12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I’ve noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.
Reddits purpose is to create Nazis. You can post anything and use AI bots to do it as long as you push right wing propaganda.
I had a 13 year old account I simply stopped using in 2023 when compact.reddit.com was killed and the API changes fees were introduced. Lemmy was “good enough” get to get what I was getting from reddit. I stopped using reddit and haven’t posted since.
I did the same, but kept the account, just never log into it.
I deleted my accounts.
Burn that fucking bridge baby.
Its been downhill for a while but seems to have picked up speed in the last 6 months or do. Hmm. Wonder why that is.
Most of reddit is now a gross loop of ChatGPT shitting into its own mouth.
Like well obver 50% of the accounts are not real people anymore, moderation is also now handled by AI.
Reddit is fucking dead. It’s like 40% Russian psyops trolls, 25% bots, 25% Nazi trolls, 5% users, and 5% admins looking for shit to ban people for
I got a 3 day site wide ban for saying that without due process, these ICE guys are just racking up hundreds of kidnapping and trafficking charges in a sane world. The ban said I was threatening violence. I’m done with Reddit.
Loads of old accounts are now just getting perma banned site wide.
I had an accot that hadn’t been used for commenting (just the every now and then looking for something) that got perma banned about a month ago. Reason? None given.
I’m guessing they want to rid the site of users that still remember how great it once was
I heard you can get banned for how you vote now. No comments needed.
You get bot warnings for “promoting violence” or some shit. They’re basically making “thought-crimes” a thing now.
You think it’s bad? Go look at “popular” while you’re not logged in (no subs / filters). It’s shocking how insipid the experience is.
Just looked. It’s basically Trump, Trump, vapid stuff, Trump, vapid stuff, vapid stuff, Trump on repeat
Yep, also told off Nazis. Then, perm banned. I’ve been on that site for 15 years, moved over to Lemmy. Fuck Reddit.
I was permabanned twice for speaking favorably of a certain green-capped man.
Don’t worry, you can say Luigi Mangione here.
And say Luigi Mangione’s glorious name I will.

Lemmy is absolutely not beating the political tribalism allegations, holy.
Got banned for telling a Nazi off.
I hate to be that guy, but when you say “Nazi,” are you referring to a literal 1940s National Socialist German Workers Party 3rd/4th Reich “Aryan Race is superior and Jews are evil” Nazi (aka a real actual Nazi), or someone with a different political/social opinion/ideology from you (ie, a Republican/Democrat/whatever is opposite of your political/social ideology)?
I was on Reddit for like 13 years and never got banned for less than positive interactions with people that said they supported real, actual Nazis.
Found the Nazi
Yes, of course. Because only a Nazi would be concerned with trying to be respectful of victims of the awful, inhumane treatment they had to endure under the rule of one of the worst, if not the worst, governments of all time. Thank you. I should have realized this sooner.
You conveniently left out the mostly likely case of them being Neo-Nazis which have been around since post-WWII.
I mean, was not when I said “4th Reich” including Neo-Nazis? I thought that is what I included.
Just to be clear, I do not support Nazis or Neo-Nazis. But American Democrats and Republicans (or any other ideology that may be different from my own) are not Nazis or Neo-Nazis. I don’t agree with either side of American politics, but that does not make me qualify them as Nazis.
IMO, calling anyone that is not an actual, real Nazi, such as an American Democrat or Republican (or whoever else thinks opposite from me), a “Nazi” or even “Neo-Nazi,” de-values the real suffering that people who are actual Holocaust victims had to deal with. Quite frankly, is insulting to me that anyone would ever attempt to equate the two. Its like saying getting hit by a fly swatter and a train will be the same level of pain and suffering.
I might think someone who thinks opposite of me is stupid, but it is neither illegal or against any rules to be stupid (sadly). But I certainly would not call them a Nazi and de-value the suffering Holocaust victims had to go through.
Calling people nazis is just shorthand for fascist which allows people to understand the depths of the horrors these individuals will cause.
It in no way devalues the suffering of Holocaust victims, its a warning.
You dont fucking wait until they’re turning the gas valves to go ‘oh these people are fascists!’
You sound like a Nazi trying to muddy the waters to keep people from calling out Nazis.

I got permabanned just for participating in /r/enoughmuskspam. We figured out Musk frequented the sub, and as an active member who mocked him daily, I had a feeling it was coming. I’m fairly sure he flagged me and other users for permabans.
Their excuse was that I said (((Soros))) to a Nazi MAGA claiming Soros was funding all the protests, which wasn’t at all true. Why is that a bannable offense? Never seen censorship like that on the net in my life
My suspicion is that it’s happening a lot and that they want to turn Reddit red like they did with Twitter. Musk and Reddit’s CEO are pals.

You didn’t fall for it, you were shown what the site really is and made a good switch to a better website.
