Just migrated over from Reddit. My account was only 19 days old, and Reddit's automated spam bots completely shadowbanned me purely for connecting over standard mobile carrier data. I didn't even break a rule—the system just flagged my account profile out of nowhere and completely broke my mobile settings menu. Glad to be on the Fediverse instead

Spez has decided banning the user base will be beneficial, let's see how that goes

    its likely actually what pushed to force logins now. banned a large portion of the user base, and that base is only lurking now. with that loss of datamining for google/AI, im guessing whatever scraped currently on reddit is mostly AI generated posts/comments, and reddit desperate to bring back actual users into the fold so they started and will force logins , so that user content can be sold to google again. conveniently google forced limiting accounts per device a few months ago.

    It seems that they are SUPER ban heavy these days. I guess they won't be happy until literally every long time Reddit user has been banned.

    While it has it's flaws, we're much better off on the Fediverse anyway, contributing to a free and open ecosystem.

    they overbanned im guessing which eliminated accounts, multiple accounts. so people are too paranoid to login and onl lurk now.

    They are also ip banning now, so if they catch your old IP or your VPN you'll get banned automatically.

    yes, i think thats what drove alot of users away, and became lurkers, now they are trying to "claw" back some users so they can mine them more for Ai scraping, while not easing thier filters(yet).

    the purges include multi-account bans.
