Lots of people have been banned, across all their accounts, with no recourse, and new accounts suffer the same fate
My fiancée lost over a third of her followers overnight, and asked a mod she knows what was happening.
She was told that anyone who had been banned, for any reason whatsoever was being indiscriminately purged, with device fingerprinting and other mechanisms used to keep them from finding a way back in
Apparently it has been happening in stages, so that’s why there are waves of mass-bans
Reddit seems determined to cut themselves off at the knees, so here’s hoping that Digg and Lemmy can shine and learn from the mistakes of Reddit
i just gave up after being:
it’s all VC crap now anyways, and huffman is a little bitch. go over there now and check out /r/popular or /r/all and it’s all bot reposts, bot comments, ai slop, and fucking “what movie/film/timeyoutookashit reminds you of this?” posts. they’re absolutely no good for any news any more, whether it’s media/grassroots/groundlevel/societal.
i don’t understand how they think they’ll gain value when their goal appears to be to strip any and all of what provided any value in the first place: unfiltered human contribution and interaction.
fuck reddit
