reddit says he wasn't banned but temporarily restricted during a password reset requirement, which showed him as banned due to a reddit bug
that bug has been ongoing since last year, it resulted in a ton of bans. one of my last accounts during the purge has the "password request" the first time he freed up my account from "ban" and then a 2nd time it shadowbanned me. something tells me its somewhat intentional to cull the numbers on reddit.
How does that biowaste bin fire still have users who can read and write?
Because there are still a lot of content creators, especially in the technology field.If the process of sharing code and projects and receiving feedback took place on another platform, nobody would use Reddit.That's my only reason.
The other night I was watching John Stewart and he made an interesting comment. He said that reddit only recently became usable because it was too gross before. Insane especially from him
reddit got worst with all the AI/botting spamming, and reddit banning people, why does he think it got better ?
That whole API shitshow didn’t help…
Jon liked the censorship.
probably has due with being critical of israel no doubt, i notice he acted very strangely when people started to critcized israel.
whoever has the most users has most of the users. until they decide they don't have any users, they will continue to have this true statement be correct constantly
Your pictures are welcome here, Paul!
It's funny how a lot of the complaints I'm reading here are about how Reddit is unfriendly toward left-leaning people but all the right wing people complain about how Reddit is a cesspool of liberal propaganda.
It just goes to show that the platform plays both sides just to promote hate and anger.
I visited after I got banned and the default posts that show up without logging in (therefore uncurated) were all so irritating that I had to assume they were all ragebait.
yea just like other social media platforms, they allow astroturfing thats why its both sides getting triggered.
It's because the platform is full of people who can't handle someone not agreeing with them, so anyone who says they're wrong is immediately labelled as the enemy.
Worse, they allow these same people into power while the real owners of the site make money out of the inhumanoids overrunning the whole system.
Reddit is hostile towards left-leaning people, and it is also a cesspool of liberal propaganda. Liberals fucking hate leftists, even more than they hate fascists, because liberalism is fundamentally pro-capitalism. That's why the mainstream media is currently crashing out about people like Hasan Piker, who actually represent a growing base of support for socialism, and they run every possible smear they can.
