    My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn’t see this earier.

    Anyways I think this is a dangerous chilling effect and reddit has a terrible track record for not using this as intended, so I can only expect Reddit Admins to use this beyond warning, I expect bans and this used in warrants/NSLs quickly.

    Stop using reddit, stop going to reddit. And bring everyone you can to Lemmy. I want to be able to cut out my city subreddits like /r/Denver like a clean shit.

    First the removesort by controversial, and then you can’t even see controversial posts. Soon there will be no conflicting opinions, just a hive mind echo chamber.

      Yeah. Except for some niche subs I haven’t miss it at all. And thanks to Privacy Redirect add-on, I haven’t visited Reddit itself for a long time. Since it still has some useful info that floods the search engines.

        You can get a copy of reddit data from just before It happened, run your very own searchable database. No need to go there at all.

    Same shit happens here and you know if. Anyone with any user count is heavily moderating violence.

      Not gonna lose a lot of sleep over a hateful asshole getting banned from a website.

      All hateful assholes believe their brand of hate is justified, just as you do.

        If you want to call hating on Nazis “hateful” then by all means but other than child rapists and rapists in general. I fucking hate Nazis and they can all go die for I care. That group murdered millions. They deserve all the hate they get, all the way till the end of time.

      I got banned when I saw someone say trans kids should be hunted in schools, and I told them I wish they’d get hit with a brick.

        I got banned for making fun of Kemi Badenoch when she said autistic people are privileged. I said maybe she’s jealous that there are people that know more about trains than her. That was apparently enough to warrant a permanent ban.

      I had an old account banned site wide for asking why there was an obvious gay guy on love island. Wasn’t even a malicious post I was genuinely curious how he faked his way on there.

      Recently I got a temp ban for mentioning chatgpt on the books sub, someone was asking about a large selection of books and which were worth reading. I told him to get chatgpt to sort the list out by most popular. Apparantly even mentioning an llm exists there is a ban.

      Kinda get the second one as authors all think chatgpt stealing from them or something but yeah I was talking about sorting a large list

        Why the hell would you go on a book community, open a discussion post that is clearly asking for personal opinions and go “I dunno lol go ask chatgpt”. I would’ve banned you too tbqh.

          Well how else are you going to sort a list of about 30 books to decide which are worth time or not. The guy had bought an anthology of every Alien/Aliens novel and was complaining a lot of the books in it were really bad and wanted help knowing which ones are actually worth reading.

          I just reply to things that show up my feed honestly and pretty randomly in fact that’s why I’ve posted here as well.

      I had my 13 year old account banned on reddit and the ‘final’ statement was saying ‘No, just the problems they deserve blame for’ to a Zionist who accused all Lebanese people of blaming all of Lebanon’s problems on Israel.

      Just saying that apparently is a call to violence against Jews…

    Reddit being the go to place for federal workers to explain what is happening on the fednews sub given reddit shadow banning new accounts and anti VPN stance is rather ironic with federal workers hiding their names and using stuff like signal out of fear of what the administration might do to them.

      Even proxies are not safe, only the more sophisticated ones usually evade reddits detection for a while.
