Edit: apparently they’re posters you can download https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1KPaA4jNHcWLFNbjl4M1Q5HxXROnZtYXd
They also removed my lemmy post off r/youshouldknow 10k upvotes
Ironically, I swing by old.shittyplace.com to check out /r/conservative and/or /r/askaconservative every so often to see if any of them are starting to figure it out yet (spoiler alert: they aren’t, or they are celebrating it), and they always have a first page thread about how Reddit is just a liberal recruiting mouthpiece these days etc etc.
Today is no exception.
And for a bonus they have a thread about how Ask Reddit is just out of control with bait for conservatives - I took a peek and there are two current threads that have anything at all to do with conservatives.
The conservative persecution complex is strong, never fear.
Remember, conservative voices must be getting silenced because they never shut the fuck up telling us so.
Demonizing outside influences is common to all cults. It innoculates the cult members to those outside influences, leading them to immediately disregard information that contradicts their cultist beliefs, keeping them trapped within the cult’s echo chamber more effectively. To keep the cultists innoculated, they have to constantly remind them that they and their beliefs are being persecuted and that the only source of truth, is the cult leaders.
That said, how “real” is r/conservative? I just checked it and every single thread is flaired users only. It’s a far more controlled echo chamber than the Donald was in it’s heyday, and when the Sint-Petersburg troll farm was brought offline during the usa elections of 2018, the Donald was gone from reddit’s front page for the duration.
To me it seems like r/conservative is a method of distributing the current narrative to cultists, but it doesn’t require actual input or discussion from those cultists. It seems to actually discourage posting by normal conservative users, since any kind of wrongthink will lead to a ban, and it’s hard to keep up with the changing narratives for normal users, so catching a ban is easy.
Trump is openly preparing to invade both Canada and Mexico and these motherfuckers are bitching about Musk being called what he is!
The party of “fuck your feelings” everyone!
I just got a violent content warning for upvoting someone calling musk a “stupid person’s version of a smart man” on a post about his trucks being vandalized.
Jfc people should be allowed to call dumb people dumb.
I know. I just like pretending to have a miniscule amount of hope.
I’m about at my wits end with Reddit as a regular user. I have 2 accounts that I’ve used there for a while. One of them is my main user account, the other I use mostly to mod some subs.
My main account recently caught a 7 day ban because of their stupid new “Violence” bullshit. It’s so targeted, and blatantly obvious that it really only applies to comments about certain things. They removed the comment that supposedly triggered it, but all I was was
Hey Leon, you remember when you hit the cybertruck with a baseball bat? Why don’t you go fuck yourself with it.
That’s it, that’s all I said. You could post that same comment directed at an actual Reddit user, and not catch a ban.
Don’t misunderstand me here. I am not now, nor have a I ever been under the delusion that Reddit was the bastion of free speech they tried to claim for years. But seriously, they need to get their fucking heads out of their fucking asses.
They won’t get their heads out of their asses. This recent censorship caused me to delete 13 years of comments and posts and delete my account entirely. Good riddance.
Curious. Did you use a tool to delete it?
I tried a Chrome plugin that had the limitation of 50 comments / posts a day but required money to do more. I had the day off, so I ended up doing it manually. Was a real trip seeing all the comments and stuff I’d forgotten about from all those years ago when Reddit was still a cool place and people were mostly cool.
I got perma banned from my OG account for engaging with ruzzian trolls. Apparently telling them they’d look good fertilizing sunflowers, and digging babushka a fresh latrine pit is “promoting violence”. No warnings, just straight to ban. Reddit allows obvious ruzzian gas lighters, but bans those who call them out. That is Reddit today, a hotbed of ruzzian and nazi propaganda.
I got perma banned for being too mean to MAGAs
you probably offended u/Spez on his alt account .
alot of politics and news subs have been co-opted by right leaning people.
Me as well and then I got banned later for evading the band
So when does Reddit run out of users?
Better question. When does reddit run out of real users.
Everyone of us that gets banned gets replaced by 3 ruzzian bots. So never. But when does the public realize that reddit is an echo chamber of polarizing bots? dunno.
You hurt their feelings!
Yea, it’s not difficult to do that. They’re more sensitive than a clit.
Empathy and clits - two things MAGA never find
Same here, I simply made a comment about “the Muscovites receiving a dose of their own medicine” and fucking Russian shill, Putin Bot and/or MAGAt reported me. To top it off, I did not use a single swear word in the comment. Fuck Russia and Reddit.
It’s hilarious how magats don’t like free speech when it’s directed against them. Bunch of loathesome pussies.
i always commented on many of those subs, how alot of them are just russian bots/trolls, and people respond to these posts like its an actual person doing it, no its all russia. Half of the comments are more than likely russian bots, if reddit actually DOES ITS JOBS, reddit would be a very quiet place. i get that theres alot from US propaganda farms, but it pales in comparison to russia.
you can say russian. you dont need the weird edits here.
The ‘z’ for me emphasizes the fact that not all russians are war hungery, ignorant ruzzians. Just like all Americans are not Magatz
It’s derogatory. It’s a play on the stupid “Z” they had on all their vehicles when they invaded Ukraine. “Cuntistan” would probably have got me banned. Anyway, I’ll misspell the names of any country I loathe, as much as I like :)
Fair enough.
the punisher sticker you mean, lol.
i got temp ban, for reporting trolls, lol. apparently reporting more than once in arbitrary amount of time, is considered report abuse. its the same type of comments you hear from .ml false, pushing a botty narrative.
That’s what I got banned for, though mine was permanent.
There has been a recent flood of pro-russia pro-trump moderators in almost all the reddit subs i frequent. I also just got a permanant ban for evasion to post this. “It wasn’t enought to just amplify the idiots voices, they have to smother the voices of reason and doubt” Apparently that was uncivil way to speak about the mods.
Reddit has gone the way of Twitter…
Always with the lame death threats from a basement. It’s the one rule of reddit.
There was no death threat from me, and what else do you suggest when dealing with a gas lighter or out and out liar? Just lie back and take it?
Reddit sure loves to protect U.S. fascists.
all the big media corporations do. so weird. probably a coincidence.
Just the US ones?
👀
Removing stuff from reddit will make people look for alternatives, good for lemmy.
I just deleted my reddit account. 🤟😎
Same. Too much censorship, too many bots
I deleted my reddit account yesterday. I used Revedit and I realised that most of the comments I had made on there had been removed or hidden without me ever realising…
I was blown away by how many completely normal comments (just part of discussions, not even political) have been removed. Pretty sure reddit automod is broken and I’m not sure if reddit devs are even aware of it
I’m not sure if reddit devs are even aware of it
They likely are, but management is also likely rejecting any attempts to fix it.
I deleted my account yesterday too, I came to Lemmy on the API Exodus and very occasionally checked Reddit but never came around to delete my account until now. Same with my Twitter account.
It’s become pretty clear that Reddit has chosen to slide into corpo-fascism. Don’t be surprised when signs of dissent are squashed, when rebellious subreddits are systematically suppressed until they’re removed entirely, when the accounts of those who resist are closed and IP banned. Abandon all hope of free expression there, they’ve chosen their side and aren’t going to entertain the opposition any longer.
After 12 years, and nearly a million karma, i was permabanned right after HitlerPig was inaugurated, for repeating an opinion that i have stated many times. Nobody ever said a word until HitlerPig was in office, then suddenly I was permabanned. I came over to Lemmy, only to find i wasn’t alone.
I suspect the reason is because Ohanion wamts to buy TikTok, and he knows that HitlerPig will be making the decision personally, based on who smooches his ass, follows his orders, and pays the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he abandons Reddit’s doctrine of Free Speech.
Reddit’s doctrine of Free Speech.
lol. this is the company that to this day makes zero mention of Aaron Swartz as a cofounder.
Man that is such a painful travesty. I can’t imagine trashing your friend and cofounder into the trash like that after what happened. We will remember Aaron.
no but see corporations are your friends and can be loyal to stuff.
This is the advantage of decentralized platforms like Lemmy. One billionaire can’t screw things up for millions of users. They would have to take over all 600 Instances in many different countries to control it.
And then someone would just make a new instance or platform anyways lol
Reddit is a Nazi web site.
Reddit is run by Nazis*
You know how the Germans see it. " If there are 4 people at the table and one of them is a nazi, then there are 4 Nazis at the table"
I see MAGA the same way.
…so it’s a Nazi website.
Because those who appease our new robot overlords will be handsomely rewarded! (Or at least tortured slightly less)

Info hazard! INFO HAZARD!
SOMEONE DEPLOY CONTAINMENT OR A COUNTERMEME
For some reason this pixellated mandleblot took me back to 1993
That’s not how it works, damn you!
This is one of the dumbest shit I have ever read.
It is also regarded as a simplified, derivative version of Pascal’s wager.
Pascal’s wager is really dumb, too, so this tracks.
Enjoy your punishment. 🤣
I never got the motivation this “otherwise benevolent superintelligence” would have to behave like this. There seems to be absolutely no benefit whatsoever that could be derived retroactively punishing people for not working on it (hard enough). Whether or not it does is immaterial to the motivation of those who were convinced it might.
Also, focusing on one possible future scenario and completely ordering your life around it seems, like, dumb.
Yea. Punishment only make sense in influencing future behavior. Once the AI exist… it already exists…

They can get appease of my balls.
Sounds painful. They’ll appreciate that.
I like you. I will cruelly disembowel you last.
Worth it!
This is so sad to see. I had many years of fun on reddit. I wish it wouldnt have become so commercialized. Money just ruins shit too often
There should be a law that when you go public ipo you have to change your brand name. It ain’t Reddit anymore.
wait, you mean ash cans and unobtainable dollars aren’t the thing we should all be aspiring to?
Tesla is losing a pile of cash, anyone know how low it needs to go until Musk is going to get a margin call and the whole thing comes crumbling down? He has leveraged himself to the max.
Tesla isn’t really losing anything except a bunch of fake market value. It was incredibly overvalued, and now this market correction is sorting itself out.
Idk
manfriend. I’m kind of worried that this is the start of a big economic recession due to isolationist, regressive, accelerationist etc policies by far right govts.
~$100 was what I’ve seen claimed, but I dont think anyone but the Saudis really know.
Im pretty sure it was $167. He had crossed the margin threshold once before in 2022. I’m guessing Morgan Stanley picked up some shares and dumped them. 140-167 if memory serves. Im snagging 100p for next year
