Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn't really on topic, but it's happening anyways! I'm hungry.

Well that's just straight up fucking bonkers.

Exactly the same. I got critical of the right and all of a sudden banned for violence ? After 12 years ? And me NEVER calling for harm to anything.

But I got hyper critical of the right and that's what did it.

Reddit is and has failed.

Finally made the jump. Reddit is a right-wing cesspool of censorship.

I just created a Lemmy account because of this stupid policy. Republicans/Conservatives can spew all manner of hate without consequence and we upvote "Elbows Up" (a hockey term BTW) and we get banned? Screw that.

Reddit is turning into an American-dominated oligarchy. That's why I moved to Lemmy. Hi everyone!

Friendly reminder that almost all news media outlets and social media platforms are owned by a handful of extremely wealthy individuals and they are in full control of the algorithm that feeds you content, so you'll likely never see anything that is critical of them or advocates for them to have less power or influence than they do.

This is the 2025 version of "The revolution won't be televised".

I barely used Reddit - good riddance, this is what spurred me to sign up here. The right wing infestation of social media is nasty.

Citizen, you have been found guilty of wrong think!

Left because any form of critique gets you a ban. People rather look away from problems so they can say they don’t see any.

That's why I'm here.

Yeah, that's why I'm here now. That site has just been getting shittier and shittier.

Reddit; hear no evil, see no evil, upvote no evil

So if the content is banned how are people up voting it?

And now here I am.

Which is why I'm here!

I actually came here today because of this! So far so happy with Lemmy

It's so awesome seeing all these new people here bailing from reddit. Welcome!

And that is why I'm here now. Hello fellow travellers!

10 years on reddit, surprised about my comments never getting the same traction as identical comments. 3 days ban for insinuating a billionaire performing a Nazi salute may indeed be a Nazi, second ban for insinuating violent action sometimes needs to be taken in defense of democracy. Permaban for (politely and positively) judging the looks of someone that asked to be judged through a photography, and clearly needed lo lift up their self-esteem.

I rage quit reddit and delete my account that I opened long ago with the Google account I have recently cancelled.

I decide that maybe it deserves a second chance, so I create a new account with the email I account I host myself in my own server with my own domain.

The exact same comments I posted, with the exact same content and intention now get thousands of upvotes (so clearly, I had been shadowbanned for years)

Fuck them. Hello community, looking forward to have constructive interactions here.

Thats some goddamn thought police shit.

Also tells you how goddamn awful the powers that be are, that the only way they can stop criticism of their badness is to ban anyone that even gives the lowest effort agreement with the criticism.

I got banned from my city’s subreddit for calling out racism and within minutes was then banned 3 other Canadian subreddits.

The Russkies seem to have a stranglehold on our social media platforms

It's horrifying especially to think how Reddit never did anything about the fucked up things incels would say they wanted to do to underage girls and women, or the literally jailbait, racist, insanity they'd share. Basically that stuff was always okay, but if you want to defend yourself against your oppressor? Banned for upvoting despite you didn't even think the comment was "bannable".

Why I'm here on Lemmy now lol.

Someone posted this and that’s honestly scary. I hope more people abandon this sinking ship of Reddit.

I accidentally upvote, so even if I undo it, I think it’s only a matter of time. Plus they didn’t even think about edited posts. It may not start off with affecting a lot of people but may grow that way. It is what is pushing me to lemmy and I hope to join you guys for good convo!

Basically declaring that they don't allow free speech.

"Hey, you have been liking things we disagree with and we need an echo chamber here, align with us or fuck off. Sincerely, the money hungry bitches of the internet! Also heil daddy musk!"

F*ck those Reddit guys. Why is anyone still at that corporate swamp ?

I've been a Redditor for 13 years. I read the Admin explanation and the Mods reactions and immediately downloaded Lemmy. I'm still gonna lurk just to watch the chaos but fuck that noise with someone else's dick thank you very much.
