MODERATORS
Better turn your back on them and never regret it
i'm starting to lol
You already have an account here, so you might as well delete your Reddit account. ππ It's quite liberating, IMO.
And while youβre at it, consider using shreddit to overwrite your content. That way, those suckers cannot sell your data to AI companies after you delete your account.
Reddit is dishonest with moderation. Kind of a dealbreaker, but they have the critical mass so it is a good resource for some stuff still. For getting help with niche things. Like brewing or making maple syrup.
I cannot well get past violations for things no reasonable person could say would be against the rules. Often after arguing with influence operatives on other subjects.
I am missing out on a lot of topics I'm interested in from Reddit as well, but for me it was worth leaving.
Yeah me too, worth it in spite. I am trying to quit all tech companies I feel gouged me, forced me to give up info unfaiely etc.
Like email locking me out without putting a phone on it, then periodically locking me out until verification. Amazon, facebook. Youtube. I never uaed them that much but fb I need marketplace, amazon I need for a few things.
Yeah, it's really hard for me to give up Facebook because everyone I know uses it, and with a family with two kids, there's a lot of shit we put out on the second-hand market using Marketplace.
But I'm really itching to eventually... Sometimes my friends will send me a link to some Facebook shit and I barely even want to open it in the DuckDuckGo browser where I'm not even logged in.
Same here on marketplace. If I lose that it will harm me, but if they choose the verification thing I will refuse. So I'm afraid they will spring that on me.
I envision political operatives sniffing out critics, giving lists to social media to hit with bullshit like this, if not cancellation of accounts. We need to quit.
Hear hear π£π
yup lol
