Joan Westerberg has been doing great work on the Fediverse. I pasted this link in the one sub I miss r/idiocracy:

https://www.joanwestenberg.com/big-tech-wants-you-trapped-the-open-web-sets-you-free-2/

My post was really good — I used Idiocracy speech to get my scros to join me in LEMMY and not only was the post rejected but I earned a temporary ban at Reddit.

At this point there isn’t even a point in going back to leave a breadcrumb trail to be followed.

    I found the perfect way to not get banned from Reddit: simply don’t go there.

    I think they’re going the Twitter-> X route. Make it so unusable for the people who would give any pushback, that all that’s left are the people who are going to cause real harm and the others that are too addicted and/or stupid to leave.

    Just delete your account and uninstall reddit. Best decision I made. I left 7 years and around 300,000 karma. Now I just use reddit via Google searching for instructions or IT tips.

      Agreed - Even before this, the only thing I really used reddit for was to search. It’s unfortunate that Reddit is really the only search option with a decent chance of surfacing the information I want to know - most search results if you don’t add “Reddit” at the end are AI slop, ads, or AI generated listicles.

    Yup, been on Reddit for 14 years and have never been banned. I had 2 bans just last week. I’m done with reddit. That site is a huge piece of shit now.

      I swear I went from like 2008-2015 without a single encounter with a mod. Then it became a lot of posts being deleted for breaking arbitrary rules. Then it became constant harassment by these power tripping dorks and bans that were often unjust. Then the third party apps were ripped away so they could put ads in every 5 posts and then inside the comments. I bitched about all of this nonsense but stayed… Now it’s AI moderating, shadow removal of posts, being unable to say the name Luigi in any context, and warnings/bans for simply upvoting posts that go against the official corporate narrative. I won’t stay for that nonsense.

    Lol.

    I always just immediately created a new account as soon as I was banned, even if it was just temporary. Reddit accounts are meaningless now.

    Then I got tired of doing that and came to Lemmy. Problem solved.

    I also got an extremely soft ban on one account after just talking about Lemmy and piefed.

      Mmm… pie…

      Indeed! Makes me want to create some simple flyers. How will world spread with the Fediverse getting censored?
