I was a 12 year member with nearly a million karma. I was permabannef right after the inauguration, for repeating an anti-HitlerPig opinion I'd repeating numerous times before he was elected.
I came to Lemmy and found out I wasnt alone, i was part of a bloodbath. I've seen posts from many people with 10+ year accounts who were banned. We're the people who built that site, and made it what it was. Somehow we managed to be active for over a decade without a problem, but suddenly we all became violators in the same month, and need to be banned.
Now we find out Spaz wants to buy TikTok, AND The MuskRat threatened him. No doubt the threat was that if he had a prayer of being awarded the privilege of buying TikTok, he was going to have to obey, and violate Reddit's foundational free speech mission. The classic Reddit is dead.
He didn't need musk threatening him. He was already killing Reddit with his whole "we want to float it on the stock market so we'd better get rid of all of the good content" fixation.
And frankly he was a shit stain even before that, remember how hard it was to get them to ban CP subs?
Thanks for the warning. Spaz buys tiktok and I delete it. Bout to already, honestly.
I created throw away and many main acts in case one gets banned, I usually avoid the permansub bans with new acts, until much later. So I'm also hearing that reddit links your accounts with strangers, if they get banned all your accounts get banned (( if you commented on any of the subs that the stranger was on)
