Reddit is trash these days

Roku shills are probably moderators. Just like with the Xfinity sub

Just post it in the fediverse.

I was perma-banned from r/gaming because of piracy. I posted a link to an unofficial port of a decompiled, abandonware game.

I used to love Reddit and it was my only social media site for a decade. But it became so Kafka-esque that it was causing me a tremendous amount of stress. Constantly fighting mod bans was akin to tilting at windmills, as it was completely pointless. So I quit cold turkey last year, deleting my account, and found Lemmy a few days later. I still find the content on Reddit incredibly helpful when I'm searching for information and posts come up on Google but I cannot interact with the site/app any longer. The constant deletions and bans are contrary to the original spirit of the site and have reached SNL sketch level.

8k views 12 upvotes

Those metrics are definetly not real.

I was perma banned by admins for hurting a mods feelings. Reddit is so scared of having to pay mods they let them do whatever they want. There is no point in trying to rationalize it. As long as mods go unpaid, they will be allowed to have absolute power in the communities they control.

Your first mistake was going to reddit.

Your second was abstractly talking about the fix here but not saying what it actually is.

Charges: resisting arrest

8k views means 7k ai scrapers downloading the same resource over and over

Just stop using reddit. Quit it.

stop using ubercorp social media

Weird thing to post in a shitpost community, though. I'm pretty sure there are dedicated communities for stuff like this.

Welcome to federated social media my dude. You're better off without that shithole.

I gave it one more shot after being away for a year. Posting my latest 3D Printer mod (after on Lemmy and the manufacturers forum). Immediately got a snarky garbage commenter. That's what I get.

Fuck reddit I mean that's all. I stopped looking at it so long ago. Found a way online to delete all my posts and my user account while downloading all my posts to an xml so I could keep MY content.

So you come to a completely different and unrelated website (and community) to complain about it while using AI to write your post? I don't mean to be rude, but this is a bit unpleasant.

If you're leaving Reddit in favour of Lemmy then you're welcomed. But keep in mind, we are not Reddit and don't want anything to do with it. Also, keep your instance's rules and those that may apply to the community to which you are posting. If you don't like your current instance you can migrate to a new one or make your own.

Welcome to Lemmy
