Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn’t really on topic, but it’s happening anyways! I’m hungry.
Burrito pilled Lemmy maxing
Try explaining that term to someone in 1925. I’m proud of how far we’ve come.
What about Lemmy-pilled burrito maxing, are we cool with that too?
frfr
Already got permabanned for saying he was justified, I like it better here anyway
I got banned but their site is so shit the links to the message you got banned for never work. Been banned/warned enough times it’s not a one off either.
Same here.
What’s in your burrito? My favorite is adobada.
I like beans in mine.
Between his username, your username, and the topic at hand, I don’t like where this is headed…
Burrito in, burrito out.
Lengua
I agree. And now want to be your friend.
i pointed out the censoring of luigi news in dec, and people actually believed that wasnt happening, and having all that trump rage post slop thats been posting in order to astroturf luigi news.
Well that’s just straight up fucking bonkers.
Any more bonkers than anything else on Reddit since the exodus? Lol
It’s okay, we’ll all be able to go back to Digg soon.
Slashdot too?
alt.binaries
not surprising, on another site/forum where reddit users got banned for upvoting in attempt to mimic human activity on reddit to promote thier of accts later down the line, thats whats been happening. they are using some technical tricks trying to get around these bans, but reddit is quickly closing those gaps, thats why thier bans have been so aggressive lately. they overmoderate, and overbanned recently.
This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.
Mine too! They recommended Lemmy on r/redditsafety.
Fuck Reddit.
Yes, and fuck discord apparently ?
What did discord do?
Selling out to the capitalist war machine. I was recommended to check out Matrix. Feel free to do the same.
Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups
I appreciate it :)
Same — I never used Reddit but I found out about Lemmy from a Content Creator I enjoy. Seemed cool, a few privacy policies later and I’m here. The more I read about Reddit the more I’m glad I never used it.
I was super late to the party. Wasn’t really a heavy user until right around the API changes.
You picked a decent, reliable instance. Good choice.
Don’t forget to block the Hexbear and LemmyGrad instances! Full of nothing but fake communist trolls.
Oh dear. I don’t even know how to do that. I really appreciate the feedback.
Gimme a few minutes to tinker around in the settings.
EDIT: done. Thank you again.
Mine too! Already having fun time!
Welcome to the party! Can I offer you a cat pic in these trying times?
I love it.
Welcome. I joined 4 months ago and I’ve already seen a noticeable increase in users. Join some subs and your feed will start filling out nicely and you’ll stop thinking about Reddit.
I’m seeing a lot more porn, which is neat. Dunno if it’s normal for a new user or the algorythm dangling a carrot. But I’ll take it!
Haha! I jumped ship after the API ruckus. Before the NSFW filter was readily available I blocked a lot of porn communities before I had a feed I could browse at work.
Does that mean spez is getting banned for being a mod on r/jailbait?
Fuuuuuuuuuck spez
The police should check his hard drive
1000%
That’s the pedophile piss baby aka u/spez aka Steve Huffman, right? As in the guy that moderated a pedo sub?
What a greedy little pis baby pig boy.
Ew
he just got hatched from a oligarchy alien nursery and dint come out fully formed.
Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.
God help us if Elon Musk figures out how to run one.
ETA: I mention this because the current government wants to find anyone who does this.
The [unelected president] moaned on his platform that some Reddit users on the subreddit r/WhitePeopleTwitter had broken the law after they allegedly revealed the identities of his so-called DOGE goon squad.
Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here’s everyone that upvoted this thread.
Edit: Downvotes (reduces) are less exposed, but as you said, someone can just run a fedi instance that exposes them to everyone.
I think all reactions should be exposed.
Yeah idk why ppl dont like this, id prefer ppl lurk and not vote if they dont do it with their chest
Well end up with so many alternatives that access the threadiverse differently, some that mask your upvotes/downvotes somehow, some that are open about it and block those that mask them lol, fractured community
It’s also the herd reaction. It may be enough to have a couple of bots downvote or upvote something, and then the crowd goes after them.
Not even talking about, say, someone being pissed and going to other user’s profile to downvote all their recent comments.
It’s just useful to see such things - one-day-old accounts putting reactions, and one and the same user following you to press their internet satisfaction arrow.
In any case anonymous reactions just don’t make any sense, it’s a number, what if most in that number are jerks? (Actually they are, I can’t imagine stooping low enough to care to put a downvote, but not writing why).
I will save him the effort. I happily upvote things that contain the words Luigi and Elon.
Because that word combination just makes sense.
He can see me upvote people wanting to kill him.
Though you cannot see votes coming from a blocked instance. (If your instance ever blocked another instance. Not valid for self hosted.)
You just need to make a new account every couple of months
“reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote calls for a violent revolution against the billionaire class and the fascist neo feudalist militarized police state enforced wage slavery and rent till death economics they have created to benefit their endless growth driven profits while ignoring upvotes of content that praise violence against leftists, women and other marginalized leftist aligning groups and ideologies”
There, FTFY
after what they saw with luigi, and trying to suppress all news about it
They are desperay obvious and its cringe. They were in full blast damage control censorship mode even before december 4th. I was VPN banned last summer just for saying that occupied indigenous people have a right to resist occupation by any means necessary as per international law in regards to palestine and IsNoTreal. So far ive jot been able to evade the ban even with a vpn. Wall street military and prison industry profiteers have become too confident and comfortable.
They ban for literally anything probably because their Reddit moderation is handled by AI. The simple fact that many reports = certain ban regardless of behavior is reason enough not to be in that cesspool
their Reddit moderation is handled by AI
They also have a number of fascist mods who abuse their authority to arbitrarily ban anyone saying something they don’t like.
Oh for sure! I got banned for “inciting violence” when I called desantis “a wanna be fascist in fake cowboy boots” and it got spam reported by conservative snowflakes. There is literally no staying unbanned on Reddit if you have any form of moral compass or social awareness
Yes, this is exactly what it is. A call for violence against liberals? No worries. A statement that violence may be the only option left to fight a government controlled by billionaires? Banned.
Don’t forget to leave bad review of reddit app and encourage others to move to lemmy in the review.
Note that you actually need to review the app itself, not reddit. When I left a negative review about the whole reddit API mess, the review was removed and I was barred from leaving more reviews
wow thanks for that, adjust my bad reviews.
Basically declaring that they don’t allow free speech.
“Hey, you have been liking things we disagree with and we need an echo chamber here, align with us or fuck off. Sincerely, the money hungry bitches of the internet! Also heil daddy musk!”
Of course they don’t. They banned me 3 years ago for saying that if you have the chance, you should always punch a Nazi.
Excuse me? If someone says they want a genocide you have to wait until they take over, only then are you allowed to support violence.
I’m against violence, I think that reasonable and even somewhat unreasonable people should be talked with. But if someone says “fuck you I will kill you” you should have the right to punch them, it is the same as self defence, because next time they will kill you.
I know. The two reactions when I tell people about that are usually either rage or amusement. I’m here now, so fuck Reddit.
What was the actual reason they gave when they blocked your account. Because I had one of my accounts banned, but not for any logical reason, and they just gave me a made-up reason of I was being aggressive (I wasn’t being aggressive I was just pointing out to someone that he was gatekeeping, which he was).
For contacts the guy was trying to suggest that the only people who should be allowed to be employed in the software development industry are people with a relevant university level qualification, which was obviously stupid because it would block pretty much all of the current tech billionaires from their own companies.
going to college to learn technology in the 1990s would have been useless for acquiring the skills that I have developed and honed in my 25+ years in tech
They permabanned two of my accounts during the election last year, just because I said I didn’t care when Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot. She’s a warmonger who’s called for violence against millions of innocent people. Not gonna clutch my pearls when anyone (even Trump) threatens her.
Basically declaring that they don’t allow free speech.
It’s a privately owned platform. You never have an assurance of free speech on any of those, and on Reddit, the rot set in years ago.
There is a big jump from “we are a private company and we have internal rules” to “we are a private company and our internal rules that directly go against human rights”
Based on what I read in the posted article, everyone is making a big leap here. Of course I expect you all to be right in the end based on Reddit being a shitshow, but we don’t know what the content they are referring to is exactly.
For all we know, they are only referring to stuff like human trafficking or child porn. The statement is vague.
I have a strange opinion, but here goes: The Right to Free Speech (Im in the US here), should protect you from censorship. Doing what Reddit is doing should be considered a Rights violation and we should be able to sue them into the ground.
Terrible idea. Any site that bans for hate speech would also be a rights violation. If a platform doesn’t share your values, leave it.
Yes, sadly, freedom of speech includes freedom of hate speech. The platform would have to rely on its users downvoting or ridiculing the offender rather than outright bans.
See Twitter to see what “free speech absolutism” gets you. The hateful stuff will quickly overrun and take over the platform, chasing decent people away.
Twitter isn’t even remotely pro-free-speech; much like Reddit, they claim to be in order to defend the worst people on the platform, while routinely deleting or banning people for speech they disagree with
That’s correct. But it starts by allowing hate speech. Can you give an example of a single platform that allows it that didn’t become a toxic shithole?
Well, you are certainly entitled to that opinion even though it’s wrong, and I do think banning you for it is also wrong.
There’s a big difference between having ideas and taking actions. Ideas cannot be allowed to become illegal. Even disgusting ones.
The correct response to unconscionable ideas is social, not institutional.
hypothetically speaking, if someone blew up their office HQ, that would send a powerful message. of course, if you have the balls to do that, there are some other offices that would probably be much better targets.
To be clear, they’re talking about banning right wing people. Reddit is one of the most liberal platforms you will find.
You can’t even talk economics on Reddit without being downvoted to fuck, or banned.
I am a centrist, and I routinely had posts removed and got banned from communities for saying things from actual textbooks taught currently in universities.
No one is attacking the free speech of the left unless it’s radical and advocating for physical harm.
Incorrect. I got banned yesterday for “Eat the Rich” and Luigi favoritism. I believe the post in question (you never know with a Reddit ban because they dont show you) was responding to someone’s post that mentioned the French Revolution with a Guillotine gif and “Git-r-Done”.
Yea, apparently I was plotting murder or something by doing that.
I mean, advocating for eating people is in itself a crime, so maybe the bot thought you were trying to push for cannibalism? 😂
Reddit will now issue warnings to users who “upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies” within “a certain timeframe,” starting first with violent content, the company announced on Wednesday.
Hmm. What does this pertain to?

https://www.theverge.com/news/606904/reddit-rules-bans-violence-doxing-elon-musk-doge
Reddit has seen an increase in rule-breaking posts across “several communities,” and it has issued a temporary ban on one that featured users calling for violence against people who work for the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
That community, r/WhitePeopleTwitter, was given a 72-hour ban on Tuesday, as reported by Engadget. Screenshots shared on X show multiple examples of the threatening posts. Musk later reposted the screenshots, claiming that the users have “broken the law.”
In a note on the subreddit, Reddit says it was banned “due to a prevalence of violent content” and that “inciting and glorifying violence or doxing” violate Reddit’s rules. An unnamed Reddit admin said the ban was meant to be a “cooling-off period” for the community.
Reddit also gave a full ban to a subreddit called r/IsElonDeadYet for violating rules “against posting violent content.” The unnamed admin said Reddit is taking steps “to ensure all communities can provide a safe environment for healthy conversation” in a post on r/RedditSafety.
Ah.
Geez, I sure hope someone starts a fediverse version of r/IsElonDeadYet right away!
I don’t know how to do proper links, but wanted to let you know that one does already exist.
The format uses ! with the comm plus @ the instance, so [email protected]
Thank you!
One day I might remember…
Oooo
That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.
its basically X and truth social posts without going to X. and mix in with some ragebaiting articles from non-reputable sources. you also have to be careful on subs like pics, news, funny, askreddit,ask for the same reasons. why are people ranting on reddit about X and truth social, when you are reposting it.
Ok but if someone was to Luigi Elon that would be based. Or Elon can follow his leader and end it in a bunker. Don’t overly care which way.
is that sub even unbanned, i havnt seen it for weeks. right after whitepeopletwitter was banned, they started another huge ban wave that continued into FEB. definitely silencing all anti-conservative sentiment, the “progressives” posts that are allowed, get AstroTurf by trolls.
Thank God I’m not on reddit anymore.
Fuck reddit.
Yeah. Except for some niche subs I haven’t miss it at all. And thanks to Privacy Redirect add-on, I haven’t visited Reddit itself for a long time. Since it still has some useful info that floods the search engines.
You can get a copy of reddit data from just before It happened, run your very own searchable database. No need to go there at all.
I only got my saved posts before I deleted my account. Wouldn’t this be a really big database though?
Looks like around 3 TB
Huh, it’s actually quite lower than I expected. Though I don’t have that much spare space laying around.
We should streal r/place and do it yearly
I guess it will just be full of Fuck Spez and Fuck [(un)elected president]
Warms my heart to see all the ‘new account’ badges in this thread.
I made my switch around the inauguration. When I saw all the big tech guys standing together. That’s a big red flag. Even if reddit wasn’t represented.
it was a sign when subreddits were getting ban, critical of trump or musk.
deleted by creator
Lol, how is it even possible to upvote banned content? I mean, is it not deleted if banned?
Banned after you upvote it
See something that’s pro-Luigi? That’s banned content
Pro-lemmy? That’s banned content
Upvoted a post about hypothetically killing a Republican? That’s banned content
Etc
This type of behavior is never tolerate on Reddit. You disagree with a Redditor, straight to ban. No trial, no nothing. There’s no journalists. We’ll have a special subreddit for journallists. Under represent a Republican, believe it or not ban. Over represent a Democrat, also ban. Reddit has the best users on the internet.
They probably did this specifically because people were upvoting our favorite plumber.
It means accounts that consistently upvote posts that end up being banned.
The naive take is that this will remove bot/brigade swarms that are collaboratively boosting content that breaks site wide rules. You can derive ulterior motives from this if you want but I’m pretty sure that’s the basic premise.
I have no doubt this will be leveraged by the far-right to sow more discord. They already have a history of raiding subreddits with false flag attacks to get them sanctioned until it escalates into full blown subreddit ban. This is all but formalizing the mechanism.
I think the real implication of the system is that Reddit will also start banning you for down-voting posts too.
Reminds me of back in 2013 when Reddit admins accidentally revealed that Eglin Air Force Base, a location often cited as the source of government social-media propaganda/astroturfing programs, was the most Reddit addicted city in the world.
To be fair, every Air Force base had higher than average Reddit usage back in the day. It was one of the few websites not blocked by default. I don’t know when that changed, Because I was out before then.
But yes, there are also the propaganda teams.
I would expect Moscow or St Petersburg.
Because you’ve been propagandized to hell. A lot of people have. Which is why everyone lost their shit about “Russian interference” over a couple of shitty memes from Russian sources during an election, but didn’t seem to give a shit about electioneering from domestic propaganda sources.
You’re getting far more propaganda from your own country than any other foreign entity, I promise you.
I I know people in russia (friends of friends) who were paid per comment on american and russian social in support of putin and Trump before his first election. Mostly students, there were farms of them. This thing is real, and back then we talked how most of the discussion online is not real
And the astroturf farm at Eglin AFB is the highest source of traffic on Reddit. I’m sure the US military’s astroturf output is absolutely eclipsing anything poorly paid students are outputting.
reddit reported it was half of the comments on reddit, besides ru being the other competitor. In regards to israel, im betting they are also involved, especially if you go into worldnews.
If they are doing he same thing you might as well consider it coming from the same source
its funny how people dismiss that part, when i pointed out how most of the news and politics sub had half the commentors as bots from these countries.
I’m not American, just FYI.
Not my dumpster fire.
Western propaganda and US propaganda aren’t all that different, and usually come from the same sources.
