    Reddit is dishonest with moderation. Kind of a dealbreaker, but they have the critical mass so it is a good resource for some stuff still. For getting help with niche things. Like brewing or making maple syrup.

    I cannot well get past violations for things no reasonable person could say would be against the rules. Often after arguing with influence operatives on other subjects.

      I am missing out on a lot of topics I’m interested in from Reddit as well, but for me it was worth leaving.

        Yeah me too, worth it in spite. I am trying to quit all tech companies I feel gouged me, forced me to give up info unfaiely etc.

        Like email locking me out without putting a phone on it, then periodically locking me out until verification. Amazon, facebook. Youtube. I never uaed them that much but fb I need marketplace, amazon I need for a few things.

          Yeah, it’s really hard for me to give up Facebook because everyone I know uses it, and with a family with two kids, there’s a lot of shit we put out on the second-hand market using Marketplace.

          But I’m really itching to eventually… Sometimes my friends will send me a link to some Facebook shit and I barely even want to open it in the DuckDuckGo browser where I’m not even logged in.

            Same here on marketplace. If I lose that it will harm me, but if they choose the verification thing I will refuse. So I’m afraid they will spring that on me.

            I envision political operatives sniffing out critics, giving lists to social media to hit with bullshit like this, if not cancellation of accounts. We need to quit.
