Reddit has become practically unusable. Mods censor EVERYTHING even if it doesn't "break the rules" it's worthless trying to have honest discussions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Not even censoring, also outright stealing for karma farming. I've had perfectly normal photos being criticized as not within the rules for bullshit reasons. An alcoholic drink aggressively marketed in two "variations" for men in women in pointlessly gendered was taken down with the bullshit excuse, that men and women have different metabolisms so it wasn't pointless. A week later there was a post about this drink with a lot of upvotes and my exact photo from our local supermarket. It was posted by one of the very active accounts. Mods are taking down promising content in some subs just to post it themselves.

I once said on /r/nintendo in the context of Nintendo increasing the price of games that even if you enjoy their products, there’s no excuse to defend their anti consumer practices and that there was way too much “corporate boot licking” among Nintendo fans. It wasn’t a statement directed at anyone specifically, but I got a temporary ban for “derogatory name calling.”

Like…I fully understand it’s going to be a sub of Nintendo fans, and I also consider myself a fan of a lot of their games, but if you aren’t allowed to be critical…then banning me for that post kinda proved my point, lol.

Mods censor EVERYTHING

This is not a Reddit issue, this is a "subreddit I'm subscribed to" issue. I'm not seeing that problem.

The problem I AM seeing, though, that's ACTUALLY making it unusable is how they fucked up the latest UI redesign. Ctrl+Enter no longer works, spellcheck is force-disabled when using the Markdown editor, posts no longer open in a panel, you have to open each one in a separate tab or reload the main feed every single time, everything is slow and clunky... It's just badly written, badly optimised and badly designed overall.

old.reddit.com is still the best client.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Unfortunately, yes.

I got an instant permanent auto ban for joking about pushing someone down the stairs. It was 'supporting violence'. I appealed and it was auto rejected. It's become absurd.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

i got a ban for reporting a sub too often where people sold CSAM

[–] [email protected] 1 points 24 minutes ago* (last edited 24 minutes ago)

Smh I've heard about a ton of stupid reddit bans but this one takes the cake. I guess if you keep reporting it they'd have to actually do something about it so they prefer to ban you and pretend it doesn't exist.

Luigi is a hero and I don't care if anyone thinks otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Luigi is a bright, shinning example of what happens when the powers that be stop listening to the complaints and needs of the peasantry.

You'd think they'd have learned that the last several dozen times lords got too high and mighty and triggered a violent revolt/uprising.. but alas..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Luigi is an innocent person who is being framed for being a shooter.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

If they sentence him to death it's gonna be the white people version of George Floyd.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

Luigi is also, in all probability, innocent.

Which means the Claims Adjuster is still at large.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I dropped Reddit when it was announced that you could be banned for upvoting something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I just continued using posting the same things I did before until I got banned, trying to figure out how to evade the ban for the sake of it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Can you catch me up on the lore here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

They are memory-holing Luigi over there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

How? I thought moderators could only control individual /c/ ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh mb, I thought we were talking about Reddit

[–] [email protected] 12 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Dude im so tired of bans and creepy tracking that ensures you cant engage on the site... I do enjoy the reddit user friendly platform but im so sick of the overreach from the mods.. i have had an account up for a while that just got permanently banned because I accidentally engaged with a sub i forgot had banned my og account.. and because of that old account that had an IP ban it was somehow tied to my new account made a whole year later! Even though i use duckduckgo with full protection and cleared all my data.. but Im done.. its not worth the headache..and trying to use lemmy world now feels better. Still getting used to it here

your comment has been automatically removed because you didn't choose the right flair.

your comment has been automatically removed because it doesn't adhere to "fuckshitstack" guidelines

your comment has been automatically removed because it didn't kiss the mods' asses enough

your comment has been automatically removed, to become verified, take a photo of your driver's license, your social security card, and yourself holding both of them, in each arm. SUBMISSIONS WITH BOTH CARDS IN ONE HAND WILL BE DELETED! PLEASE, READ THE STICKY.

I fucking hate Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

So spot on! And i needed a place to vent. I'm glad lemmyworld lets us do that. But I'm so done with reddit. They leave up absolutely toxic awful comments and users that are actually bots, but then punish and route out real users... I didn't really believe the dead internet theory until i realized how much reddit targets real users..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

I hear you. Right there with ya.

Their threshold for "calls to violence" is ridiculous. Got a ban for commenting I'd slap someone just like the person who got pranked slapped the person who jump scared them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

My ban was for saying there should be mass protests outside the building in which that American judge was held and that these protests should prevent anyone from entering or leaving until that judge is released. Apparently, that's "violence", even though it's self-defence against the violence of a fascist state.

My ban. A bloke purposely ran over a 12 year old boy that was riding his bike. Seems a group of youths had verbally hassled this bloke so this was his reaction. Thankfully it was caught on film. This happened about 50 miles from me here in Australia.

Well anyway my comment was that if he had run over one of my two boys he might have ended up in hospital, there might be broken bones and I might end up in prison. I mean it was an angry knee jerk reaction to a horrible situation.

Well I got a site wide ban for threatening violence. I didn't actually threaten anybody. No warning, no temp ban, not just banned from that one sub. Appealed but it fell in deaf ears.
