Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
- Red, Red, Reddit, stay far from me-e-e-e-e-e-e
- Don’t let me be the one
- Being manipulated into being apathetic on social media for fear of being banned

Man the censorship is just vile too. It’s not like “Oh this incites violence” it’s “anything and everything that we and our shareholders don’t agree on is gone”.
Worst part is if any other countries went after them then they would just restrict it to US news.
Classic capitalist gotcha. Turns out that prioritizing shareholders (a 3rd party leech entity unrelated to the operations or customers) is always going to lead to censorship. Like the generic “shareholder” needs stable status quo to figure out how to exploit the poors in most efficient way and violent revolt doesn’t guarantee a higher than inflation result. Modern capitalism in America is straight up a mental disorder similar to hoarding. You don’t need the money nor the stock but you’re willing to fuck over literally thousands of people for a minor gain. It should be studied … but studying this doesn’t help the bottom line so fuck any progress it’s death and destruction for %% daily return. Fuck all this
Is it really down to shareholder demand though? I’ve a suspicion that it goes a bit higher than that.
Hey they got me long ago but permanently banned IP address maybe? Tried new numbers, new emails, and glad after the last few days
they also looked for same device, browser fingerprinting, behaviour pattern, reddits banning filters is the most aggressive of any social media, and site.
Lol same. I’m finally starting to realize it wasn’t a me thing. I’ve really disliked the general flow of reddit for a while but it’s just such an easy thing to open up and scroll through. Didn’t know alternatives like this existed
They are Streisand effecting the information though because the more they censor, the more people will talk about it. There’s already been a news article published by The Verge. It’s going to backfire so badly lmao.
Seeing that non-right sided medias are picking this up is good. Hopefully it builds more traction and if they can even say something as simple as “Lemmy is an alternative” we can see healthy growth. I know r/conservative is probably loving it but in the last month I’ve seen them advocate for more violence than any other subreddits. Yet they remain free and open. Gotta love how contradicting reddit has become since the blackout.
not contradicting at all if you consider them as part of the putin/musk propaganda apparatus
Reddit is compromised.
Elders of Lemmy:
Make advertisers into bad words “hellofresh the rich” " squarespace the ceos"
This is, excuse me, fucking brilliant
I fucking love this and I’m stealing it
Reminds me of how RTGame censors the word ‘fuck’ with the word ‘Youtube’ on videos posted to Youtube
I think you mean “Nintendo the CEOs”
Take my “emerald mine gold”
I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that the RDDT stock price has dropped 40% in the last month, and it’s not surprising. That site is a sinking ship.
And insiders dumped $59m shares in late January. Shocked, I tell you!
It’s the way of business these days. They got their money. The ship can sink now. The users suffer.
Good. The dildo of consequence is rarely lubed
After 12 years and over 900K Karma, I got permanently banned for repeating an opinion that I’ve posted many times over the past decade. Then Trump gets elected, and the exact same opinion gets me a permaban.
Now I’m hearing that they are banning people for UPVOTES! I wondered why Reddit had decided to throw in with the Nazis, and I this week I see in the news that Ohanion wants to buy TikTok. The new owner of TikTok will be personally chosen by HitlerPig, so Zuckerfuck has been kissing up, and now Ohanion wants in on it. HitlerPig will award it to whomever kisses his ass and pays him the most.
Reddit doesn’t want users participating in the site. They want eyes looking at ads and that’s it. Look, don’t touch. We’ve got bots for touching.
Lurkers are more lucrative than posters.
Other than the sweet sweet LLM training comment money….
BUT NO ACTUAL POSTS! LEAVE THOSE FOR ADVERTISERS!
I’m here because I replied to “let’s not give them an inch” with “let’s give them 9mm” and was permanently banned from politics, no recourse. That’s the most left leaning sub on the website.
When they took API access away I was pissed but I stayed. But taking away my free speech, seriously? They can go fuck themselves.
But do you think ‘nine millimeters’ would have passed?
I could have said “let’s give them 0.354 inches” but why bother. I did that for a few days but going on Reddit is the same as supporting them.
Quality perspective.
14 year old account for me. Mod of a million plus sub. 700k karma. Built fucking subreddits into real communities. Banned over a joke I made for a decade. Reddit is dying and we now have a new federated home.
A thousand Luigi’s upon Huffman and Musk!
/r/conservative and /r/conspiracy are still open… What a fucking shit-ass website. I don’t get why they don’t just
rm -rfthe whole fucking thing already.Clearly they’re pissed that people are still using the site. They’ve made efforts to stop it by making shit redesigns, releasing a shitty app, user profiles, shutting off the API and trying to force people to use their shit app.
They must be seething that people are still using it and they’ve found a new way to try to get people to stop. Of course, they could shut the site down, but these are execs we’re talking about - their forté is ignoring every elephant in the room and then creating “solutions” that completely miss the problem.
Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrections are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy…the frontier of the rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. The need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks.
This sounds like a star wars reference. The old republic trailers?
Andor. But good eye for the franchise.
Dont mind me just slowly transitioning over to Lemmy
I regressed back to Reddit for a bit. I’m back for good after I found out they’re also suppressing anti consumption movements.
Reddit can keep all the NPCs.
I hope lemmy becomes large enough to support niche communities, but never coddles nazis like reddit does.
What are they doing exactly?
Someone will post about victories in anti consumption and mods will remove it minutes or hours later. r/news is especially guilty of this.
Im here bc the app I used finally broke after the api changes years ago.
I like it but I do not understand the whole instance thing
It’s just like email. It mostly doesnt matter what instance you choose as you can talk with almost any other instance. There are a couple instances that have been defederated from most other instances, but they are few and far between. Anyway, it’s exactly like email.
It mostly doesnt matter what instance you choose as you can talk with almost any other instance.
since there isn’t an advantage of one instance over another and you can talk to everyone, why/ what are the benefits of joining a specific instance?
sidebar: would it be possible to change instances after account creation?
No. Find an instance that aligns with your morals and maybe something that interests you, like an lgbtq instance or a vegan instance and sign up there. As for moving instances, you can migrate your account, but it mostly just moves your subscriptions, not your comments or posts
Thanks whomever got a post about this place to hit the front Reddit page. I was on Mastadon and Substack and bluesky and hadnt even heard about this.
got banned for telling a trump supporter to go fuck himself after he joked about the 51st state among other things, im canadian. also i upvoted luigi content and got permanently banned. not just one email, but all connected emails as well.
im out. that place is a censored shithole. fuck reddit. i hope they ban all the real ones so they come here.
Reddit says they care about freedom of speech and liberal views. I realized a long time ago that their view of liberalism is to allow people who follow their narrative and ban people who don’t.
care about freedom of speech
So did musk when he bought twitter.
Companies don’t care about your rights. They care about your money.
Lemmy is what reddit used to be.
reddit was never open-source and community-hosted
I just meant the feel of it
So, Suppressed News has in fact, been suppressed…
Welcome to all lemmigrants !
