We could use some help to spread the word about Lemmy in relevant Reddit threads, feel free to join if you're interested

I just searched "nazi salute" on r/conservative... and its just such insane denialism...

Like, what if musk just do the "Heil H**ler" too?

I wonder what excuses they'll make then?

🤔

Fake News?

Deepfake?

🤣

r/conservative should be renamed to r/neonazi

I say this in the hopes Lemmy does not have them. Being too in favor of punching fascists should not result in a person being unable to participate in one of the largest forums on the internet. In fact, I'll go out and say, any behavior that would normally be bigotry or authoritarianism is immediately justifiable if its against fascists. Yes, I am venting because my 9th account got shadowbanned for ban evasion, how can you tell? If a person gets banned, they'll probably delete the account, When you then ban the new ones for evasion that is impossible to appeal, obvious fucking trap

Now Reddit’s not just promoting ragebait and AI generated stories, but divisive conservative rhetoric. Anyone else notice the non-political subreddits spontaneously hosting a population of chuds and propagandists where a few weeks ago they weren’t tolerated?

Has reddit changed the algorithm? Has some nation begun its bot operation? Has reddit deployed bots at musk’s behest? Has twitter sent its worst users to brigade? (All of twitter’s users are its worst users) I don’t know, but the effect is striking. All I’m certain about is that I’m avoiding reddit even harder now.

The group would be for discussion of political topics but without labels. Contributors would not identify as on the left or the right. Simple discussions based on your personal thoughts on issues.

Posts would be both linked articles and your own self posts about an issue. There would be no cries of consider the source. You can post a link from the NY Times or RedState. I'm using those just as examples of what ends discussions because your political affiliation reflexively causes you not to believe a particular source. Something is either true or not and truth is not dependent on the source that raises the issue.

Name calling would not be tolerated. If you rudely call out another contributor you would be banned for one month.

We always talk about those disillusioned with reddit and trying to get them to try Lemmy. I don't remember reddit ever having a successful group to discuss politics that wasn't slanted.

For this to be worth the trouble we will need at least a beginning of at least 10 users that would contribute to the group. And at least a few willing to be mods of the group. The group would be No Labels Politics.

Respond if you are willing to contribute, be a mod or both. And I will set it up.

I wish we could see up/downvotes like in the past. I think reddit may be artificially boosting some posts into the front page. You can see in the screenshot it has very little upvotes (or older) compared to the other top 4 posts.

I have no evidence other than noticing right after the election, /r/conservative seems to be hitting the front page every day. But I remember before the election, it only hit the front page once in a blue moon or so. Is this just me? Am I the only one noticing this?

This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being "unmoderated", but some were not. What are your thoughts?

Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.

Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

Surprising that this bug hit only NSFW and LGBT subs no? Almost sounds like there's a shortlist to run through with such scripts.

I was promoting Lemmy in the place that I was supposed to.

Reddit's automod thing says I threatened violence and harm and. I dunno? But I recall effectivly advocating against harm in the subs where discussion was going on. However It's funny. The morning after I remind folk that 'oh hey the corporate platforms, including reddit, will try to stifle discussion of altenritives' I eat a ban wit ha YOU WERE INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST PEOPLE warning.

...As I said.

They would not fear us, if we could not harm them.

Hello! Migrated over to Lemmy. I've noticed in the past few weeks a lot of posts/comments about protests, criticizing Nazis and Elon being censored/removed. This was all magnified in the past few hours as /r/whitepeopletwitter was banned tonight to satisfy fElon.

While they're censoring people/subs, I feel like a good amount of the community isn't even aware of spez being a trump supporter and how bad the donalds presence used to be, with conservative showing up on the front page a lot and subreddits being tempbanned(new mods), it seems to be headed that way again.

Yall need to stop suggesting the niche extremist instances tho, it almost seems like you dont want ppl coming unless they fit your specific ideology when you only suggest those. Suggest general purpose ones so they get the bigger picture, they'll eventually see those niche ones and decide to join them if they fit them.
