My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn’t see this earier.
Anyways I think this is a dangerous chilling effect and reddit has a terrible track record for not using this as intended, so I can only expect Reddit Admins to use this beyond warning, I expect bans and this used in warrants/NSLs quickly.
Stop using reddit, stop going to reddit. And bring everyone you can to Lemmy. I want to be able to cut out my city subreddits like /r/Denver like a clean shit.
It’s amazing how they tolerated people preaching for violence against women and immigrants for over a decade, but all of sudden their passion for non-violence is so extreme after a rich white guy gets killed.
Grateful to be here and help this place grow. I’m so over Reddit.

fuck reddit
you know it’s bad when ohanian and rose have gotten together to make a new digg
I hope lemmy servers are ready for another population boom.
Anyone that’s stuck with reddit this long probably thinks this sort of thing is a good idea.
Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who have still never heard of Lemmy on Reddit. I mentioned it in a post about this and got flooded with people asking me what Lemmy is and how to sign up.
I got banned yesterday and did not know what Lemmy was until I did a search for Reddit alternatives.
Welcome new guy. Hope you like beans!
This is true. I do a bit of shepherding myself, and many have never heard of Lemmy. Don’t give up on them!
anyone who engages in the news and political, and adjacent subs, are addicted, they wont leave.
Perhaps. I found those types of things the easiest to replace. Plenty of people on Lemmy talking about news / politics. You guys don’t have enough niche hobbies though. I do often miss my underwater basket weaving sub and having a reliable stream of cake fart porn.
They’ll get banned eventually for upvoting something on a gaming sub that mentions Luigi’s mansion. Then they’ll be confused for a while and move to the next app
I remember Reddit. I used to like it there.
Spez has gone so far beyond being a mere cuck. He’s a goddamn cuckasauras.
Thats some goddamn thought police shit.
Also tells you how goddamn awful the powers that be are, that the only way they can stop criticism of their badness is to ban anyone that even gives the lowest effort agreement with the criticism.
And now here I am.
reddit permabans you for vague interpretations of things they consider “threatening”
its already a thought crime zone.
Reddit sets the threshold for violent content really low. At one point someone asked if a prisoner who is medically revived from the dead has served their life sentence, I answered that you have to be irrevocably dead, and admins said that promoted or glorified violence. I made no mention of violence whatsoever, nothing I said encouraged violence in any way, and somehow even on appeal they didn’t realize how ridiculous that was.
Yeah, that’s why I’m here now. That site has just been getting shittier and shittier.
Reddit going full mask-off 1984 huh? Next thing it’ll be illegal to downvote things Reddit likes to push… Or why even bother with the votes anyway, Reddit will just show you only the things that it deems good for you, like the benevolent Big Brother.
Fuck that place.
Also: welcome to all our new members! “We’re Not Perfect, But At Least We’re Not Reddit!” ™
So, stop upvoting those luigi memes. How sad
