I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.
Been on Reddit since the Digg debacle (2008 ? 2009 ?).
For me, it was the non stop posting about Musk-Trump-West-Rogan-Peterson-Shapiro-Kardashian that drove me insane and limited my Reddit use to only the subreddits I followed.
So I thank Spez for his decision to ditch third-party apps because it got me out of the septic tank that Reddit has become.
I was rounding out either year 12 or 13 on my account and got banned for ban evading. I made sure to double check on the actual rules before creating another account-- all they really said was to not comment where you were banned. Okay fine.
STILL got hit, despite never interacting with the sub that banned me after banning aside from saying ‘…why?’
“PlEaSe ReSpEcT mOdS sAyInG tHeY dOnT wAnT tO tAlK tO yOu.”
Look here, reddit-- I gladly will. But it is fucking dumb to get banned and then permabanned for asking why you were banned in the first place.
Fuck uspez
Maybe people should realise that they, too, have a life, just like Musk-Trump-West-Rogan-Peterson-Shapiro-Kardashians.
