Ok homeland security, good luck arresting all them AI bots.
This is how stupid the people in charge are. They’re literally trying to arrest bots.
For all we know, the leader of Antifa might be a bot. Or a dog.
No way the fed goes to the public platform? Who could have guess. Dont feel like you are safer here. Juste less a priority
I used reddit for over a decade, but I was never willing to buy reddit gold or support it because I didn’t trust any site where I shared my political opinions to have those opinions tied with by real name or any other billing info. Same with discord. At least with lemmy, you can support it without tying it to your account.
I tend to think that – for myself for sure but probably most other people – after a decade plus on Reddit, you’ve likely said and posted enough stuff that somebody could follow the breadcrumbs back to you. Theyd have to really want to and it would take a lot of reading your posts, but it could probably be done. Anonymity doesn’t exist without a vpn, and even then you’re probably still identifiable. Don’t say, post or do anything on the internet that youre not willing to defend/pay for in real life.
I’ve always isolated my username from irl stuff and I don’t make any social media posts from my irl stuff. You’d have to be very interested in me specifically and I’ve always tried to be slightly less noisy then the background noise.
Yeah, but the website owners have access to a lot more information than is just available publicly. You probably could be identified by a fed if reddit gave them that information.
You might not be worth the effort, especially since most other people would probably be less effort to track down. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible.

I have politically active friends who are supposedly privacy minded blasting their takes on facebook and complaining when they get banned for inciting violence. Most people are terrible at this and the algos the feds use probably aren’t that great. I’m more likely to get grabbed randomly.
If they really want to negate “reputational risk”, they should look closer at themselves. Alas, theyll never do that
It’s a good thing I got permanently banned from Reddit just for saying “gill o’ teen”. Like this is America, it’s free speech.
I got banned for racism … for making fun of a non-existent race. And the whole point of my comment was to mock racism itself.
Like the clorophors, dirty money grubbing clorophors. Tried to clorph me right out of my money … blew those little bastards up is what I did.
sounds like they use AI to do it, probabably hallucinating assuming TOS violations.
Fucking Cardie spoonheads. They totally fucked Bajor.
I got banned for updooting comments about Luigi…
(Free Luigi!)
Free Luigi! Reddit is crap now
Free speech means you don’t need to pay anything to speak. Not that you are free to say anything.
-Some US ceo
Free speech!
[with purchase of regular-priced speech]
Free speech, unless you say something they don’t like 😂
old dependable gil. Say what you want about the irish but he is one of the best.
I got banned for saying we should cyberbully Elon Musk to suicide.
Elon complains to reddit quite often if they target him, spez has purges based on his emotions.
Banned as well, but I said we should all be able to punch Nazis. If you’re sitting at a table of 9 Nazis, you’re the 10th.
What if I’m waiting for the poison to set in?
Winter came for those Nazi scum!
Deleted my account years ago.
- the new home algorithm is filled with problematic subs, and is an opportunity for algorithmic propaganda
- After forcing emails it’s been downhill
- Needing to app for “incognito” is suspicious as hell
- I do not like their leadership
- The website runs like crap, and the redesign is not new at all. Every time I see the old design it’s a breath of fresh air and several hundred MB back to my OS.
- Lately all is filled with US critical posts that get deleted for no stated reason.
The main reason I stay there are niche subreddits.
Even bigger ones are dead here.
I saw that 2-3year ago people try to copy paste stuff from reddit, but I see its discontinued.
What happend?
That was when Reddit killed their API for apps and started charging money for it. It lead to the first lemmy exodus.
Around that time there was a lot of attempts to build community and some people felt it was useful to bootstrap lemmy with Reddit content.
It mostly resulted in a lot of dead end posts and crap, so I think it got dialled back a lot. It was a lot of noise that people hated/defederated from.
- You are getting auto banned by AI and your appeals are also reviewed probably by AI.
Just don’t upset the though police or post in any subreddit that accepts posts.
I’ve made it a game of copy/pasting entire statements Republican politicians have made about healthcare into threads about police brutality and civil rights and getting multi-day suspended.
Now they let you hide your history, making it harder to find the bot accounts.
Literally the only purpose of doing that bs. A small percentage of users even went to the profiles to prove our case. That’s why they started that bullshit scout looking at post history makes you a loser stalker. Jokes on them i don’t give a fuck of some Nazi thinks I’m a stalker.
Ironically, if you just assume every blocked history is a bot account, that’s better accuracy than before trying to puzzle out the actual history.
Learned from growing up in a communist dictatorship: don’t discuss politics and religion with strangers. And even with friends or acquaintances, don’t discuss it in writing. It doesn’t mean you can’t have strong opinions, but don’t make them public. Talking (not writing) one-to-one or in small groups eventually toppled almost all communist dictatotships, so there’s absolutely no need to broadcast your opinions, unless your goal is to be martyred.
Communists were nice.
Well, there is no such thing as communism with a dictator. It’s simply two opposites.
Communism is without a state. Meaning no true communist country have ever existed in modern time.
Please don’t argue theory definitions with someone who lived through the reality, its just straight insensitive
I got shocked the other day stepping on live wires… I now have a degree in Electrical Engineering. (Actually Not: My experience is not the same as expertise)
they didn’t say they were wrong, just an asshole.
it’s like someone died to a live wire and you correct their family that it was the amps not the voltage that killed them. you’re not wrong, but you’re a tone deaf dickhead.
While I agree, there’s also a risk in letting the hypothetical family cause alarm about something false around electricity or whatever (misinformation).
They are arguing the definitions with someone who was “arguing” with someone who lived through the reality
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
I’m 100% certain Reddit also fully cooperating with them. They run CBP recruitment ads. Fuck them, fascist collaborators
they have palintir bots which they know about but wont do anything, plus russian propaganda is almost rarely get cleaned out when they do actual purges, which targets real users instead. they also now have israeli mods/bots to gatekeep criticism against israel. all the purges have target the lowest hanging fruits, irl users, than OF/link spamming the ones that are cutting into thier profits somehow.
To summarise: it’s all just bots nowadays. Reddit is complete junk now.
exactly! It’s as if the website is used to train bots. You can immediately tell if when you see the posts, yet they ban humans.
The first four years or so that I was on Reddit, I never once received a ban for anything. Since Trump was elected, I pretty much got temp bans every couple of months. Every one was from me being mean to obvious Russian trolls. And then this morning, I got permanently banned for a comment I made over a week ago, that according to Reddits own metrics, received a grand total of zero views. I called a fascist a, um, fascist, and that he wasn’t just licking boots, he was deep throating them. That was a step too far, according to Reddit. And now I’m here.
To be fair, Homeland Security still has a job to do and that is protecting the homeland.
Sure, sure.
The problem is with who gets to decide who ‘the homeland’ consists of.
Whose home?
These newsletters come out all the damn time and are relatively easy to get signed up for these Fusion Center briefs. You can generally apply if you have at least a remote level of need for them either through physical security, or cyber security.
They’re typically based on SAR (suspicious activity reporting), so they’re essentially briefs and generally tip guides about things that might be happening in your state or area. All those tips that you send via tips.fbi.com or similar tend to make their way to your local fusion center. They get marked down for relevant current political climate stuff from multiple agencies, typically include thwarted terrorist events or online calls for action, and will usually training available.
While most of the info in these newsletters are For Official Use Only, there’s a lot that might straight up be publicly available which can still be shared under the CUI Program. You just can’t share the entire document itself since it’s typically unclassified, but that doesn’t mean you can share it publicly. Parts of it maybe, it’ll tell you which parts you can. It’s similar to Traffic Light Protocol for any CISA stuff if you get those. TLP Clear is capable of being publicly released. Everything else has some sort of limitation.
Huffman is a dickhead.
Always remember now that he has fucking bots who will hand out banhammers against anyone talking about violence against specific persons.
I’m surprised anyone would be surprised by this
I’m surprised only because Reddit is so full of fucking nazi dickheads. Why would DHS spy on the people that lick their boots?
I’m defo never gonna be allowed into the US. Ever.
Good.
Means I’m less likely to get shot. Ever.
Still working on making my American GF Canadian.
I have two.
And am married.
Yeah, fuck reddit, fuck usa and fuck trump
Hopefully they never invade your country either
Wherever OP is, the U.S. is probably already there, in some capacity. You can say it’s not an invasion, but could you ever really make us leave?
As a Canadian who has served in the CAF, I will not hesitate to defend my country to American invaders.
These people will not be contained to the usa.
You have allies in the states. Don’t abandon them.
I have several allies. Most of them LGBTQ+. If shit goes down we’re getting them to apply for asylum here.
Imagine being Budget-Chicken-2425 and waking up one day to find out the entire world is reading your FBI domestic terrorist dossier.
That’s enough to radicalize a chicken.

Looks like his account is suspended now.
Ha, homeland security is back to it’s old tricks. Probably not just them now, but they were submitting lists of users and social media was finding other pretexts to violate/ban them. I’m pretty sure some of my previous accounts were on those lists.
As always, they got the support to do it by stressing these rw accounts denying vaccinations and elections and the like, and then the fascists in homeland security predictably went after the left with it primarily. Often going after things like parody accounts, allowed under the rules, for making fun of political leaders. It’s all dishonest. As per reporting in The Intercept at the time. The leak of information covered like twitter and FB and I forget, but I’ve no doubt it extends to other platforms, and other units than the one we learned about in homeland security, that is just the tip of the iceberg we can see above the reflection of that ocean of social media.
I am saying an agency gave lists of users to violate that included his, and that reddit found excuses to violate them, likely for unrelated reasons that are not even against the rules, they don’t have to try, so they don’t try, to enforce rules fairly. Which is why we need the fediverse to be constructed better to reach critical mass. We need clear rules and enforcements with appeals that end in jury trials of users for actions.
