Most of the useful information reddit will ever generate is already there. More has been deleted than will be added from now on.

Sites should start banning Reddit in x-forwarded-for header.

Can't get 'reddit hugged' and the blowouts costs that come with that if you block reddit.

Reddit us a bought and paid for shill for the right now. It's a laughing stock now.

It really did shift pretty quickly there in the last few years. I got a permaban for saying it'd be great to be able to fly a drone around Russia from any remote spot in the world just to waste Russian soldier's ammunition (referred to as morons) when they try to shoot it down.

Russian bot or bootlicker reported it for violence, I appealed the temp ban and they doubled down with a permaban. This was in the "combat footage" sub - the fucking irony. Called it quits after that. Feels odd not using it at all after 15ish years of it being one of the most heavily used apps on my phone (rip RiF)

Yep. I had my "Elon is a shitty human" comment get me banned. I left forever that moment.

Oh, I just have to say, Big Brother is watching you!!!

I have already mentioned this, but I will do it here too -- Reddit now is a Orwellian Siciety lol. It's better to forget about this social network altogether and try to attract people from there here before they become completely sterilized zombies.

To our small group over in the corner, sure. Not to the vast majority of people yet, unfortunately.
