I want Lemmy to have niche content. I'm tired of being a bitter asshole about politics and news on here. I want to gleefully distract myself while my country burns, not be ultra depressed about it because its constantly in my face.
Hahahahahahahhahahaha this is wild. It’s so blatant. It’s just so unrepentantly, obviously, nakedly blatant. Jesus fuck.
Like im glad you guys are all getting out and finding us and other similar communities, but like… the societal and systemic implications of them going so hard on this on reddit makes me shudder to consider how insane moderation must be getting on normie social networks, which have been traditionally WILDLY awful on that point even before we decided to break fascist. This is them actively and aggressively suppressing free speech. Mahmoud Khalil was/is another instance of that. This is us not keeping the republic.
Reddit is more okay with people where we have indisputable video of them killing someone else in cold blood than someone who police just say trust us bro he did it.
That’s exactly what we need to take from this. Not that money is in control and that’s why they’re cracking down, but that they’re cracking down because they’re scared.
Migrate your posts to lemmy first (some of the lemmy apps can do this in bulk). Then Edit your old posts and comments, slowly, then delete them slowly. It's your content not Reddits.
By doing this it devalues Reddit in the process as it becomes void of human content only left with AI slop. They certainly dont value the content creators which made Reddit so why should you.
Can someone create a guide with this? Best tools, what to do if the comment thread isn't also on Lemmy, how to change your Reddit comments to gibberish, etc
Or does this guide already exist? (Should be included on the welcome letter to Lemmy if so)
While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, not buying a Tesla is also considered a violation.
Ahhhhhhhhh now I see what the enforcement angle is on orangeboi declaring that an “illegal boycott” (a term that makes roughly as much sense as “aerodynamic bedsheet”)
So they are dictating the things we can like now? Lol what a shit site that has become. Such a shame. I love it here though so I guess it all worked out
"Reddit has become a very large cesspool of poison, supporting genocide (Israel & Russia) and suppressing basic human rights. The admins have gone apeshit banning people for any reason, mentioning "luigi", even in a Nintendo context.
FUCK REDDIT and IT'S ADMINS.
FUCK RACIST, RAPIST, TRUMP
FUCK NAZI ELON MUSK
FUCK BILLIONAIRES/OLIGARCHS, THEY SHOULD ALL BE LUIGI'D.
FUCK EVERYONE ON THE EPSTEIN LIST, DIE IN A FIRE.
FREE PALESTINE, SUPPORT UKRAINE. BE HUMAN.
DELETE or BAN this account, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. PEOPLE OVER PROFIT."
Before getting banned it's probably a good idea to remove or replace all of your posts and comments with something like https://redact.dev/services/reddit
Reddit monetizes the content that users create so remove that content. The admins probably have tools to restore deleted comments and posts but that takes effort and time and if enough time goes by data and backups get lost.
Tbh I really do think the ship has sailed on that. They’re 100% archiving and off lining (and probably violating the shit out of GDPR) stuff to sell to LLM companies. Not to mention, that data’s already been tokenized and ingested into the systems, and from a computational and logical standpoint, it’s actually a pretty fucking hard problem that people are still trying to figure out how to dis/prove, let alone do reliably and effectively.
Your shit’s been snarfed. So has mine. I don’t mean to be a dick, but we will need to get over it, because there’s no recourse here. Don’t forget, but just account for it and don’t get too bent out of shape over it.
do you know how to download all of my reddit history for personal use? redacting is a good idea, but I want to keep it available to myself in case I need to look up something in there
Reddit has been hell for a long time. Posts advocating genocide of Arabs get upvoted regularly, and any pushback gets you banned. The fediverse is marginally better.
Nope! I got individual comments removed, and subreddit bans so I have a good idea. Anything even vaguely mentioning use of force will do it. One comment said "don't give Republicans an inch", I said "let's give them 9mm" and permaban.
This message was just anything vaguely supporting Luigi Mangione. Examples "innocent until proven guilty".
By this logic is the platform its self not breaking the rules by allowing a forum for the conversation to take place?
Getting band for something like this is like the equivalent of seeing a graffiti artist painting something on a public wall, smiling or nodding in approval, and getting a ticket handed to you around the corner for "participating".
Can you or somebody else with a Reddit account post a photo of Woody Guthrie to r/pics and/or some major history subreddit and title it “Woody Guthrie and his iconic guitar” but use the Reddit alien logo as a censor over the “This machine kills fascists” written on his guitar?
Pictures of Luigi Mangione, "Innocent until proven guilty", pictures of Luigi/Mario, Luigi's pizza, "Innocent until proven not guilty". The most explicit, maybe "DDD".
"Fiery death to all humans". You know, normal stuff.
