Arguably there is now more censorship on Reddit than on twitter.

Well, a few hours ago, I got permanently banned from Reddit, again, but this time with no explanation messages, or any recourse.

I suspect it was from my contant mocking of Musk and Trump, and the GOP in general.

Fuck them.

X, Facebook, threads, Instagram, Whatsapp, Amazon Prime, Reddit

Or use Amazon (I'm guilty), or shop at Walmart (sometimes guilty, but not often), or shop at Target, use Tiktok, use Facebook (reunion coordination only - but still guilty, I guess), use PayPal (very guilty), use LinkdIn, use Google (guilty).

It's really difficult to live a modern life, without being guilty of using anything exploitative of something. Of course, all the things (and many more) mentioned above are made to make people reliant on them by design.

Amazon operated in the red for over 7 years, before turning any profit, often selling and shipping items for a lower cost than they purchased the items for. But after that 7 years, they'd driven much of their competition out of business. Now there are fewer choices with regard to finding some items, because Amazon drove everyone out of business. The cheaper prices on Amazon? Nothing like what they used to be - they don't have to compete.

How many small towns have Walmart as virtually the only place to shop and/or the only employer?

It's very important in our modern, separated society, for people to return to basics....get to know your neighbors, stick together, become friends, and help one another out. Reddit used to really drive me nuts, in the work-related subreddits, where everyone used to say, "Your co-workers are not your friends." I wondered if many people ever looked past that, to ask if that's how HR wants things. How do you ever achieve solidarity in the workplace, when you walk in with that attitude? I've certainly had my share of hated co-workers, but much more often, I have been friends with many of them. Co-workers are a great resource to vent, problem solve, find out what's going on behind the scenes, and if there are problems - a great co-worker can be honest and let me know if I might be the problem, or not.

But, separated and isolated within our own little tribes/families, too busy working too many hours, for too little money, trying to keep up with too many financial obligations, is exactly how they get us exactly where they want us.

Things i have stopped using- X, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Lays, McDonalds, Burger King, Netflix, Walmart. Things where i have minimized consumption - Amazon, Best Buy, Steam, YouTube. Things where I am tied in and can't make a difference- Android, Windows, AWS, Gmail, Intel/AMD, MS Office (official productivity tools). Actually i don't mind going minimalistic to F over US companies.

A lot of the niche content I like is still on reddit, however I like the people and experience over here on Lemmy more.

What would be funny if this meme came from twitter. Which was posted on Reddit.

If you're still on Lemmy... Welcome! The more the merrier!

Reddit isn’t as bad as Twitter. Though it’s heading that way. But there is an alternative that is 90% as good.

"your're"

Hmmm...

I'm only on reddit to bring people here. Because we do have cookies.

yup I got shadow banned from that hell hole after saying something mean about the orange in chief it's so pathetic, it wasn't even super bad I commented 'welcome to Trump's america' under a post about inflation skyrocketing I was on the site for 12 years no problem

it's crazy to me I didn't know they were so beholden to the right. it used to be the fascists got mad reddit was banning them. to.be banned over simply light jokes is so dystopian

not to mention.. their ban detection system is fucking 1984 shit

I use Twitter and reddit for porn, nothing else anymore. People/communities I follow are ghost towns elsewhere. Everytime I point this out, people get butthurt, yet none of them link to their porn profile.

Post the (adorable, lanky, femboy, who has glasses and a thick uncut cock) porn, and as the saying goes, 'they will cum'.

I actually said “bye Fash-licia” to Reddit last week. I thought about trying to get banned for something stupid, just for the story. But instead I just quietly deleted the account.

I literally just got permabanned from Reddit after over 13 years and 200k karma! Lol

When Twitter-man did the salute, I deleted my old account (hadn't used it in years anyway) When Facebook-man said "no more fact checking," I deleted my old facebook (only kept it to keep in contact with, like, 2 people) When Tumblr-man banned the porn, I deleted my tumblr (you can guess why I had it) When Reddit-man said he wants to paywall the biggest subs, I deleted my reddit (also got banned but I prefer to say I did it for a better reason)

xitter is like 100 times worse than reddit.

reddit has issues with administration and moderation (especially the aspect of censorship), but xitter also has the overwhelmingly bigoted users on top of the censorship

Twitter got abandoned 1 month after the fascist bought it. Account deleted 6 months ago.

Reddit is on transition right now. I'm still checking it, but the time i spend there is much less, since i made a Lemmy account.

I'm trying OK! 😭

What's Twitter?

YRORURRE

I just occasionally go back to shill for Lemmy. Pretty sure that hurts them more than helps. :D

I didn't even use Twitter before the nazi bought it
