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 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.

      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.
