Lol, how is it even possible to upvote banned content? I mean, is it not deleted if banned?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Banned after you upvote it

See something that’s pro-Luigi? That’s banned content

Pro-lemmy? That’s banned content

Upvoted a post about hypothetically killing a Republican? That’s banned content

Etc

First the removesort by controversial, and then you can't even see controversial posts. Soon there will be no conflicting opinions, just a hive mind echo chamber.

So, stop upvoting those luigi memes. How sad

At this point, getting banned at reddit is a badge of honor.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Uh...the "badge of honor" would have been quitting back during api-gate and not looking back. Getting banned now just means one participated after that time, providing spez with traffic and value, and helped normalize the behaviour that is only just now a bridge too far.

Today, a ban is the "conciliatory prize of not thinking ahead".

I was waiting for Reddit to bend in the same way the others have. It was only a matter of time.

Reddit really likes it's exit waves

[–] OneBigSpud@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Finally made the permanent switch over to Lemmy. I left a link in the Reddit Safety post so anyone else could convert easily.

It’s an absurd overreach to say the least; good riddance to the corpo-bot platform.

Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.

God help us if Elon Musk figures out how to run one.

ETA: I mention this because the current government wants to find anyone who does this.

The [unelected president] moaned on his platform that some Reddit users on the subreddit r/WhitePeopleTwitter had broken the law after they allegedly revealed the identities of his so-called DOGE goon squad.

reddit permabans you for vague interpretations of things they consider "threatening"

its already a thought crime zone.

Does saying "The only good fascist are very dead fascist" counts? What if I add that USA is a fascist country now? Will saying Donald is a pedophile still counts (I got banned for it already lol)? What about saying my favorite sport is nazi punching? And if I add that there's no such thing as "roman salute"?

Is Reddit about to drop a new t-shirt line "Protect fascist's feeling" or something?

If the content is banned how is it being upvoted?

fuck reddit

you know it's bad when ohanian and rose have gotten together to make a new digg

I'm glad that I don't use Reddit and have no intention on doing so. I remember there was a very talented artist who was wrongfully accused of using AI and banned on the art subreddit. That artist got banned even though receipts were shown to the mods proving the art was not AI, and I guess with this policy, I'd be at risk of being banned from Reddit altogether because I for sure would've upvoted the art if I did have a Reddit account, it was amazing.

Don't forget to leave bad review of reddit app and encourage others to move to lemmy in the review.
