Got my ban yesterday for expressing my displeasure with Danielle Smith. Reddit has sold out
My 15 year old account got banned last week, too. On one hand it kinda sucks, but on the other hand it feels good to get out of that site’s echo chamber. Reddit is really circling the drain.
I had my 13 year old account also busted up due to that last summer.
Here’s my new thing.
All the people with critical thinking skills are leaving in droves. Leaving a massive bot farm authoritarian echo chamber in its wake.
As far as they’re concerned we’re the problem and it solved itself.
Smith is such a fucking joke… I grew up in Southern Alberta, I’ll never ever return.
What a great fat wet lettuce of a human. He’s only capable of paying other people to do his dirty work.

that is so much worse 😂
He can’t even play games of simulated violence without someone playing his character for him
We have to stop being surprised at this behavior and start expecting it and rejecting it, on sight.
This is the same kind of thing the 19 year old high school dropout with two kids he doesn’t have custody of posts on Facebook. Like “the devil whispered in my ear you can’t handle the storm and i said i am storm”
That’s exactly who he is trying to appeal to.
We should tie voting rights to child support payments. Would have stopped 45 from gaining office.
Is there a ThePack community or magazine around here? lol
There is indeed, [email protected].

Not much there so get in there and CRANK YER HOG!
CRANKIN MUH HAWG!
HAWG = CRANK’D
He is the size of a hurricane tbf
Hey, that’s unfair on the hurricanes. Some hurricanes are small and don’t cause damage at all.
I’m a fat boy at 5-11/230lb but I’m construction fat. That guy looks like a trash bag full of mashed potatoes.
Honestly the worst thing about this is that he has the confidence to be as big of a douche as he is looking like this…
Most people need to be supermodels to be as intensely unattractive in literally every other way as he is…
But then he’s not appealing to the general population, he’s appealing to… well not regular human people…
I have not seen anything from him that has ever exuded confidence. Dont confuse confidence with other shit like having a loud mouth or whatever
"WHITE WHALE!
HOLY GRAIL!"
Something something harpoons? Idk, I haven’t read Moby Dick.
“No, John. You are the demons.”
Exactly the kind of guy who detonates his rented Cybertruck at the Trump Vegas Hotel because he’s mad at the Woke
Fucker obviously doesn’t have cats.
Cats are a good litmus test.
God, what an insufferable Nazi cunt.
This feeds into the right-wing fantasy that they’re super tough warriors. You see a lot of literature and fictional TV aimed in this direction.
It’s kind of like the white savior complex but instead of saving some victimized minority, they’re saving weaker and more helpless individuals in their own society. But all the military hero returns home and confronts nasty biker gang or evil drug dealers and kicks their ass without when trying. It all reinforced their world view.
People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.
Left reddit… left Google… left Amazon… left meta… never had Twitter.
I am still on some meta services because my family is there. But I only post stuff relevant to those people. Everything else is fediverse and bluesky
People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons.
Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.
Indeed. I deleted my reddit account recently. I like it better here anyways. The pace is slower and the people seem more reasonable here too. My stress levels have decreased significantly since I left Meta and Reddit and that is at once wonderful and scary. Social media is a cancer.

I think there will be a mass exodus from reddit in the coming years. The site is compromised and the censorship is out of control.
not all at once, but a gradual decline in non-botted, troll accounts. since reddits mostly bots anyways,. as long as politics, and news subs getting much traffic people will be addicted to the site.
Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore
I have had a much better time on Lemmy, but I’m kind of the target audience in a few ways, so I’m biased. But I do think less harmful, more productive discussion is more likely to happen on this platform, I feel more comfortable discussing and less likely to be called slurs or called out (rather than called in which is undeniably more effective, and coincidentally feels much more common on Lemmy), and I feel like I’ve actually found folks I could see myself working with in some capacity, such as a project to help others patch up their data vulnerabilities, for a simplified example of an idea I’m considering.
Welcome btw :)
100%
Aye welcome to Lemmy! :) Happy to see you here
I just joined recently and was lurking until I saw your comment. Figured I’d join in :)
We can’t let billionaires own the town hall if we plan on having honest conversations. I am glad I finally found this place, and wish I would have left reddit earlier.
The world needs to forcefully liquidate the wealth of all billionaires and perpetually redistribe that excess wealth so nobody can ever be rich again.
The rich that push back need to be labled as dangerous terrorists that are a threat to our species, and will need to be put down like rabid dogs.
We don’t need to redistribute the wealth. Destroying it would work just fine.
They sentenced a person to death for 12 billion dollar bank fraud in Vietnam. I feel like their culture has the right idea.
“The world” is a convenient way to say “somebody else with a gun”.
This kind of thing is never done peacefully. So, if you’re going to advocate for violence, at least be honest about the fact that you’re looking for someone else to perpetrate violence on your behalf because you’re too much of a coward to do it yourself.
No, I’m all for doing it but I’m tired of liberal cowards talking about Ghandi and saying “you first, chief!”
I have a gun and I would do it if I didn’t have anything to lose and cared about my fellow man that much.
But no I’m not gonna save the world for you because you are a little bitch
What do you mean by Elon Musk’s assets should be liquidated?
Also, Reddit and X have very different moderating policies.
The banhammer is quite randomly pounded over there.

In a solution of 1/3 35% hydrogen peroxide and 2/3 98% sulfuric acid.
Why the addition of Hydrogen peroxide?
It turns it into Caro’s acid/pirhana solution. Incredibly corrosive and it will break down all dna into nothing.
Ah yeah sounds particularly nasty!
Look it up on YouTube. Compare it to regular sulfuric acid and you’ll see just how much faster it dissolves things. Even teeth which are difficult to dissolved will readily dissolve in caro’s acid.
What the hell even is this?
The oligarchy owns 90% of social media so it’s no surprise
You’re wording it as if we shouldn’t be outraged anyways.
Personally, since I’ve been banned from Reddit and faslcebook (a long time ago) and am no longer able to interact but still view: I’ve gained the ability to spot the bots and shills and see through the brain rot. This enables me to better teach my children on how to avoid it.
It’s actually a blessing in disguise.
Be as outraged as you want but at the end of the day social media is a business and they’ve chosen to no longer do business with you.
If anything, be outraged at all the other shit the oligarchy are planning to do.
Is it just me or are other people giving fewer and fewer fucks about why somebody got banned on reddit, or anything else that happens on reddit?
I’m loathe to defend Reddit’s moderation decision but my experience you can never trust the person being banned to explain why they were banned.
I agree - except for the time I got banned…
