I was banned countless times from reddit to where now registering to them through mobile, VPN even and normally for some reason (burner e-mails, creative with screen names), will give me a shadow-ban. The only way out now is to ask for a IP change or just move elsewhere, where I'll get a new ISP and new IP.
Reddit has been bred to have incredibly argumentative users, who shamelessly have wandered over to lemmy too as I've experienced. I have been subjected to numerous instances of people baiting, gas-lighting and have had orchestrated complaints against me just to have me banned so they can get their rocks off over it. It got really bad to where I couldn't even complain and vent about my job to the right subreddits where those posts would be warranted, without getting bombarded by asshole-by-design antagonistic users.
And to find that Reddit bathes itself in advertisements, bathes itself in censorship, bathes itself in its own form of political correctness (doesn't matter what view you have, it is entirely arbitrary) and bathes itself in getting involved with the stock market. That any redeemable quality Reddit had, has been pissed away and Spez is over there dancing merrily over it as he is a proclaimed billionaire. Getting enriched off the backs of those who've spent years of manhours having to bother maintaining "quality" of Reddit discussion.
And that wasn't enough so now Reddit came after the APIs as we all know and we all know how that wound up. Reddit Enhancement Suite, my favorite go-to plugin when I used to have bothered with Reddit, is no longer actively developed because of the API shit. So Spez can just fuck himself dry while gobbling his daddy Musk's cock.
