    There’s still one protest possible.

    LEAVE REDDIT!!! GET THE FUCK OFF OF IT! LET IT DIE. MAKE IT DIE!

    Same with twitter.

    I’m sure there will be ways around it. Mods can automod-delete every comment, change the rules of the sub to only allow posts of nonsense, or nit moderate at all.

    The main problem is that protests don’t succeed at reddit because people like moderating for free for some reason. Strangely Reddit has more leverage over mods than mods have over reddit.

      People still use AOL internet. I expect Reddit and twitter to die sometime in the 2050s.

        Digg still exists. Death of websites is rarely a complete shutter, but usually more of a steady decline into obscurity

    I’m not surprised. I’m on this site because I’m sick of being banned on reddit for thinking wrong.

      Bruh, at least you just got banned “for” something. I got shadowbanned, and for seemingly no reason at all! I made some very neutral comments in fandom subreddits, and only when I looked at the pages logged out, I realized the comments were not showing up. I can only guess it was either my location, my custom domain email, or a combination of both.

        I had that happen too. Conversations with people would just dissapear. I’m done there. I can’t say anything even slightly edgy without getting banned. I got banned from a sub for saying mods will kill reddit. I got a permanent hate speech ban for a fantastic joke.

        “I can’t show you the evidence of Haitians eating pets. They already ate all the evidence.”

        I like the reddit form of consuming information but that place you either get in line or get silenced. The equivalent of r/politics is far left on here too so that might be a bad sign for this site though lol.
