Good. Hopefully, at least some of these people realize that Reddit is a lost cause, and that their only option is to migrate to other sites.
IMO reddit was heading this route ever since they got rid of Victoria Taylor in 2015. ( https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33787004 for those who don’t know)
Agreed. It was headed that way but most of us, including me, ignored the warning signs. I should’ve quit when they cancelled Reddit Gifts giving some lame bs reason. I should’ve quit when they launched new Reddit with all it’s ads and tracking crap. I should’ve quit when they started turning the site into more mainstream social media. But I still continued because I was mostly shielded from all that by third-party apps, and sticking to niche communities and staying away from r/all. But the API thing was the last straw for me, if there was any proof Spez was the next Zuckerberg, that was it, that was all the motivation I needed to quit.
My Reddit accounts usually got banned for one dumb reason or another anyhow. I’ll never forget my first and longest account getting the insta axe for saying everyone should punch Nazis.
My first ban was telling people to remember to get their butts checked for cancer on a post announcing the death of someone (who died from colon cancer).
We know Redditors don’t read articles, and I was trying to be helpful because that’s how people like Total biscuit died.
Was perma-banned for “harassment and bullying”.
I mean… You were literally advocating for violence.
