PlasticExistenceReddit's gaslighting against the Fediverse is getting desperate
God. This is the first I'm heading of Reddit staff actively organizing against Lemmy- what's being said?
ShadywackSome stuff I'm seeing is "But but, what if your instance admin goes crazy????" or "I just want ONE community, not a bunch of fragmented ones"
Well, I'm stretching the truth just a little here. It has been reported that they're censoring any links or mentions of the Fediverse (just like Twitter did with Mastodon), but they are engaging in gaslighting about the protests.
Most recently the subs that voted to become NSFW marked themselves as such (thus self-filtering for anyone not wanting to see NSFW content), however the admins removed that designation from those subs... without removing the NSFW content first! They then sent the mods of those subs threatening messages about how the mods showed NSFW content to everyone without the proper filters in place!
Not sure about censoring links but they definetly rolled back manual edits i made to about 6 months of posts and comments pointing to join-lemmy.org and lemmy.world
Wtf seriously? That’s actually the worst offense I’ve heard from them so far - that tops the killing of 3rd party apps for me. Does it suck they killed 3rd party apps? Fuck yea. I left because of it. But I also recognize it’s their site and if they want to remove 3rd party apps they are within their right. But actively changing posts/removing edits is fucking WILD to me. Absolutely it’s censorship, fuck Reddit.
hydrause power delete suite and do the edits again until you lose API access or they give up
I popped on earlier today following a google link, I've made one comment in the last week or so, earlier today, when someone asked where everyone's migrating to... I said lemmy.world. So we'll see if they've got some kind of search filter setup I guess if that gets altered or left alone
A couple hundred of my edited and then deleted comments on my reddit account have shown back up since I ran Power Delete Suite. I re-ran that today, and I think it's getting severely rate limited now because a good third of my resurfaced comments did not get updated. So I manually edited those. I left all of them up after editing.
All of my existing comments tell people to join the fediverse. Let's see how many more of my old comments reappear now.
OverzeetopWhat if you change all your comments to Fuck u/Spez? Will the FuckSpezBot delete the comments for you?
I might have to try that tomorrow.
That's worth a shot!
2dStaff? The post doesn't really specify if it's Reddit admins or users that are talking about us
They've got astroturfers in every thread on the big subs that are basically FUDing the shit out of everything that isn't Reddit. Oh Lemmy too hard, oh Lemmy too complicated, Oh Lemmy require email on signup. They have so many shills now that they had to actually start handing out six month old accounts. It's hilarious to see.
