At least they put it in writing. They suspended and deleted all of my 15 years of posts, comments and moderating without even a good by. Fuck Spez, and Fuck Reddit may they reap the whirlwind.

Can anyone tell me what the fuck an organic account and organic posting is? Is this the def?
Organic social media refers to unpaid content that individuals and brands share on social media to engage audiences without paid ads or direct selling.
And if so, wtf. I mean, I expected nothing less from the Reddit zionist cesspool, but still...
I found out today that they have removed r/all from the mobile platforms.
The one unifying feed... Heaven for it folk experience consensus media or have a shared experience.
By slicing it all up they can tweak individual algorithms to push more jank than ever. No longer do they have to game the system to get AstroTurfed Ads on the front page.
Actually, didn't they used to call themselves the "front page of the internet"? How does that work if no one sees the same page?
I think most people unsubscribe from r/all anyway and subscribe to subs related to their favorite hobbies and games and work related info. Most of my frontpage is for video games I'm currently playing, programs I'm currently using and odd fun subs like moviemistakes or maybemaybemaybe. I wish I could do that here.
And that's all cool... But it is weird to take that choice away from users.
Much like here, a quick browse of all introduces me to a wider world with different concerns. It's how I find stuff.
And I'm pretty sure what you do is possible here... What are you having a problem with?
I can't figure out how to unsub from the Lemmy version of r/all. So I'm getting latestagecapitalism, politics, politicalmemes, various communist instances. 80% of what's on my page is politics. I'm not interested in that.
What client are you using?
On Voyager there is a tab at the top to switch between all and "home". Home is just the subs you subscribe to.
I'm using the website. After what you said, I checked and it has Subscribed/Local/All at the top of the page. That's really nice. I just started using Lemmy so I haven't completely figured it out yet. I use old reddit, so it might be set up the same way as new reddit but I wouldn't have known.
Edit:
What are hidden posts?
You can set it to default to the Subscribed feed in your settings.
You can chose to hide posts.
That might be based on a keyword, for example, "Trump", or based on tages such as NSFW.
You can always chose to see these posts again.
Forgot fuckcars. Not a day goes by that I don't see it.
Reddit bad
Lemmy good
I don't know who this guy is, but the fact that he is crying on twitter about being shadow-banned on reddit tells me I don't really give a fuck about him, his opinion, or his perceived slights against him.
I care if reddit is dishonestly enforcing rules to force people to buy ads. That's good for us actually. If only we had more enlightened instances with more functionality.

So let me get this straight. Some jerk off looking to advertise his site by spamming links on several subs was hoping to AstroTurf COUGH I mean organically post... And Reddit Ad Team saw that and figured they could milk him for some dollars? So this doucher takes to Xhitter to try to get sympathy?
Ahh capitalism at its finest.
wut
Unless the article is absolutely lying, it mentioned the subreddits wanted the posts and couldn't overcome the sitewide ban (i.e. manually approving the content). Your comment is a really huge stretch there.

there are still people on reddit? thats a bot hell
Remember when users used to flood reddit subs to find support, real opinions, express dissatisfaction, criticize bad feature/products, and warn others?
Now, the people who complain get flooded by astroturfing bots run by marketing agencies to say they're holding it wrong, not important enough, doing something wrong while praising corporation overtaking governments.
Now that Google has partnered with reddit, they get to have many searches sending troves of people there expecting solutions or like minded people or community support.
So, yea there are still people.
First mistake: Staying on Reddit. Fuck Spez.
Second mistake: Complaining about Reddit on X. Fuck Musk.
Let's just hope this user stays away from substack next.

Wtf is organic posting.
Posting which doesn't use petroleum based fertilizer
Writing spam posts like "I'm really satisfied using this website, totallynotanad.com" or "try using Company XYZ, their service is really good"

an ad spend
When you're off the used car lot, 'spend' is still only a verb, and the word you wanted here is maybe 'purchase' or 'deal'.
'The spend', 'the ask', and other cheese should stay back with the pre-owned Pontiacs.
It's actually a proper term in current marketing parlance. You can find it in glossaries in AppsFlyer, Adjust, and any of dozens of other digital marketing applications.
Ad spend is the amount of money a marketing team spends on digital and traditional advertising campaigns.
In the OP this differentiates it from a fine or paid feature. They're are literally requiring them to buy advertising to allow them to post in an open forum.
It's corporate speak, imo.
I hate it too.
They also like to call everything "assets." Not a "picture" or an "image" or a "decoration" or a million other descriptive words. It's all "assets." When the corporates talk like that they are emphasizing ownership and profitabiliy. "Put that money-making thing we own there." "Lisa, which folder did you put that money-making thing we own in?"
🤢

Once I got banned like a thousand times within the span of 5 minutes because I reported a pro-Trump post as child abuse. I assume it really triggered some admin.
Ok but that’s fucking hilarious. Wish I’d thought of it first.
I wonder if this admin was named maxwellhill.

That's nothing. I was permabanned for inciting violence or whatever they claimed, which broke rule #1. My "violence" was calling AI stupid (more or less) wishing it'd go away. Ironically, the mod bot banned me.

Fuck you u/spez.
The bigger news here is that Reddit, as a policy, allows bot posting (organic posting) as long as you're buying ads from them.
