Went out with a bang. Absolutely worth it. I had to delete my account myself, what a hassle.
They permanently banned my 9yo account with 2 million karma for using the "boxes of Liberty" metaphor in a highly up voted comment about Republicans taking away access to voting. They said it was a threat of violence. 🙄 Meanwhile fascists make literal death threats in conservative subs with no consequences.
The site has systematically been banning high volume contributors who aren't right wing enough for at least the last 3 months. They, like Twitter, are trying to suppress the voices of people who are against fascism. It is deliberate and planned.
Not to be conspiratorial, but this is an aspect I've pondered that hasn't gotten much discussion: given spez's fanboy emulation of Musk, we could see Reddit become a lot more right-wing as those voices are the ones allowed to continue, like-minded mods are put in place, etc...which means those folks gain yet another messaging platform. It's not great.

They gave my twelve-year account a three week ban for reporting bots.
“Report abuse” for reporting comment stealing bots, as we were told to do! Insane… unless you want plenty of active bots.
I got the exact same treatment for "report abuse" for reporting a comment copying bot. Like, ok. If you want Reddit to be nothing but spam bots parroting each other, have at it

Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover!
That was among the AI prompts used. :)
Yeah, it's because of the messed up leg, the rule clearly stated only "Sexy Pictures of John Oliver", not "Eldrich abomination that looks like John Oliver".
I mean...yea. You damn near broke the internet with this.
What a perfect way to go. Incredible. Your account died with honor!
Big "Gentlemen, it has been an honor to serve with you all," energy.
Does anyone else have a craving to eat a peach right now?
Congratulations!
Thanks, I was honestly a little shocked to see the alert, as it had gotten a bunch of upvotes on /r/pics, but what a way to go out, I guess.

Totally worth it. What a way to go.

Farewell to your ancient Reddit account.

Of course they suspended you! You can't sell beef jerky, diapers, and car insurance with naked Photoshops of John Oliver.
I mean.... I'd buy Jerky if that's how they advertised it :P
Worth it!
Lmao they banned you for that? That’s incredibly legendary of you.
@ivanafterall they are now actively banning folks for using the pictures subreddit as intended? good grief.
@ivanafterall I love everything about this - the picture, the subreddit rules, and the way you went out. Brava/o!
Well you certainly went out on a high note!
They really are losing it over there.
How dare they. This is art!
thank you for your sacrifice
There are some things that are just too sexy for the internet.
but the fediverse can handle it ;)
I'm not gay, but I'm starting to have doubts. 🤔
I have the theory that everyone has some degree of bi/pansexuality. Maybe we are the Star Trek mirror universe after all.
