The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.

They’ve banned all of the good people that made up the site. I used to do Secret Santa. For 10 years! And I had mothers thank me for making their kids holidays. And they banned me. Because I made a death joke about how old McConnell was. Dude looks like death walking. Prove me wrong.

I was a good user. Dark humor isn’t hurting anyone. Reddit will die. Just like every other popular site.

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.

Thanks for the warning. Spaz buys tiktok and I delete it. Bout to already, honestly.
