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.

    corpos are virulently, malignantly predatory and untrustworthy. remember when a music label got sued for literally installing malware on the computers anyone played their discs in?

    i suspect they’re doing some other shady shit to track you. wonder if it’ll still do that if you go to a public library and install it there.

    my job uses a vpn too, although i don’t know why; for some reason my reported dirtspace location as far as network stuff goes is like 300 miles away from me >.> but for some reason i ain’t blocked or banned despite an old account of mine catching a permanent suspension

    killing that account was kind of an impulsive act… and i have two other accounts that were both registered from drastically different places, and on different machines. so, i dunno, maybe these are all contributing factors to just not having any traceable meta-data that could establish a pattern sufficient for their automated systems.
