Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
Meanwhile PoliticalCompassMemes and the 4chan subreddit stays up
Welcome refugees, the waters warm and we’ve got the kettle on for a cuppa
Finally deleted my account there just now. Place is so far removed from the principles it was founded on. Guess I’ll be here a lot more… but hopefully spending less time doom scrolling in general.
I don’t appreciate the Luigi praise or the DOGE leaks, either, but I recognize that I’m in the minority on Lemmy (lol) & idk to a certain extent I respect freedom of speech. The DOGE email leak is public info, in that it was leaked to the public…
In any case, we’re all in agreement: R!ddit deserves to die. Just because they were the first runaway success public forum doesn’t mean they own it forever. Especially when they shit the bed, suppress freedom of speech, kill 3rd party apps, & farm out user data for AI scraping.
I don’t condone wanton violence either, of course… but at the same time I recognise someone like Hamlet as a tragic hero. His most famous soliloquy, the “To be or not to be” one, is largely about whether you should stand up to tyranny, even though it may cost you dearly to oppose tyrants, or whether you should try and keep your head down and try to profit personally as a coward.
Yes, it’s better to achieve those goals through non violent means, but you need to draw a moral line. Luigi drew his.

Reddit currently has a beastiality sub. They don’t allow real images obviously but people post hentai and fish for more. In the comments, they give each other advice/describe their activities.
Reddit doesn’t care.
I mean… Lenny has rape.pet also
I’m afraid to say that’s not even the worst thing I’ve seen on Reddit and know continues to exist there. This is about bending over and showing their fealty to billionaires.
I mean the founder was the mod of /r/jailbait for years, if that’s what they had out in the open I don’t want to know what they have semi hidden
the admins ar eprobably in control of some of the subs, 92mods control over 500 subs.
something tells me he’s not the type to keep a semi hidden.
There is a disgusting underside that I don’t want to get into. Let’s just say that Reddit clearly doesn’t care that much about policing content. It’s only this topic in particular that they cannot condone. Criticizing billionaires is where they draw the line.
It disgusts me.
It’s what got me banned from both Reddit and twitter.
Xitter, people shouldve left X since 2022.
It was pre-musk and nothing I’ve seen him do made me wanna go back. It was crap then but now it’s shit
criticizing musk and trump specifically, Musk apparently got whitepeopletwitter banned for a while. and trump just gets you astroturfed.
theres also pedophelia adjacent going in some of the medical subs, minors who were positng about possible skin issues was than DM for more pics, i think they shut that avenue down really quick.
They don’t allow real images obviously but people post hentai and fish for more.
I read this wrong and was confused as to why they allow pictures of people abusing fish.
I’m kind of surprised r/50501 hasn’t been banned yet for inciting violence…
they are probably flagged, on thin ice. but conservative probably wont even touch the sub, because the cons will just flood other subs and cry about it.
Why would they? Ineffectual protests with disparate, unclear goals. More useful to keep them so there’s at least a harmless resistance to redirect energy toward.
What do you mean? Their goals are clear.
I couldn’t find that immediately on their site but Wikipedia told me it’s:
- Impeachment of Donald Trump and removal from office[1]
- Investigation into Elon Musk, DOGEand Trump appointees[1]
- Reinstatement of rescinded federal DEI initiatives[1]
- Protection of LGBTQ rights in the United States
- Protection of minorities and minority rights
- Reinstatement of Military aid to Ukraine[2]
- Lifting of tariffs against Canada and Mexico[2]
Which imo is an unrealistic bucket of goals, not a unified call to action
They may be unrealistic but that says more about this administration than it does about the protests. That’s pretty basic shit imo
Agreed. And I want groups like this to succeed. But we need a single, easily digestible message that can encompass all of these issues under one roof. That issue, imo, is wealth inequality. But now it all comes down to phrasing. It’s an issue that isn’t hard to get people on board with if, and only if, we are careful with messaging and branding. I wish I was joking, but that’s the world we live in. Not the one where I demand everything, get nothing, and keep being frustrated that it never changes. It’s time to adapt or continue the cycle of losing.
I don’t think phrasing is the problem. I think the problem is a lack of leaders willing to stand behind it. Democrats are trying to pander to rich people while simultaneously tapping into the anger at rich people and that just comes off as disingenuous at best. I think voters will turn out if we give them a reason to. I think Democrats know that too and that’s why they fight harder to stop progressives from gaining influence than they do to curb the existing influence of the rich.
It sounds like they are against the current administration. These are all of the things that were negative impacted by them.
Ok but this is the problem I think occupy wall street had. They were protesting the right people, getting attention, but consistently the messaging was vaguely gestures the system, Wall Street, bankers. We can speculate why that messaging wasn’t clear or didn’t get out, but we have an opportunity right now to correct that mistake.
So what do you suggest the correct message should be for 50501?
Income inequality in whatever the most palatable form is for the target audience who needs to hear it. That’s it. But I’m clearly not convincing you here - I’m just some rando idiot who sees a problem. I would gladly have an adult in the room give a better answer. In lieu of that, this is the best I’ve got for you. I’d love to have a space to discuss these things, I think actionable items like this are missing from current discourse here. Maybe it’s the format idk
Don’t worry, they’ll be on the chopping block. But the good thing is the group is everywhere. They are on Substack, as well as here on this app. But they are a very small group, and they are aware that they’ll be next so they posted on Reddit to everyone that they exist on Lemmy which is how I got introduced to this app.
Getting banned by reddit for posting rather innocuous comment is probably a good thing. Its UI is garbage anyway.
For anyone that still has a reddit account, if you have any good community subreddits, tell them to relocate to Lemmy :)
Dont mind me just slowly transitioning over to Lemmy
I regressed back to Reddit for a bit. I’m back for good after I found out they’re also suppressing anti consumption movements.
Reddit can keep all the NPCs.
What are they doing exactly?
Yiggity yikes.
I hope lemmy becomes large enough to support niche communities, but never coddles nazis like reddit does.
I fear that the Nazis will come first, but am hopeful they keep to their corner.
So far, most instances are hostile to nazis because they saw what reddit became. I hope that persists. nazis should not be welcome here like they are on reddit.
I came back just a few days before this rush began and boy does it feel prescient
Im here bc the app I used finally broke after the api changes years ago.
I like it but I do not understand the whole instance thing
Think of an “instance” as a server (or servers) where Lemmy is being hosted. So, lemmy.world is hosted by one entity while lemm.ee is being hosted by another. They just have different servers, but they can interact with each other.
Ah okay that makes sense thank you
It’s just like email. It mostly doesnt matter what instance you choose as you can talk with almost any other instance. There are a couple instances that have been defederated from most other instances, but they are few and far between. Anyway, it’s exactly like email.
Reddit says they care about freedom of speech and liberal views. I realized a long time ago that their view of liberalism is to allow people who follow their narrative and ban people who don’t.
care about freedom of speech
So did musk when he bought twitter.
Companies don’t care about your rights. They care about your money.
Suppressed_news is still around.
They have really unleashed the hounds recently it seems. I wonder how long before they start banning NSFW content.
They floated the idea of charging for access to certain subs a while back. They’re gonna paywall the porn.
That brings traffic

Blame Murica!
Time’s have changed And Trump is getting worse He won’t obey the judges He just wants to shart and curse
Should we blame the immigrants? Or blame society? Or should we blame the Billionaires like Thiel?
No! blame Murica, blame Murica With all their MAGA conspiracies And flippin’hats made overseas
Blame Murica, blame Murica We need to form a full boycott It’s Murica’s fault.
I got myself permabanned for saying even sharks don’t like Russians on a story about a shark attack. On that website since 2008, guess it was a good push in the right direction, it’s been getting shittier.
You must have missed the memo. Russia is fighting against sinful wokeness . Therfor you are in the wrong.
