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!” ™
Lemmy won’t.
How about make a flag with ‘is banned’ that indicates it is banned, and then checking whether ‘is banned’ exists before allowing a post to be upvoted. You can use this for free Reddit, its a gift.
I’m workin on switching over. My third party work-around just croaked yesterday, so I’m here now. Where the party at?
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.
I was waiting for Reddit to bend in the same way the others have. It was only a matter of time.
I’m loving this. I had almost 15 years without so much as a warning and then suddenly several 3 day bans, a 7 day ban and a perma ban. They don’t want people commenting negatively towards fascism.
I’ve been a Redditor for 13 years. I read the Admin explanation and the Mods reactions and immediately downloaded Lemmy. I’m still gonna lurk just to watch the chaos but fuck that noise with someone else’s dick thank you very much.
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.
🙋🏻♂️ +1 on having received a warning. I’m a simple man. I see Luigi, I upvote.
Day 1 on lemmy so am finding my way around still :)
Sounds like its time to completely flood Reddit with ‘bannable’ content
So long, my daily streak.
I first saw this news over on Reddit, immediately searched for an alternative. Got home from work and now here I am
I think Reddit should be less strict on their ban policy. In my opinion, bans should not usually be permanent and certain disturbing content should be limited to certain subreddits and strictly prohibit any illegal content (under California or any Western law).
This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.
