News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules

Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.

Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Ironically, I swing by old.shittyplace.com to check out /r/conservative and/or /r/askaconservative every so often to see if any of them are starting to figure it out yet (spoiler alert: they aren't, or they are celebrating it), and they always have a first page thread about how Reddit is just a liberal recruiting mouthpiece these days etc etc.

Today is no exception.

And for a bonus they have a thread about how Ask Reddit is just out of control with bait for conservatives - I took a peek and there are two current threads that have anything at all to do with conservatives.

The conservative persecution complex is strong, never fear.

Remember, conservative voices must be getting silenced because they never shut the fuck up telling us so.

Demonizing outside influences is common to all cults. It innoculates the cult members to those outside influences, leading them to immediately disregard information that contradicts their cultist beliefs, keeping them trapped within the cult's echo chamber more effectively. To keep the cultists innoculated, they have to constantly remind them that they and their beliefs are being persecuted and that the only source of truth, is the cult leaders.

That said, how "real" is r/conservative? I just checked it and every single thread is flaired users only. It's a far more controlled echo chamber than the Donald was in it's heyday, and when the Sint-Petersburg troll farm was brought offline during the usa elections of 2018, the Donald was gone from reddit's front page for the duration.

To me it seems like r/conservative is a method of distributing the current narrative to cultists, but it doesn't require actual input or discussion from those cultists. It seems to actually discourage posting by normal conservative users, since any kind of wrongthink will lead to a ban, and it's hard to keep up with the changing narratives for normal users, so catching a ban is easy.

I just got a violent content warning for upvoting someone calling musk a "stupid person's version of a smart man" on a post about his trucks being vandalized.

Jfc people should be allowed to call dumb people dumb.

[–] Houseman 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

I know. I just like pretending to have a miniscule amount of hope.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump is openly preparing to invade both Canada and Mexico and these motherfuckers are bitching about Musk being called what he is!

The party of "fuck your feelings" everyone!

I’m about at my wits end with Reddit as a regular user. I have 2 accounts that I’ve used there for a while. One of them is my main user account, the other I use mostly to mod some subs.

My main account recently caught a 7 day ban because of their stupid new “Violence” bullshit. It’s so targeted, and blatantly obvious that it really only applies to comments about certain things. They removed the comment that supposedly triggered it, but all I was was

Hey Leon, you remember when you hit the cybertruck with a baseball bat? Why don’t you go fuck yourself with it.

That’s it, that’s all I said. You could post that same comment directed at an actual Reddit user, and not catch a ban.

Don’t misunderstand me here. I am not now, nor have a I ever been under the delusion that Reddit was the bastion of free speech they tried to claim for years. But seriously, they need to get their fucking heads out of their fucking asses.

Removing stuff from reddit will make people look for alternatives, good for lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

Started to notice the censorship...tried to warn others...got banned...came here

[–] drhodl 32 points 1 day ago (12 children)

I got perma banned from my OG account for engaging with ruzzian trolls. Apparently telling them they'd look good fertilizing sunflowers, and digging babushka a fresh latrine pit is "promoting violence". No warnings, just straight to ban. Reddit allows obvious ruzzian gas lighters, but bans those who call them out. That is Reddit today, a hotbed of ruzzian and nazi propaganda.

I got perma banned for being too mean to MAGAs

[–] FuglyDuck 7 points 1 day ago

[–] dickalan 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

There has been a recent flood of pro-russia pro-trump moderators in almost all the reddit subs i frequent. I also just got a permanant ban for evasion to post this. "It wasn't enought to just amplify the idiots voices, they have to smother the voices of reason and doubt" Apparently that was uncivil way to speak about the mods.

Reddit has gone the way of Twitter...

[–] Gammelfisch 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Same here, I simply made a comment about "the Muscovites receiving a dose of their own medicine" and fucking Russian shill, Putin Bot and/or MAGAt reported me. To top it off, I did not use a single swear word in the comment. Fuck Russia and Reddit.

[–] drhodl 10 points 1 day ago

It's hilarious how magats don't like free speech when it's directed against them. Bunch of loathesome pussies.

I deleted my reddit account yesterday. I used Revedit and I realised that most of the comments I had made on there had been removed or hidden without me ever realising...
