12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I’ve noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.
I’m just there for the porn, these days. Any sort of meaningful interaction with people happens elsewhere.
Uh… no offense, but why go to Reddit for porn when there’s PornHub, Xvideos, and Jizzle?
Lemmy is absolutely not beating the political tribalism allegations, holy.
Got banned for telling a Nazi off.
I hate to be that guy, but when you say “Nazi,” are you referring to a literal 1940s National Socialist German Workers Party 3rd/4th Reich “Aryan Race is superior and Jews are evil” Nazi (aka a real actual Nazi), or someone with a different political/social opinion/ideology from you (ie, a Republican/Democrat/whatever is opposite of your political/social ideology)?
I was on Reddit for like 13 years and never got banned for less than positive interactions with people that said they supported real, actual Nazis.
No.
The names change, but the ideology is the same. “Nazi” is just what they called themselves then. Now they’re “MAGA Republicans.” The ideology is virtually identical.
The ideology being blame “The Other” for your woes, when the Aristos are the ones fucking you.
“The Other” now being Latino migrants and Transsexuals.
Given how Reddit bans are currently being dealt out, it’s likely a “Aryan Race is superior and Jews are evil” Republican.
on another forum(not lemmy) they said reddit has recently enhanced thier detection of people ban evading using paid methods, which uses things to hide thier browser ID, IP,etc. its getting worst actually. thier also doing bulk bans, if a stranger gets banned anyone that is similar to that acct is also shadowbanned(allegedly thats what other banned users are reporting)
I’ve tried multiple ways of getting past it every account is almost instantly shadowbanned , I gave up searched for an alternative and found this
Well, Spez stated in an interview if society collapsed, he would be one of the ones in charge, due to his superiority.
“Steve Huffman, cofounder and CEO of Reddit, is confident he can emerge as a winner after the collapse of the social order. As he told Osnos, “I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.” This seems at the very least debatable—perhaps even wishful thinking.”

There was an interview where a tech reporter sat in on a meeting between Techbroligarchs, and they were literally discussing how to keep their security and staff loyal. The subject of “Shock Collars” was seriously discussed.
Good luck with that when the your Security takes your family hostage, Genius.
These guys are that delusional.
They are terrified. They should be. We should make them more afraid.
You conveniently left out the mostly likely case of them being Neo-Nazis which have been around since post-WWII.
I mean, was not when I said “4th Reich” including Neo-Nazis? I thought that is what I included.
Just to be clear, I do not support Nazis or Neo-Nazis. But American Democrats and Republicans (or any other ideology that may be different from my own) are not Nazis or Neo-Nazis. I don’t agree with either side of American politics, but that does not make me qualify them as Nazis.
IMO, calling anyone that is not an actual, real Nazi, such as an American Democrat or Republican (or whoever else thinks opposite from me), a “Nazi” or even “Neo-Nazi,” de-values the real suffering that people who are actual Holocaust victims had to deal with. Quite frankly, is insulting to me that anyone would ever attempt to equate the two. Its like saying getting hit by a fly swatter and a train will be the same level of pain and suffering.
I might think someone who thinks opposite of me is stupid, but it is neither illegal or against any rules to be stupid (sadly). But I certainly would not call them a Nazi and de-value the suffering Holocaust victims had to go through.
Calling people nazis is just shorthand for fascist which allows people to understand the depths of the horrors these individuals will cause.
It in no way devalues the suffering of Holocaust victims, its a warning.
You dont fucking wait until they’re turning the gas valves to go ‘oh these people are fascists!’
NSDAP, of course. Their moronic administrative decision of having redundant public institutions compete with each other is simply nonsense.
From the Führer perspective it makes perfect sense.
What do you do when you are a totalitarian ruler afraid of ambitious upstarts? You give them administrative responsibility, and then subtly pit them against each other, making them tear each other down while competing for your favor. And if push comes to shove you use the conflicting jurisdictions to accuse whoever comes out on top of abuse of power.
The only reason I log in there now is to slowly erase my comment history.
Literal brownshirt-wannabes are not worth engaging on social media, and “don’t feed the troll” has been an Internet aphorism since last century now
Just in case you didn’t know this, here is a program that lets you mass edit and delete all your comments on Reddit:
https://redact.dev/services/reddit
The free version only edits all your comments with random words, but for me was good enough just to delete my main account asap.
Yep, also told off Nazis. Then, perm banned. I’ve been on that site for 15 years, moved over to Lemmy. Fuck Reddit.
I was permabanned twice for speaking favorably of a certain green-capped man.
Reddit is fucking dead. It’s like 40% Russian psyops trolls, 25% bots, 25% Nazi trolls, 5% users, and 5% admins looking for shit to ban people for
Remember back in 2022 when Russia disconnected from the global Internet? Reddit was great that day. The amount of trolls and devisive posts plummeted and discussions were much more civil. That was when I first started thinking about looking for a different place to hang out (I had been a pretty prolific reddit commenter). Then the stuff in spring 2023 happened and I found my way here, leaving Reddit for good. No regrets for sure.
