They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
What I find ironic about this whole situation is that the conservatives had a major uproar after they discovered that the Biden administration told Meta/Facebook to censor COVID misinformation. But now that it’s them telling social media platforms to censor content critical of Musk and DOGE? Complete and utter silence. Free speech my ass. Source
I wonder how many people will struggle to cut themselves off from their reddit crackpipe. So many people are still using Meta shit even after it’s been overtly weaponized against dissidents.
It will probably be easier once Reddit bans them for sneezing.
Ah…ah…ah…ach-<no one should be allowed to bomb hospitals>-choo!
The sneeze sounded awfully close to “Luigi” so we’re going to ban you for three days to be safe.
Five minutes later
Actually you’re permanently banned because something something other account you haven’t logged into since 2019.
I bet only a handful know about it.
Ah the “free speech absolutist” strikes again.
Any time I hear someone say they are “free speech” I am going to pause because what it means is: “My speech > your speech”
True free speech means you know when you’re wrong and when you need to change, or as I like to call it: EMPATHY
Add “brown nosing spinless wimp” to the list of acceptable descriptors of Spez
Fuck u/spez
This works here right
always and forever
Oh good job Musk! Bring them all here! Right into our icy flippers!
Seems to be working.
I see many new ex redditors here like me
✋
Flippers because we’re penguins because we love Linux?
We’re not going to live down that time we held a guy at gunpoint in Grand Theft Auto to help him consider switching to Linux, are we?
No commrade senior citizen most equal of all pimball_wizard, we are not :'[
The day I saw Trump win I knew Reddit was going on the chopping block but even then, it’s been going downhill since 2016 with bots, bot mods, and language policing. Merely saying ‘fucking Luigi’ is a ban worthy offense and it’s absolutely asinine.
I received two platform bans in the last few months over the most asinine things. Hadn’t gotten a single one in nearly 15 years up until now.
I used to have three accounts to manage groupings of subreddits until I was banned for racism for asking lib women to treat white dudes better so an Arab spring like incident doesn’t happen before Trump won.
Do you recognize how problematic it is that you think women can solve men’s own behavior?
Yes but that’s not what that was about. It’s like I was trying to warn them, if you don’t treat men better the men will find a way to be treated better with or without your support and if they don’t have you to support them and keep them from their worst selves they may just choose to fuck everything up. History repeats itself.
I’m sorry? You’re asking us to fix men? Maybe we’re sick of it. How pathetic to even justify such a thing
I was gonna say no at first but you know what? Yes, in regards to not treating them like shit or passively discriminating against them is your civic duty to ‘fix’ them and keep them from being awful like it is men’s duty to look out women.
Furthermore to be abundantly fucking clear because for some reason not a lot of women get this or think this what I mean, I am not saying go fuck incels, I’m saying what goes around comes around and the more you disempower and shit on men the more extreme the reaction against you will be.
We can’t even start fucking public online groups without some feminist trying to shut them down while y’all are circlejerking about hating men. That’s a big problem.
So the plan for men is to beg those you’ve been oppressing for like… most of human history to be nicer to you?
The amount of coddling grown ass men seem to feel entitled to is wild. I got less coddling as a young girl.
Truth is this place will fall too. Unless someone can figure out how to protect against these take overs. The rich control the Internet just as easy as they control everything else.
If this is successful, it’s only a matter of time.
The fucking bots are insane, they don’t even try to hide over there.
I will never forget 2013 when Putin refused to sign an international agreement saying we won’t use AI in weapons and the rest of the world was on board with it.
I have been less active there since the API fracas, and since they announced they’re policing upvotes? I haven’t been active at all.
For real. Transparency makes this work much better than otherwise.
Reddit has been compromised by the oligarchs.
This is the exact catalyst that finally brought me over to Lemmy
Same. I had JUST said to someone last night that I’d never been banned or even warned, though I’d said plenty stuff on the violently anti fascist end of things. A few hours later, I get a warning, though they didn’t say for which comment. Thankfully, someone told me about her!
Her?
I got a 7 day platform ban for calling someone a virgin lmao
Wait. Here? Or on Reddit? Either way…ugh.
It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.
Sure lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.
when it was good, it was real good. Every subject I could want in one place, and I could organize it as I wish.
Lemmy is a confusing mess and lacking in basic features compared to reddit (although there’s probably front ends I could download that would fix my complaints).
Obviously, I’m here, so the inconvenience is an acceptable price for not being on reddit anymore.
I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.
World is already heading that way. It’s one of the few instances that requires your “real” email address and has deleted political threads.
I just left after twenty years. I warned them about overly censoring in their research calls but I guess they didn’t want to listen
Jesus has it been 20 years now? I’m old
I turn 40 on 4-20. We’re old now homie
You’re a wee babby. After the next few blinks, you’ll be 62 like me. Make the years count and don’t work for some corporate overlord anymore t than you have to.
Just a couple years behind you brother 😩
Just a reminder that if Musk can do this with no ownership of reddit, you know the CCP through Tencent has been doing it for ages.
Shame that the “DAE CHINA BAD” being shoehorned into unrelated conversations has made its way over to Lemmy now.
The Chinese government is an authoritarian shitshow. This is objective fact.
Before you even try it, don’t “what about” and point to another authoritarian shithole like that makes China’s continuing abuses ok. It’s not, and there is no defending it. To attempt to do so is excusing it, and merely shows your ignorance and/or complicity.
I bet you are one of those Le Redditors that still think the social credit score is a real thing that exist lmao
That’s the best you’ve got? “lmao”
Have you lived in China?
Have you lived on the moon?
Have you personally seen ICE abduct anyone?
To quote one of the greats, “The Chinaman is not the issue here, dude.”
It’s a good thing I was naming specific organizations instead of a racist dog whistle.
Woosh.
Musk, the great champion of freedom of speech!
My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn’t let me see what I even commented. They said it was “encouraging violence” but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.
I just got a temporary ban for cussing out Elon in one of the antifacist subreddits, felt good. I’m wearing this ban as a badge of honor.
Musk is such a free speech Nazi.
Yes because he’s a literal Nazi
He’s launching a free speech holocaust.
Moderators are outraged but will forget that in a few days and won’t leave reddit anyway.
The ones who would leave, have left and been replaced. Just like any other user.
They should only post critics of Doge now.
I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.
After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.
