MODERATORS
I honestly don't know how anyone stays on Reddit very long. They permaban people for ANYTHING these days. They abdicated their site to psychopathic, power-tripping mods.
Just for context, Ghislane Maxwell was a Reddit mod.
It's not even worth lurking there. Every post is just five "original" comments, and then everything below those are people repeating the same five comments a hundred times.
That was a thing WAY before AI and bots tho...
Absolutely.
The new bots just add to the cacaphony of mindless comments.
Weaponized reposting. Posts and connents. That was a thing before AI too. Remember, who was it, maybe POTATO_IN_MY_ANUS, who looked up super old reposts and cut n pasted the top scoring comment from them..
Oy vey...
Puns, so many puns...
And their bans really stick. If you piss them off enough, they connect every account you've ever had, somehow, and the ones they miss, if you log in it's a matter of days before they catch on.
It's kind of impressive, actually.
I know. When I got permabanned after 12 years and a million Karma, I started using a new account, and lasted about 3 months. After that, they tracked me down faster and faster. The last one permabanned me in minutes before I could post my first message. They got my number now, and it's probably gotten even tighter with AI.
17 years, maybe 50 accounts, 1 major sub, tons of minor ones, sone of which I miss, fukn every time. You get psychotically drunk ONE TIME... And what do you get? Like we helped make that place for better or for worse.
lol
Fuckem.
I hear ya...
