Can't kill a reanimated corpse, reddit is already dead.

[–] july@leminal.space 1 points 1 hour ago

Can't scroll mainfeed there without some soft core porn from sippintea pop up

[–] coffee_nutcase207@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

So glad to see some mods gone. They are power hungry petty people.

[–] Surp@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Lol fuck reddit cuck mods anyways.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Working for free for a major company should be considered a mental illness. If your going to volunteer your time do it to an actual good cause.

Not fucking reddit.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 59 minutes ago

Cmon. I deeply respect /r Eevee mods. What do they do, other than serve Eevee fans and have fun?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Bros are living in a fantasy, site was broken wide open years ago.

[–] sqgl@sh.itjust.works 13 points 12 hours ago

average of over 60,000 daily active moderators” that month, which, at the time, would mean that 0.1 percent of all mods equals 600 people.

No, it equals 60 people.

[–] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

lol of course power mods would say that.

Fuck that dumbass site.

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago

Every few months I check back and see if there's any news on awkardtheturtle rearing his ugly head, and every few months im satisfied they were totally obliterated

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

seems like they are testing how to consilidate control of the subs, into 1 or a few person, or under AI. of course they probably wont affect the propaganda mods, like r/conservatives.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I kibd of agree.with this one, on the other hand reddit is not my circus and those mods are not my monkeys.

Hell, I never understood why anyone worked for free to make the owners richer ? Here I get (and thank you), like an old school BBS but reddit makes zero sense as a mod.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

Fake importance.

[–] deczzz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 18 hours ago (6 children)

'member when redditors would ALL leave because of the API restrictions? This will have no real effect whatsoever. I'm glad that most redditors didn't move to lemmy.

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Strong words from a former reddit refugee, my man, we were the redditors that moved to Lemmy

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Nobody hates Reddit more than redditors.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 4 points 9 hours ago

Yep, I'm a redfugee myself

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 hours ago

I mean, I did. This is my 3rd account, after beehaw and then blahaj.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 10 hours ago

remember since this election, they have purging like crazy, up until may. people are still addicted to reddit, but lemmy also gained like 10k+? people from tha tpurge.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 19 points 17 hours ago

I mean, I sure did

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I still have a Reddit account that I use to follow NBA news and discussions, but I found myself going there less and less over time because most of the content is just so damn repetitive. The bots are really going into overdrive as of late, and it's making most of the big subs unusable. A lot of the small subs aren't any better because they're either controlled by some terminally online powermods or they're some extremely unhinged echo chamber. That being said, Lemmy isn't any better, but at least it's more private and less corporate.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 3 points 10 hours ago

Some subreddits have become completely impossible to post to. Your posts get deleted right away.

Plus, the option to default to Old Reddit doesn't work anymore. So fuck them.

I got banned for updooting Luigi stuff.

And I'll fucking do it again!

[–] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I only got a warning, they said if I did it again I could face a site-wide ban though. Pretty disturbing that they're tracking upvotes to a post.. they said I also upvoted a Luigi comment.. but in both cases, they wouldn't tell me specifically which post or comment triggered it.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 10 hours ago

oh you have no idea, the AI moderation they are using was going to ban you after that warning anyways. the moment your account is flagged with warnings or temp bans, it makes you susceptible to a shadowban down the line.

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

This is the way.

[–] BeefandSquints@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

I got banned for implying someone should give him a call. Reddit can lick my taint, it's not even worth making another account, I can talk to AI bots anywhere these days!

[–] shades@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago

Being a bass aggregator myself, its less likely they'll bite the hand that feeds them first,The exposure for my friend's accounts have been phenomenal though.

[–] pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip 57 points 22 hours ago (15 children)

I got my 15 year old account permanently banned for filing one report against a user who was stalking my profile to call me slurs. (This was “abusing the report button”, apparently.) Everyone in my household got their accounts banned alongside mine. It’s very strange how the site is being run now.

[–] OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Reddit has a whole metagame on trolling users in these ways. I don't think corporate cares at all. If anything spez probably welomes it.

[–] PonderousParrot@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

Obligatory fuck Spez.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 32 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. When my 12 year old account got banned I stopped caring about that site and started creating new accounts every week and just posting whatever the hell I wanted without feeling like I needed to censor myself anymore. So their ban happy culture tends to have the opposite effect of what they want.

There's a browser script out there that auto-adds all your subs back from your old account, so it really wasn't even inconvenient for me other than the 2 minutes it takes to create a throwaway email account and create a new throwaway Reddit account.

And yeah, their methods for preventing you from coming back end up preventing others using the same computer or in the same household from coming back, so they just lose users. Their methods aren't very sophisticated though, so it's pretty easy to avoid them.

Shit site.

[–] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

The problem with that is that it's so locked down now you need an account of X age with Y karma, so the majority of the site isn't something you can participate in. And I get it, lots of spam accounts and whatnot, but still shitty that they're a hair trigger away from destroying years worth of built up karma over nothing.

Fuck Reddit. It needs to die, along with discord.
