Can't kill a reanimated corpse, reddit is already dead.

[–] july@leminal.space 1 points 21 hours ago

Can't scroll mainfeed there without some soft core porn from sippintea pop up

[–] Surp@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol fuck reddit cuck mods anyways.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Working for free for a major company should be considered a mental illness. If your going to volunteer your time do it to an actual good cause.

Not fucking reddit.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 21 hours ago

Cmon. I deeply respect /r Eevee mods. What do they do, other than serve Eevee fans and have fun?

[–] coffee_nutcase207@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

So glad to see some mods gone. They are power hungry petty people.

[–] sqgl@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

average of over 60,000 daily active moderators” that month, which, at the time, would mean that 0.1 percent of all mods equals 600 people.

No, it equals 60 people.

[–] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

lol of course power mods would say that.

Fuck that dumbass site.

Every few months I check back and see if there's any news on awkardtheturtle rearing his ugly head, and every few months im satisfied they were totally obliterated

[–] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I got banned for updooting Luigi stuff.

And I'll fucking do it again!

[–] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I only got a warning, they said if I did it again I could face a site-wide ban though. Pretty disturbing that they're tracking upvotes to a post.. they said I also upvoted a Luigi comment.. but in both cases, they wouldn't tell me specifically which post or comment triggered it.

I got my 15 year old account permanently banned for filing one report against a user who was stalking my profile to call me slurs. (This was “abusing the report button”, apparently.) Everyone in my household got their accounts banned alongside mine. It’s very strange how the site is being run now.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Yes because they IP ban people

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah. When my 12 year old account got banned I stopped caring about that site and started creating new accounts every week and just posting whatever the hell I wanted without feeling like I needed to censor myself anymore. So their ban happy culture tends to have the opposite effect of what they want.

There's a browser script out there that auto-adds all your subs back from your old account, so it really wasn't even inconvenient for me other than the 2 minutes it takes to create a throwaway email account and create a new throwaway Reddit account.

And yeah, their methods for preventing you from coming back end up preventing others using the same computer or in the same household from coming back, so they just lose users. Their methods aren't very sophisticated though, so it's pretty easy to avoid them.

Shit site.

Bros are living in a fantasy, site was broken wide open years ago.

'member when redditors would ALL leave because of the API restrictions? This will have no real effect whatsoever. I'm glad that most redditors didn't move to lemmy.

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 17 hours ago

Some did leave, just not nearly as many compared to the numbers that claimed they would.

Thats when I left and made a Lemmy account instead.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's when I left. Haven't turned back

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Strong words from a former reddit refugee, my man, we were the redditors that moved to Lemmy

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Nobody hates Reddit more than redditors.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago

Yep, I'm a redfugee myself

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I mean, I sure did

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I mean, I did. This is my 3rd account, after beehaw and then blahaj.

I kibd of agree.with this one, on the other hand reddit is not my circus and those mods are not my monkeys.

Hell, I never understood why anyone worked for free to make the owners richer ? Here I get (and thank you), like an old school BBS but reddit makes zero sense as a mod.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Fake importance.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 62 points 1 day ago (10 children)

I got a lifetime ban after 12 years on Reddit. I still have no clue why, and I really, really don't care.

Fuck Reddit. It needs to die, along with discord.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 37 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Reddit has been dead since February, when Spez met with The Goblin, and then permabanned thousands, maybe millions of highly active accounts, including me. I was permabanned for repeating a post I had made many times with no issues. After 12 years, and almost a million Karma, I was suddenly too dangerous to allow on the platform, along with thousands of others.

We high volume posters built Reddit, but we shifted from being assets to problems after Trump was elected again.

[–] HuskerNation@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"subreddits will stop displaying subscriber counts and instead show their “unique number of unique visitors over the last seven days, based on a rolling 28-day average,” Reddit’s rep said. Notably, old.reddit.com will not get these new stats but will still lose subscriber counts"

They are hiding,for stock purposes, their declining numbers from everyone they have banned. 12 year user I never said anything outlandish just dark humor that I always have. Stuff that would have been easily ok 10 years ago. Nope no more

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 26 minutes ago

Unique visitor numbers are much, much more important than total subscriber numbers though. Total subscriber numbers include accounts that have been inactive for years.

Got banned from the stims community after satirically commenting 'I'm 14 and what is this?'

The moderator demanded that I submit identity documents. I pointed out that the account was twelve years old but they couldn't back down at this point. I think they were trying to do a good job and were at least active but it was another nail in the coffin. In theory, an unpaid mod could be more objective because there's no profit motive but the reality is that many are ideologically biased or dumb or controlling and none of them are trained. That any single individual wants to be in charge of the narrative is suspicious. Scale that ambition up to hundreds of thousands or millions of people it's a red flag. Reddit is completely cooked these days, I haven't returned since finding Lemmy.

Breaking news: Reddit is on fire again. In other news, rain contains water and Twitter is full of Nazis. More at ten.

At the risk of agreeing with Reddit:

Under new rules rolling out over the coming months, a small number of users will be required to leave some of their moderator posts so that they aren’t moderating more than five subreddits with 100,000 monthly visitors.

That sounds perfectly reasonable. Reddit has a massive powermod problem.

I joined after getting some weird warning about upvoting comments reddit didn't like. That left a sour taste in my mouth.
