Ironically, I swing by old.shittyplace.com to check out /r/conservative and/or /r/askaconservative every so often to see if any of them are starting to figure it out yet (spoiler alert: they aren’t, or they are celebrating it), and they always have a first page thread about how Reddit is just a liberal recruiting mouthpiece these days etc etc.
Today is no exception.
And for a bonus they have a thread about how Ask Reddit is just out of control with bait for conservatives - I took a peek and there are two current threads that have anything at all to do with conservatives.
The conservative persecution complex is strong, never fear.
Remember, conservative voices must be getting silenced because they never shut the fuck up telling us so.
Demonizing outside influences is common to all cults. It innoculates the cult members to those outside influences, leading them to immediately disregard information that contradicts their cultist beliefs, keeping them trapped within the cult’s echo chamber more effectively. To keep the cultists innoculated, they have to constantly remind them that they and their beliefs are being persecuted and that the only source of truth, is the cult leaders.
That said, how “real” is r/conservative? I just checked it and every single thread is flaired users only. It’s a far more controlled echo chamber than the Donald was in it’s heyday, and when the Sint-Petersburg troll farm was brought offline during the usa elections of 2018, the Donald was gone from reddit’s front page for the duration.
To me it seems like r/conservative is a method of distributing the current narrative to cultists, but it doesn’t require actual input or discussion from those cultists. It seems to actually discourage posting by normal conservative users, since any kind of wrongthink will lead to a ban, and it’s hard to keep up with the changing narratives for normal users, so catching a ban is easy.
Trump is openly preparing to invade both Canada and Mexico and these motherfuckers are bitching about Musk being called what he is!
The party of “fuck your feelings” everyone!
I just got a violent content warning for upvoting someone calling musk a “stupid person’s version of a smart man” on a post about his trucks being vandalized.
So desperate to even be Zuckerberg relevant pathetic
I’m trying to understand this comment. What exactly do you mean?
Reddit is a massive social media, and Spez seems desperate to be at the same table as the likes of Zuckerberg. I think this sort of behaviour highlights it.
I got perma banned from my OG account for engaging with ruzzian trolls. Apparently telling them they’d look good fertilizing sunflowers, and digging babushka a fresh latrine pit is “promoting violence”. No warnings, just straight to ban. Reddit allows obvious ruzzian gas lighters, but bans those who call them out. That is Reddit today, a hotbed of ruzzian and nazi propaganda.
There has been a recent flood of pro-russia pro-trump moderators in almost all the reddit subs i frequent. I also just got a permanant ban for evasion to post this. “It wasn’t enought to just amplify the idiots voices, they have to smother the voices of reason and doubt” Apparently that was uncivil way to speak about the mods.
I got perma banned for being too mean to MAGAs
you probably offended u/Spez on his alt account .
Me as well and then I got banned later for evading the band
So when does Reddit run out of users?
Everyone of us that gets banned gets replaced by 3 ruzzian bots. So never. But when does the public realize that reddit is an echo chamber of polarizing bots? dunno.
Better question. When does reddit run out of real users.
alot of politics and news subs have been co-opted by right leaning people.
You hurt their feelings!
Yea, it’s not difficult to do that. They’re more sensitive than a clit.
Same here, I simply made a comment about “the Muscovites receiving a dose of their own medicine” and fucking Russian shill, Putin Bot and/or MAGAt reported me. To top it off, I did not use a single swear word in the comment. Fuck Russia and Reddit.
It’s hilarious how magats don’t like free speech when it’s directed against them. Bunch of loathesome pussies.
i always commented on many of those subs, how alot of them are just russian bots/trolls, and people respond to these posts like its an actual person doing it, no its all russia. Half of the comments are more than likely russian bots, if reddit actually DOES ITS JOBS, reddit would be a very quiet place. i get that theres alot from US propaganda farms, but it pales in comparison to russia.
i got temp ban, for reporting trolls, lol. apparently reporting more than once in arbitrary amount of time, is considered report abuse. its the same type of comments you hear from .ml false, pushing a botty narrative.
That’s what I got banned for, though mine was permanent.
you can say russian. you dont need the weird edits here.
The ‘z’ for me emphasizes the fact that not all russians are war hungery, ignorant ruzzians. Just like all Americans are not Magatz
It’s derogatory. It’s a play on the stupid “Z” they had on all their vehicles when they invaded Ukraine. “Cuntistan” would probably have got me banned. Anyway, I’ll misspell the names of any country I loathe, as much as I like :)
Fair enough.
the punisher sticker you mean, lol.
Always with the lame death threats from a basement. It’s the one rule of reddit.
There was no death threat from me, and what else do you suggest when dealing with a gas lighter or out and out liar? Just lie back and take it?
I feel like everyone here either doesn’t like Reddit or has been permanently banned. Like me lmfao
probably the latter, i was permabanned on 5+accs at once, when i was temp banned on an old one. found out reditt was deliberately doing a massive sweep to eliminate as much accounts as possible early FEB.
too risky to even make a new account or even comment on most sub with my only one that is partially flagged. i tested by commented a bunch on a niche sub that isnt monitored heavily by filters or mods.
From my research last night, mid-late FEB was when all the pro trump mods got intoduced to popular subs.
That’s an interesting point. I wonder how many Lemmy users have had nothing to do with Reddit. I can’t imagine that many
I still have a Reddit account but I’ve not logged in since the API business. I really don’t miss it.
There are a few. One thing to point out is that Mastadon users can (albeit in a clunky fashion) view and interact with Lemmy communities. I could see someone who is only into microblogging services interacting on a community here when they would have never signed up for reddit.
Just left reddit…getting used to lemm.ee now
i saw .ML and .WORld, WEVE been told to avoid .ml, and world i cant even get registered anyways, and since you can just use account on this one and look world post.
If I’m not feeling Lemm.ee what should I use?
I’ve been eyeing db0
Reddit sure loves to protect U.S. fascists.
all the big media corporations do. so weird. probably a coincidence.
Just the US ones?
👀
I just deleted my reddit account. 🤟😎
Same. Too much censorship, too many bots
let me tell you how you get removed from lemmy.world
I deleted my reddit account yesterday. I used Revedit and I realised that most of the comments I had made on there had been removed or hidden without me ever realising…
I was blown away by how many completely normal comments (just part of discussions, not even political) have been removed. Pretty sure reddit automod is broken and I’m not sure if reddit devs are even aware of it
I’m not sure if reddit devs are even aware of it
They likely are, but management is also likely rejecting any attempts to fix it.
I deleted my account yesterday too, I came to Lemmy on the API Exodus and very occasionally checked Reddit but never came around to delete my account until now. Same with my Twitter account.
I came here at the suggestion of others on reddit. I’m still trying to figure out how to find the groups/info that I’m interested in. Looking forward to conversations where comments are unnecessarily removed.
depends on which ones, niche subs on reddit arnt found on lemmy sadly, and some are barely posting. i think by now you can guess which communities tha tpeople have come from, are the ones that were banned in large numbers.
mainly politics, news, reddit, tech,etc. i would avoid any conservative subs, or any subs that very biased to one extreme.
We are still pretty small (but growing!) so keep in mind more niche or focused communities may be less active. A common example is posting in a game community (like !games@sh.itjust.works) instead of looking for a specific community. However, if you’re dedicated and could post a few times a week you can make your own community and people will come.
The best resource for looking for communities is still Lemmyverse as it tracks all communities (your instance search will only retrieve results from its users subscriptions.
Fuck reddit.
Hell yeah brother.
Hey, how about we leave the needless gendering of everything on reddit maybe? Gentle reminder that not everything needs to be gendered and (especially on Lemmy) there are lots of folks who might be put off in some way by this, because it feels very much (at least to me) like something (particularly white cishet) dudes say to each other and not something that applies to folks of all genders and communities, like “friend” for example. Not trying to imply that you are any of those things (even someone who is okay being called dude, I’m not calling you that, intending to be giving a vibe on the statement without judging you) just that that’s what I think of when I see that and I wouldn’t necessarily mind if someone said it to me (especially in person; I’m currently masc presenting at the least, not sure yet where I actually land) but thinking of others who might feels like something that happens on Lemmy that differentiates the community at large from reddit. Not saying it’s always like that, check my recent comments if you want to see examples of how some folks are def still trolling here, but it’s better and I hope we can continue to wear that diversity and respect as a badge of honor sort of.
Sorry dude, these are commonly used expressions for like the last 60 years man. Why don’t you just enjoy the wide range of words used to communicate between humans friend? The history of our language. Hell ya brother should be read in the voice of Macho Man Randy savage. It adds some flair to the words when the reader understands the context.
We should try to celebrate diversity instead of enforce conformity. Especially when it comes to communicating and language.
Because they are Nazi sympathizers.
I recently deleted my +10y (cant remember anymore how old it was) old account. I had not logged in with it since the first exodus.
In my time, I started from the old reddit, saw the changes to more modern UI twice. I “collaborated” with the pixel art canvas event. (twice?) (last was fullout among us dithering) And finally saw the full revolt against spez that ended my journey there. (plus the complete enshittification of the reddit app)
