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.
It’s starting here too I called out a 5hr old account for being a suspected Russian bot and my comments were removed. I also got mobbed on by a manosphere group in a comment on an article about a book that a woman wrote about being doxed with revenge porn. The toxic Reddit culture is starting to come over.
I find anything remotely pro women has always got shitty comments from the manosphere. We recently had a spate of shitty male comments on [email protected]
Thanks for this response. I feel less alone. It’s pretty frustrating to see these manosphere mobs claiming victim status and accusing people of misandry when women speak frankly about their lived experiences. I was hoping that lemmy would be a better space for this kind of thing.
You’re on lemmy.world, they’re the default landing zone but imo there is better moderation on dbzer0 and others. Keep looking around and report stuff you see if it’s hate content. Good luck…
I know, it’s disappointing. The nice thing is how fantastically supportive so many men have been, I’ve had a few DMs and really nice comments from them. It’s just the bad are so awful
I just got banned for saying that if RFK doesn’t believe in germ theory we should dust him with anthrax and see what he says, lol.
Capitalistic facism aka enshittiffication.
I got an account ban for stating how terrorists deserve to die, which I guess is a controversial opinion now. Bunch of pussies in charge of the place now.
Elon whined to the admins, reddit is completely run by fascist bootlickers lmao. You can’t even shit talk dusty evangelicals for being the amoral murder rapists they are without getting a site wide ban
Its been downhill for a while but seems to have picked up speed in the last 6 months or do. Hmm. Wonder why that is.
Oh good I’m not alone in believing something weird is going on like AI moderation. Random old account I had I wasn’t even using got a notification it was permabanned for violating a rule. No definition of which rule. Tried asking. Just a repeat that I violated a rule with no definition of which rule.
It must be just bots on there now.
no your not, i noticed it was odd that i wasnt recieving the incident of the ban, like they usually give if you get banned. but its just AI message and autorejection. and then the last thing, other accounts i havnt used years ago is banned too.
additionally, i had recieved a temp ban prior but it somehow triggered this.
Thanks,
I think I’m now just super creeped out at the thought of an entire site that is just AI bots now, updooting and responding to each other.
Or maybe I should be relieved. I was checking some of the stuff over there lately and I’ve just been getting sad and depressed about how stupid people have been getting.
Although it is Weird that Elon is getting offended by bots tho. Apparently he’s been asking spez to get rid of the mean dems saying bad things about him.
he partially the reason there was a purge in januarary.
Billionaires are taking control of any avenue for free speech. Get yourself ready to switch to torr. Won’t be long now until it’s the last place free of misinfo/disinfo campains.
You think it’s bad? Go look at “popular” while you’re not logged in (no subs / filters). It’s shocking how insipid the experience is.
Just looked. It’s basically Trump, Trump, vapid stuff, Trump, vapid stuff, vapid stuff, Trump on repeat
Going to the new section at night really shows how overridden the site is with bots.
Enshittification happened, a long time ago.
Reddits purpose is to create Nazis. You can post anything and use AI bots to do it as long as you push right wing propaganda.
I mean a lot of things happened to Reddit.
The most recent obvious decline was allowing AI moderation. That’s when I finally checked out.
Yup. No description other than ‘you violated the rules’ and you’re supposed to guess which rule. It’s like dating a gaslighting sociopath.
it was pretty obvious when in feb, everyone was getting the AI ban message left and right, and on all your old accounts too. and then comes the luigi/violence banning, plus musk interference. and now SHADOWBANNINg at random for anything, its just to keep the user numbers low on the site. for normal users, and not spammers(of fans, links) instant ban for some, and then they accidentally commented ina sub where it might have requirements.
Most of reddit is now a gross loop of ChatGPT shitting into its own mouth.
Like well obver 50% of the accounts are not real people anymore, moderation is also now handled by AI.
there was an article a while back, said 50% were bots anyways, while i was on reddit, it got noticibally quiet when reddit decided to do one of these purges.
True but point of OP is that it used to be liberal echo chamber but that has now changed.
Clearly Elon wants it a different way so you post anything you like as long as it fits Elon’s desired narrative.
It didn’t start as an echo chamber. Initially it was one of the few places online a progressive minded person could go and feel like they could express their opinions openly. And by “progressive” I mean both left and right leaning ideologies.
Which, funny enough is now a foreign concept. We call everyone on the left “progressive”, even though Biden and Kamala are clearly conservative Democrats. And we call Vance a “conservative” even though he’s clearly a progressive Republican.
Yep, absolutely. I lean right but fucking hate Trump. On lemmy I can say that, on old reddit I could say that, on current reddit I’ll get really nasty, hateful remarks and almost zero open dialogue
reddit holding to subs, like conservative, and a different donald sub+cospniracy, newnormal, trueunpopularopinion was a red flag.
Left about 3 months ago, has not been missed.
I canceled my reddit premium account a few months ago. I was shocked at how numerous and annoying the ads are.
People use the internet without ad blockers??
People paid for premium??
You might be the first guy I’ve heard who paid for premium
