Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

MODERATORS
 

So, I've now had a 9 year account and a 13 year account both permabanned.

They've linked them as the same user and banned me for a benign post on r/pics.

I lost all faith in reddit when they changed the api then Relay for reddit stopped working.

Base model app is shit.

Comments constantly erase and empty endpoint error.

Can't even say 'I like that player two energy on super Mario bros', because that's 'violent'.

I've posted tens of thousands of comments and only recently had issues.

Got banned for saying 'Elon simps in our midst' referring to mods....who proved my point.

And finally now, they are paywalling shit soon.

Adios.

Anyway, I left digg in the great exodus for reddit, now this looks like my new home.

Rant over lol.

New here as well but I also gave you your 666th upvote. So there’s something.

Welcome, there hasn't been a better time than now in a while.

Elom Musk has been pressuring Reddit's CEO to force mods to accept links to hia fascist platform.

So I can only see Reddit become worse as the years go on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Yep it's already nosedived so much it's way past the point of no return.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Just deleted my account as well.

They're paywalling Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think they're paywalling some nsfw subreddits.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Great idea, so many sites flourish when they limit access to NSFW stuff

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If they ban your account do they delete your posts ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They don't.

How do I know? I got banned for arguing with a pedo apologist and telling him to go fuck himself. He replied to a comment and then blocked me so that it would seem like I was droppping off of the convo. I edited my last reply to call him out, and bam. Reddit perma-bans me for 'continuing to harass a user who had already blocked you'.

The only way to get rid of your posts and comments so that reddit doesn't benefit from them is to delete your account.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

With the ban in place can you choose to delete your account ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Yup. The ban just prohibits you from engaging with communities. Like, you can't post, comment, or upvote. You still have access to your account and feed. So, you can choose to delete it. And I think you should be able to delete individual posts/comments too, though I didn't try that myself since I decided to just nuke my account.

Been here since the initial API exodus. It's been pretty good so far. I hope you like it as much as I do. Welcome!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Reddit needed you more than you needed Reddit. The moment you are slightly less efficient advertising money, they told you to hit the road. When people tell you who they really are, you should listen.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

That's a good point. Reddit needs humans, they're forgetting that part. Maybe the shareholders are too stupid to figure that out yet?

I closed my account 2 weeks ago after being there for 13+ years. Thousands and thousands of comments and posts. Oh well, I don't even miss it a little bit. It truly became garbage when they locked out free API access. This banning for liking Luigi or shit talking Elon is so against what reddit was about, they've lost their way and I refuse to participate.

Welcome to the fediverse.

Glad I left Reddit I got banned for asking someone if they were threatening someone else.

I keep getting banned for the most ridiculously benign comments. They aren't serious adults there.

I got out recently too, albeit before actually getting ban-hammered. Given how new I am, it's not really my place, but..: Welcome!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Probably would've banned eventually

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Yup, and I know it. The alternative was an unpalatable amount of self-censorship I had no interest in, and even that wouldn't be a guarantee due to opaque moderation practices.

I don't have a problem with reasonable limits on behavior, but I can't play by the rules if nobody wants to tell me what they are and / or said rules can capriciously change from one moment to the next with no advance warning or notice.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Free Luigi.

Fuck reddit.

Fuck spez.
