    I love the simple brilliance of “Elon Musk is a bellend”, nothing more really needs to be said.

    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.

    Yup. Also got my account suspension due to “suspicious activity” on “upvoting and engaging with discriminatory and violent content”.

    Meaning I upvoted posts condemning US’s current position, and correcting the swarm of misinformation by US shills.

    Glad I finally managed to nuke my entire reddit history and delete my account. F’ that toxic cesspool. R/Europe and other euro-canadian subs already felt like more US and Russian shills were active than actual europeans or canadians.

      i felt like r/europe was very “r/politics”-like, i distinctly remember one of my old acc was banned from there from a certain comment about ukraine, right before the banning madness began. and then one of the ukraine subs, r/ukraine or ukrainewareport was also getting more restrictive.

    Never thought Reddit is so shady.

    • I literally just repeated a questionable source of a linked article (like “fox news” as a comment to highlight bias). -> 7 day ban
    • Then, i admit bad action: commented via long-time second account one single but wholesome comment during that period. (to someone in need in the same sub, giving a tip on how to handle bad lifesituation. not realizing its the same forum) -> permaban in that forum
    • 7 days of trying to talk as diplomatic and giving as possible to the mods, even revealing my innocence of my second account
      • ip ban on all my accounts without any other talks. (prolly the a mod forwarded that to reddit and they dont care at all about nuance)

    had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.

    Good riddance. Less american now, F Sillicon Valley more power to the people

      i was annoyed how many foxnews articles was being posted on subs, do you people take fox news as serious enws?

      some niche subs are super sensitive if you contradict them, something like r/gym bans you for even mentioning PEDS. i was responding someone qouting rob machelenny from isaip, said if he was juiced he would get that big, which was true by his own admission.

      I was in a similar situation karma-wise. I was happy there until I saw how ruthless the mods could be. This is a better alternative to all that.

    The Left has used and abused “Nazi” so much in recent years that it doesn’t really mean anything more than, ‘someone I don’t like’.

    I am a Reddit refugee aswel. The moderators over there are way too petty. They removed countless posts from me for totally unclear reasons.

      i think recent bans are coming from top down, aka reddit amins, and spez. the massive amount of people banned are from that right now.

      It’s dumb, you see posts deleted all the fucking time that fit the spirit of subreddits. Half the time the OPs don’t even know their post was deleted by the mods, and there’s absolutely no comment from the mods indicating why it was removed.

      I miss 2010 Reddit.

      I didn’t even wait that long. The site has been going noticably shitward for a long time. Powertripping mods with absolutely no sense of sarcasm or (gasp) humor, complete asshole userbase, comments and posts getting more and more idiotic. I still have an account but I don’t feel any need to go there anymore. Reddit was a certain day-spoiler, retrospectively.

      I don’t think most people realize, Reddit itself silently removes a lot of comments and posts, and not all of them even show up in the mod queues for mods to review them.

      It’s quite possible a Reddit AI removed your posts and no human even saw them.

        alot of the bans currently are reddit AI too. if you get that generic ban message, that doesnt give you the actual incident/comment of the ban, its most likely done automatically. its almost always “your account was ban for multi-violations on several accts” these are almost never repealable and you will get an AI rejection instead.

      I’ve never known a bigger zealot than a r/athiesm user, nor a bigger power tripper than a Reddit mod.
