My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn’t see this earier.
Anyways I think this is a dangerous chilling effect and reddit has a terrible track record for not using this as intended, so I can only expect Reddit Admins to use this beyond warning, I expect bans and this used in warrants/NSLs quickly.
Stop using reddit, stop going to reddit.
At this point being banned might be a good thing to drive home the point that also my favorite of the old corporate internet platforms should be avoided. I’m doing quite okay on staying away from Meta and have long deleted my Twitter account. I can’t get myself do drop Reddit somehow. Seems like they’re only helping me get off my addiction
So, stop upvoting those luigi memes. How sad
Seriously though, who still uses Reddit? It’s nothing but a left wing echo chamber, just like BlueSky.
They aren’t and, if they were, is that a problem?
Look at what right-wing echo chambers have led to. Look at what the “centrist” internet has led to.
Its 2025 and there are still people on the Fediverse convinced that the problem is the “left”. Utterly divorced from reality.
That’s because the left expects loyalty but never gives it in return.
You people think you can keep calling people nazis because they don’t agree with you on everything and expect them to ignore it. People don’t like being censored and they don’t like being told what to think.
The left doesn’t care about the working class either, they’re just not as brazen in exploiting it. So when all that’s left is the culture war (good job everyone who perpetuated it over the class war), a significant amount of people aren’t going to be on your side.
A lot of you only have yourselves to blame. You behave like children yet want to be treated as adults. It doesn’t work that way outside of your parent’s houses.
My ONLY problem with the left is they preach tolerance but are ALWAYS the ones to start the abuse, insults, name calling and threats when they are disagreed with.
On a place light Reddit most subs will just ban you for showing any right leaning opinions. Or any opinion that goes against their narrative. That’s not what tolerance is.
That is because “the left” might have a few members that just so happen to be better read and have considered some of Popper’s writings.
On such a note, I presume these right-leaning opinions aren’t about the virtues of conservative fiscal policy?
There are many right wing views, views that are now sadly becoming more and more mainstream, that should not be tolerated. If right wingers had faced actual consequences when espousing their hatred of minorities, we might not be looking at a US government that wants to cozy up to Putin and distance their long term allies while stripping away the rights of US citizens.
Should people be allowed to say they don’t think trans women are they same as normal women?
Also, neither were designed specifically as such, unlike social sites like Truth. Plus, Twitter and Facebook are heavily dominated by right leaning groups.
I’m gonna buy a Luigi board to ask the guidance of Aaron Schwartz because I’m sure he is dying to get revenge
Reminds me of back in 2013 when Reddit admins accidentally revealed that Eglin Air Force Base, a location often cited as the source of government social-media propaganda/astroturfing programs, was the most Reddit addicted city in the world.
To be fair, every Air Force base had higher than average Reddit usage back in the day. It was one of the few websites not blocked by default. I don’t know when that changed, Because I was out before then.
But yes, there are also the propaganda teams.
I would expect Moscow or St Petersburg.

can someone explain to me the difference between corporate and government censorship, when corporations and the government are definitely fucking?
People get mad over government censorship, but condone corporate censorship if it’s something they want censored.
Going against an agreement you agreed to abide by is not censorship. If you don’t like the agreement, don’t agree to it.
One is illegal, the other is not.
and does that word mean anything in this context?
No. Nothing reddit is doing is illegal. When you sign up for a service like reddit, there is a TOS, which allows them to ban, warn, limit interaction, etc, at their discretion when terms of their TOS are violated.
If their TOS doesn’t allow pictures of butterflies, and you post pictures of butterflies, you will receive a warning. Continue posting butterflies, you’ll get banned, until eventually receiving a permaban. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it, because their TOS specifically states no butterfly pictures.

Spez has gone so far beyond being a mere cuck. He’s a goddamn cuckasauras.
Fuck it, I’m going to delete the account that I used to get over a previous permaban. I’ll read, but not post. No point in just posting anyway.
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.
Oh no! Anyways…
fuck reddit
you know it’s bad when ohanian and rose have gotten together to make a new digg
Yeah I got signaled on reddit for saying something about Trump, Elon and Vance regarding to Ukraine. Nothing that hasn’t been said, but I said they can fuck off and stop propping Russian imperialism and kidnapping children while commiting warcrimes. Guess Reddit is against that as they removed my comment and gave me a warning.
Also biased admins, there are places that are manipulated for disinformation purposes. It is kind of scary, when the sceptical view point gets deleted or thread blocked for no other reason than harming their often made up narrative.
Edit. Thread blocked as in you are blocked from posting and they can have a last rotten cherry on top
