Yeah like everyone else here… Venting about how shitty Reddit is. In the last 2 years I’ve been getting 7-day bans every few months for the dumbest things. Seriously ridiculous how relatively unoffensive my comments are. Half of which were bot bans. This last time I decided to use my alt account during a ban and got my main account permanently banned. Submitted an appeal but I don’t have high hopes and even if they lift it, fuck them. Not to mention individual sub bans for simply joining other subs or having a link to my OnlyFans on my profile. I’ve had enough.

I had a reddit alt that disappeared for what seemed like 2 years, then all of a sudden I was able to find it and access it again. 🤔 I stopped posting over there around the time of the API blackout and now I have a whole process of sites I go through before I cave and check if something is on reddit.

    Depends on what it is.

    For phone/PC/media stuff I check if Gamer's Nexus, Louis Rossman, or Rtings has covered them in the past as they are a few of the channels that don't just read press release copy while gargling corporate. Sites like XDA forums can also be a good resource.

    For non-tech products, I still like Consumer Reports, but they are clueless tech-ignorant boomers when it comes to anything electronic.

    Kagi, which is a bit controversial as it's not FOSS and charges for search does a decent job unearthing comments by actual people using the fediverse or forum lenses.
