My little sub of 13, no rules and like 5 posts has been threatened.

They're totally grasping at straws.

Ordinary redditors are feeling the pain as well.

I'm happier here. I feel like I'm surrounded by intelligent people again. The reddit userbase had become hot garbage during the past 5 or so years.

Absolutely this. It got very homogenized. I joined reddit for the variety of people and their ability to understand topics I'd like to understand better. Then it all turned to bots and reposts. Then I would unsub from one subreddit and migrate to the new sub that was similar to the sub I just abandoned until the new sub became infested with bots and reposts, then rinse and repeat.

Does anyone know how I can scrub the comments on a suspended account?

I'm also going to have trouble avoiding my city's local subreddit. It's definitely a hub for everything going on here, and I've made some real life friends on there who I plan on keeping up with.

I've been trying to recover a Gmail account for years. Nothing I do will give me access.

I think it's largely more than an API change. It felt miserable before Spez made his choice. This most recent choice was the end of a long line of bad choices Spez made. And I absolutely don't care to see the trainwreck of that site after it's IPO.

Yeah, I seriously hope Spez's $10 million worth of greed compounds into losses greater than what he could have made on API calls if RiF and Apollo had bent the knee.

Absolutely this. It's been so pleasant to see proper grammar usage again.

📢Entire mod team on r/mildlyinteresting (and more subs) removed and locked out of their accounts after changing their rules upon community's request. (They're also switching subs BACK to SFW)

Same. It's like being over an ex. I don't have to care anymore.

Engagement algorithms were developed to keep people hooked, and Google analytics tracked everything. Privacy was gone for good.

The explosion of privacy data tracking algorithms have destroyed the modern internet.

I made my Lemmy account when Spez killed the Chapo sub. Now I'm glad it has more content.

Are you using something like IFTTT for that? I'd like to compartmentalize the local subreddits so I can stay up to date on news and events nearby, but I want to avoid the distraction that is reddit in general.
