    People are saying Canadians are getting flagged for even saying/upvoting “elbows up” (I am not Canadian)

    Trump’s attempts at censorship would make Hitler proud

    Wow, they don’t even tell you what they decided your “violating actions” were.

    I’m sorry, we found that you watched a post that was against our content policy for 5 seconds instead of the maximum allowed time of 3 seconds. We will therefore suspend your account, thank you for understanding.

      I’m sure Orwell didn’t really expect telescreens to become a real thing, but we have very literally welcomed surveillance devices into our lives and homes. Now, it’s just a matter of who starts actively using them as a monitoring device.

      I’ve seen this statement like a dozen times over the last 15 years but never before has an alternative been quite as robust as Lemmy been available. Might actually see it happen this time

      Adios Reddit. Well hello Fediverse. I will switch back to lemmy. First, they took our third-party apps. Now, they are actively censoring. Farewell Reddit. Fuck u/spez

      Let’s be honest, reddit has been going downhill since at least 2014. It still exists, and will continue to, but it’s such a hollow shell of what it once was.

      I think the end of the secret santa was the beginning of the end for reddit. This is like the second day after the Normandy landing for Germany.

          It was just a thing you could sign up for every year and buy someone else and gift somewhere in the world. You would put your information in and everything would get coordinated so that gifts went all over. It was overall cool. Some people took advantage of course but you’d be banned if you didn’t send out a gift and only received a gift.

    This is new. I have never seen this before. Reminds me of mods of groups banning people just because they are subscribed to other groups that those mods don’t like. So much for free speech
