I should have used a code to change all my posts/comments to an advertisement for Lemmy. What are the going to do, ban me??
you can use powersuite delete, or shreddit. i rather just delete, so it wont get reported down the line.
-
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.

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.

Lol yea calling Drump and dictators dumb is definitely abelist/s LMAO
yes, we get it, you're extremely edgy

I went through a phase where I would find good posts on reddit and then just copy the link and post here.. but as of now, reddit is like 95% anti-Trump posts so it's all noise. Lemmy is fairly noisy with that lately too but not as bad. I need to figure out a better way to filter out politics because it's ruining online discussion even in non-political threads, somehow it devolves into "orange man bad" somehow at some point and it's just tiresome going over the same topic over and over with the same talking points. Musk nazi, orange man bad.. when you see it 50000000000 times it just gets old after a while, with RES I am able to filter out subs which helps immensely but I don't think that's possible here. But like r/pics, r/interestingasfuck, r/lotr, r/lego, r/technology, r/news, many many others.. 90% political now, so the majority of the site is useless to me now. And it feels like it's majority bots now, probably LLM-generated discussion through an API, dead internet theory is in full speed ahead mode.
its also hard to chime in agreement with those post without someone misconstrueing your statement about anti-trump and getting reported too. i had to filter out some posts/or ignore because the amount of TRUMP news, pro or anti. in R/ALL i filter alot of subs that way.

For this reason if I go on Reddit for a niche item that's not here yet, I only lurk, no voting, commenting, nada.
Thankfully, I'm having to do that less and less.
i dont even bother commenting on niche, unless i know the sub isnt well moderated or the filters dont care about your comment. many subs currently are on very high, so even if you get a comment removed your account will be flagged but not banned, apparently they keep track of each comment that gets removed and may consider the account spamming.

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.

Makes me wonder if a social site could advertise a "bot-free" environment somehow. Some sort of verification system, one e-mail, one verification picture (handwritten note picture maybe, not face or anything.) And only 1 account per human, no bots... I feel like that's going to have to happen eventually at the rate AI is going. Facebook is probably half-AI bots at this point already.
-
I got permabanned from politics on shitjustworks for calling out the mod for being a hypocrite, so 14 days ain't so bad in comparison. Gonna go see what rule 1 over there is tho.
LPT: Maybe don't start comments with "Go fuck yourself", people might take you more seriously or be more receptive.

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.
-
Nice. What about if you back out to the main feed and then decide to go back to the comments later? This is where all other clients fail in my experience
Ah, no it does not do that

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.

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?

Holy shit, what was a month ago??? Feels like last week.
Didn't they start back up on another domain?

Well there's [email protected] and [email protected] [email protected]
For anarchism specifically, I'm not sure, I think [email protected] maybe
For religion, not sure, religious comms are quite small here ATM, maybe [email protected] could be a good fit
Thanks, that ought to get me started.

got permaban on 5+accts because reddit did what similar pornhub did, sanatize the site and only corporate content was left. it was getting increasingly hard to comment as anything other than right wing comments.
That's what I think happened to me, seems weird that so many of us are getting banned at the same time. It's different for me though, I get banned or downvoted to oblivion if I express any right wing ideas. It's 98% leftist there now it seems. Wouldn't surprise me if they ban r/conservative entirely this year.

Look at the preceding conversation, instead of cherry picking a comment maybe
️ dude was already handing out temp bans in the thread for anyone that disagreed with him stating they're trolls, then he's the one trolling. Got called out, couldn't handle it. -
The thing is for a good solid decade using one of those corporate websites actually it wasn't so bad, I was right user since 2012 and it used to be good. It's slowly degraded over the years since then and at this point I think I'm fine never going back, except if I am reading some several years old post that has information but even then the internet archive can do that for you and it might be the only place to get that information from Reddit
Yeah that's true, I was also a user since 2012 and it was much better back then. It slowly got worse through the 2010s and then really fell off a cliff after 2020
