Treat it as a blessing instead of a curse. I had like half a mil karma and was pretty pissed for a bit. But this place is better. Less traffic, but the higher quality is denser, once you nail down the curation of your feed.

    I had 660K karma when I was excommunicated (apparently by robots) from Reddit last week. It happened shortly after I said something (I can’t even remember what) critical and angry about the US bombing Iran. I don’t think it was anything particularly fiery or profane, even. I had no sense of “this is risky to post” when I wrote the comment.

    The ban explanation made no sense, it claimed that it was because of “repeated rule violations by your other account(s)” — I have no other accounts, I’ve had only the one Reddit account for 8 years. So the ban justification was bogus.

    I’m beginning to wonder if Spez has got a directive to deplatform all the anti-war, anti-Bibi, anti-Trump voices from Reddit. That’s seems paranoid, but it would make sense to kick out the higher-karma accounts with followers first. It’s hard for me to come up with any other explanation… I’m seriously puzzled and of course, I can’t go back to Reddit to discuss it!

    Spez for sure has got a pro-business agenda he's laying down. I noticed a distinct shift after the IPO dropped. Lots more "sanitized for your protection" squeeky clean, let's-not-offend-the-sponsors steps being taken. I miss ONE sub and that is for my hometown, but honestly the drama at times could be suffocating there, so it's a good thing.
