‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit::A mass user protest six months ago over technical tweaks had big downstream effects, and now the ‘front page of the internet’ is changed for ever
I was banned for “violence” as well. Specifically referring to child molesters. I saw people saying the same type of shit about other types of people (capitalists, bad drivers, etc.) and nothing happened to those posts but make 1 comment suggesting an actual child molester deserves to suffer and you’re not welcome there. Makes you wonder why the admins are so concerned about protecting them… Anyway fuck that website.
I made a comment about punching a Nazi… got banned. Meanwhile, some of the most virulent Antisemitic shit I’ve ever seen was getting posted and some of it hit the front page.
That platform is going to follow twitter into the shitter in short order.
amusingly enough, the comment that got me banned was on a post about punching nazis, i just made a stupid haha funny about how punching people was fun think it was “i just came here to punch people” (the humor is that its a reddit thread, doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out.)
but no, me threatening to pull out the teeth of a pro lifer was perfectly acceptable according to reddit. Some fascinating moderation there.
Easy, you advocated violence against reddit mods.
I moved to Reddit during the great Digg exodus.
Last year I had the exact same experience with the same subject in a r/Europe forum. I decided after the temporary ban that I wouldn’t use Reddit. Deleted my beloved Redditisfun App and never looked back.
it was a nice place before it was took over around Brexit
