Enshittification seems inevitable what with it being based in the US and operated by someone who could just sell it or whatever. But I expect it’ll take at least a while longer before I’ll feel the need to bail on it like I did Twitter in 2022.
My Reddit account was permanently banned for saying I hope Nazi scum Elon Musk dies soon. Had previously caught temporary bans for saying things like “We should overthrow Musk into the sea.” in response to him having argued King Charles should overthrow the UK government. Reddit admins really don’t seem to like it when you’re righteously intolerant of evil scumfuck psychopaths who use their unearned power and influence to cause immeasurable harm to society, the world and its inhabitants. Things like that break Rule 1, threatening violence, they claim.
Although the permanent ban was only for a couple of days since I for once was successful in my appeal. I basically said death =/= violence. An obvious truth to anyone, except some Reddit admins apparently.
I’ve not really used Reddit since. Kind of lost my will to bother with a US based site that’s clearly and predictably going in a US direction, i.e. spiraling down the fascist sewage. Instead I’ve been drifting over to here. Will see what the moderation over here is like.
Ron Perlcat is amazing if real.
