So, stop upvoting those luigi memes. How sad

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

can someone explain to me the difference between corporate and government censorship, when corporations and the government are definitely fucking?

One is illegal, the other is not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 34 minutes ago (1 children)

and does that word mean anything in this context?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 minutes ago

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.

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.

I would expect Moscow or St Petersburg.

I'm gonna buy a Luigi board to ask the guidance of Aaron Schwartz because I'm sure he is dying to get revenge

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.

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

you know it's bad when ohanian and rose have gotten together to make a new digg

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.

I'm glad that I don't use Reddit and have no intention on doing so. I remember there was a very talented artist who was wrongfully accused of using AI and banned on the art subreddit. That artist got banned even though receipts were shown to the mods proving the art was not AI, and I guess with this policy, I'd be at risk of being banned from Reddit altogether because I for sure would've upvoted the art if I did have a Reddit account, it was amazing.
