    Ironically, I swing by old.shittyplace.com to check out /r/conservative and/or /r/askaconservative every so often to see if any of them are starting to figure it out yet (spoiler alert: they aren’t, or they are celebrating it), and they always have a first page thread about how Reddit is just a liberal recruiting mouthpiece these days etc etc.

    Today is no exception.

    And for a bonus they have a thread about how Ask Reddit is just out of control with bait for conservatives - I took a peek and there are two current threads that have anything at all to do with conservatives.

    The conservative persecution complex is strong, never fear.

    Remember, conservative voices must be getting silenced because they never shut the fuck up telling us so.

    I got perma banned from my OG account for engaging with ruzzian trolls. Apparently telling them they’d look good fertilizing sunflowers, and digging babushka a fresh latrine pit is “promoting violence”. No warnings, just straight to ban. Reddit allows obvious ruzzian gas lighters, but bans those who call them out. That is Reddit today, a hotbed of ruzzian and nazi propaganda.

      Same here, I simply made a comment about “the Muscovites receiving a dose of their own medicine” and fucking Russian shill, Putin Bot and/or MAGAt reported me. To top it off, I did not use a single swear word in the comment. Fuck Russia and Reddit.

        i always commented on many of those subs, how alot of them are just russian bots/trolls, and people respond to these posts like its an actual person doing it, no its all russia. Half of the comments are more than likely russian bots, if reddit actually DOES ITS JOBS, reddit would be a very quiet place. i get that theres alot from US propaganda farms, but it pales in comparison to russia.

      i got temp ban, for reporting trolls, lol. apparently reporting more than once in arbitrary amount of time, is considered report abuse. its the same type of comments you hear from .ml false, pushing a botty narrative.

        It’s derogatory. It’s a play on the stupid “Z” they had on all their vehicles when they invaded Ukraine. “Cuntistan” would probably have got me banned. Anyway, I’ll misspell the names of any country I loathe, as much as I like :)

      There has been a recent flood of pro-russia pro-trump moderators in almost all the reddit subs i frequent. I also just got a permanant ban for evasion to post this. “It wasn’t enought to just amplify the idiots voices, they have to smother the voices of reason and doubt” Apparently that was uncivil way to speak about the mods.

      probably the latter, i was permabanned on 5+accs at once, when i was temp banned on an old one. found out reditt was deliberately doing a massive sweep to eliminate as much accounts as possible early FEB.

      too risky to even make a new account or even comment on most sub with my only one that is partially flagged. i tested by commented a bunch on a niche sub that isnt monitored heavily by filters or mods.

        There are a few. One thing to point out is that Mastadon users can (albeit in a clunky fashion) view and interact with Lemmy communities. I could see someone who is only into microblogging services interacting on a community here when they would have never signed up for reddit.

    I recently deleted my +10y (cant remember anymore how old it was) old account. I had not logged in with it since the first exodus.

    In my time, I started from the old reddit, saw the changes to more modern UI twice. I “collaborated” with the pixel art canvas event. (twice?) (last was fullout among us dithering) And finally saw the full revolt against spez that ended my journey there. (plus the complete enshittification of the reddit app)

        Hey, how about we leave the needless gendering of everything on reddit maybe? Gentle reminder that not everything needs to be gendered and (especially on Lemmy) there are lots of folks who might be put off in some way by this, because it feels very much (at least to me) like something (particularly white cishet) dudes say to each other and not something that applies to folks of all genders and communities, like “friend” for example. Not trying to imply that you are any of those things (even someone who is okay being called dude, I’m not calling you that, intending to be giving a vibe on the statement without judging you) just that that’s what I think of when I see that and I wouldn’t necessarily mind if someone said it to me (especially in person; I’m currently masc presenting at the least, not sure yet where I actually land) but thinking of others who might feels like something that happens on Lemmy that differentiates the community at large from reddit. Not saying it’s always like that, check my recent comments if you want to see examples of how some folks are def still trolling here, but it’s better and I hope we can continue to wear that diversity and respect as a badge of honor sort of.

          Sorry dude, these are commonly used expressions for like the last 60 years man. Why don’t you just enjoy the wide range of words used to communicate between humans friend? The history of our language. Hell ya brother should be read in the voice of Macho Man Randy savage. It adds some flair to the words when the reader understands the context.

          We should try to celebrate diversity instead of enforce conformity. Especially when it comes to communicating and language.

    Tesla is losing a pile of cash, anyone know how low it needs to go until Musk is going to get a margin call and the whole thing comes crumbling down? He has leveraged himself to the max.

      Tesla isn’t really losing anything except a bunch of fake market value. It was incredibly overvalued, and now this market correction is sorting itself out.

      Im pretty sure it was $167. He had crossed the margin threshold once before in 2022. I’m guessing Morgan Stanley picked up some shares and dumped them. 140-167 if memory serves. Im snagging 100p for next year

        So, again… who cares? It’s Reddit.

        I’m not trying to be argumentative at all, I’m genuinely asking why does anyone care that Reddit is turning full-fascist?

        Was everyone not aware this was the direction they were going in?

          Not every subreddit is turning fascist. It’s still a lifeline for a lot of people with certain health issues, or an evergreen repository for niche hobbies that is more complete than anywhere else with active communities that are helpful to newbies.

          It’s a huge ask getting people that are getting legitimate help and advice over there to move to a Lemmy community that lacks all the historical information and enough activity that helps people in a timely way.

          I know because I’m asking overthere. And a lot of people stuck there aren’t closet conservatives, trolls, or bots, they are sharing protest hat patterns, talking about how to get legal treatments that might get banned, and providing information and resources on how to get urgent location-banned medical care, i.e. abortions.

      Now new people are coming and this is a good thing. Let them get it out of their system.
