Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

Reddit will ban you for even the mildest of takes. Their AI admin is draconian in metering out bans. The platform seems to really want to get rid of all of the pesky humans still there and just be a safe space for bots.

I was joking with a commenter, they said something like "oh, my mistake. Please don't kill me" and I replied "haha too late, I'm already coming at you with scissors!" and I got a suspension for threatening someone.

Weird how my reddit use went down by 99% after that. I still have the account, I keep thinking maybe I'll need it to ask a question or something... Probably wont. Might as well go delete it now lol

Yeah I miss asking super niche questions on certain subs, because there's usually enough users to have a prompt reply.

But fediverse is growing, slowly. Sadly best way to keep growing it is to stay and promote it on Reddit, everyone who's fed up for the same reasons we are are ripe for the plucking.

Comes with a bunch of idiots, of course, myself included so YMMV.

I promoted it on Digg. 😜

And the circle... Completes...

Or is it a spiral? I forget.
