Yea, I lost my 15 year old account last year. Started a new one and it just wasn't the same. Left a few months ago for here, still not the same, but better then reddit.
There is something going on there and I suspect that there is a real effort underway to tie peoples identity to a reddit account. They want a real email or a phone number and if you are denying them this and protective of your data they are getting not a lot from you. They read your private messages and are basically data mining the hell out of everything. Culling long time members seems to be a thing and for specious or no real reason? I would like to think that me blocking all ads and blocking my IP and using an anonymous email annoyed them. I supported Palestine and reminded people about the death of Rachel Corrie so that probably helped. Karma was good 17,000 and 39000 post and comment so I have only two words for Reddit Admins..and they are See Ya!
reddit is pretty much in cahoots with GOOgle have you notice how closely they are entertwined. GOOGLE promotes reddit posts instantly to the top, no secret. plus reddit uses googles AI system i believe too, reddit allows google to scrape the site, also thier anti-botting system, captcha v3 is invisible bot checking system, which apparently triggers the v2, if it doesnt trust you.
reddit also recently made user history, hide-able, so you cant tell if someone is a bot by looking at a evidence of thier comment history.
I laugh at google. I dont use their email and I dont have a recovery phone number and I dont save my my watch history on youtube and I block every ad they try and send. Privacy Badger is pretty helpful.
