This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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?
Yes, this is the exact mentality.
I got banned yesterday for basic "Eat the Rich" quotes with the occasional Luigi or Guillotine animated gif thrown in here or there.
Reddit is cracking down on anticapitalists for sure.
Reddit is a piece of shit.
reddit permabans you for vague interpretations of things they consider "threatening"
its already a thought crime zone.
Lol, how is it even possible to upvote banned content? I mean, is it not deleted if banned?
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
They probably did this specifically because people were upvoting our favorite plumber.
I got banned on Reddit, not by moderators of the sub, but by site admins for saying I hold similar values about CEOs like Luigid did.
Basically declaring that they don't allow free speech.
"Hey, you have been liking things we disagree with and we need an echo chamber here, align with us or fuck off. Sincerely, the money hungry bitches of the internet! Also heil daddy musk!"
Of course they don’t. They banned me 3 years ago for saying that if you have the chance, you should always punch a Nazi.
Excuse me? If someone says they want a genocide you have to wait until they take over, only then are you allowed to support violence.
I'm against violence, I think that reasonable and even somewhat unreasonable people should be talked with. But if someone says "fuck you I will kill you" you should have the right to punch them, it is the same as self defence, because next time they will kill you.
Basically declaring that they don’t allow free speech.
It's a privately owned platform. You never have an assurance of free speech on any of those, and on Reddit, the rot set in years ago.
I have a strange opinion, but here goes: The Right to Free Speech (Im in the US here), should protect you from censorship. Doing what Reddit is doing should be considered a Rights violation and we should be able to sue them into the ground.
paywall it, have bot create content, ban all humans.
reddit is the internet of things.
I once got banned for "vote brigading" on Reddit because I upvoted a crosspost that was deleted later, so this comes as no surprise. They have been monitoring upvotes and downvotes since forever.
Wtf is “vote brigading”?
When one community goes in mass to affect the votes in another. E.g someone is doing a poll/vote intended to be private or limited to a certain group/community, and you link that to from somewhere else with the hope, or sometimes direct instructions to go vote on it in a certain way.
That's why reddit has cross-posts and the np (no participation, disables voting in the linked content) subdomain that try to keep the votes separated.
When one community goes in mass
Slightly off-topic, but it’s en masse, not “in mass”
English is my third language, it's hard to remember which parts of it belong to a fourth one and shouldn't be translated (because "en masse" is literally French for "in mass")
Nobody elected the mods or the admins. And the management has shown itself to be, at least, MAGA-adjacent.
“reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote calls for a violent revolution against the billionaire class and the fascist neo feudalist militarized police state enforced wage slavery and rent till death economics they have created to benefit their endless growth driven profits while ignoring upvotes of content that praise violence against leftists, women and other marginalized leftist aligning groups and ideologies”
There, FTFY
Yes, this is exactly what it is. A call for violence against liberals? No worries. A statement that violence may be the only option left to fight a government controlled by billionaires? Banned.
after what they saw with luigi, and trying to suppress all news about it
They are desperay obvious and its cringe. They were in full blast damage control censorship mode even before december 4th. I was VPN banned last summer just for saying that occupied indigenous people have a right to resist occupation by any means necessary as per international law in regards to palestine and IsNoTreal. So far ive jot been able to evade the ban even with a vpn. Wall street military and prison industry profiteers have become too confident and comfortable.
