This was finally the point that made me come here
Same here, friend. This is my first post. Fuck Musk, and fuck Spez.
Welcome to you both! I’m also new here and enjoying it so far!
Let's be real here, Pig Boy didn't need Elon to pressure him much to clamp down on people critical of the elite.
That's called class solidarity...
It ain't amazing how the rich ways have it but the normie is always simping for the club he don't belong to?
I get that Musk is doing all types of tropes. But... what is the source for this newspaper I never heard about before? Is there any evidence for these pressures beyond "Trust me bro, we are the Latin times"?
I also deleted my reddit account. What is happening in that sub?
Spez is silencing people all over reddit giving warnings n shit for making Elon cry, it's what made me come here just now via r/enoughmuskspam
It's why I came here...
I'm glad I got banned, Reddit is going downhill fast
Man he’s such a little fucking snowflake isn’t he?
Which one, (fuck) spez or the Nazi saluting trust fund baby?

Reddit died June 2023
I don't know why people are still playing with the corpse
I agree and haven't returned but lemmy hasn't hit critical mass yet.... Like I don't recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.

Just goes to show how easy it is to get these people upset.
Just call them out
Call them often
Call them out every day
Never stop calling them out ..... you'll know they're listening when someone either tells you or forces you to stop.
Nazis and authoritarians every single one of them.
That's more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)

I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying "Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell" - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.

I look at Reddit like I look at Facebook. Both are trash and have outlived their use. If you have a profile on either one, delete it or at least delete the app.
Reddit has been a an archive of some of the greatest collective minds of humanity. Besides the general algorithm up voting bots hogwash, there have been some really good subreddits with excellent information from learned professionals on topics. it I wish it was preserved rather than deleted. The AskHistorians is one of my favourite professional vetted and clean subreddits, lots of academic discussions there.
But all things have a Golden Era, and then it's enshittified and fades away. As Lemmy will be one day too.

That...should be intolerable for redditors, you'd think this would finally make them leave.
I tested just writing "Luigi" and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what's ok to say.

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.
I was banned for saying traitors to our nation should be publicly executed. Which is our actual law. So that’s confusing

Personally I couldn‘t care less about moderator outrage. Just read the room already and leave. No amount of kicking and screaming will take the platform off the hands of technofascists. You‘re clearly not valued there so why would they care if you cry about their decisions? Just grow a spine already.

Reddit is becoming such a shit hole anyway, the site barely functions on mobile browser now, half the time it has API errors or fails to load.

So surprised! /s
Moderators are outraged but will forget that in a few days and won't leave reddit anyway.
