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.
Dont mind me just slowly transitioning over to Lemmy
I regressed back to Reddit for a bit. I’m back for good after I found out they’re also suppressing anti consumption movements.
Reddit can keep all the NPCs.
Yiggity yikes.
I came back just a few days before this rush began and boy does it feel prescient
I got myself permabanned for saying even sharks don’t like Russians on a story about a shark attack. On that website since 2008, guess it was a good push in the right direction, it’s been getting shittier.
For anyone that still has a reddit account, if you have any good community subreddits, tell them to relocate to Lemmy :)

Might have been your post that brought me to Lemmy, too. Saw lots of folks saying they got warnings for Luigi/other content I am interested in, and decided I am out, too.
Will spend a couple weeks encouraging people in some of my niche communities, and then no more reddit.
After 12 years and over 900K Karma, I got permanently banned for repeating an opinion that I’ve posted many times over the past decade. Then Trump gets elected, and the exact same opinion gets me a permaban.
Now I’m hearing that they are banning people for UPVOTES! I wondered why Reddit had decided to throw in with the Nazis, and I this week I see in the news that Ohanion wants to buy TikTok. The new owner of TikTok will be personally chosen by HitlerPig, so Zuckerfuck has been kissing up, and now Ohanion wants in on it. HitlerPig will award it to whomever kisses his ass and pays him the most.
14 year old account for me. Mod of a million plus sub. 700k karma. Built fucking subreddits into real communities. Banned over a joke I made for a decade. Reddit is dying and we now have a new federated home.
Welcome aboard, the place is comfy and only really needs user numbers at this point.
Shit, they perma’d me for constantly agitating in non leftist subs… I can’t help it.
I’m here because I replied to “let’s not give them an inch” with “let’s give them 9mm” and was permanently banned from politics, no recourse. That’s the most left leaning sub on the website.
When they took API access away I was pissed but I stayed. But taking away my free speech, seriously? They can go fuck themselves.
that sub was, but it was taken over by a right winger that allowed astroturfing against the “left”
But do you think ‘nine millimeters’ would have passed?
ever since trumps first term, thier ban have been come very heavy handed against left leaning comments more so than right wingers, i pointed it out so many times over the years that this was happening. there was suspicion that r/politics was taken over by a right winger, that wanted to seem like both sides, its pretty obviously who was getting banned and what was getting posted.
Don’t leave us in suspense - what was the opinion?
They like pineapple on pizza.
Well, that is an actual war crime.
Shit, that might get you banned here as well… /s
Reddit doesn’t want users participating in the site. They want eyes looking at ads and that’s it. Look, don’t touch. We’ve got bots for touching.
Lurkers are more lucrative than posters.
i have adblockers on, so they never get ad revenue anyways.
Other than the sweet sweet LLM training comment money….
BUT NO ACTUAL POSTS! LEAVE THOSE FOR ADVERTISERS!
That’s the problem with these corporations — the foundation is rotten, and they have no principles beyond more money. It has been this way for some time.
Now, we have an economy where the arbitrary whims of billionaires and our king is the main determinant of their share price. This is how Reddit kisses the boot.
They would exhume my grandmother if it increased share price by one tenth of one percent.
I created my first Reddit account in over a decade and was shadowbanned almost immediately. I didn’t even get a chance to post a semi-“controversial” opinion! The site is total garbage these days.
you made acct at a bad time, they went hard on banning people last month, and ive been hearing on other sites that they were banned almost immediately after commenting once, thier bot sensitivity filter is so high, that any comment that was removed was considered a “spam activity”
Reddit currently has a beastiality sub. They don’t allow real images obviously but people post hentai and fish for more. In the comments, they give each other advice/describe their activities.
Reddit doesn’t care.
theres also pedophelia adjacent going in some of the medical subs, minors who were positng about possible skin issues was than DM for more pics, i think they shut that avenue down really quick.
I mean… Lenny has rape.pet also
I’m afraid to say that’s not even the worst thing I’ve seen on Reddit and know continues to exist there. This is about bending over and showing their fealty to billionaires.
I mean the founder was the mod of /r/jailbait for years, if that’s what they had out in the open I don’t want to know what they have semi hidden
the admins ar eprobably in control of some of the subs, 92mods control over 500 subs.
There is a disgusting underside that I don’t want to get into. Let’s just say that Reddit clearly doesn’t care that much about policing content. It’s only this topic in particular that they cannot condone. Criticizing billionaires is where they draw the line.
It disgusts me.
It’s what got me banned from both Reddit and twitter.
something tells me he’s not the type to keep a semi hidden.
People saw this coming from miles away since the rumors came out of reddit going for an IPO.
Question is why people keep getting outraged?
We were pissed then and we’re pissed now. The only difference is there’s a real alternative. Lemmy is a lot more polished these days.
I love how in r/conservative and r/antiSemitismInReddit (Ignore the name, they mean anti-neozionists and are willing to shame Jews who protest against Israels actions as well, they even have a tag for them), they always complain about reddit being biased against them when it is quite the opposite. Take Jibrish, bringing his Eve Online gaslighting and trolling from the r/eve community to the r/conservative community, also running around shamelessly in r/RedditSafety. Reddit is effectively Silicon Valley psyop, meant to gather data and keep an eye on the tendency of the more educated lot on the Internet (as well as keep them in pro-neozionist bubbles by pushing them in major subreddits like r/worldnews).
Hell, read or search about maxwellhill on YouTube. Some have taken that the fact that the account has logged in for private chats as having disproved that claim when all it proves is that someone, albeit lawyer, family member, or otherwise, has logged into the account. What can’t be disputed as a conspiracy theory and can be easily confirmed is that Ellen Pao, former Reddit CEO, revealed Ghislaine Maxwell who along with Epstein essentially ran that, a Silicon Valley psyops, was present at the same Silicon Valley Christmas celebrations as her and other influentials. This is the level of manipulation, where there is money there will be a will to manipulate.
Reddit has absolutely no problem complying or letting US federal authorities and intelligence agencies access to all of the information they gather on your account on their backend. There used to be subreddits where you could report moderators, “karmawhores”, who trolled and abused their power. They were banned from the platform even after complying far more than other subreddits that got to remain. Forget pointing out the genocide of Palestinians, there was a time where you would even get banned from worldnews for calling cryptoscams confidence games. After Trump’s first term and the T_D disaster, the conversation seemed to shift from that failed insurgency (at the time) to a reddit spearled meme stock economic destabilization attempts. Reddit is subjecting yourself to be manipulated for the opportunity to participate in some communities, and they know it.
I had a post removed for simply criticizing Reddit’s moderation rules. It was cited under Reddit Moderation Rule 3. Amazing how dense they are about their userbase.
Reddit is cooked
Lets hope. Found Lemmy only just today and super glad I have.
Welcome. I tried Lemmy a few years back but it wasn’t nearly as polished and way fewer people. Like BlueSky… But in 2025 I guess I’m here to stay.
You even found your way off the biggest instance! I’m impressed. Most new users just go to World, but it’s not the best for the network. Indeed, my first account was there.
Haha Yea i was looking for something nit quite as large, but not feel like im in a desert. So far, so good.
I like my instance so far, can recomend
It’s pretty cool over here and none of the cool user names are taken yet
Welcome!
Thanks!
Welcome!
LOL no they are not. 97% of the users don’t give a fuck about any of this and will never leave. Reddit can ride it out just fine. For example, look at the cesspool FB turned into.
Every single Reddit user I know IRL cares a lot about this, my friends won’t shut up about it lol. Until now there haven’t been good alternatives.
Reddit doesn’t have the internet infrastructure FB has where they were able to monopolise the internet of whole countries in certain parts of the world.
And the wider they cast this dragnet the more users will be caught up in it, the more will slowly leave, the less content will be created, the worse the platform will get.
I think for the future of reddit you only need to look at digg.
Permanently banned last week. Mods didn’t care for my thoughts on Luigi and Trump/Musk (they’re joined at the hip AFAIC, except Trump is definately the bottom, despite his diaper issues), and the madness of MAGA. Reddit is firmly in the facist camp, just like Timmy Cook, i.e. they will follow the money and the power; their capitalist instincts are pure. Fuck them all.
I got an account warning for suggesting the French knew what to do with oligarchs.
NOTICE: You have been permanently banned. Reason(s): “not sucking dick”.
Real CTH hours. Old enough to remember when that whole sub got nuked for posting John Brown memes.
Its truly nuts over there. I have now had 5 different accounts perma banned and im tired of evading their fingerprinting just to bypass each pan for similar comments. Like nothing that the general public would find controversial even remotely.
i had 5+accts banned to, was able to evade previous attempts for misconstrued statements, because i was using reddit from a university computer,.
It’s crazy to think how hard people work to evade the system that is designed to get you to leave.
Like, it speaks to the addictive nature of social media. How many hours? How much research? How many different angles of attack? All to… what? Shout “Donald Trump is a bad president” into the void amid a sea of bots and /r/HailCorporate influencer accounts? (Incidentally, RIP HailCorporate).
the ones that are evading with 100s of accts, are there to earn money from reddit. they use paid services, like proxies, anti-detect browsers, ip changes and new devices.
Redditor since 2010 here. I didn’t try that hard. I got banned from politics, thought it was a one off. Then got a post removed for criticizing Reddit’s moderation policy. So now I’m done for real.
I tried jumping off after the API removal but Lemmy wasn’t as populated back then, and there was no immediate effect to me. More garbage, but I muted several subreddits a day and carried on. Now there are real alternatives.
Blame Murica!
Time’s have changed And Trump is getting worse He won’t obey the judges He just wants to shart and curse
Should we blame the immigrants? Or blame society? Or should we blame the Billionaires like Thiel?
No! blame Murica, blame Murica With all their MAGA conspiracies And flippin’hats made overseas
Blame Murica, blame Murica We need to form a full boycott It’s Murica’s fault.
After 50+ accounts suspended, I’m fucking done. It’s just shit.
I mean with that language of course you got banned. How dare you critique Reddit’s moderation policy? It’s explicitly against their rules.
I had my first from 2012 to about the 2020’s then I went two more mains before I fucked off for good. I might go back for certain niche uses but even then I might not. It’s been a long while and once this place picks up steam we’re gonna leave spez’s disaster in the dust
I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that the RDDT stock price has dropped 40% in the last month, and it’s not surprising. That site is a sinking ship.
The stock is so comically overpriced. Over 100 p/e. Nobody at Reddit is crying because it can’t stay inflated forever. They’re likely already all out.
And insiders dumped $59m shares in late January. Shocked, I tell you!
It’s the way of business these days. They got their money. The ship can sink now. The users suffer.
Good. The dildo of consequence is rarely lubed
Let us hope so.
