violence is so extreme after a rich white guy gets killed.
Nobody does class consciousness better than old money.
They know what’s good for them and have no qualms about fucking over millions of people to make it happen.
Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.
God help us if Elon Musk figures out how to run one.
Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here’s everyone that upvoted this thread.
Edit: Downvotes (reduces) are less exposed, but as you said, someone can just run a fedi instance that exposes them to everyone.
I think all reactions should be exposed.
Yeah idk why ppl dont like this, id prefer ppl lurk and not vote if they dont do it with their chest
He can see me upvote people wanting to kill him.
I’m probably ending up in a concentration camp anyways, might as well vent while I can… 🙃
I will save him the effort. I happily upvote things that contain the words Luigi and Elon.
I once got banned for “vote brigading” on Reddit because I upvoted a crosspost that was deleted later, so this comes as no surprise. They have been monitoring upvotes and downvotes since forever.
Wtf is “vote brigading”?
Yeah what the heck is that?
When one community goes in mass to affect the votes in another. E.g someone is doing a poll/vote intended to be private or limited to a certain group/community, and you link that to from somewhere else with the hope, or sometimes direct instructions to go vote on it in a certain way.
That’s why reddit has cross-posts and the np (no participation, disables voting in the linked content) subdomain that try to keep the votes separated.
I don’t think i ever came across cross posted content where up/down voting was not allowed 🤔
If you cross-post, that sub gets it’s own up/downvote count. You would have to open the link and go to the original post to see and affect them, so it already discourages brigading
NP is when I link you directly to somewhere, e.g https://np.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1j4scuu/barbie_doll/ won’t have voting even if you are logged in, not on the post or the comments.
Warms my heart to see all the ‘new account’ badges in this thread.
I made my switch around the inauguration. When I saw all the big tech guys standing together. That’s a big red flag. Even if reddit wasn’t represented.
Reminds me of back in 2013 when Reddit admins accidentally revealed that Eglin Air Force Base, a location often cited as the source of government social-media propaganda/astroturfing programs, was the most Reddit addicted city in the world.
To be fair, every Air Force base had higher than average Reddit usage back in the day. It was one of the few websites not blocked by default. I don’t know when that changed, Because I was out before then.
But yes, there are also the propaganda teams.
I would expect Moscow or St Petersburg.
Because you’ve been propagandized to hell. A lot of people have. Which is why everyone lost their shit about “Russian interference” over a couple of shitty memes from Russian sources during an election, but didn’t seem to give a shit about electioneering from domestic propaganda sources.
You’re getting far more propaganda from your own country than any other foreign entity, I promise you.
I I know people in russia (friends of friends) who were paid per comment on american and russian social in support of putin and Trump before his first election. Mostly students, there were farms of them. This thing is real, and back then we talked how most of the discussion online is not real
And the astroturf farm at Eglin AFB is the highest source of traffic on Reddit. I’m sure the US military’s astroturf output is absolutely eclipsing anything poorly paid students are outputting.
reddit reported it was half of the comments on reddit, besides ru being the other competitor. In regards to israel, im betting they are also involved, especially if you go into worldnews.
15 years on reddit. Multiple accounts banned for slamming Nazis. So I’m here slamming Nazis. Long live Lemmy.
I actually came here today because of this! So far so happy with Lemmy
Basically declaring that they don’t allow free speech.
“Hey, you have been liking things we disagree with and we need an echo chamber here, align with us or fuck off. Sincerely, the money hungry bitches of the internet! Also heil daddy musk!”
Of course they don’t. They banned me 3 years ago for saying that if you have the chance, you should always punch a Nazi.
Excuse me? If someone says they want a genocide you have to wait until they take over, only then are you allowed to support violence.
I’m against violence, I think that reasonable and even somewhat unreasonable people should be talked with. But if someone says “fuck you I will kill you” you should have the right to punch them, it is the same as self defence, because next time they will kill you.
I know. The two reactions when I tell people about that are usually either rage or amusement. I’m here now, so fuck Reddit.
They permabanned two of my accounts during the election last year, just because I said I didn’t care when Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot. She’s a warmonger who’s called for violence against millions of innocent people. Not gonna clutch my pearls when anyone (even Trump) threatens her.
Basically declaring that they don’t allow free speech.
It’s a privately owned platform. You never have an assurance of free speech on any of those, and on Reddit, the rot set in years ago.
There is a big jump from “we are a private company and we have internal rules” to “we are a private company and our internal rules that directly go against human rights”
Based on what I read in the posted article, everyone is making a big leap here. Of course I expect you all to be right in the end based on Reddit being a shitshow, but we don’t know what the content they are referring to is exactly.
For all we know, they are only referring to stuff like human trafficking or child porn. The statement is vague.
I have a strange opinion, but here goes: The Right to Free Speech (Im in the US here), should protect you from censorship. Doing what Reddit is doing should be considered a Rights violation and we should be able to sue them into the ground.
Terrible idea. Any site that bans for hate speech would also be a rights violation. If a platform doesn’t share your values, leave it.
Well, you are certainly entitled to that opinion even though it’s wrong, and I do think banning you for it is also wrong.
There’s a big difference between having ideas and taking actions. Ideas cannot be allowed to become illegal. Even disgusting ones.
The correct response to unconscionable ideas is social, not institutional.
That is the point I was making about Twitter, and it applies to Reddit as well. You have to stop that radicalization socially, they need their hands slapped to know that they are wrong. Twitter and Reddit dont just let MAGA go crazy, they give them a safe space to do it in. They block us normal people from telling them they are being crazy. He’ll, Reddit let’s them throw people out if they don’t have Conservative flair (like a checkmark).
The institutions are preventing proper social responses to these hateful people.
hypothetically speaking, if someone blew up their office HQ, that would send a powerful message. of course, if you have the balls to do that, there are some other offices that would probably be much better targets.
To be clear, they’re talking about banning right wing people. Reddit is one of the most liberal platforms you will find.
You can’t even talk economics on Reddit without being downvoted to fuck, or banned.
I am a centrist, and I routinely had posts removed and got banned from communities for saying things from actual textbooks taught currently in universities.
No one is attacking the free speech of the left unless it’s radical and advocating for physical harm.
