Reddit says the beloved site is used for some “bad behavior.”

    A this point if you use Reddit, you’ve earned whatever’s coming.

      Or whatever came… For me it was getting banned for commenting “Rothschilds” and nothing else, on a video news report Post about a majority Jewish city council voting to defund public schools in the majority black neighborhoods. At one point, the camera zoomed in on a nameplate of one of the city council members… Rothschilds.

      I saw it and posted a reply, seemingly without thinking… “Rothschilds”.

      In seconds I was banned, for hate speech

      I still use Reddit as it still provides a bunch of things the FV doesn’t at this time, but at the same time I welcome another wave of refugees when the evil empire pulls their next major boner.

      That said, I’m not sure we’re quite ready for them in terms of specific communities having healthy active readerships and active mods. Maybe they can help revive what’s become a load of dormant c/'s across the FV, I don’t know.

      That’s a weird take. If they fuck up old reddit much more I’ll just stop using reddit. Or I could stop using it preemptively. There’s nothing coming. It won’t affect me much.

        I deleted my account and 13 years of posts manually over a time and still have the Login cookie for the old account in the browser. You can still view old reddit with it. That said the content is so bad there it’s generally not worth it.
