Reddit seems oddly quiet these last few days. Its kinda eerie. Posts that would normally generate a ton of comments just have 2 or 3 comments. It feels a bit like a calm before the storm.
Anyone know whats up?

Not positive, but I came to Lemmy today (would’ve came sooner had I known about it) because I was IP banned from Reddit overnight for agreeing that Jimmy Kimmel’s show shouldn’t have been canceled in a random comment.
Not here to make any political statements, just mentioning it because it seems like Reddit is on a banning spree and getting rid of anyone with opinions lol
Listen, I dunno about your instance rules or whatever but on Lemmy we make a lot of political comments. Mostly left-leaning mind you; but because it’s one of the few places where you still actually can on the Internet.
Welcome!
Everyone I know, including myself has been banned and they will not allow new accounts, and many subs refuse to allow posts from accounts with no posting history, which means no new users.
All I can guess is that they paid for some awesome AI moderation.
Auto-Moderation can be configured wrong.
They banned all the legit users, so now it’s just bots.
Probably because Reddit is busy censoring and deleting everyone’s posts. I had the number-one comment on a thread with hundreds of likes, and they deleted my account just because I was talking about the evil of Netanyahu (which was relevant to the post). Short answer: I believe they are ramping up censorship.
