(Mildly NSFW) Welp, I guess that's it. The single photo that got my ~10-year-old, 60k+ karma Reddit account "permanently suspended."
They permanently banned my 9yo account with 2 million karma for using the "boxes of Liberty" metaphor in a highly up voted comment about Republicans taking away access to voting. They said it was a threat of violence. š Meanwhile fascists make literal death threats in conservative subs with no consequences.
The site has systematically been banning high volume contributors who aren't right wing enough for at least the last 3 months. They, like Twitter, are trying to suppress the voices of people who are against fascism. It is deliberate and planned.
They gave my twelve-year account a three week ban for reporting bots.
āReport abuseā for reporting comment stealing bots, as we were told to do! Insaneā¦ unless you want plenty of active bots.
I got the exact same treatment for "report abuse" for reporting a comment copying bot. Like, ok. If you want Reddit to be nothing but spam bots parroting each other, have at it
Not to be conspiratorial, but this is an aspect I've pondered that hasn't gotten much discussion: given spez's fanboy emulation of Musk, we could see Reddit become a lot more right-wing as those voices are the ones allowed to continue, like-minded mods are put in place, etc...which means those folks gain yet another messaging platform. It's not great.
The principals of capitalism align with their interests and perhaps their swing that direction could be seem as a defense mechanism against their better nature and any sort of guilt associated with their, what i consider, morally corupt actions.
They will. These people are trying to break up our means of communications. Thatās why itās important we get the word out about alternatives.
The admins have been favoring the fash since forever.
What's more, they'll ban any other account you make, if they can associate it with you (mainly IP but who knows what else).

That was among the AI prompts used. :)
They couldn't handle perfection š¤
I'm not gay, but... Ok, I'm gay now..
It's beautiful
This is a work of beauty. True art and the best way to leave Reddit.
And such a beautiful way to go too.
Is this AI generated? Lmao this is amazing. Also Reddit admins suspended your account for this? That is overstepping A LOT. I think you deserve a Sexy John Oliver reward or something
Thats hilarious, well done!
I'm OOTL, what's the joke here?
Lots of subreddits are being forced / threatened to open back up so that Spez can fix his IPO valuation and stop these mean mean moderators from hurting his feelings
Some subreddits are opening up and changing their rules so that only specific exact content is being allowed. For example the r/steam subreddit for the steam gaming platform is now discussing literal steam, the idea being that the subreddit is open but it's either a joke or crap content
It's a good enough solution, opening these things in name only and forcefully moderating thing to ensure the conversation and engagement is boring, there's not much else mods can do when admins are being a bunch of dicks.
Went out with a bang. Absolutely worth it. I had to delete my account myself, what a hassle.
