So who wants to help me Digg the grave for Reddit? /s

Sort of sad to see another online home fall but nothing lasts forever.

The guy stomps on innocent, unsuspecting little turtles and occasionally burns them alive. Of course it should be flagged.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

And what's with those legs on SMB2? He's clearly on some kind of drugs.

[–] jamie_oliver 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So you think they will get sued by Nintendo?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Came to the comments to find this question lol

[–] ComeHereOrIHookYou 14 points 1 day ago

Why stop there? If I where reddit and we go with these kinds of decisions, I'd propose the use of LLMs to ban anything that consititutes negative statement including disagreements.

It’s getting harder not to hate these people

The enshittification continues.

All because of greed.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think this is about greed... this about owners not liking how plebs feel about a dead CEO

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Which is because of greed.

I’m actually so happy to see the start of the fall of Reddit. It’s been going on for a couple years or so, but it is happening.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (26 children)

It's so ironic how a site with a leftist lean just chose to alienate their core base. I guess their hope conservatives and liberals staying will make up for it? Lol

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It’s becoming Facebook. A cesspool of people just reverberating off of each other.

Hey look, the cancer is dying of itself..

[–] Upgrayedd1776 39 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I was banned for warning people i would punch them if they upvoted violent content and to knock it off. If spez doesnt want my help then he can go back to his personally moderated kiddy porn subreddits

[–] InputZero 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

With doxxing being the threat it is, I kind of get why a mod wouldn't be comfortable with that. The absolute last thing any mod acting in good faith wants is for someone to track down and hurt in real life a member of their community. Telling people you will punch them for upvoting violent content could be seen as the first step to doxxing someone. It's a bit over sensitive but we've all heard true horror stories about people getting doxxed.

Luigi is a hero.

See how easy that is when you aren't given the table scraps of the rich?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You are now banned from .world for inciting violence.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Dunno why. I'm just talking about the guy who fights ghouls who live in mansions.

A Reddit spokesperson, who requested that The Verge not use their name due to the sensitive subject matter

What the fuck is this? We’re granting corporate spokespeople anonymity now?

[–] [email protected] 88 points 2 days ago (14 children)

You give it to whoever asks for it or you never get another source again.

Uhh, isn't that kinda against the whole point of being a spokesperson in the first place? To put a name and a face behind a message?

Dunno why The Verge plays along.

Does it flag "Notmario"?

[–] CallateCoyote 45 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Yeah, I was banned for talking about suicidal thoughts, so they’re definitely going to ban me if I say Luigi Mangione is my hero and did a beautiful thing.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago

The fact that I can read this comment, makes this site a million times better.

It just shows how scared the elites are of all the people they screwed over.

Fucking scary shit. Now, it is simply "liking" content Reddit doesn't like. Soon, it will be upvoting things that the government doesn't want you to see, or paints them in a bad light.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

paints them in a bad light.

So, like... facts?

Innocent until proven guilty.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So, are subs like /r/Mario and /r/Nintendo going to be banned for "encouraging violence"?

[–] dexa_scantron 44 points 2 days ago

No, the mods will just get constant streams of false positive flags they have to clear.
