    People don’t join Reddit to partake in things politically. The real attraction is how numerous that there are of communities anyone can join, that covers just about nearly anything anyone has ever thought of. It’s almost endless. There’s a community for someone out there and there’s interaction in them.

    The problem was when people got fucking politics into their god damn heads way too damn much that they practically ruined everything for everyone everywhere. And I find it ironic that you call it a right wing propaganda machine when the last time I was there, there were volumes of these right-wingers complaining up and down how Reddit was left-wing.

    But that’s just an example too of how damn contagious all of these fucking politics has gotten everything.

    Yeah I know any and all accounts I’ll ever make on Reddit will immediately be shadow-banned. The old trick of making a new account through your usual email, going on AskReddit, get a few karma points to be in the clear and be on your way is no longer working.

    I’ve been on Reddit for 10-ish years so I’m pretty sure they’ve long caught on to all behavior patterns. It is ridiculous how much shit gets allowed while you feel like you’re the one targeted and banned for being the one playing by what rules there are, as fucking loose as they are.

    I can appeal as many times as I want but I’m never getting a response back, because they know they have me by the IP and that’s essentially all that they’ll ever need. They see me make an account through my IP and it’s like “ohp, there they are again…BAN!” kind of deal. I’ve undergone a complete PC reinstall of Windows to erase all and any of those evercookies they’ve been practicing to keep those who try ban evading away, still the same thing.

    Doesn’t matter what e-mail service I use, same thing. Could have gone VPN but I think that didn’t work either at one point.

    It has just simply gotten ridiculous. And with Spez there, the shitstain, being a proclaimed billionaire now off the backs of everyone expendable, why should he give a single shit about retooling anything? He’s done away with APIs that were useful, that was the beginning of the end there if there wasn’t before.

    I know someone mentioned a method in the comments here as to how to circumvent everything, maybe I’ll try that, I guess. Yeah I should be the change and whatnot for the Fediverse but we’re 2 years into the matter and I’m not seeing any substantial progression. I see hundreds of potential magazines just float around, dead. While there’s like 20 Technology ones, 30 Games ones, 25 more Tech-related ones .etc .etc that make me roll my eyes because it only tells me where the real priorities are.

    When the Fediverse should be so much more than that, because Reddit still outclasses it by how many niche and relatively active microcommunities that there is.

    There’s a saying that goes about leading a horse to water but can’t force it to drink, something along those lines.

    You could go through so much effort to water down the language to make it easily digesting for them to read, but then they’d cry about how dumb you’re making them look.

    You could try to improve that by using words to better explain, but then they’d just harp on you for using words they don’t understand.

    You can jot down a multi-paragraph explanation about such and such, but then they’d whine and bitch about how long it was for them to read.

    It’s just, you can’t win with stupid. Willingly stupid, at that.
