This is my first time here. I do not abide thought policing. Fuck Reddit, fuck Spez.
Welcome! To the good place
its thier OVERPOLICING that was the problem, it wouldve been fine if all they did was ban actual BOTS, you know the propaganda ones, but nope they went after everyone more aggresively than they did the above mentioned bots.
What happened around February 12?
Maybe defederation or privatization
Always happy to see the Fediverse getting more popular! 😃
Lets just have each of us 50k post about Lemmy over on Reddit.
Can't. Banned for a 3-month old post supporting Luigi.
Clearly the inferior Mario brother.
they went after your acct of 3month old post? im not surprised i find if i dont delete some comments some user was going into Old POSTS AND reporting it.
Been checking and commenting on Lemmy everyday since I made my account. Its my new first opened app of the day now
and its so much better than trying to do that on reddit witha new account, they make it very hard engage with a brand new acct.
Shaddow Banned from Reddit for making some Luigi Mangione prayer candles got thousands of likes and bam old high karma account banned forever. No response from Reddit. Noticed on the shadow ban page that tons of people getting these bans everyday and no response from Reddit . Suggested we protest at Reddit headquarters in SF and now I’m banned from Shadow page ban lol. Nice to be here though
At least a protest outside their HQ you can hold up pro Luigi content.
reddit has been going hard in being anti-luigi site recently. the 3 main subs are know that is controlled actively by admin is the shadowban, reddithelp, help, and by extension modhelp.
It's a bizarre thing to go after. I really don't like the pro luigi posts cos he murdered someone and that's not ok... but people are allowed to have their own opinion and most of it IME is tongue in cheek. There's far more important issues they could look at (Russian interference, reddit being used for crime etc) but no... luigi. Ffs.
What happened 2/12?
Hexbear lost its domain and went offline
Hey everybody! This guy doesn't know about 2/12! Let's all laugh at him! Ha ha ha ha ha!
.........I have no idea. Does ANYONE know what happened?
hexbear lost its domain and went offline
Holy shit, what was a month ago??? Feels like last week.
Didn't they start back up on another domain?
I was fed up with reddit and looking to make a change that won't put money in spez's pocket, arrived a few days ago.
I just arrived today myself, after being temp-banned for 7 days for some bullshit reasons that the appeal team agreed were bullshit so they unbanned me, but not before someone else perma-banned me for violating the rules on 'my other accounts' -- I've had a single reddit account for the entire 14 years I've been there, I don't even make throwaways, so, even more bullshit. I appealed that one too, but even if it's overturned I'm not sure I'm going back. They've gotten real fucking fashy all of a sudden with the censorship, banning people for upvoting shit and calling it 'inciting violence.' Fuck 'em.
i heard about that situation, some people were getting temp banned, and then when the ban was lifted, they were permabanned. I think some mods mentioned reddit, or the sub does not reset thier filters once the bans was lifted so the filters automatically assume you are EVADING A ban.
The message about my perma-ban was actually 11 hours older than the message about my temp-ban being lifted, so they perma-banned me and then un-temp-banned me, which is.. kinda fucky.
thier filters are so haphazardly banning people, not even verify a violation, thats what im seeing. i just deleted all my perma-banned accts, its pretty hard to repeal once they give a permaban that doesnt state where and what the violation was.
This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:
I hope you have a good time here as well!
One of us one of us!
I didn't realize that was only 50 thousand users. Muddy have been only 5000 in 2023 during the API Exodus.
Literally seems like 1/4 the comments of Reddit, 1/1000 the userbase. I think between API lockdown and "violence" banning, the entire commenting community of Reddit came here lol.
when they allow so much astroturfing from the right, and anything remotely try to use a neutral word to describe a controversial ones, eg demographic instead of the POC actual race, will get you banned.
50 thousand users
Active users, so vote, post or comment. Lurkers aren't counted.
