Reddit embracing all out enshittification

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I think it’s harder to post to Reddit as a human being than it is as a bot. You have to read like six paragraphs of text (which doesn’t show up on old Reddit) to make sure that your post is formatted correctly, and then a mod will look through your comment history and ban you because they read everything you’ve ever posted and discovered that you own a car or something.
That was one of the things that kept pissing me off about Reddit when I was there, the arcane rules and requirements for posting on some of the subs. "Sorry I didn't read your subreddit's manifesto, I thought I had a quick post that was relevant to r/stinkybuttholes, my bad I didn't realize that I wasn't using the minimum amount of flair in my post." I just started blocking communities like that, rather than continue to see their posts anymore.
Power-tripping mods are the bane of the modern internet.
