Bye Reddit

A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.

There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.

It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

MODERATORS
 

I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

As much as I want to move away from Reddit completely, so much of information I search is from Reddit (because regular SEO results are trash so I always search on Reddit instead). Does anyone have any suggestions to other alternatives?

HOA's are communism for libertarians. I think the comparison is apt.

Ive seen the same thing reported on Lemmy.

Moderators need to be careful to not fall into the same trap.

Just made my account. Reddit can no longer be a trustworthy site since Spez keeps shitting all over the site with dumb ass rules.

Ugh. Another goddamn September.

You’d think asking people what they’d do to celebrate when he dies would be encouraging violence….

But it’s Reddit, so it’s probably a bait post to remove people who respond “incorrectly.”

The ignorant will be conditioned through social media. Reddit has no need for those that can think for themselves.

I understand that there are laws against violent speech online so the platforms have their hands tied in some ways, but they are completely fucking stupid. We need to get rid of them entirely. People are just going to say "luigi them," instead of "kill them," then "luigi" will become a banned keyword, it will get replaced with something else and so on forever. Especially when your country is at war, there is no way to talk about reality without talking about violence. And violence is justified in self defense. These laws are the product of some soy ass peace time virtue signalers and need to be immediately overturned so that people can begin organizing an insurgency for when the yanks invade.
