MODERATORS
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.
Well that's just straight up fucking bonkers.
Any more bonkers than anything else on Reddit since the exodus? Lol

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 hope lemmy servers are ready for another population boom.
Anyone that's stuck with reddit this long probably thinks this sort of thing is a good idea.

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?

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.
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.
Same shit happens here and you know if. Anyone with any user count is heavily moderating violence.
Reddit being the go to place for federal workers to explain what is happening on the fednews sub given reddit shadow banning new accounts and anti VPN stance is rather ironic with federal workers hiding their names and using stuff like signal out of fear of what the administration might do to them.
Even proxies are not safe, only the more sophisticated ones usually evade reddits detection for a while.
