      I’m just going to latch onto the top comment…

      An actual reddit admin posted this 2 days ago:

      Today we are rolling out a new (sort of) enforcement action across the site. Historically, the only person actioned for posting violating content was the user who posted the content. The Reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content and report potentially violative content. This not only minimizes the distribution of the bad content, but it also ensures that the bad content is more likely to be removed. On the other hand, upvoting bad or violating content interferes with this system.

      So, starting today, users who, within a certain timeframe, upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies will begin to receive a warning. We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide. This will begin with users who are upvoting violent content, but we may consider expanding this in the future. In addition, while this is currently “warn only,” we will consider adding additional actions down the road.

      We know that the culture of a community is not just what gets posted, but what is engaged with. Voting comes with responsibility. This will have no impact on the vast majority of users as most already downvote or report abusive content. It is everyone’s collective responsibility to ensure that our ecosystem is healthy and that there is no tolerance for abuse on the site.

      Screenshot

      This was the only thing left reddit had going for itself: that users can influence the algorithm with their votes.

      The subredditDrama posts are here:

      reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1j5cqq1/multiple_subreddits_express_concern_after_reddit/
reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1j5tcgj/after_an_rpopculture_moderator_is_suspended/

      As someone who switched to feddit just a few days ago I can say this has been building up. Small things like deciding which comments get visibility, phasing out old.reddit, doing nothing about bots, introducing bot/karmafarma-friendly mechanisms, an uptick in pro-MAGA posts/comments as well as disinfo bots … but still, this feels like an uncharacteristically large step.

        I saw users warning other users to be careful (how they upvote) or they might get banned. I don’t know what else screams “censorship” and “hostile environment” quite like encouraging your own users to caution those around them to shut up.

    Yea, my blessed Fediverse brethren, hear ye!

    Mark thy holy lemmings, gird thy loins with smelling salts and prepare for the unwashed tides. The memes will be terrible and swift, and no one will be safe from the waves of idiocy.

    Tremble, for the 2nd Dawn of the Age of Incelius has arrived, and the Reddexodus Reddux is upon us!

    We all know what’s gonna happen next. The Admins will lock out the remaining mod and take it over for being “unmoderated” and install their own puppets like nothing ever happened.

    It’s not like we don’t have mod drama but at least when you’re federated, stupid decisions get limited to a single instance and others can simply defederate. Does allow for pretty… erm, interesting views you don’t see on Reddit.

      That’s the beauty of it.

      The drama I prefer is power tripping mods who hate your username, hates that you use acronyms, and hates your server.

      The drama I dont want is power tripping developers of Lemmy telling end users (us) what we can/can’t post using the software.

        Nah, mods can just lie in the modlog. Verify that shit, don’t listen to someone just because they’re an authority.

        Unless they’re a .ml admin. The admins of lemmy.ml are always perfect.

            Man goes to the doctor.

            He says “Doctor, I am miserable. I have been banned from one of my favourite Lemmy instances for no good reason.”

            Doctor says “Treatment is simple. db0 runs a community for disputing wrongful bans. Go argue with strangers. That should pick you up.”

            “But, Doctor…” says the man, “I was banned by db0.”

    Hey everyone, there’s a lot of you. You ever think maybe you can just troll them by none stop posting to all their subreddits. Hell the mods are like the same 20 people in over 5000 sub reddits. That’s a weak point. See, because more than half of you fucks are like “Let me take time off work and i"lll show up in a street randomly, I"ll make this sign with sparkle power and we can like fight the man by standing and marching all day every day I’lll do that but I won’t shit post that’s crazy.” But maybe shit posting is better because we can all see it and laugh and have fun but like when you’re standing in a street in Cincinnati, unless it’s shit posted we can’t all see it. And usually the only people shit posting are fucking proud boys who show up to beat you all up because I mean let’s be honest, they’re blasting and cruising while we’re all playing rimworld. Not to say that all people in the gym are like that, but just they adopted this weird subset in the gym and it works. So let’s trade protesting in for shit posting or something. Just saying. Fucking Luigi them. Also go to the gym fuckers.

    I lost my 14 year old Reddit mod account. That modded a million plus subreddit. Because I made a joke that McConnell was close to death. Which he is. But they banned me before having to offer me stock options. Cunts.

        Remember what killed Digg? Sarah Palin super users getting Republican content to the top of Digg. That will just kill Reddit off sooner.

          People often think it was the encryption key controversy that broke Digg. Nah, the massive vote brigades and cliques operating blatantly on the open were the first nail. The second nail was Digg redesign with the stated goal of “power users are good ackshually and no way this will go wrong”

          If random ordinary users don’t have any power on the site anymore - won’t be heard and will just be punished for ordinary actions - what has Reddit really become?

      Luigi Mangioni is going through trial for his murder of the United Healthcare CEO. Lots of people rally behind him as a symbol of fighting against the system and the system is not too pleased about it.

      I received a permanent ban from Reddit last week, and I’m here for the same reason. And Reddit IS turning facist, as the rich close ranks. Fuck them. Any “spirited” criticism of Trump/Musk is characterized as encouraging violence and results in temporary bans, many of which I received, until recently when I apparently crossed a line which was too offensive (to the Mods). Therefore…

      Same. I originally came here after they killed off 3rd party apps, then I figured out how to patch RiF again and didn’t spend as much time here.

      The propaganda and misinformation have gotten to be too much. Advice subs are all fake AI stories. Admins are making a fuss about people breaking the rules, but refuse to disclose what the rules actually are.

      I really enjoy Lemmy. The downside is that it’s not as easy to organize (and find) niche spaces like on reddit. I’m hoping the small communities have grown more since the first mass migration.

      Welcome, sibling! I came over in the rush after the reddit API debacle. Some things I’ve learned in the last year:

      We may not have Sprog here yet, but get to know the environment, including colorful fauna such as:

      • Cephalopods that have Colonized the Skies.
      • The embodiment of the habitual movements of a space captain.
      • People that are kind-of like ossified remains.
      • People whose entire self identities revolve around draconic coitus (and all the controversy this brings).

      The vast majority of posts are made by, like, ten people, and I’m pretty sure they never sleep. I’m currently unconvinced that Flying Squid isn’t just a full colony of Humboldt Squid, constantly ramming into a giant submerged keyboard.

      As far as controversies: Avoid the “tankies”. You will find them on Hexbear, Lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad. They will not be going away, since the original creator of Lemmy is, apparently, one of them, and seems kind of mad with power. They treat with no man, and are willing to do anything to convince you that authoritarianism is good, as long as it calls itself “socialism”. One would think they would have learned their lesson from “National Socialism”… They apparently have not. Not everyone from those servers is a tankie, but most tankies are on those servers. Think of Tankies as the lemmy subspecies of those trolls you shouldn’t be feeding.

      Contribute to discussions! Especially on a place as small as Lemmy, lurking actively harms the community! Unlike most places, it’s generally fairly easy to figure out who’s being disingenuous and arguing in bad faith, and most people are very reasonable! (As long as you never say anything bad about Linux. Be forewarned. Do not engage unless your autonomic nervous system runs Arch)

      Welcome!

      the immense amount of bans they came last month, ongoing since nov 5th is just made some of us come here. they are going to keep banning, or make it easier to ban until only right propaganda is left, also the increased amount of on the ability to ban people that “report other people” has also increased. you can get banned for reporting someone or reporting “too much” apparently.

      Welcome to Lemmy, bud!

      We have lots of Linux and Star Trek memes.

      I highly recommend that when you update “all” or your “front page” - be sure to set youe filter for “Hot” results. Gets you the fresh, interesting shit.
