Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.

Same thing happened to me. I told a guy to fuck off and got banned for not being nice. I appealed, but before that process completed, they permanbanned my 14 year account. I like that on Lemmy I can say normally uncontroversial things like "Nazi scum fuck off".
Indeed, Nazi scum can fuck off.

i've had various accounts over the years and never gotten hit for "ban evasion". that being said that suspension was my last straw and i deleted my account.
Yeah, what's even funnier is after noticing and appealing the temp ban I logged off and the only time I went back was to check my mail for a response which is when I noticed the perma-ban, so between those two time periods I was literally not even on reddit, so I have no idea what the fuck they were on about.

Remember that Reddit automatically gathers your data.
If you still have a reddit account, go to settings right now. And prevent reddit from selling your data.
its pretty given, seeing as how they are using googles recaptcha technology, and OPEN AI to allow access to data/content, plus its useful for troll farms from russia in general, since its allows targeted propaganda messaging.
-
The value of Reddit is the content which it is able to create. If users aren’t free to create content, there is not value.
remember the first purges in 16-17' when trump was in power, GOP started complaining about online spaces hosting these "violent, illegal" activities, and subs got banned asap. now again, musk is complaining about the same thing.

It certainly was what people drove there. That doesn't make money. The only value that counts for the bottom line is the data ultimately for marketing purposes. And the reach and trust that makes it great to sell shit.
It'll also be a great propaganda vehicle. Which might be worth even more in the current climate.
Anyways Reddit is dead. It ran far longer than many thought. But I think the cadaver won't stay fresh long enough to be eaten.
I think many of the tech giants are becoming scared. Because it might be a bit of hassle to just use another platform ultimately it's fucking easy to migrate and the when the momentum is there it can go pretty fast. No one really needs Amazon or Facebook or Reddit. And people really are pissed off. Fuck them. All these valuations for tech are just ludicrous when in the end the main driver is selling people shit more effectively.
forums are still alive and kicking, to certain niches though, not an "news/politics aggregate site like reddit. FB has enshittified itself when they went soely distributing russian propaganda intentionally, also require much more aggressive Data mining to sign up for the service, similar tow hat Glassdoor has become for job hunters.

Good. I got banned just today for "inciting violence" then when I asked what I did they couldn't tell me. Musk has his grubby little hands all over reddit since him and spez are buddies if I'm not incorrect.
Oh yea the generic "site wide ban message doesnt even tell you what the violation was" i think it gives reddit arbitrary and vague reasoning to ban you.
-
Holy shit, me too.
They said I threatened violence because in a thread about Putin potentially being sick, I said I wished he had a painful slow death.
Apparently even bloodthirsty dictators get to have their poor feelings protected by Reddit.
Fuck Reddit! I'm just gonna abandon that shit platform
you got brigaded by pro-russian bots, and yes russian backed trolls do mass report people too.

I had two main accounts. My oldest account got permabanned for a joke about Nick Fuentes. After his address got doxxed and he pepper sprayed a woman who rang his doorbell back in December of last year, I said "hey as an incel he should be happy that the ladies know where he lives now so they can share a cocktail with him", and I added a cartoon gif of a Molotov. It was obviously a joke, but they said it was "promoting/glorifying violence". I ate the bullet on that one because they were technically right, even if they were a bunch of humorless twats.
My other account got banned about a month ago when I up voted a comment that was just a picture of Luigi Luigi (the Nintendo character) smoking a cigarette. Again for "promoting/glorifying violence".
Elon Musk is a weak little crybaby and Steve Huffman is a pathetic coward.
sounds like you were part of the ban waves going on. there was one around the election, another around DEC mid, we noticed because reddit was extremely quiet of all propaganda for like a day or 2.

basically the thought police.
-
Idek wtf i said lmaoo. Atleast you got told you were deplatformed for daring to disagree with the regime. I just got shown the door. This place seems much nicer though.
a ludicrous ban, is when i got "temp banned for report abuse" turns out if you report too many people who have spreading misinformaiton or lies, you get automatically flagged.
-
I was Permanently banned for harassment because I asked a mod why they banned me.
Mind you, I’d ask, and they’d mute me for a week straight instead of just pointing out what got me banned.
lol I pray for their downfall; this news pleases me.
Some mods are in cahoots with the admins, so they can just exaggerate the seriousness of a report and get people banned.

Harsher moderation followed by a bot farm the richest man payed for to report every account that is critical of Nazis.
I'm not even kidding. At this point the amount of comments on Lemmy that I've read that had 10+ year old Reddit accounts banned for "inciting violence" is crazy. I was one of them a few months ago. Told a dude denying a Nazi salute was a Nazi salute to "go to hell where Nazis belong". Was banned within an hour. Permanent and IP/Metadata banned. Instant response of "no" to my unban request.
This is not a unique experience either. Leave reddit like it's the plague.
2nd richest, many people believe mr PUTIN IS, AND he does have the largest troll farm in existence(which is the reason why many countries in the mess they are right now.

I really hope the company burns. It became everything it used to make fun of since Spez took over.
-
have they resurrected that subreddit from 2016 era, name of which i will not repeat, but it was well fuck. i'm still not going to say it. it's not an "information hazard", it's a garbage sphere that accretes garbage
there were ton of reddit that were purged in 17ish when trump came into power, and at the same the gop was complaining about said subreddits.

The excuse to ban someone over reporting will never not be hilarious to me. Like dawg, sorry were making you do your fucking job and improve your site.
-
wanna hear some just as ridiculous, apparenlty skin color, and DEMOgraphic was considered a racist word, ever since trump came into power, all the subs became too sensitive around african american words.
-
Any criticism of conservatism is grounds for removal now. I can't believe it's gotten this far.
Is there any Sonic community on Lemmy? Did you make one? I'm a casual fan, but I'd join.
i love it that TROLLS and conservatives ever though right wingers were ever censored. no, almost any one the "left" was censored in most medias.
-
I haven’t used Reddit since the api change but I suspect stating that Luigi mangione is a hero who did nothing wrong would get me banned on Reddit. Social murder is completely cool and ok. But actually killing the man who oversees the system of social murder? How dare you!?
it got worst after that api apocalypse, which culiminated into musk/luigi , it became increasingly harder to
-
literally one of the 2 reasons I haven't quit reddit completely (the other being I'm slowly deleting all my comments)
you can use powersuite delete i believe, and there are extensions, but much slower than the github one.
-
I just don't understand why a person would choose to invest in Reddit. What exactly is the value proposition here?
so huffman and the c-suite can dump thier stock, they did it a while ago.
