      ai strategy is the same

      buy book, use book to train ai, destroy book.

      buy reddit posts, use posts to train ai, destroy reddit

      if there is a way to download all reddit text i would love to know how. it is worth preserving. reddit already deleted a lot of old posts. and banned subreddits (waterniggas for example) are already gone forever.

    I got banned for saying that child predators deserve to be incarcerated forever and that Nazis only reason for existence is to be target practice.

    I still stand by both of these things and I hope my grandparents who fought against the Nazis are proud of me.

    Fuuuuuuuuuck Reddit. Fuuuuuuuuuck Nazis and kill all Child Predators!

      When these Chinese teenagers killed that village dog and its puppies, I called to return the favour, banned. Said Russia is a blight on the world, banned. Called to torch ICE buildings and actually show some dissent in the US, banned. Reedit is such a pussy platform.

    The same is happening across Lemmy. I have had many posts deleted from lemmy for allegedly breaking the rules, when they do not, not really. Power hungry mods seem to be a human attribute, not a reddit attribute. And, on lemmy, we should be doing more to stop that. I find that lemmy.world has tons of power hungry mods, such as those in pics and asklemmy.

    This is an example of such a removal: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/77781886. It had 40 comments. Removed by a mod without any reasoning explained. I had to look into the modlog to find a reason. The reasoning was “not a quest, just a rambling” (paraphrased). No, it was a question, you can see the question mark there. And more important than that, it was getting the community to engage, it had 40 comments.

      Some mods are gatekeeping any new posts by being pedantic about rules. it’s almost impossible to post.

        I think, there’s some soft censorship too.

        Either it’s the mods downvoting posts early or it’s the level of users they have cultivated.

        I feel like many IRL communities have been hijacked in some way. Like the Denver and Colorado subreddits.

        I can’t find anyone who hasn’t been mass downvoted and it doesn’t seem to align with the upvotes. It doesn’t seem like certain topics are off limits it seems much more like the entire idea of community organizing is off limits.

        That might sound like a strange theory until you see how much the Governor is worth.

        https://youtu.be/f0RK_yjdMXQ

        Not to mention smaller elections have brought that level of social media manipulation. This town had a mayor who won by like 8 votes and felt it was worth it to flood social media with posts about “how great the water is”.

        https://youtu.be/583G9pl_w_I

        Now look at an Englewood, CO subreddit post about the water. There’s very little arguing, but a ton of downvotes.

        https://www.reddit.com/r/englewoodco/comments/1txrd3o/englewood_restaurants_filtering_water_or_lack_of/

        https://www.reddit.com/r/englewoodco/comments/1u19v64/is_the_water_just_a_lil_gross_or_actually/

        Meanwhile…

        https://www.reddit.com/r/Denver/comments/oy4vsz/psa_e_coli_in_englewood_tap_water_how_fun/

        It’s not exactly the best water. It has had issues, but you get people jumping in to say it “meets EPA standards”. You see the same lines getting thrown out like someone has been leading what they should say. If you were to point out that EPA Standards is ambiguous and that many EPA standards have been lowered and with less enforcement, it’s like no one could even hear you.

        The good news is, many people simply leave those subreddits or don’t participate. The bad news is, how powerful an effect on perceived consensus it can be to come into those threads without knowing the baseline.

        Has no one done an analysis on subreddit votes?

        I have been researching what would be needed to show correlation between the topics and the votes. Because you can still pull the rss of new comments and posts.

      Bruce Banner is white, but he is not Hulk. Hulk is an independent entity from the other side of The Green Door that leads to the gamma reality and Bruce Banner became his conduit when blasted with grammar radiation. Hulk existed long before Banner. Hulk is green.

      Source: Am nerd, and also a huge Donny Cates fan. His Venom run is top drawer, I tell you. TOP. DRAWER. Seriously, though, it’s so good and did the characters of both Eddie and Venom so much so long overdue justice.

      Edit: There are also multiple different Hulks (technically the same psyche, but different manifestations) that can manifest through Bruce, so while Savage (classic/true) Hulk is green, Hulk, as an entity, can also be Grey, or a slightly different green with better hair and verbal skills, or a fuck-you-scary-demon-dad-thing, among others.

      You are missing the point. The screenshot shows just one example of how lame Reddit has become.

      I, myself, have just came over here from Reddit because I’ve had enough of Reddit’s bs.

      You’re being down voted but I agree with you. u/danschneidersfeet? Clearly a troll account and probably not the first post from that account that violated the rules.

        To bad Lemmites are allergic to actually thinking about a situation. Rather then just circlejerking over a headline.

        I can see why so many Lemmites got kicked off Reddit, and then act like the crazy obsessive ex.

      My only post on r/Minecraft got banned because it was a “redundant post”.

      It was a screenshot of a what I thought was a cool looking naturally generated portal.

      Reddit is the complete opposite of fun lmao
