I decided to make an account on Reddit after like 2 years, cause it’s the only place with a particular active community that I like.
I went through 4 accounts in 2 days, all perma banned. The mods in that place have gone completely insane, even more than before. Bans without warning, bans over hurt feelings, bans over literally nothing. The site is unusable, and there’s no discussion to be had because anything more than a one word answer gets you banned. I had an account there for 5 years with no issues, and now I lost 4 in 2 days over ban happy mods. Fuck that place
don’t go there bro. it’s shite. even 4chan is better, even tho it’s full of crap, but at least they rarely ban.
I never imagined I’d see the day someone sincerely suggested 4chan as a more reasonable alternative to reddit, but here we are.
And as an oldschool b\tard that dipped out when it got al nazi, I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think I agree with you.
What subs were you on? Which ones matter.
Dude I am solid there with you.
Used to be a FREQUENT contributor in /talesfromtechsupport. Months of free reddit gold.
I went back last year to post about a datacenter kerfluffle, I got a response ‘This isn’t the kind of content our sub hosts’, and a 3 day silence.
After I sent them the links to my old posts IN THEIR OWN SUB and got permabanned and then 10 mins after that a siteban for ‘evading sub bans’.
My account was 10+ years old
Fuck reddit
But lemmy is getting just as bad in a matter of months.
They’re probably trying to make it an inoffensive and kid friendly “safe space” so the new corporate overlords can start marketing it to children.
If that is what they’re doing then we’ll probably start seeing targeted ads for it that make it look like the new TikTok soon.
I’m glad I left that garbage dump of a website behind me. At this point I’d rather have nowhere to go than to go back to that shit hole
Even the comments seem unilaterally banal or inflammatory on reddit, it definitely hasn’t improved since I left.
Min 30% are bots, the comments will get more entertaining as AI improves, I’m sure, but by then it’ll be 60% bots.
Also, your username makes you worthy to be a mod here if you wish, and your choice of post even doubly so. Seriously, fuck reddit into the shadow realm.
