Blocking search engines, blocking the Internet Archive, signing $60M+ deals to Google and OpenAI to train AI on, plus the massive pitfall of centralization in the first place... It's time for us to...

A somewhat sensationalist video. But a lot of good points are made. Preaching to the choir here…but I thought you would all like it.

    It is rather terrible, I am grieving a little bit but it is what it is, life is unjust like that a lot of times and I refuse to let power starved mods ruin my days.

      I’m waiting until my temp ban should’ve been lifted on my og account and then try and use my older account on my laptop only (whilst appealing for my shadowbanned account)… I’m so upset with myself, why did I delete my reddit account and put myself through all this trouble? Look at it, it was so beautiful :(

        It’s not worth it, they will ban your other accounts. I had all 3 of mine permabanned even using a VPN. One had 110k karma, one had 30k karma, and the other had 26k karma. Reddit accounts don’t matter and reddit doesn’t matter. It’s a search engine tool now and nothing else.

          Thing is, my (now deleted) accs that I made after thr suspension only vot banned once I interscted with posts. My old acc I haven’t touched anything in (even been joining my old subs and I haven’t been flagged) so it’s definitely related to reddit thinking I’m ban evading my og suspension. Once the 1 week is up on the 7th, I’ll try using it and tell u if reddit did indeed shadowban that acc too www

          Holy shit tho, that’s a LOT of karma… how old were those accs jesus christ ??? “It’s a search engine tool” yet it’s the only place i can have deep conversations w others within my fsndom without twitters toxicity or tiktok’s dumbassery and brainrot… lemmy’s chill but I felt a lot more comfortable within reddit’s fandom spaces … (jesus christ I need to figure out how to make a sub on here)

          Edit: og account’s suspension just ended, created a new acc with thr email that was linked to that one on my phone, I upvoted some posts and I’ll tell u if it’s gone by the morning
