A lot of comments there still missing the point entirely and airing their grievances about being banned from specific subreddits. Reddit has been filtering for the technologically illiterate.
It’s apparent there’s a certain percentage of users who cannot comprehend internet meta. No matter how you explain things they just can’t understand. With things like the difference between subreddit mods, company paid content mods, and site administrators (company employees). All they see is internet moderator. It’s all the same to them.
Don’t use reddit, don’t link to why reddit sucks. People here are aware.
The point of this community is to shill lemmy.
Talking about your ex isn’t promoting yourself… I don’t feel like being pulled into a back on forth on this one, but have a good day.
I think you’re misinterpreting my comment, people will go to the reddit thread to shill lemmy.
Fair enough; my morning coffee hadn’t chipped away at the crankiness yet.
Feel free to block this community, most of it are Reddit links where people chime in
Stop linking to reddit. https://archive.fo/6KUeI
And this comes to my purpose for making this post in r/50501: I want to call attention to Reddit and its policies that are suppressing free speech
lmao. There is no free speech on reddit.
One of the purpose of this community is to talk to people about Lemmy, so linking to the Reddit thread makes it easier for people to comment and vote there
This is WHY you would buy reddit in the first place so… yeah
How much do you bet that r/50501 will be eventually banned as “encouraging violence” or some similar bullshit? We’re dealing with Reddit.
Myself got shadowbanned not too long ago. Shadowbanning is fucking stupid, unless you’re damn sure you’re dealing with automated spam; when handling humans it’s the same as “we don’t want you here, but since we’re liars and deceivers we won’t tell you so.”
I’d say the best thing to do here is to weaponise the Streisand Effect: spread awareness of what Reddit is doing and silencing. Like OP and the OOP are doing.
So, I wouldn’t take anyone at their word here. Reddit shadowbans people for ban evasion or vote manipulation usually. Reddit doesn’t have to play favourites when for people involved it might just be the first time breaking Reddit ToS and now they’re surprised that there’s some moderation there at all given how lenient Reddit is on some things.
I can see plenty of people on the anti-Trump side advocate violence and destruction of property which while a noble goal is just stupid to do on a corporate platform that is legally liable for this. You could have done this ages ago and be on your 5th account when ban evasion filter catches you.
The other thing is that when you think you’re saving the world coordinating upvote/downvotes seems innocent enough but Reddit is pretty good at catching that and 50501 are likely amateurs in the world of manipulating Reddit. Far right has been at this way longer and got pretty good at skirting the rules and avoiding traps, hence this might appear that Reddit allows them to do anything.
