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.

Speedrunning a permaban on my 15 year old account. How many days do you think it will take?

Banning accounts from just upvoting is insane.

[–] henry1917@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago (3 children)

They ban u for upvoting? Not even commenting, but literally just upvoting?

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.

[–] PaulBunyan@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

My 12 year old account got permanently suspended after an alt got a ban from r/entertainment for disagreeing with someone. Neither of us warranted a ban. Since I couldn’t block the sub from the news feed I accidentally commented again in the sub with my banned account not realizing the sub I was in. Then I commented with my main and got permanently banned. I appealed but didn’t get a response. This all happened over the course of a month or so and left an awful taste in my mouth.

I don’t know if you saw this article, but it’s a fascinating and infuriating read, it’s about all of the Luigi censorship and the upvote policing. It’s scary as hell. Check it out

Only comedy revolving around punching down is legal. Joke around about punching up... that's illegal now.

[–] Veneroso@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Illegal! Just like Elon's immigration status when he and his brother overstayed their visa!

Also Epstein set up his brother on a date!

Bazinga!

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 35 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Please let them implode.

I want Lemmy to have niche content. I'm tired of being a bitter asshole about politics and news on here. I want to gleefully distract myself while my country burns, not be ultra depressed about it because its constantly in my face.

Man isn't even convicted yet and his name is taboo.

The rich are scared. Good. They should be.

[–] courageousstep@lemm.ee 85 points 4 days ago

That’s exactly what we need to take from this. Not that money is in control and that’s why they’re cracking down, but that they’re cracking down because they’re scared.

Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can't even reply to? Are they also sending out these messages to people upvoting /r/Conservative content? What about/r/Conspiracy?

Darn. I guess this means me making a Reddit account to confess that Luigi was my first videogame character crush ever is out of the question.

[–] dadapop@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

hey so i started looking at a new place because I'm tired of reddit and the people on it.... My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn't even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy's back is turned on your icon you're in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren't showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don't know if this is related to luigi but it's some weird nonsense.

so would this work if I made a comment then edited it?

I'm thinking it would be fucking hilarious to go on conservative and get them to upvote it only to edit it to say something like, "Luigi is a hero!", then they just start banning all the bots and conservatives.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 162 points 4 days ago (6 children)

"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, reading content that breaks the rules is also considered a violation."

"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, thinking about breaking the law is also considered a violation."

"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, protesting human rights violations is also considered a violation."

"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, being an unapproved minority is also considered a violation."

"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, not drinking enough verification cans is also considered a violation."

They're scared. Spez knows his neck is on the line in a more literal fashion than ever.

I deleted my 11 year old Reddit account a couple days ago after being banned for quoting The Sopranos. On r/movies. As a response to another Sopranos quote.

For most of those 11 years I had no problems then just in the last month I was banned sitewide twice (for threatening behavior, I was venting about fascists and used violent rhetoric I guess, mind you this was on a repost of that famous video of a Nazi getting punched), given this same warning you got about upvoting things they didn’t like, permabanned from r/movies (again for the same quote), I just reached my limit. Reddit was great for me for a long time but I am better off without it. I was on it too much anyways!

[–] Stonewyvvern@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

One of my buddies was recently complaining about "free speech" on Reddit.

Told him it's a company and not the government, so free speech doesn't count there. He hated that.

Told him if he didn't like it to use Bluesky...he's a staunch conservative...lol

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (2 children)

If you wanna do it fast, just speak ill of fascists. Worked for me.

Whatever their goal is, one result is apparent: less voicing of opposite views to the status quo on their website.

HELL YES COMRADE, FIGHT THE POWER

fr though, this is such a badass way to get banned. don't even reply to them - just keep doing the thing, post, and watch as every pathetic attempt at intimidation gets hundreds of defiant upvotes here.

Don't get permabanned! Sell your precious account first ;) it will be used to spam on Reddit and you'll get some money, it's a win-win situation!

[–] ericatty@infosec.pub 15 points 3 days ago

Yes, please tell us where we need to not go to avoid accidentally selling our reddit accounts

Hahahahahahahhahahaha this is wild. It’s so blatant. It’s just so unrepentantly, obviously, nakedly blatant. Jesus fuck.

Like im glad you guys are all getting out and finding us and other similar communities, but like… the societal and systemic implications of them going so hard on this on reddit makes me shudder to consider how insane moderation must be getting on normie social networks, which have been traditionally WILDLY awful on that point even before we decided to break fascist. This is them actively and aggressively suppressing free speech. Mahmoud Khalil was/is another instance of that. This is us not keeping the republic.

I'm not petty at all 😅

[–] dzso@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

Talk about the thought police! I saw it coming for awhile, but past me from a decade ago is shocked that Reddit has come to this.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 56 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Took less than 1 for me, but it was only a 10 year old account

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Be sure to delete your old content. They did the warning: 3 day suspension:perma-ban combo on me (all in one day), so I couldn't delete mine.
