- Reddit has begun issuing warnings to users to regularly upvote violent content with a view to taking harsher action in future.
- The company says that it will consider expanding this action to other forms of content in future.
- Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.
If you are still on Reddit, that is pathetic. The API pricing was the reason to leave.
Can’t have anyone taking about the abuses going on, it makes Glorious Leader look bad.
As always, fuck reddit.
Funny enough, I just made this account after getting banned from reddit for reporting violent content. Apparently it constituted “abuse of the report button”, go figure.
I got banned for telling a mod “spank spank spank. Thats the sound I make as I spank you. Yes yes yes. Thats the sound you make as I spank you.” And I don’t regret it
I wouldn’t regret that either.
fucking normienet. why not punish users for overthrowing democracy and spreading misinformation , being bigoted and everything else that got us in this mess?
Because that generates 🌟ad revenue🌟 😍😍
Once you have shareholders, users don’t matter anymore, you serve them instead.
They don’t even serve shareholders, they serve the money they will give them if profits increase short-term.
I was permanently banned from reddit recently. Reason? There was a moron in a game sub who kept saying that I am dumb and my stats must be shit. I shared my stat and commented, “It must be tough to think and breathe at the same time with just one brain cell.” Boom. Banned for violating some policy. The moron who was being toxic is still active and pissing other people off. What’s more funny is that they even rejected my appeal.
I was banned for saying fascists need to be hung, appeal rejected. While you got that r/conservative sub and others like it being well, fascist and calling for Liberals demise.
Seems to me Reddit is a OK with hate speech as long as you hate the right kind.
It’s just like Twitter. Now that Trump is back in the white house, tech companies can get away with whatever boosts profits, even if it means being a toxic cesspool of conservative hate speech (it’s ok because the president does it amirite)
Fuck reddit. My ban is a badge of honor for not being a fucking snowflake.
Filing appeals is a joke on Reddit. They just simply ignore all of them. I’ve been shadowbanned from Reddit now for almost a month and I’ve submitted maybe three appeals. They just get off on their righteous rhetoric who feel they can never do wrong. They probably get off on people begging to have their accounts restored. Spam-filtering my ass, it’s working as intended as in, it makes their jobs easier to ignore you.
There are still human users over on reddit? This must change. More punishment on reddit please!
Delusional. There’s like 100 users on Lemmy. Reddit has grown its userbase this year.
Most users on Lemmy are Delusional. especially here in /c/Technology – turns out, this community isn’t for technology at all, but rather for bitching about silicon valley companies.
