Reddit is State Department agitprop. This leak is probably a tiny fraction of their operations on reddit.
It’s crazy how successful that platform is because nobody suspects it. Redditors all hate the other social media platforms. They cannot fathom that reddit is just as bad or worse.
But why is that. Is it the illusion of control. Because ostensibly its a user curated site. Because they think they have voting power. All of these things have proven to be completely false time and again. Yet the illusion of reddit persists.
Redditors all hate the other social media platforms.
What other examples of bullshit can you give us?
I’m guessing people soon will accidentally start falling out the windows in US too.
Boeing and openai are already at the forefront of warning against the pernicious mental health dangers of betraying stockholder value. It really eats at their soul, and they can’t live with themselves after. Guiffre too, suicided by hacked car accident, worst case we ever didn’t see anything.
Budget-Chicken-2425, 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.
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.
Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
If they really want to negate “reputational risk”, they should look closer at themselves. Alas, theyll never do that
You know, looking back getting banned for saying “fuck trump and Obama” was a blessing in disguise. I still miss my cheap knockoff watch sub though :(
All my email addresses are perma-banned for replying to right wingers. I had death threats, people questioning my sanity and calling me slurs. When I tried to respond with even an iota of the same energy - banned. On Reddit, the right wing is king.
reddit is run by nazis, for nazis.
on Reddit, the right wing is king.
Yup. Despite all their virtue signaling, they give miles more leeway to chuds. Funny enough, despite my decade plus on there arguing with right winged idiots, I never got a “KYS” message. But only two months on here some hexbear bitch popped my cherry because I had the audacity to claim Hasan Piker did in fact shock his dog for the crime of wanting to move out of frame.
The chuds stir the shit and create clicks for cash.
This is my second attempt at re-joining Lemmy after experiencing the same brother.
It sucks having to moderate yourself online so hard when you’re passionate, genuinely care and want to share the uncomfortable truths of the world, but the consequence of a 24/7 deluge of negativity when you have a life to live is just not worth it hey.
I’ve been a bit of a hermit online and offline since the pandemic, 2026 is my year to try to strategically begin getting back out there!
I believe in you homie. But sadly this is my form of social interaction cause I work hardware security in secure facilities, which means I vastly work alone. Well this and Uber, but the people getting Uber in my state, are usually not people I see eye to eye with politically. So I usually just talk food, or about my kitty Furryosa.
kys message?
You know there are worse things for a dog than a shock collar, getting killed in traffic, or shot by the neighbors, or hurting a neighbor’s dog, being amongst them. They learn pretty soon with the shock there are audio warnings so they aren’t getting shocked all the time.
There are worse things for a human than getting castrated, so come here a second and drop your pants.
This is some real talk! Like I’m a big supporter of gender affirming care and bathroom rights, but I’m two standard deviations to the right of the bell curve in terms of largeness and I got the super test gene.
I would happily give up a non insignificant amount of height, and donate ALL my test, if it meant I could have my younger back again.
Your gender doesn’t start or end at your genitalia.
Your thoughts on gender are irrelevant to this conversation. “There are worse things” isn’t an excuse to harm a sentient creature. There’s worse things than being stabbed in the eye. Are you volunteering to be stabbed in the eye?
What logic is this when all pets are netured and spayed lol and thats considered good

Found the Israeli.
My sibling in baphomet, watch the video. I’ll break it down for ya actually.
Dog moves, Hasan’s hand goes out of frame, the dog immediately yelps, and his immediate reaction is not of compassion and wondering why his dog just hollered in pain! It was him immediately insulting her!
I’m a big animal lover. And I think you are wrong!
Edit to add: I also think you’re a bad person.
Edit edit: I’m happy I pissed off some of you animal abuse supporters.
No you arent, hella dogs in your area getting put down right now at kill shelters, go save them all
I have saved and retrained dogs in my time at the ASPCA in Orlando, where I was a kennel coach.
Now what amount of energy have you put into being a positive influence in the world?
Or complain about the high profile dog of celebrity who mena so much to you and you have so much energy for
I don’t know anything about this person or this situation, but you’ve never had a dog die from traffic clearly. Hold your dying dog in your arms and then tell me how wrong the shock collar is that would’ve saved them from that fate.
You are dangerously [redacted.]
If only there was some way to prevent dogs from running into traffic other than delivering 12,000 volts to its neck
Just want to let you know. Since you’re pro animal abuse, I’m not reading anything you type. But the “[redacted]” ending caught my eye, and lets me know you are in fact a frightened [insulting word].
You let your emotions be tooled by the worst people in the world, in defiance of reason, as such I’m not reading this drivel.
You were banned from Reddit for saying that? I feel like I’ve said worse and somehow haven’t got one yet.
Yup, apparently I was “inciting violence”
Seeing the quality of your other posts I’m not inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Bruh, why you stalking me?
Real talk, are you taco butt plug?
Damn Reddit admins are fucking weird.
I find Lemmy’s not much different if not more aggressive 🤷♂️
Lemmy’s aren’t much better. Despite being pretty far left, I’m banned from the progressive politics sub for completely fabricated reasons. And for context, I often get into arguments with .ml & hexbear users, and aside from some random communities I’ve never interacted with, they haven’t banned me from much.
The role just attracted the wrong type of person.
I’m splitting hairs, but there’s no such thing as a lemmy admin. There are instance admins that can only moderate their own instances.
I meant community moderator. My bad for any confusion.
You got a permaban for saying fuck the president and obama? I said that all the time on there, the democratic cheerleaders get on my case but I’ve reason on my side, obama was a failure, biden was a failure, not fit for the moment, although at least obama could work a crowd biden was just embarrassing.
How many other violations had you gotten on that account before then? I always drop them after the 2nd one to prevent getting a permaban, but then quit for quite a while, first time a year and a half before I overcame my spite about being violated dishonestly for what I suspect was Israel related in fact but seized on unrelated posts not even against the rules.
Are we safe here on Lemmy?
No. That is just the nature of public social media. It comes down what you choose to share when it comes to risk, so the same amount as reddit.
But, userbases who behave more like old school forums are more likely to not share personal stuff like other social media such as facebook, Instagram, tiktok, etc which have drawn people who want to publicly catalog their personal lives.
For actual privacy that’s better left to encrypted private messaging like signal and so on. Social media isn’t the place to expect privacy.
Assume all contacts are hostile and practice good OPSEC.
Are we safe here on Lemmy?
Every other post here I’ve seen is low key promoting violent revolution. So I’d imagine there’s at least one FBI agent hanging around and writing reports.
Everything on Lemmy is public
Everything on the internet is public
Some things are more public than others. DMs are technically ‘on the internet’ as well, but they aren’t indexable by a search engine.
Federation and privacy don’t really go hand in hand
anyone using any public facing website to organize a protest almost deserves to fall in my eyes.
Why hasn’t everyone downloaded signal yet?
They can gauge this: Fuck ICE.
Is Homeland Security chasing bots? Because that’s the bottiest name I’ve ever seen. If so, please continue. 🍿
yes, and PALINTIR is active on reddit using propaganda bots, along side the russian and MOSSAD ones.
I don’t disbelieve it, do you recall where you read that?
I find it odd, but a lot of newer users on Reddit go with the default suggested username and those follow the
word-word-0000template.At the same time, it might be better for privacy to do that since it’s less likely that someone can track you across platforms if you use the generator built into each platform.
I think the current flow for Reddit account creation is they give you the auto generated username and you have to change it when you’re done creating the account. You don’t get to set it during creation. So because it’s an extra step I think some people don’t. (Though I may be misremembering. It’s been years since I used it.)
Its been a long time since you could build relationships with other users in places like Reddit. The usernames don’t matter anymore so you may as well just use randoms. Your just going to get banned and make a new one anyways.
it has been flooded with bots since '16, when russia got involved with reddit through propaganda. so people are quite suspicious around other users, accusing them bots.
How can lemmy avoid that fate, if it ever gets really popular?
Fair enough. Maybe I’m too old for the internet.
Maybe the internet truly is… No Country for Old Men…
I see it a lot, too. Reddit’s been around for 20 years, so all the good usernames are already taken.
thats how they mass-create bot accounts, just create a large number without carefully making one that reddit wont immediately ban you on.
I had a similar names. I didn’t care about “expressing myself” and didn’t want you link it to myself in any way, so every time I would just accept the random gibberish reddit suggests when creating a new account.
Like my current RailcarXxxx username. It was just suggested I think when creating my first Lemmy, and just reused it through instances
Yeah now I’m kind of worried about my pseudonym. This isn’t my first pseudonym mind you, and it won’t be the last, but this is the most “well known” around my internet friends.
Reddit suggested usernames are always dumb shit like that.
if you dont have a vpn set up and configured on your router what are you even doing
Absolutely. And remember to rotate your endpoint every once in a while
Good thing they don’t even know what Lemmy is.
Security by obscurity is not really a good strategy. Lemmy is small potatoes, sure. But that just means they can devote a small number of assets to effectively monitor it.
Gauge deez nuts, ICEatzgruppen
1st fucking amendment you fucking nazi scum
That username sounds like a bot pretending to be a person that loves knock-off KFC and them being anti-ICE is just the LLM misinterpreting their programmers’s desire of this personality to include liking warm sodas
It’s just one of reddit’s autogenerated usernames. It looks like another post in this thread talks a bit about it.
