    Yeah, but now spez allows a full invasion -- and AI moderation dropping banhammers on "violent" users -- so that he would then sell off the data to anyone willing to pay him millions.

    Can confirm.

    One of my more ridiculous bans from reddit was "advocating violence" by joking about mosquitoes getting cancer.

    I have used Reddit for nearly 15 years, and never once received a ban/suspension, until this past year when I've received 3, all triggered by AI moderation.

    Not that I'm distraught over them, but it is annoying because I use Reddit specifically for niche sports communities that just don't exist on Lemmy.

    And even those communities are full of bots, so I can only imagine what the mainstream subreddits look like now.

    Best sort made reddit unusable for me. Opaque systems for no reason other than revenue makes me irrationally angry.

    Of my several hundred open Firefox tabs, /r/FreeGameFindings/new is the only Reddit tab remaining.

    What's a game on your list that you have been wanting (maybe a few years old, not new)?
