“Come make friends on Reddit”
“Come make friends on Reddit”
Lmao. Tell me Reddit inc doesn’t understand their product at all without telling me.
No one uses Reddit to make friends. (Yes, I know some jagweed will come with a story about their friends brothers girlfriends nephew that met their best friend on Reddit)
I’m just so thankful for Lemmy not having built in posts that are ads. I hate it so much on Reddit.
Reddit posting ads for more users is actually hilarious. They were soooo unconcerned with how many users they were going to lose when they made the 3rd party API changes. Like to the point where u/spez basically had a “let them eat cake” moment and just straight up said “were successful enough we dont care if we lose people”.
Come meet the most vindictive, aggravated, compulsively argumentative people you’ve ever met. On Reddit!
Would that be true for Parisians?
Haha I don’t know enough about Parisian culture to be comfortable taking such potshots!
Neither do I, but I am vindictive and someone in Paris was rude to me once!
Reddit is such a cesspool now. I got banned on r/Nintendohelp and r/Nintendo for participating in r/FuckNintendo
I also got banned from r/Pokemongo for participating in r/PGSharp
Reddit is useless nowadays since ai can answer most questions now. It’s only good for opinions people have and now even that’s in jeopardy.
My account of 12 years with a nearly pristine history got permabanned presumably after the mods of /r/portland made false reports about me to the admins because my advocacy for the homeless wasn’t what they wanted their controlled discourse to look like. They harassed me across other subreddits before doing so, too. I’m pretty sure one of the mods was an admin or knew admins because at one point in modmail they let slip an implication that they had access to Reddit’s browser fingerprinting. I was the main moderator of a somewhat popular NYC-based subreddit (I’d moved across the country), that sub was suddenly lawless after I poof disappeared and I have no way of explaining to the sub members what happened. Reddit is just a cesspool at this point.
Not only in Paris. Saw some of them in Marseille too. At first I thought it was some kind of “anti-ad” joke, where someone was giving them a bad rep because of how stupid it looked.
Guess it was not a joke.
Maybe they shouldn’t have permabanned thousands of active users like me, with a 12 year account and nearly 1 million Karma. People like me built Reddit, and as soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, the DOGE Goblin demanded that Reddit purge its membership. Now they’re stuck with bots, novelty accounts, punsters, Russian Propaganda Farmers, MAGA activists, etc.
Did you get any reason for the ban?
I got banned for “advocating violence” in a comment that simply said “I work in support services and I can personally attest that women can be extremely physically and emotionally violent, and to continually portray men as ‘the violent ones’ in our society, we tacitly deny protection to all people”
Banned for expressing this horrid thought.
You should be locked up, obviously. (I am kidding)
No appeal procedure is proposed?
Have you encountered the same problems on Lemmy?
I appealed (not because I actually gave a fuck) and they denied it saying it was reviewed by a human, it clearly was not reviewed by a human lol
Fuck that place anyways
Not OP, but the story is the same. Personally I said something bad about Elon. I don’t remember what but it didn’t break their rules.
The problem is they delete the “offending comment” and don’t tell you what it was and don’t give you a chance to argue your case. I got banned from a subredit once just by posting some lyrics to a song from Nightmare Before Christmas (Kidnap the Santy Claus). There is no point trying to make sense of it. Websites all die eventually and others take their place.
It’s Reddit’s time.
Personally I said something bad about Elon. I don’t remember what but it didn’t break their rules.
It does not look good, how do you know it did not break their rules?
Because I know what I post there. I don’t know exactly what was said because it was from days ago and I posted quite a bit in the comments. they of course won’t tell you what the comment was because they deleted it.
I think all of my anti-Musk posts were basically saying he was a douche or a dickhead in so many words. I’m sure it got reported, some basement knob mod banned me because they want to be Musk, and that’s the end of that.
If me and my posts (both comments and original posts) are what they’re selling, and I can’t express my opinion about someone, then the place isn’t worth my time. Reddit can go the bots and repost karma whores for all I care.
Hey you there reading this, I already upvoted all the anti-Reddit comments in this post, you can go rest instead
I could use a nap, cheers friend
Proud to be part of the resistance
Looks like there’s enough space to write “lemmy” in there
Yo france, you busy this evening? There are some new canvises we can paint on. A nice “Reddit ist so ein Pimmel” - germany
les autres
I prefer “lesbian with autism” merci beaucoup
What?
It means “thanks a lot”.
No, I meant why would you say “lesbian with autism”?
It’s a joke on how “les autres” looks.
Why don’t they just fire up some more bots?
I’m staying with my boyfriend because of his dog. Am I horrible?
Is there a Parisian who doesn’t do rock climbing, Pilates, or ceramics?
I’m going to the Maldives but I’m composting, does that make up for it?
Just between you and me, who’s ever bought fruit on the metro?
So, what do we do with the people on the wrong side of the escalator?
Has anyone ever found the exit at Chatelet, or is that a myth?
These are all valid and important questions that need to be discussed… ;-)
Oh good, I was starting to distrust my French.
