They're probably blacklisting anyone who participated in the protests even if it's just by commenting. Remember yesterday when Reddit's servers were choking? I thought it was a site-wide issue as I couldn't open anything at all, but then I tried visiting the same Reddit links while unlogged and surprise, the site worked. It is as if Reddit is trying to hinder our ability to comment without us noticing it.

This sounds so fucked up man. Reddit is really killing itself

[–] andyburke@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How would I comment there after I stopped going to their site, though? 🤣

Vote with your URL bar!

Have to go to their site to continue deleting everything I've ever posted.

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Let a GreaseMonkey script automate those manual deletions.

Do they want a devastating, million-view YouTube documentary on the fall of reddit made?
Because they sure seem to be asking for one
and Internet Historian would have a field day with it...

Definitely got a shadowban for making a comment calling out spez during his AMA....

Soviets and Nazis were know for doing this sort of thing...

lets be reasonable now lol

[–] FrostBolt@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

The stakes are obviously much lower; however, the similarities between autocratic regimes and how reddit is acting lately are eerie...

Reddit is falling on its own sword on the stupidest hill.

[–] PenguinJuice@kbin.social 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We need to be serious about this move. How can anyone go back to a platform that profits solely from its users but then treat them like fucking crap? Extreeeeeme entitlement. Needs to be culled. If we don't out our foot down it'll spread like microtransactions in games did when no one spoke up when it first began.

The creator of the reddit Sync app has said he's making a Sync for Lemmy app. It's sad to see reddit go the way of Digg and Tumbler but so be it.

[–] Felemuso@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait is this true? 😯 I heard the exact opposite, that he said it would be too much work to migrate all APIs to lemmy. Do you have a source? Man, I would love if I get my beloved sync back.

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Harder! Faster! Deeper!

[–] Yewb@kbin.social 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had some comments straight up deleted from reddit alternatives, I had a long blurb about the history of aaron swartz, the ellen pao fiasco and how changing the API structure will fuck them over in the long run.

Completely gone, I cleared and deleted my account after that shit.

[–] Rabbithole@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Deleted by mods or admins?

[–] abff08f4813c@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Mods can only hide content from others but you will see it.

If it says removed by reddit then an admin did it

They're getting real petty with it, aren't they? Can't wait to see their IPO fail miserably.

[–] sotolf@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Already razed my account, so it's starting to really get wild now

[–] SINapps@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Clean put all your stuff and move on man, that ship is sinking like the fucking Lusitania

[–] ComeHereOrIHookYou@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Can't say, I left immediately jumped ship the moment Spez doubled down on their API change, before even the blackouts started. Good thing I trusted my instincts this time.
