I mean things could not matter potentially but I left Reddit permanently and came here cause of this.
Echoing this.
They have a price that’s still hundreds of times above their earnings. The stock is comically overvalued. It isn’t crashing and it has nothing to do with Luigi posting. Air is just coming out of an equities market that’s been hyper-inflated since before COVID.
I fear that a manufactured depression is forming that will completely wipe out the remnants of the middle class (workers who own assets).
Seems to be the intent
Given that Xitter is going down the proverbial toilet, I am surprised Reddt didn’t see the risks in turning their platform into a right-wing cesspool.
This is u/spez we’re talking about here c’mon.
Spaz IS a right wing cesspool. So it is to be expected
Not surprising seeing as theyve also been unjustly banning people again. Just got booted off the site today and was given zero explanation besides I “incited violence.” The link to the supposed “violation” didnt work then when I asked in my appeal they wouldnt tell me anything. Im left to assume its because my politics didnt agree with the current regime.
Musk has been pressuring them to go after critics of him, and the administration, and Reddit is capitulating. Cowards.
I suspect it is because they want to buy TikTok, and they know HitlerPig will award it based on appeasement and the bribe.
It’ll be funny to watch them start lifting those bans when they realize bending the knee to fascists isn’t gonna save the site. Oh well. They’ve shown their true colors as a platform.
I’ve wondered if that will happen once they realize they’ve chased off so many core members.
I’m not sure I’d return. I like the higher volume of posts on Reddit, especially in niche subs, but i don’t miss the bots, trolls, puns, novelty accounts, Russian karma farmers, etc.
I was sign up number 3 the day they added accounts. I made I think one of the 1st hundred comments ever. I’ll never go back for any reason. The place is a joke, and what people keep going back for are the memories of what it was, not what it is.
I don’t think i would. There would have to be mass firings and a complete restructuring of the company for me to consider that.
I gave up the game there after 12 years… of mostly lurking though.
I’m just trying to get permabanned for mentioning Lemmy and sharing my views on billionaires at this point
Same bro I got a three day ban yesterday.
They gave me one too, but I extended it to perma just to make sure I don’t feel tempted to go back.
Same lol. I just had to ban evade and say that last patriot comment about amplifying the idiots and supressing the dissenters is not how we should run a democracy. Boom permaban. Do not question reddit moderation policy. It’s worse than luigi.
As you should
Yeah, they gave me a three day ban a few days ago, so I joined here. I have no plans on going back ever. I uninstalled the reddit app. I had been on that site to some degree for more than half my life.
Last week, I got a 3 day ban from Reddit. The next day it turned into a permanent ban. Reddit claimed that it was due to a comment made about a video, showing a coach pull the ponytail of one of the girls on his team. While I don’t recall what my comment was, as the father of a HS girl who plays sports, it bothered me, but as a man in his 50s, who played football in the 1980s, who periodically got his ass kicked by his coach, when he screwed up, it didn’t bother me enough to say anything terrible. Of course, they deleted the post, and refused to elaborate. I’ve been supportive of Luigi, and have heard that Reddit was coming after Luigi supporters, so I thought that could be the real reason. Who really knows?
I had a 12 year account and almost a million karma, and was permabanned after the inauguration for a comment i had made many times. I came to Lemmy and found i was part of a bloodbath.
I’ve seen many people with bans on 10+ year accounts. We’re the people who built Reddit. Somehow we managed to make thousands of posts for all those years without bans, and suddenly all of us posted lifetime-bannable posts in the same month?
I was coming up on 4 years. I haven’t brought myself to deleting the app though, as there are some good subs there. I’ve been here for less than 1 full day so far, so I have a lot of exploring to do.
Crazy I know the exact video you are talking about. Wild that posting on that, of all things, got you banned.
My teen daughters were both surprised, when I told them of my ban - like I’m some sort of subversive rebel they didn’t know existed. They both laughed when I told them what Reddit said was the reason, and were both familiar with the video, from other sources. Life goes on. Less time on a screen can’t do any harm.
I am proudly permabanned from reddit for telling people to punch Nazis.
Punching nazis isnt mindless violence. Its violence against the mindless
That was my first temp ban, years ago. I was shocked. You can’t be pro-Nazi punching?
I was permabanned for telling mods they have tiny peen syndrome.
Banned from politics after someone said there was going to be violence. I said “the tree of liberty and all that, right?”. Facism takes root when people self censor and over compensate.
They permabanned my main and unrelated business account for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot. Apparently not caring is also “promoting violence.”
Cheney is a warmonger who has called for the killing of millions in unjust wars. I don’t care if someone threatens her.
Oh yea I was banned years ago for not caring when Herman Cain died. Previously they would do it temporarily (like when he died they went on a spree) but now it’s just permanent bannings for wrong think over there.
I got a 3 day ban for agreeing that putin should die (after Selenskyj said it would soon be so) and the joking wish that his natural death also happens to his chosen successors.
Now im here.
Hey that literally just happened to me too.
shortly after the article came out talking about how Reddit is bending the knee to Musky’s hissy fit, I received two notifications from Reddit; one, a 7-Day ban for “breaking multiple rules” but not telling me what actually happened, and after sending them an appeal asking what exactly I was banned for, I received the second notification, telling me that I was permanently banned for, again, “breaking multiple rules”.
as far as I’m concerned, I’m finally free.
I’ve been banned by reddit many times, but they always coincided with disagreeing with a mod. They don’t need to tell you what rules you broke when it was just a disagreement.
I once got a banned from a sub for a comment I made in a completely unrelated sub. The Mod saw my comment, didn’t like it, but didn’t have the power to ban me in that sub, so they banned me in theirs.
The one time this happened with me was with Worldnews after I told some racist shithead making derogatory, sexist comments against third world women (specifically, the Philippines, where I’m from) to shut up and stick to gardening. Got permabanned from the sub AND a 7 day suspension from Reddit. Racist guy got no punish of course.
So, it seems like this sort of thing commonly happens with big default subs, because I’ve never had a sub ban coincide with a Reddit suspension like that anywhere else.
They just told me I incited violence then kicked me out. No elaboration or anything. Now I’m here and finally free
I just got a 3 day ban for saying that it’s everyone’s civic duty to doxx anyone they know involved in this current administration’s nazi bullshit.
I still stand by that, and as soon as the ban clears I’m going to be wiping my account and closing it for good. Fuck that place.
I brought attention to some concerning moderation in spaces related to sex (and sexual assault recovery - a lot of subreddits are places for people to find victims to get them to tell their stories for “enjoyment”) and got some sort of IP ban a while back.
Keep in mind there’s circumstantial evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell might have been a power mod too.
Doxxing is against ToS and also just, straight up illegal lawfully in most places around the world, and wouldn’t be acceptable even on Lemmy. So I don’t really see that as an unreasonable ban, even if you had a good reason to say it.
Depends what you mean by “dox” of course. Definitions matter a lot here.
Commit Reddit suicide

At least link to the Lemmy community:
Sounds like they are panicing if anything
[ Removed by Reddit ]
deleted by creator
[+]
It’s funny cause I usually agree with the removed comments based on context lol
Ooopsie, there goes your money. Not exactly a good idea to cross your community, is it?
Free Luigi.
Fuck Spez, and all that, but really, this chart isn’t much different from nearly every stock for the same time period.
I think that dip has more to do with Trump creating uncertainty in the market overall than any specific Reddit trend/policy.
Kinda…
For comparison, the S&P 500 felt 4% on the period, Nasdaq felt 7%. So 30% is really noteworth, Redddit is one of the stocks pulling the index down. But it’s not alone, and blaming it on any random cause isn’t right.
Yah, I was going to say the same thing. S&P not only dropped much less, it dropped at a different time and slope. S&P dropped in line with when Trump took office and has been relatively flat. Reddit has been on a constant decline since the start of the year.
I agree with the OP that reddit is a dumpsterfire, but when you try to fit reasoning into everything, at some point you come up with something that fits, even though it is nothing but a coincidence.
I seriously doubt investors give two fucks about the content moderation itself
It coincidentally happens concurrently with the purges
It’s not going to be representative unless you compare it to the same cohort - tech stocks.
Which is why they mentionned the nasdaq
Do you mean “fell”?
Also, the uncertainty should have been strong in import export or related companies. Tariffs causing issues, right? Reddit should have been somewhat resistant to that type of speculation.
I mean there’s little point to become invested in reddit when they’re going skew that far right and then censor/delete and ban everything with appeals getting ignored.
Communities are having to over moderate. I can’t even say Fuck Christians or Billionaires shouldn’t exist without it being hate speech or violence, but rightiods get to spam their lgbtq hate. And the less said about violent Porn subs the better.
Truely a dark time 😮💨
r/guro is still up r/beastlove probably is r/guroerotica r/dykebreaking
Tons and tons of violent misogyny subs. There’s a family of them around “degrading women” or whatever.
This isn’t necessarily an opposition to people enjoying dark themes in porn. But these communities aren’t even quarantined. The comment sections often are disturbing and violent in a way that even wishing Musk an enjoyable mission to the sun doesn’t compare. It’s naked hypocrisy.
I think this is important. The fascists don’t have an opposition to porn, especially violent heterosexual porn. I’ve continued to hear about how Twitter is “good” for porn.
Like with the gore subreddits (i.e watchpeopledie, eyeblech) those subs need media attention first before getting suspended for good.
Those have been gone for a while but there will always be gore subs. I remember spacedicks from way back in the day when reddit was still “good”
I think the craziest part about these dark porn subs is Everytime I mention this topic people know exactly what I’m talking about and then mention names, and subs I’ve never even heard of let alone want to comprehend.
And people want to advertise on Reddit? honestly how has this not made more news?
I can find graphic descriptions of wanting to slaughter women (and men, but less) as well as tips and tricks on how to have sex with a dog in a matter of minutes on Reddit.
Maybe someone can post an erotic story about a space billionaire getting snuffed and see if that’ll catch Reddit’s eye.
Ah a new copy pasta between that and AI I’m sure something can be done. I don’t want to risk my sanity though
Wonder if anonymous will go after Reddit now
Once upon a time I went to Reddit as a Digg refugee. Now I have come to Lemmy as a Reddit refugee.
Your username just hit me right in the feels
" you didn’t really believe that did you?"
Yes, I fucking did. And now I’m devastated to learn that cute harmless little hippos don’t live in my house. 😭
I miss media literacy Ads like the house hippo
