    what would be telling is if u/SPEZ gets ousted and most of us get unbanned when they purge out the AI mods.

    Yeah, I know, “wishful thinking…”

    To be able to shitpost like good ol’ days… sigh

        I’m not banned, I deleted my account 6 years ago.

          Same I don’t even browse it. Imma get a lot of shit for this but I use LLMs to do all the finding for me, noai duckduckgo when I want real search, and I won’t even click a Reddit link anymore. Useless. Haven’t missed it tbh. Was a waste of time anyways.

        A good chunk of us are here because of Reddit crashouts, and this was the most similar platform. I want my account back, but purely on principle at this point.

          I wear my account bans like a badge of honor. My only regret is not changing all my comments to say gibberish afterwards.

          A few of my accounts I was the end points for commonly googled questions.

          Zero fucks about lost accounts…there’s communities I miss engaging. That’s it.

          Niche communities are all that I miss from Reddit.

            my niche was the Minecraft subreddits, and that is sadly like 80% of the community right there. There’s a Instance here, but it’s like moving from NYC to East Bumfuck Long Island. (and don’t even get me started on the Hermitcraft Subreddit)

      Reddit is an AI training platform.

      IANAL but wouldn’t banning anonymous users effectively give reddit exclusive legal rights to the content posted?

        Depends on the quality of the content I suppose. I wouldn’t put it past them to try and make that argument.
