Reddit improved their anti-ban evasion system, cuz it’s the sixth or more failed attempt at evading a permanent ban. Never more, I am staying here.

FUCK YOU, SPEZ!

    I finally overwrote all my comments and deleted my account. 16 years there, but as soon as I checked the front page this week before deleting, every comment and post was the same old “this” and “take my upvote” and vitriolic hate toward different or uncommon opinions, zero dialogue, such a mess

    Thanks lemmings

      You forgot “and my axe”, “to shreds you say” and “I wish they didn’t remove awards so I could give you one”, or maybe even the ‘rare’ “take my angry upvote and leave”?

      Yeah I like that we can actually hold real conversations here, as far as ‘real’ goes of course.

        “I wish they didn’t remove awards so I could give you one”

        That’s a new one to me! Because they still had awards the last time I used it.

        Yup. It feels like I am usually talking to individuals here, which is much more enjoyable than flailing in an overwhelming monoculture.

          Y’indeed I love seeing notifications here and reload every few minutes to see if someone replied to me (not now obviously because I’m high and forgot to reply to you earlier and it’s also taking me a good few minutes to type up this reply).

          On Reddit I usually hoped that everyone upvoted, of course, and that none of them reply. Especially when I argumented with someone, because I’m actually really bad at argumenting about things I perceive as negative. […]

          The rest is just a stoned tirade (I didn’t want to delete it because I find it amusing), there’s no Tl;Dr to be made, just don’t read it unless you choose to make me a god and want to use the genoxidedev1 lore to practice that new religion. Anyways:

          […] I’m also bad at argumenting about things I’m good at, which only leaves me being good at argumenting about things I’m bad at, but I’f im good at argumenting about things I’m bad at it would mean that I’m good at argumenting about me argumenting about things I’m good at, so, if we use that logic for all the other things I could be doing I’m actually the best at everything. Wow. I just lost an argument against myself, cool or something.

    Start your niche community on lemmy then advertise it in some other groups. You might be surprised how much better it is here.

    Maybe they wouldn’t have problem with ban evasion if they weren’t giving out bans the drop of a hat

      That’s not exclusive to Reddit.

      Looks at 196 here on Lemmy and their massive pissy baby ban list.

          They are something else. Think like TheDonald was on Reddit, but for trans people and memes.

          My first exposure to them was a thread by a mod saying that you MUST post absolute and unconditional not just approval, but promotion of what they say politically or you will be banned. It was fucking wild and nearly put me off Lemmy altogether.

              I spent about an hour and kept getting reply notifications, just like the one I got now for this (now over a month old) post. I reply. I like to interact. It’s not arguing, it was legitimate discussion, and yes, I was discussing how people like to strawman others. To my mind, it was civil.

              The message I got from the mod was - nearly word for word - “get the fuck out of here with that my children matter bullshit.”

              I did not misrepresent the situation.

              As an addendum, the thread were I was banned was not my first exposure to them. You may be conflating two interactions.

    I’m in the process of deleting my posts in a few accounts in preparation to delete them.

    Reddit isn’t the same place it was when I first signed up. On so many levels it proceeded to get worse year after year. Shitty mods, paid political bot brigading to drown out discussion, general discourse devolution, innovation decline of generally loved features are some of my biggest complaints of that platform.

    Don’t get me wrong reddit was always a bit of anarchy, but the best comments somehow managed to rise up. Not so much anymore. Maybe I’m just getting old and some of the comment contents don’t interest me in the same way it used to.

    I don’t mind being part of this community even though some of the sub’s have less activity. The activity seems to be of a better quality for the most part imho.

    For me I don’t miss reddit at all.

    Got banned for harassing mods because I was asking why I got banned automatically for participating in a different subreddit. As soon as I sent my second request asking why I was banned, I got permabanned.

      Absolutely killing me right now to watch what’s going on in /r/worldnews. Absolute echo chamber of reposted IDF propaganda, genocidal rhetoric against Palestinians, all calls for peace, any contextualization or describing the history of the conflict get permabanned and muted, appeals to admins are denied as usual. Meanwhile, international observers describing the situation as an ongoing genocide. What do you call that then? Incitement to genocide.

      Me too, they are far too quick to bring out the perma ban. My 10 year old account went from a minor subreddit ban (for asking why a mod banned someone else) to global perma ban within 12 hours. In fairness I reported the mod and said he’s a neckbeard but that shit isn’t worth of global perma lol.

      Overall, I think this is good news for lemmys future tbh

    Ridiculous, and there’s no appealing it either. Now if I want to check out my niche communities I need to load Reddit in a private tab with a VPN to scroll around my “inactive” account, but I never comment.
