Even that is getting culled. Reddit recently nuked r/nsfw which is like the OG porn subreddit. Apparently the Reddit execs learned nothing from the demise of Tumblr.

New to Lemmy and this is me to a T. Reddit just banned my 11+ year old account for expressing my anger at the continued fascist attacks on my country (Canada). So fuck em, I'm not going to bend over backwards trying to make an alt account they won't flag, I'll be sad for the Reddit of bygone days but it's gone now, the new one is rotten to the core.
Yep, 11+ year Reddit user and I had never received a single ban save a few of those pre-emptive ones from overly zealous subreddits I'd never even interacted with. Then in the last 6 weeks I received escalating bans of 3 days, then 7, and just yesterday finally a permaban, without much change in my rhetoric. I've always been very hostile to fascists and conservatives on my account, and for 99% of my Reddit history that never got flagged at all. So fuck em, I'm not going to try and get back on, the Reddit of today is not the one I enjoyed using back in the 2010s.
