    Add that to the fact that there are so many people/bots on Reddit that if you post a comment as little as an hour or two after something is posted, your comment will never been seen and interacted with.

    There’s really not much value left in Reddit other than looking up archived answers.

    Protip: before nuking your account get one of those apps that replaces all the text with jibberish, that way not only are you making reddit less attractive to new people but less useful to bots and reddit itself.

    The other day I got a notification that Reddit removed my comment for hate speech. I was scared. Had I said something hateful?

    I went to check. It was a comment under a “Homophobic Gaster” meme in the Deltarune community. My comment was:

    IT IS I

    GASTER DELTARUNE

    AND I AM VERY,

    VERY

    HOMOPHOBIC.

    Reddit moderation has no human input whatsoever

      About the time that I knew that I was going to be leaving Reddit was when I got a similar notification, for threatening violence against another.

      It turns out in the post I was mocking a fictional character. That’s literally it.

        Fuck Erebus subreddit got banned for harassment and harm towards others. A completely made up character specifically designed by writers to be one of the most hated individual. No reference or links to anyone in real life.

        That subreddit got banned just before i did.

        So hating a fictional character is enough to trigger R1

            Yeah, and yes it was just stupid random sub dedicated to one of the most hated character of Warhammer 40k universe.

            It did got banned oddly just before i started to get warnings and temp bans in rather rapid succession, for pretty much the same behavior iv had been already doing for years.

            I assume they launched some new form of detection algorithm in the first half of this year.

    You want to know the reason. This is what I said on reddit and they banned me for 3 days. It’s not even suggesting violence but instead a gathering outside the mansion. Reddit is literally defending Tim Sweeney even.

    “Let’s go raid just outside the mansion”

    I will never use reddit again.

    Im currently on a temp ban (repeal didnt do anything)

    In a thread where the dashcam didnt slow down to let someone in who was doing a shitty merge, but the dashcam did a fucking pit maneuver and caused the car to fly across 3 lanes of traffic in a horrible crash.

    half the thread was retards saying it was justified and the dashcam guy had zero fault b/c the merger shouldn’t have done that (true)

    I sarcastically said you can run over jwalkers b/c jwalking is illegal and that got flagged for inciting violence b/c reddit literally cannot distinguish sarcasm if there’s not a /s

      Just forget about those platforms who censor ridiculous things. There are also Lemmy instances that does this. Run like the wind from all of that. Because people like that are dangerous. They would also burn books that can upset people. And they would support removing words from the language and replace them with other words.

        Yeah, reddit is certainly not what it was 10-15 years ago. hell its not what it was 2 years ago. The community is alot dumber and younger i guess. Still, lemmy doesnt have the range of subreddits, so reddit still has its place unfortunately.

      More and more people are and have been leaving Reddit.

      However, Reddit is expanding its reach and popularity in other regions with large populations, like India and developing countries across the globe as well as working to attract other cultures/circles and younger demographics. Strictly from a numbers perspective, it’s really only getting bigger.

      And the people who are there now don’t give a single gnat turd about privacy, censorship, APIs, artificial intelligence, bots, ads, crappy design, scams/spam, bad moderation/administration, centralized social media, toxic culture, or any of the other million reasons why people like you and I left. If they did, they wouldn’t be there now.

      Having said that, a lot of folks in the Lemmy-esque parts of the Fediverse came here to get away from Reddit’s culture, not just its mods and admins. A mass exodus of Redditors coming here is basically the very last thing they want. And truly, every time there is a big fiasco that leads to lots of people coming here from Reddit, it’s almost always the case that they come, they leave, and most of what remains is the very worst of Reddit that couldn’t get back in because they’re so toxic they were completely banned. I said what I said.

    Fun thing with sideloading Apollo app, you can now see the deleted and removed comments from people.

    Sometimes comments that are removed were genuine answers to questions, still wonder why these get removed. Other times it is just hilarious to see how mad people get towards strangers on the internet.

    TBH, I have some of the same issues here sometimes.

    Especially when it goes like, “Oh look, somebody replied to my post just five minutes ago!” What was the reply? ‘Deleted by creator’

      Once I corrected a guy on some minor D&D rule, nothing important

      He started insulting me, ultimately realized he was wrong, and deleted the comment alongside his entire freakin’ account
