Made my first Lemmy account after this bullshit! Took a split second to figure out, but Lemmy seems super rad so far!

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This happened to me for posting "Italian Plumbers Unite!" I got a PERMANENT BAN! I appealed and they denied it.
What are they afraid of?
Advertisers, stock prices, inverstors and other stuff like that. As in "losing money".
Yup. I got banned from a sub for using the verb "to Luigi" (someone)
now reddit is telling people to investigate the people upvoting and people who got "luigied" by the filters, as if mods are going to spend energy investigating every single instance.

I literally just deleted my reddit account. I will still go to reddit, but I will do so without logging in. Fuck them.

I hope the next guy who Luigi's a CEO legally changes his/her name to John Smith or Jane Johnson or something extremely common.

Quite literally signed up for lemmy just now cause of this. So many of the sites that helped make the internet boring are committing self harm, twitter, fb, and now reddit - the old "decentralization" arguments were kind of boring to me but now I ache for the old internet and gosh darn it if the billionaires are making the best case against themselves.

The enshittification of Reddit started when they hid new features behind API in order to push their shitty official app. Every next move just made the slippery slope steeper.

What about Luigi, the 1959 Fiat 500 from the movie Cars? Reddit is fucked up.
LUIGI LUIGI LUIGI
So I had an account under a similar name to this one, but it got perma-banned a few months back. Not even Luigi related. Remember when that Nazi incel Nick Fuentes got doxxed? I made a comment that basically said "he should be happy now that women know where he lives so they can come share a cocktail with him", with a gif of a Molotov cocktail. I thought it was pretty funny. Banned for glorifying/promoting violence. Against a Nazi.
More recently, my other account got perma-banned from r/insanepeoplefacebook for "hate speech" because of this comment:
So yeah. Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Free Luigi.

I got banned for talking about Luigi too much.
Free Luigi. Free Palestine.
Doesn’t matter the mod nazis band me for ever and ever. Fuck that place.
I knew Reddit was dying after they went public and immediately purged all the mods who didn't fall in line. It was disheartening to see so many users continue to shill for such decisions. Maybe it was a lot of bots, who knows. But watching this site explode in popularity after these new changes is encouraging. Everyone here should do their part to inform people of this place and continue to stay connected. Good luck everyone!

Everyone just refer to his brother Mario
Yep this is why I'm here 🤭
The one thing conservatives where right about: Reddit is a censored hellhole.
