  • When they IP banned me, I just turned off wifi on my phone and created a new account with a separate browser. But looking back reddit was never worth it. We’re all very addicted to this toxic form of crowd sourced moderated information. I’m not really convinced Lemmy is better on a design level, the upvote system is identical and doesn’t prevent echo chambers. I guess there’s autonomy with instances, so that’s nice…




  • Could be related to them going public - people are scrutinizing their operations a bit more. Same reason the view count for subreddits suddenly went down by a factor of 10 post-IPO. They always have been, and always will be corrupt.

    But really, they’ve banned me in very insulting ways. I only keep an account around in case I really need to engage with a niche hobby subreddit, and it’s barely ever used. This company should understand what the consequences of burning bridges with a user base is.



  • I don’t see in this post where we learn how you interacted with the thread…? Reddit doesn’t ban for multiple accounts, they actually tolerate it but so little you have to make sure each account never even views anything the other account engaged with in any way. Reddit runs the site with zero-trust and is mostly getting the user base they deserve.










  • Many of the people that maintain X are the same people working on Wayland implementations. They’re pushing people towards the new thing because it makes their lives easier, and that’s also the nature of engineer driven product development, it’s not going to consider all the edge cases underserved from replacing legacy software because there’s nobody to keep them in check.

    Edit: Guess the thought police decided my factual information isn’t welcome here because it goes against their feefees.
