The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.

    I was sign up number 3. I emailed Spez his own source code because he had the error reporting on his Web Server set to “VERBOSE”.

    I was permanently banned for an answer in an AskReddit thread that amounted to “what is true in your line of work that you can’t say”. My answer was that (edit: as I work in a highly female-dominated field of social work 30 women for every man)… non-males are insanely violent and one of the huge lies that is held in the public consciousness is that “men are the violent ones” when the reality is all people are violent, and there’s a tremendous amount of IPV especially in same-sex partnerships. Banned for “advocating violence”.

    Edit oops I edited the wrong comment lol

      I reported a comment for basically saying that men are the only violent sex, and they temp-banned me for abusing the reporting system. The explanation message (canned, I’m sure) said that abusively reporting people is a form of harassment or bullying, or something like that.

      Eat shit reddit, and fuck spez.

      edit: Based on my experience and what others are saying, I have to wonder, were they trying to burn it down from the inside?

        I don’t think they are trying to sabotage their own products. It really is that they’re not smart enough to see where is the value is. And this is kind of understandable, right? The underlying software has been copied already. It’s out there. If that company has value it’s only the user base. But that puts management in the strange situation where everything they are doing to make money is making their own product worse. And they kind of know it, right? But they can’t admit it. They can’t think about it clear. Their own mental stability relies on ignoring the obvious truths that they see and read every day.

        I had the exact same experience. I am a man that suffered tremendous amount of violence at the hands of my female caregivers and partners. I reported a similar hate-based comment against men and I got banned temporarily.

          Consider conducting some actual research and study, instead of deciding your and biased ideas represent reality.

          The fact is that in terms of frequency non-males are worst. Males more severe physical damage per incident.

          But don’t argue with me here, if you wanted actual knowledge on the subject you’d have it already.

      Been there since 07, also work in Human Services. Reddit died with Aaron. He was the heart and soul of the site. The decline started shortly after that and it was slow, but it really picked up steam around the time of their IPO, and ever since they’ve pretty much embraced “evil”. Fuck Spez.

      Sounds about right. The fact Reddit is killing off its best users is just a sign that Lemmy can bring us all back together.

        Not to be cynical, but the same human sludge on Reddit is now here. There’s a major problem with the collective consciousness that a new platform won’t solve.

          Reddit didn’t die because of them though. He died because they got rid of everyone else.

            DNC started astroturfing heavy around 2015 and kept pushing. It’s been an entire decade of slop on that hellsite

                Lmao you’re willfully ignorant or a shill. DNC has been running propaganda for a decade now on Reddit. Shareblue is a thing.

            I use Boost and the topic keyword blocker works really well. I’ve got a lot of political words blacklisted and it’s made browsing All much more pleasant.

      Incels are quite overly sensitive when it’s a women talking about violence against women by men, they brigade and try troll people. Askedddit also banned me, for because the sub was asking something about an actor, and I was explaining how a Star Trek actor made the show about herself( Beverly crusher) people don’t like how their holy trek role model was criticized.

      Askreddit is extremely sensitive when it comes to politics, feminism and never toxic masculinity, 12yo boys sexual curiosity
