Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
Welcome to all lemmigrants !
A thousand Luigi’s upon Huffman and Musk!
yay, my once which was my fav platform becoming a shitshow. i won’t miss it
Well… that’s just going to be most American sites going forward. That’s why ultimately platforms like Lemmy are so important. What a lot of people here in the States don’t realize is that this is a war on information.
Lemmy is more important to those of us that live in countries without free speech. Like the UK. It’s still unreal that I can type that and it’s completely true. Although it’s more unreal that thanks to government censorship I need a VPN to access this site at all.
Always has been my friend. It just took time for the fascists to catch up
Sub name checks out
I’ve gotten permabans on multiple subs and also overall bans from reddit admin itself. Various reasons like pro-luigi comments, anti-trump comments, anti-israeli comments, pro-ukraine comments. Reddit is a propaganda platform now.
Pro Anti 1% ban here.
It always was.
JFC… looks like Reddit is now only good for old Tech questions.
Yep. I am done with Reddit too. Just deleted my account after this bullshit.
TBH, getting banned from a sub for something that got downvoted there as well just means you said something in the wrong place to the wrong people. That exact same thing can (and does) happen in Lemmy too.
My only permaban in my 10 year Reddit history is for explaining someone making a reference to the MLP cum jar meme, and in hindsight, I did deserve that, even if someone did specifically ask what it meant.
My only permaban on Reddit was making a joke about Nick Fuentes being doxxed. I said “an incel like him should be glad, now the ladies know where to find him if they want to share a cocktail with him”, with a gif of a cartoon Molotov. Inciting/glorifying violence. Ok fine, that one was on me. Still funny though.
What was the topic about? Sounds like you pissed someone off good 😂
Crazy, ironically, I wouldn’t consider most dem politicians liberals. They’re just not as far right as Republicans.
I once saw a comment by a European explaining American politics to another European.
“Their left is our right, their right is our far right, and their far right are literal flag waving Nazis.”
I was replying to a comment about how a lot of Leftist subs have been taken over by tankies. I was mentioning the growing accelerationist rhetoric among those same tankies. They don’t want to hear anything about fixing the world we live in, because there’s no glory in that, so all they focus on is armed revolution and collapse. They see Trump and MAGA as a good thing, because it will being about collapse of the American Empire faster.
I will never understand people who think the only way to build a better world is to destroy the one they have.
So you’re wanting a return to some status quo, and don’t understand why progressive people would reject your conservatism.
Without radical change, we’ll experience climate collapse. There’s no way to avoid that by straddling the middle.
I am so close to deleting Reddit too, among all other American services I’ve been canceling since the beginning of the new year.
I deleted all my reddit accounts but one as I want to go through my saved history first. Fuck reddit.
I’ve come across many troubling subreddits over time, but PoliticalCompassMemes was the first one that made me feel like I was witnessing the beginning of a dangerous online pipeline. At first, it seemed like a “funny, all-inclusive political humor sub,” but the more I looked, the more unsettling it became. Unfortunately, things have only gotten worse since then.
Why is this comment a reworded version of this comment with added links that lead to some bogus websites? Is this AI generated?
Yes. The links are spam.
Ironic - Palpatine
Meanwhile PoliticalCompassMemes and the 4chan subreddit stays up
Don’t forget KiA and all the Trump subs.
When it comes to controversial subs, the general rule is if you have really dedicated mods who are super careful to never break a rule themselves you can generally keep it up.
Those mods not breaking any rules individually is important because otherwise the admins will invoke their backup plan for dealing with a sub they don’t like but isn’t breaking any rules - keeping the mods under a microscope and looking for any excuse to ban them and immediately ban the sub for being unmoderated, refuse to give it to new mods, and ban any replacement sub for recreating a banned sub.
They could just ban the sub because they don’t like it, but that kind of seeming capriciousness tends to get a bad reaction from the userbase, which is why they look for an excuse to justify the ban.
I’ve seen a lot of awful subreddits over time but PoliticalCompassMemes was the first subreddit I ran into that made me feel like I was actually staring into the start of the pipeline. The way it was masquerading as a “funny all inclusive political humour sub” at the time was nauseating and it’s only gotten worse since.
To be fair, there’s about a fifty-fifty chance that a subreddit, or lemmy community for that matter, called “supressed news” is going to be filled loonies, and those guys could spend all day masturbating to the though of violently dismantling the power of the World Economic Forum.
dismantling the power of the World Economic Forum.
that’s drumpf’s job
Welcome refugees, the waters warm and we’ve got the kettle on for a cuppa
Finally deleted my account there just now. Place is so far removed from the principles it was founded on. Guess I’ll be here a lot more… but hopefully spending less time doom scrolling in general.
