    They keep permanently suspending ppl so theyll wind up here, almost like someone working there secretly wants the fediverse to do well and is shifting the population over by permanently banning them (I dont really believe this before ppl argue like im stating a fact)

      I now subscribe to this theory. Might dust off my old Reddit account and try to become a mod in my favorite subs so I can perma-ban all the top posters to jumpstart those communities in the fediverse…

        I got banned for, I don’t even remember what, it was something really minor. Got a new account using Brave, and have been shadowbanned. Absolutely non-functional site for me now. Banning people based on upvotes though, holy shit. To suppress posts that people actually like? That’s the whole point of going there for me: the garbage gets knocked to the bottom where no one has to see it. Not anymore

          reddit IDs people on thier browser fingerprint, among other metrics. if they see you hiding your fingerprint they will assume its botting and ban people regardless, (its not for all cases though).

        i heard its very hard to become a mod, or even make a subreddit. because of the purges.

      I am done with reddit. Not sure I understand this place but Reddit has been shit for a while, and is getting much worse by the second.
