I know Reddit now has a stupid rule or policy about new accounts posting or commenting. They punish new users for just trying to have a conversation. Why does Reddit hate privacy? Is it just in the system trying to filter out bots? Well, it is doing a shitty job since bots are still a high percentage there. Reddit banned me, even when I was on the new user friendly subs. I tried with multiple locations with a VPN too. This has to make people go to other platforms. Like I did, I moved here.

    Also I use temp emails. That could also be why. Wow, can people actually be private online now? I am scared for the future. Have you ever seen that movie “The Enemy Of The State” (1998)?

        So, there is no use in even trying Reddit anymore. Imagine how Edward Snowden feels. Always scared of getting his exact location found out. Thanks for the info.

          I take it a sufficiently determined individual can bypass enough of redoit’s BS to get in.

          You should choose wisely how to allocate your energies.

          In this case, do you really want to lend your energy to an outfit that so actively disrespects your preferences? Think about what you are encouraging in your own world.

          Even if you could get back on there, is it a good thing FOR You in the long run? Of course you could scratch the itch, but do you lose more than you gain over the long term?

          Beyond just the personal energy budgeting, it also seems like we want a tech solution to a political problem. If we are to have a true tech public square, it seems very wrong to allow an unelected and unaccountable entity to own that square. So under no circumstance should you be banned from any public speech forum simply for speech (save maybe for making credible and actionable bodily threats). That’s a political guarantee that has to be enforced by a democratically accountable government. No single company can own and make admin decisions for the digital public square. That’s a political demand. Obviously that’s not how thing work today. But this may give you some ideas of what you may want to push for so that in the future you can avoid what happened to you recently.
