Reddit truly went to shit when it became a public company, Spez just wants to cash out, serves him fucking right Reddit stock is tanking, shit platform run by biased employees as well.
ai strategy is the same
buy book, use book to train ai, destroy book.
buy reddit posts, use posts to train ai, destroy reddit
if there is a way to download all reddit text i would love to know how. it is worth preserving. reddit already deleted a lot of old posts. and banned subreddits (waterniggas for example) are already gone forever.
I just tell people to commit sucide every other post. Still not banned.
Why waste time, say lot word when few word do trick?
Biggest rock is best rock
Reddit both mods and site admin are wayyy too ban happy on stuff that is harmless. Like when me saying “Lesbottoms” got me sitewide Reddit Ban
hey - at least homie got banned from one subreddit not nuked off the platform
Not nuked yet !
Yeah I say Reddit can go pound its dick. They kept banning me for dumb shit it’s like I have to circle jerk with these assholes or I get banned for a full week. I’ve been on there for 15 years although granted not giving two shits about it for most of that time. It’s kind of like me and Twitter I had Twitter since 2009 and never really used it up until like 3 years ago and then realized it was just the absolute dog shit of a company so now I don’t use it anymore.
The same is happening across Lemmy. I have had many posts deleted from lemmy for allegedly breaking the rules, when they do not, not really. Power hungry mods seem to be a human attribute, not a reddit attribute. And, on lemmy, we should be doing more to stop that. I find that lemmy.world has tons of power hungry mods, such as those in pics and asklemmy.
This is an example of such a removal: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/77781886. It had 40 comments. Removed by a mod without any reasoning explained. I had to look into the modlog to find a reason. The reasoning was “not a quest, just a rambling” (paraphrased). No, it was a question, you can see the question mark there. And more important than that, it was getting the community to engage, it had 40 comments.
Power hungry mods is one thing, reddit gave us powermods - coordinated moderators who push an agenda. Reddit admin supported powermods in the takeover of many subreddits shortly after they pushed through the API change that killed 3rd party apps.
Allegedly, Ghislaine Maxwell was a powermod in r/worldnews - and it would make sense for Epstein’s associates to be among that number, given that Trump’s main base started in 4chan (on /pol/, created after Epstein met 4chan’s founder) and found its way through to the mainstream via reddit and r/the_donald.
But the solution to powertripping mods is the same here as on reddit: make a new community, with blackjack and hookers. Arguably this is even easier here as you can make the same community name on a different instance.
Some mods are gatekeeping any new posts by being pedantic about rules. it’s almost impossible to post.
I think, there’s some soft censorship too.
Either it’s the mods downvoting posts early or it’s the level of users they have cultivated.
I feel like many IRL communities have been hijacked in some way. Like the Denver and Colorado subreddits.
I can’t find anyone who hasn’t been mass downvoted and it doesn’t seem to align with the upvotes. It doesn’t seem like certain topics are off limits it seems much more like the entire idea of community organizing is off limits.
That might sound like a strange theory until you see how much the Governor is worth.
Not to mention smaller elections have brought that level of social media manipulation. This town had a mayor who won by like 8 votes and felt it was worth it to flood social media with posts about “how great the water is”.
Now look at an Englewood, CO subreddit post about the water. There’s very little arguing, but a ton of downvotes.
https://www.reddit.com/r/englewoodco/comments/1u19v64/is_the_water_just_a_lil_gross_or_actually/
Meanwhile…
https://www.reddit.com/r/Denver/comments/oy4vsz/psa_e_coli_in_englewood_tap_water_how_fun/
It’s not exactly the best water. It has had issues, but you get people jumping in to say it “meets EPA standards”. You see the same lines getting thrown out like someone has been leading what they should say. If you were to point out that EPA Standards is ambiguous and that many EPA standards have been lowered and with less enforcement, it’s like no one could even hear you.
The good news is, many people simply leave those subreddits or don’t participate. The bad news is, how powerful an effect on perceived consensus it can be to come into those threads without knowing the baseline.
Has no one done an analysis on subreddit votes?
I have been researching what would be needed to show correlation between the topics and the votes. Because you can still pull the rss of new comments and posts.
At this point an ai bot for moderation like shieldstral is better.
I got banned for saying that child predators deserve to be incarcerated forever and that Nazis only reason for existence is to be target practice.
I still stand by both of these things and I hope my grandparents who fought against the Nazis are proud of me.
Fuuuuuuuuuck Reddit. Fuuuuuuuuuck Nazis and kill all Child Predators!
When these Chinese teenagers killed that village dog and its puppies, I called to return the favour, banned. Said Russia is a blight on the world, banned. Called to torch ICE buildings and actually show some dissent in the US, banned. Reedit is such a pussy platform.
Well, you’re literally making a call to violence. Can you blame them for removing and banning illegal content? If the government wanted to they could literally prosecute you or Reddit (if they wouldn’t remove it) for it. And no this is not some dictatorial stuff, calls to violence being prohibited are necessary in a democratic country.
Reddit is not going to break any laws to save your ass.
I can blame them. There’s 0 practical ways for that Redditor to follow through on their threats so it’s hyperbolic not threatening
Calling to violence ≠ threatening
Making a call to violence is saying anything in public that creates an atmosphere where violence is deemed acceptable. That’s the law and that’s illegal. It is much less severe than a direct or indirect threat, but still punishable.
Most likely a spam bot attempting to build karma.
Most LLMs have better language skills than that. Who is sending out illiterate bots to bring down democracy.
hulk hulk go away
make it so i am not gay
Too late, you already thought about Hulk.
🟢🍆😏
They literally just banned Chinese Hulk from the Hulk sub.
Hulk not good english have. Hulk white tho. Green 2. But white.
Bruce Banner is white, but he is not Hulk. Hulk is an independent entity from the other side of The Green Door that leads to the gamma reality and Bruce Banner became his conduit when blasted with grammar radiation. Hulk existed long before Banner. Hulk is green.
Source: Am nerd, and also a huge Donny Cates fan. His Venom run is top drawer, I tell you. TOP. DRAWER. Seriously, though, it’s so good and did the characters of both Eddie and Venom so much so long overdue justice.
Edit: There are also multiple different Hulks (technically the same psyche, but different manifestations) that can manifest through Bruce, so while Savage (classic/true) Hulk is green, Hulk, as an entity, can also be Grey, or a slightly different green with better hair and verbal skills, or a fuck-you-scary-demon-dad-thing, among others.
Reminds me of the guy who got perma banned from r/blender for commenting “Blendegh”
I got banned for racism for making fun of a nonexistent race. My comment was mocking racism.
I got banned from world news for saying “Jews are an ethnoreligious group”
I got banned for advocating violence against billionaires. I still do.
Well uh yeah, because making calls for violence is illegal lol
Reddit is not going to commit crimes to save your ass. What did you expect?
You’re my hero
All I can say is Muigi Langione.
You typed out five other words, but I’ll give you some slack, this is the written/typed word and you gave no outline of how that works for you, so I’ll assume it’s just a verbal limitation, for now.
However, if you’re not saying “Muigi Langioni, Muigi Langioni Muigi Langione Muigi Langioni, Muigi Langioni Muigi” like it’s that scene from Being John Malkovich every time you speak, and I catch wind of it, I’m going to hunt you down and fucking kill you for being a gods damned liar.
Edit: it’s a joke. Also watch Being John Malkovich. It’s great. Easily a top five for me.
Years ago - back when reddit was supposedly “good” in the days before Trump I got banned from AITAH for swearing because curse words are “violence.” Reddit has always been ridiculous trash.
They nuked whole subreddits for posting quotes from John Brown
The world needs more John Brown’s.
I got multiple suspensions for comparing ice facilities to concentration camps.
As we all should.
.
I got banned for one of those “How to kill orphan after parent is dead” jokes in a programming sub.
Which… the whole joke is that without context it looks awful. But also. Did the bot think I was sincerely asking…? I killed the parents but I needed Reddit’s help on the next steps.
LLMs do a lot of the moderation now. So people get instabanned for anything that can be taken out of context as violent. Which is dumb because that’s a boat load of expression. It’s basically a nanny like tik-tok.
I still see comments saying “this is reddit not tiktok you can say ___,” they are living in the past lol.
Sorry forbad english. Am Hulk.
Hulk no like Reddit.
Hulk SMASH Reddit!
Thank.
Thanks Hulk. You’ve done humanity a great service.
deleted by creator
Reddit destroyed itself! They post horrendous and brutal posts that demand a brutal reply, but if you do, you are immediately banned by their “PC bots”! Sooooo played!
