I’m a lurker. I don’t post on facebook or reddit or anywhere. Today I randomly got a message from reddit that my account was permanently banned for apparent repeated violations of their site wide rules. I have the ReVanced app on my phone that blocks ads on reddit just so those scumbags can’t profit off me lurking, but it’s the only reason I could fathom that is why I’ve been banned. Anyway I just wanted to vent so thanks for reading this if you did. Reddit fucking sucks.
For real, the userbase on Reddit was declining in quality for quite a long time, and that decline sharply increased (imo) after the Sacking of the API - largely because TONS of power users, especially in highly technical subs, were like “nah fuck this” and left (and, you know, stopped developing moderation tooling because Reddit effectively blocked non-tech-savvy users from using said tools with the API pricing change).
