Reddit

Like these post just always to be "My [Spouse/Friends/Parent/Relative] [doing a absolutely horrible thing] Am I Overreacting?" or "I told my [Spouse/Friend/Parent/Relative] to stop [doing the most horrible thing any human has ever done], but my friends told me that what I did was wrong, AITA?"

Like.... you might as well make a "My husband/wife murdered our child and I want to divorce my husband/wife, but my friends think I'm wrong and I shouldn't throw away such a long marriage for such a small conflict and try marriage counceling, AITA?"

Bruh. My sus-meter just skyrockets every time I see these posts. And like not once or twice a week, almost every day. Just scroll to like the top 5 comment in the post and there's often already a comment debunking the story with no OP reply, or linking to some of OP's older posts that has a contradicting story and finding that post has been deleted with all the comments calling out OP. Which just confirms my suspicions.

Dead Internet Theory... no longer just a theory...

Edit: Sorry for the rant, still grieving what used to be a fun site.

About a year ago I created my one and only reddit account. Never had one before. I work at a place that is semi virtual. We are required to come into the office 2 days a week. No one has their own dedicated PC. You just pick whatever is available and sign in. Obviously everyone is using the same internet access.

When at the office and I need a break I would visit a few groups of interest on Reddit. Groups that have ZERO to do with politics or anything controversial. I have never made a post or comment about anything political or controversial. I'm in groups like NFL and Dogs.

A week ago I get a message that my account is suspended for 7 days because of a violation of a "linked" account. I have NO linked account. I only use reddit while at work and no where else. I didn't appeal when I saw the message, I just said whatever. But yesterday I log in and now I am permanently banned.

Anyone have an explanation of what is going on and how to actually get unbanned.

This bug is pretty jarring at times because I have to double check.

I wish we could tell whether it was the admins or subreddit moderators using these silencing tactics.

I suppose Discord, GitHub, Steam Forums and YouTube would be better places to bring up the topic.

Lemmy has 462k users and 45k MAU, we could use a bit more content and support for our developers and instance maintainers.

l used Reddit only for a few days. Why?

Answer is simple: Got banned from r/technology for BS reason!

And what was the ban reason? For NOT using same title from article

And these soulless pathetic mods decided gave me perma ban. l then modmailed them for appeal but they didn't repond me back. l deleted my account and created new one. l modmailed the mods of r/technology again, wrote long and polite letter. After 5 minutes they said you got banned.

r/technology is really BS subreddit having pretty stript rules only allowing you psot articles with same title. Whereas on !technology@lemmy.world let's you post YT videos and other sources and they don't care about post title. l also saw some people on r/technology literally making posts that is not related to technology but they get tens of thousands of upvoted

FUCK r/technology. FUCK Reddit. FUCK u/spez!

Well now this is trashy. I got permabanned from r/interstingasfuck for posting a comment in r/MensRights that was an attempt to correct some misinformation. I've never made a post in either subreddit and that was the only comment I've ever made in the MensRights subreddit. But r/interstingasfuck's bot decided to permaban me even though I've not broken any rules.

The ban

The single comment I've ever made on r/MensRights

Man Reddit is trash.

How long will it take for Reddit to die? 5 or more years? Maybe less? What do you guys think?

The Reddit default app is so bad these days, they really want you to buy their useless internet badges.

Reddit says its daily users are up 47 percent year-over-year. Reddit just turned a profit for the first time. As part of its third-quarter earnings results released on Tuesday, the company reported a profit of $29.9 million, along with $348.4 million in revenue — a 68 percent increase year over year.

Reddit is removing the 1000 submission/comments limit on user profiles. Profiles will soon show all submissions/comments from the day the account was created.

Reddit is providing a method to delete all content by emailing redditdatarequests@reddit.com or via their form https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001370251

The submission link here on Lemmy takes you directly to a Reddit's admin submission that talks about the change.

Edit: typo, use > user Edit2: another typo

So a while ago I received a ban on r/asmongold subbredit, The ban was unjustified and the reason for it was that I wrote a comment saying that it's unfair for a streamer to ban people from their chat for simply disagreeing with their opinions.

That post got upvoted into oblivion then Asmongold himself reacted to it on stream (there's a video on his channel with him literally reading my comment, I can provide proof of what I'm saying).

The next day I was banned from the subbreddit, at first I was confused but then, when I tried to login to my 2017 reddit account I was banned again for ''Ban Evasion'', then followed with Literally a Ban spree on every single reddit account I had, some of them are old reddit accounts that has nothing to do with r/asmongold, I used them in the past to get tips and guides for games I used to play and forgot they even exist until I received an email saying that I was banned on those accounts....

And this is all bcs one streamer who can't take criticism and his twitch/reddit mods that are clearly corrupt, And now I'm banned from the entire reddit bcs I disagreed with Asmongold, That's without even mentioning that he went too far and got himself Suspended from twitch, content creators like this are everything wrong with today's internet.

So I decided to never Reddit ever again, it's literally the embodiment of everything wrong with the internet.

Goodbye Reddit. Getting rid of Google itself is my next big end of the year goal.

Edit : Looks like I'm suddenly getting downvoted, Welcome to Lemmy guys.

Edit 2 : I will be moving on from this thread guys, all I wanted is to expose the hypocrisy that is happening on reddit, and btw I have succeeded in evading my ban, I closed my reddit account when I wrote this post. thanks everyone for replying.

Maybes I missed the rule that says "Redditors that try to be helpful will be banned".

I Got permanently banned from a subreddit I liked ,and was a long time member of because I accidentally reposted something that was already posted on there before. I tried to ask the mods about the perma ban but got no response

Here's 2 post with same title, image and comment.

• On r/StardewMemes posted on 12th October. https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewMemes/comments/1g24guh/am_i_am_i_sebastian/

I'm still a mod in my city local subreddit.

One of the other mods is also involved in a Whatsapp group which, over time, has evolved to a quite active community, with subgroups dedicated to several topics to help people settling in the city (housing, finance, parenting, etc.)

The Whatsapp group has recently requested to add a link to their website in the subreddit sidebar. The mod who is also involved in thee WhatsApp group brought the topic in the mod chat.

One of the oldest mods (who isn't even modding that much these days, it's mostly another one single person, poor them btw) replied with the statement in the title.

Seems so weird to me to want to gatekeep the FAQ of a subreddit that much. The objective is to help newcomers to the city integrate, why make it difficult to have all pointers in the same place?

In addition, this is probably the kind of reactions you'll get when trying to talk about a Lemmy community on a subreddit.
