I lost my 14 year old Reddit mod account. That modded a million plus subreddit. Because I made a joke that McConnell was close to death. Which he is. But they banned me before having to offer me stock options. Cunts.
People often think it was the encryption key controversy that broke Digg. Nah, the massive vote brigades and cliques operating blatantly on the open were the first nail. The second nail was Digg redesign with the stated goal of “power users are good ackshually and no way this will go wrong”
If random ordinary users don’t have any power on the site anymore - won’t be heard and will just be punished for ordinary actions - what has Reddit really become?

I just woke up to my 15 year old account with a warning and “suspended for suspicious activity” 🤣
Fuckkkkkkk Reddit. It’s killing itself off.
reddit is making way for right wing-only content, they allow “other side content” to drive up engagement.
Remember what killed Digg? Sarah Palin super users getting Republican content to the top of Digg. That will just kill Reddit off sooner.

Why was your 14 year old a reddit mod?
Because if he was 15 he would be too mature to be a mod!
Ba-dum-tissssss
This feels like the internet version of Statler and Waldorf bit
