Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the "unmoderated" communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

Read 'liked to participate' as mostly lurked in their spaces. I shouldn't have to change accounts to look over the fence. Especially if it's because you're being a lazy mod. I know my comment history. I said something like "I'm so sorry" once and that got be banned.
I shouldn't have to justify myself when I didn't break a communities rules and a community shouldn't have the right to police my content consumption when it doesn't impact that community.
There are a lot bigger things that we had to deal with daily, and there are lot bigger problems with the platforms, communities, and broader social impacts that remained on my mind than the small percentage of people inconvenienced by the decisions some people made to keep their mod teams from being overworked. You're not the only one butthurt by the bot, but the alternative was worse so I still don't really care.
