Reddit

Everytime I try to waste my time on Reddit I am quickly reminded why I don't waste my time on reddit. That is all 🫡

DHS is expanding its use of administrative subpoenas, which don't come from judges.

I had two Reddit accounts for 10+ years, never received a ban on either account, even a temp ban. One was only for NSFW, weed and music discussion, the other was used much more broadly.

In the last few months I got banned on my primary account 3 times, twice for 3 days and once for 7 days.

All of the comments I was banned for were 100% factual, not specifically directed at any user, short and to the point but anti-Nazi/ICE/Fascism/Trump/Pedo in their content.

Reddit claimed I incited violence and harassed individuals, ultimately claimed because I had two accounts I was participating in ban evasion.

After this happened I created another account using a different internet connection, device, email, browser type, and VPN, it was banned in <5 hours for… ban evasion!

So fuck Reddit, they are complicit in all the nonsense going on and banning people for commenting about it.

I made this comment:

The executions of top Republicans are a necessity: Nuremberg 2.0. Not enough Confederate officials were punished as traitors.

It was removed and I was given a warning. On a whim I decided that "the system" might actually work so I made a straightforward argument that:

Arguing for Congress to initiate an inquisition as to who has failed the country and when, with the capacity to institute the death penalty, is within legally mandated freedom of speech.

And very quickly, my comment's removal was overturned.

The federal government has been usurped by a minority of White evangelical christians around a nazi-style fascist.

Not enough confederates were put to death. We have to stop making the mistake of failing to hold these people accountable.

Trump raped children.

Frankly I wish I had saved the text I used to submit the appeal. Oh well. It's my reddit cake day and I'm still in favor of burning reddit to the ground but that doesn't mean there isn't work available there for the enterprising shitposter.

Sometimes I find old Reddit posts on search engines, and when I look at them the top commenter's account is deleted. This has happened many times, and I was curious about the general statistics of this.

I made a small analysis of Reddit.

I searched some random words with top posts: "minecraft, people, help, science, google, amazon, funny, colorful."

I didn't just choose the top one; I chose 10 old posts and summed up the total users in comments (top posts hierarchically).

Results;

total 1,947 users, 451 deleted, 23.1%

btw this is for users who deleted their accounts; maybe there are many more abandoned

this is just a small research I did; the real stats may be higher or lower - I don't know

So at least in my research, 23% of top commentator Reddit users chose to delete their accounts; some of them also deleted their comments, and some obfuscated their comments (to poison LLMs)

But 23% of top commentors is a really big number. These guys made Reddit the Reddit, but they chose to leave

Recently, the top mod of r/antimeme has been announced dead by another mod. https://old.reddit.com/r/antimeme/comments/1r1id73/rest_in_peace_course/

Shortly after, users on r/antimeme2 started speculating it to be fake and the user got exposed

Leak show feds tracking anti-ICE Reddit users like "Budget-Chicken-2425"

Reddit is just pissing me off more and more by the day. Every single post (at least a solid 4/5ths of them) ends up getting auto-filtered. Sick of it...

Yet another reason to come to the Fediverse. Thanks, Reddit...

Here is the link to the orginal thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1qwo9u8/removed_by_moderator/

I’m ngl i’ve been doomscrolling hard over the wild stuff happening over this past week. I use reddit still to keep up to tabs on my local communities. My feed was full of anti Ice protest and the atrocious shit in the epstein files.

But today suddenly I’ve been getting A LOT of ads, random posts in subreddits I’m not even subscribed to or posts not politically related at all. Its feels like its a distraction from the stuff going on.

Anybody else run into anything similar?

"Dear mods, please show NASA how to take better pictures from space so you don’t have to delete them."

Hey, to anyone who uses both platforms, have y'all seen a huge uptick in Indian subreddits being recommended to y'all, irrespective of your nationality? It's something I had heard a lot happening on reddit, but I wanted to confirm

Love this pack, the only thing I disagree with is the cat posting. I love cats and love to see people post their pics, the thing I hate is when they make the title some sob backstory like, "Someone called my cat UGLY!"

Personally, I'd replace the cat posting with AITA bot generated stories.

I apparently got fucking shadow banned for fucking using a VPN??? What the actual fuck.I can't do anything, and I tried making a new account only to get shadowbanned just a day later. I am now banned on my main account + 2 other acocunts, because reddit sucks, and apparently the solution is to appeal DAILY until I get unbanned?

Is there any actual solution than spamming an appeal button every day?

I found that the members of r/luckystar were saying very sexual things about characters that, while 18, had very child like designs. And even if, they were saying shit like, "Cunny!" and, "Correction!" so, yeah.

I constantly reported all posts and comments like that I came across and eventually made a post asking why they were saying things like that. I wasn't hostile, and was in fact, rather calm about the situation. Meanwhile, they were all extremely rude and hostile towards my post, calling me names and such, and about 20 minutes later, my account was shadowbanned.

So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos, they didn't even have the decency to tell me what I did wrong. Assuming how it all happened so suddenly, I'm just gonna assume the pedos all mass-reported my account for God knows what. Any and all appeals I've mad since then received no response.

I still stuck around for a few months after that, [that whole deal happened back in May of 2025.] but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.

Tonight, I finally put my foot down and said, "I quit!" I discovered this website and made an account here. I guess you can use this post to welcome me to the Fediverse.

Marketers and their bots have been using reddit to hype up brands. No wonder Reddit feels like shit these days.
