I noticed something was weird when Lemmy wasn’t showing in the res-dashboard.

Looks like Elon Musk was allowed access to the control room. Steve Huffman swoons over fascists.

It’s about damage control.

right like the actual reason is obvious but what's the "official" / stated reason?

What a coincidence

SPEZ is in love with Musk, he allowed musk on 2 occaisions to trigger 2 massive purges(which got us to lemmy)

Boring answer: a sub having no mods is a typical reason why a sub gets banned.

That's not the answer. It states specifically when a sub is banned for having no mods. The message says it was banned for violating rules.

I'm guessing they found some trumped up reason to get rid of it.

I can never block reddit. My go-to workflow for buying any product is usually:

1. Perplexity / Claude: "what are some good recommendations for <productX>?"
2. Skim what it writes, mentally note that it's probably extrapolating from little data on <productX>
3. Scroll down to the sources, click on the Reddit ones.
4. Check that the date is somewhat reasonably in the past (+3yrs is always good)
5. Scroll to that one single comment that provides insightful feedback

This is why I never deleted my reddit accounts after I migrated -- I just couldn't throw away all of the hard written insightful comments I'd made there over ~15 years, and knew that an AI (and by extension future me) might find it beneficial.

(I'm not against AI, I'm against what capitalism is doing with AI)

Reddit seems to be in purge mode so that the AI doesn't develop too many problematic leftist opinions. I was looking back to an old post critizing CS Lewis and the comments were absolutely nuked since my last visit.

Time to open r/notlemmy

Does it have to try hard? Didn't leftist remove themselves from a lot of places and purge their own comments?

I’m not an anti AI zealot either, but frankly humans can skim search results and “link dive” way better than current LLMs can, if they’re familiar with the web.

Sometimes I use GLM 4.6's deep research mode with a link to go off as a supplement (I’d recommend that over Claude; it’s great! And open weights!), but 90% of the time just poking through Google/DDG with a filter to block SEO/AI spam yields better reviews. We can just parse more links and make better snap “credibility” judgements than LLMs can.

mine is r/nursing. there's just not a significant enough presence of any healthcare workers let alone nurses specifically for me to properly commiserate with. Every once in a while I get into a mood to post some memes or otherwise engage but I get a few likes and maybe one comment at most and wind up giving up after a few days.

I’m fairly certain linking Lemmy, even once, yields a shadow ban.

I cant even make a new Reddit account for anything, even from a relatively new IP after moving.

I don't think so. I see people on r/fediverse linking it.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

I assume they aren't even bothering anymore. Redditors have proven they'll put up with anything.

Listen, I respect the meme, but I'm not sure I want to say I'm on Team Space Fascist.
