Now I’m starting to think that getting banned from reddit and them not telling me why and instantly denying my appeal was just a test. What a garbage website and moderation.
I’m sorry, we found that you watched a post that was against our content policy for 5 seconds instead of the maximum allowed time of 3 seconds. We will therefore suspend your account, thank you for understanding.
I’m sure Orwell didn’t really expect telescreens to become a real thing, but we have very literally welcomed surveillance devices into our lives and homes. Now, it’s just a matter of who starts actively using them as a monitoring device.
You have upvoted the incorrect opinion, consider this a warning. If you continue to upvote incorrect opinions, you will be in violation of our Terms of Service and your account will be suspended. Upvotes are to only be given to approved opinions, as determined by our moderation team.
lmao Reddit has become a complete joke.
Oh no, someone pushed a button on the internet to support justice.
Slippery slope.
So what would happen if the user upvotes something benign and then the OP edits their post to something violent?
They dont care.
This is not about being reasonable this is about rooting out dissent when big events happened like a dead CEO recently
spez can just edit the comment for them
Wow, they don’t even tell you what they decided your “violating actions” were.
They literally said that they don’t want to tell, because it will lead to users gaming the system. 😒
Guess I’ll die
users gaming
Gamers are truly the most oppressed class.
I got mine this morning. Coincidentally, I signed up here this morning as well.
Welcome, enjoy it while it’s small
Welcome to Lemmy! It’s much, much slower here, but a lot of people (myself included) see that as a plus.
Please don’t be discouraged if your niche hobby isn’t represented here. I’m not one to talk, but if the community for it doesn’t exist, go ahead and create it! 😁
Luigi dindu nuffin. Reddit is is big mad normies sided with the american hero and their psyops failed.
Get fucked parasites
Why are they even making a show of this? Couldn’t they just show you different numbers, they’re fuzzed anyway, or shadow ban you, or any of the other ways to make your votes disappear?
The show is the point. Users are supposed to self-censor out of fear, which is far more effective than any form of automated censorship. Reddit just implement the “chilling effect”.
That place is a cesspool, I hope they get chilled into leaving. Even if they go to bluesky, get tf out of there.
This is the beginning of the end of Reddit.
I’ve seen this statement like a dozen times over the last 15 years but never before has an alternative been quite as robust as Lemmy been available. Might actually see it happen this time
Probably not, reddit, like all modern social media platforms, is essentially “too big to fail”. They have captured and cornered their markets and will continue to dominate indefinitely.
Throughout all of these things reddit’s user growth has went up, not down. Daily Active Users grow, month over month, more than 20x the entire population of Lemmy., just think about that, there’s more growth to the daily active user count on a monthly basis (not the totally user count), then the entire population of Lemmy, x20.
It’s depressing to think about. But it’s also reality. And reality fucking sucks.
All I can hope is that lemmy and similar continue to grow.
How many of those accounts are bots?
Those are shareholder approved autonomous marketing and engagement agents. Not bots. -Spez
Literally the reason I’m here right now. Fuck reddit
Same thing here.
Let’s be honest, reddit has been going downhill since at least 2014. It still exists, and will continue to, but it’s such a hollow shell of what it once was.
I was considering getting an account after being off Reddit for almost 2 years just because there are some pretty large active transgender communities then I saw this.
I think the end of the secret santa was the beginning of the end for reddit. This is like the second day after the Normandy landing for Germany.
I vaguely remember the secret santa thing. Could you remind us what that was all about.
It was just a thing you could sign up for every year and buy someone else and gift somewhere in the world. You would put your information in and everything would get coordinated so that gifts went all over. It was overall cool. Some people took advantage of course but you’d be banned if you didn’t send out a gift and only received a gift.
