Not very diverse (read "useful") training material if they ban everybody expressing a POV that the asshole troll mods don't like.

OSHA compliance with nsfw materials.

Years ago, I had a work account that answered troubleshooting questions in the company subreddit. It was actually pretty great for that, because active users could get their answers quickly, but also the answers were preserved for future users. Our corpirate site had a community page, but it didn't have 0.01% of the daily views the subreddit had.

I left that job years ago, though, and I don't think the sub is as active as it was.

i assumed work account , as advertising on the site. some non-propaganda spammer will do this, but they use other ways evasion.

Work account for recruitment, we used reddit to recruit people, seems odd I know, but you can get some decent nerds from those programming subs 😂

Yeah, you're right, when you've been there for so many iconic moments of it, the cumbox, the gobstopper, the coconut, Mr Oglolblo (I can't believe I can still spell that) It's been a huge part of growing up I guess, but yeah, my doomscrolling has improved massively, the quality of content here is better. I just need to make the leap and delete reddit for good.

I said snitches get stitches in regards to someone burning a Tesla dealership and the news asking for tips.

Inciting violence.

Oi mate I heard you posted hurty wordy on the internet

That would be possible if your were living in the UK...ain't that right bois?

My 13 year old account with 250,000 comment karma was instant permabanned for saying "it's ok to punch a nazi".

That's when I stopped caring about Reddit and just kept creating new accounts to say whatever the fuck I wanted.

I still haven't gotten banned for saying Kirk got what he deserved. They just deleted that comment. But I edited another comment repeating my original comment, and that's stayed up. /shrug

Nope. They banned all my accounts. Even ones I never post with.

Thing is. I moved recently and got a new computer.

Never even accessed these 3 alternatives on my current PC or IP to link them to the banned one.

But they had been used on same PC and IP like 5 years ago.

So that means they keep that info. Also my alt accounts were only banned a few months ago but my main one was banned 1 year ago.

I just happened to try to use an alt a few months ago and found it was also now banned and so were 2 others I haven't used in about 5 years.

I recently got perma banned from a community I'm very passionate about. No warning, perma ban for something that imo is not that controversial (I called a politician a spineless fuck) when I attempted to contest it, the mods muted me. Fuck reddit.

I had an account for over 10 years and also left. I left over the recent issues with Discord as well as Reddit, Meta, and Google. I figured it was time to get off of them, honestly they did OP a favor.

I find fewer and fewer reasons to go to it. I mute many of the annoying subs from my feed. I avoid the ones that are just echo chambers. This leaves a pretty small list and they are getting very repetative.

If they can track you to this extent, imagine what they do with data you do not know they have. Reddit is an AI bot cesspool now. A good portion of content there are not real

This one. You’ll miss things but overall you’ll feel cleaner.

Agreed. Yesterday I finally got around to deleting my three Reddit accounts that were 9-10 years old (hadn't used them in a couple years). First I made sure to overwrite most of my comments with gibberish. Reddit is basically Facebook now.

The only thing I miss Reddit for are the Guitar forums. It was a really great place to interact with great guitarists, advise and support young players, show off your instruments, etc. Very supportive and informative, and I miss it.

15 years isn't the issue, it's only since January 2025 that there has been an issue. Reddit is OFFICIALLY a mouthpiece for MAGA and the Conservative Propaganda Machine.

Na, apparently they do have the ability to track who and where you make accounts.

I've similarly made efforts to discuss and condemn the brutal genocide in Gaza on reddit and found myself with a perma-ban.

I'm only going to hazard a guess, but somehow reddit knows which devices your accounts have previously been logged in on, and will automatically ban your new account after 1 day.

I've tried using VPNs, virtualized desktops, different devices, made accounts on devices that I have never logged in on, but then when I use the new account on my regular device, it gets banned.

Spez got a taste of that good Israeli money and now outright bans users for questioning or criticizing the Zionist machine. Welcome to the weaponization of the greatest tool humanity ever created - the Internet.

Your secret sauce is you probably live in a country where your ISP does not snitch on you.

Redefining political violence has been a tactic of authoritarianism for many decades. It starts with only ever pointing out one kind of political violence (ie, the right does violence, the left does violence in response, only the left's violence is covered). Then comes treating lesser violence from one side as a greater form of violence (ie, the right is using grenades, the left is using boxing gloves). Finally comes what you experienced, the elimination of freedom of expression on the grounds that speech leads to violence, even if what you're calling for is just a slightly weird form of propaganda to invoke thought rather than any kind of violence.

I say all this in the hopes that someone on a different part of the scale somewhere can recognize the signs early enough to do something

pigboy steve is a fascist

You have to be careful with that account 'cause they continue to fingerprint you based on your account activity -subbbing/unsubbing- the less people using reddit, the faster it will die a natural death....like myspace.

These "people" are wagging a war against humanity! They don't want you helping anyone! They decided they want something they can always control and tune to their needs, fake people, in a fake world.

It's either us or them! Reddit must FALL!

It's very hard on a device you actually use. They cross reference cookies from multiple ad networks and affiliates, they fingerprint your unique interests, your devices, it's actually fairly impressive. I've gone to some lengths and still gotten new accounts suspended after weeks or months. The people who run bots are using clean VMs to do it, everything totally fresh and unconnected.
