Reddit has made it easy now that my mobile apps are gone. Also, my main account got permananned on Tuesday apparently out of comment posted 5 years ago about spez. Also, a niche sub I followed was taken over by a Nazi when the historical mod got kicked out by reddit and now that’s gone too.
Reddit has slipped into being irrelevant very quickly.
My main account got permabanned for “sexualization of minors” after I made a comment criticizing a guy talking about what he’d do to 4th graders. Sent an appeal… and got permabanned on ALL of my accounts for “recurring offense”.
Maybe spez wants to turn all of Reddit into jailbait again.
That’s about the level of effort. I would wager that nobody really checks whether the admins or whatever they call their safety squad are doing a realistically good job… probably just metrics like “banned 150 people last week”.
I got a full IP ban from reddit because I asked a guy how he kept his calm and didnt flip his shit at his clients, after he just made a big post about how his clients were complete and utter idiots who made him ahve to come back at all hours of the day to fix their stupidity for over a year.
According to reddit, replying to a guys post with a relevant question constitutes severe harassment.
I wouldn’t say Reddit is irrelevant at all, not yet and maybe not for a long time. But I don’t care about Reddit at all anymore. I think that when Boost for Lemmy comes out I won’t even look back on Reddit
What sucks is there’s still a few very good subs with big communities that don’t seem to be moving to the fediverse, which is still too geeky for a lot of people. However, now that Reddit is banning active members and moderators, it’s a matter of weeks until the whole thing turns into 4chan-on-a-bad-day. At this rate we’ll all get back to usenet by 2024.

Reddit: “Someone reported a theft. What do you know?”
You: “Yes, I reported the theft. Here are the details of the perp.”
Reddit: “When we turned up you were the only one here. You sound like you know a lot. You’re under arrest for theft.”

I’ve been using Connect for Lemmy, and seems on par with Boost already.
