Hey redfugees! I’m a little OOTL… I know reddit has been going downhill for a while, but how has it suddenly nosedived? What triggered it? It’s bewildering, and they’re losing countless users.

    “Eat the rich” is specifically cited as a violent and violence encouraging statement, bannable.

    Upvotes of such statements will also be given bans.

        Someone posted their ban feedback around here somewhere, that’s how it read. Maybe we’ll get a link from someone more interested in keeping track of such things than I.

            No, but yes.

            Everything Reddit does these days is for the sake of the shareholders, advertisers, and Spez’s whims. They’re not intentionally trying to destroy Reddit the website as much as they’re trying to turn it into algorithmic social media slop that promotes doomscrolling and advertising revenue over community and genuine human interaction.

            Throw in a sprinkle of Spez aspiring to be Elon Musk’s left shoe, and you have absurd censorship designed to drive away dissenters and users who don’t conform with Reddit’s target audience.

            They have been for like a decade.

            Look at the two shit redesigns the did, the profile-centric accounts, the API blocking, the crypto currency stuff, and the the recent push to monetize reposted content.

            The admins clearly hate that people were still using the site lol

      And like nobody wants to actually eat the rich, they’d probably taste terrible.

      Consider that the rich would do anything rather than become a regular-ass person
