Yeah, I made a comment about the decline of reddit here on lemmy and that day I was permabanned. You can see it’s the first comment I made here. I had previously run into some other problems and literally all of my alt accounts had already been banned, and I couldn’t make any new accounts. I was pretty outspoken and always ready to have confrontational conversations about fascists and racists, which I guess I was too volatile about. I was also very active on vaporents, which also seems somehow connected to all this as it seems problematic for the IPO. All of this is why I was already pretty miffed at the shithole it was becoming. I think I’ve been pretty anti-reddit for a while, and I guess I was on “thin ice”. Another funny thing is I had also just been interviewed for a small article on boredpanda about the animalsbeingderps subreddit as its creator, and very soon afterwards the other mods over at animalsbeingderps sort of pushed me out at reddit admins’ request to demod mods who don’t mod enough (which was honestly fine as I wasn’t much of a moderator). I had my mod privileges taken away and was relegated to “Alumni” status. My main interaction with the site, other than commenting and posting, was that I would start a sub based on a silly/less silly idea, and then make a ton of posts to kick-start them, then if they grew a bit popular I handed them over to other mod wannabes as I moved on. Anyway, good to finally vomit all this out somewhere.

Edit: Grammar and clarity.
