Get ready for another Kent State massacre x1000

I do not believe reddit ever claimed not to.

Encountering enough u/deleted with [removed by reddit] would certainly lead people to believe that they are definitely capable of removing any trace of a user from the site

Just from a basic technical perspective it seems like it would be pretty easy to delete everything from any one particular originator

Doesn’t even seem to be a particularly difficult thing to do in general

Not entirely sure why theat seems so odd

What did I expect?

If a user did something so egregious that a sitewide ban for cause is warranted then it makes perfect sense that their content would be ejected as well

In my case I did absolutely nothing to warrant a sitewide ban. As a user of 10+ years I was well aware of the rules and conducted myself as such.

If they’re just randomly purgining users then it would make even more sense to remove their content as well as to not leave a lasting reminder of what they did

I was genuinely surprised to find my content still up and available since they can’t seem to even bother responding to my appeal request. Certainly made their action feel permanent

A lot of those neckbeard mods had been there from the start and are responsible for building the Reddit community from the beginning

It’s no longer a community, it’s just trash

Yeah, I heard that about the site and official app but having my 3rd party app Joey let me customize my feed and filter a lot of garbage out

It was working great all the way up until they shut it down

The site now is a joke, r/news and r/worldnews used to always be front and center on the frontpage. Now, it’s buried under a wall of noise

Reddit died when they killed 3rd party apps and removed mods who protested, but it has been on the decline for a long time since Spez decided that reddit has to be transformed into something that shits money for him

Edit: Insert obligatory “Fuck Spez” here

Authoritarians love to silence the opposition

It’s hit or miss based on location

I’m surprised that nowadays we have a choice of several in our small-ish midwestern town

No reason at all during the great purge following Trump’s inauguration

I was told that I had harassed a mod, but I hadn’t interacted with anyone

Seems to me that they just purged large numbers of users with anti-Trump content on their account

I was on reddit for nearly 10 years without issue, suddenly I was sitewide banned and every attempt at an appeal went completely unanswered

Yes. Spend money and stop interacting with reddit like yourself, forever.

…or, just let it go and move on with your life

For mobile:

Use a VPN (different from the one if currently using)

Get a new phone

Switch from Google to Apple or vice versa (all accounts)

Write and post in a different writing style

Visit very few of the same subs from previous accounts

Get a new ISP

The real challenge is to get government to quit using communication devices with backdoor access

Right when the guitar solo hits

Not anymore though. Right, Spez?

Idealism is out the window and he’s cracking that whip

Cool, now do Ukraine

Yeah, big subs had mods removed and replaced

so, the iPhone 17 gonna be the same again then

It was a bot that automatically banned you
