    Maybe they shouldn’t have permabanned thousands of active users like me, with a 12 year account and nearly 1 million Karma. People like me built Reddit, and as soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, the DOGE Goblin demanded that Reddit purge its membership. Now they’re stuck with bots, novelty accounts, punsters, Russian Propaganda Farmers, MAGA activists, etc.

      No they are remaking the building exterior so they put up a scaffolding, hidden behind the add and fake windows. It’s a common practice in Paris, though there are talks of banning the adds to reduce visual pollution

    Is France making an effort to untether itself from US tech companies like some other parts of Europe are?

      Why? We don’t need the service to be popular. That’s the great thing about it being decentralised, it kind of doesn’t matter.

      Also we don’t want a bunch of French people on here, speaking their strange heathen lingo.

    I’m staying with my boyfriend because of his dog. Am I horrible?

    Is there a Parisian who doesn’t do rock climbing, Pilates, or ceramics?

    I’m going to the Maldives but I’m composting, does that make up for it?

    Just between you and me, who’s ever bought fruit on the metro?

    So, what do we do with the people on the wrong side of the escalator?

    Has anyone ever found the exit at Chatelet, or is that a myth?

    Reddit is the most new-user-unfriendly site I have ever been to. You’ve got to farm an unknown amount of karma before you can post or comment in subreddits. There’s a reason I’m at Lemmy now. Fuck Reddit. (Also, 4chan is a toilet. The occasional nuggets of good stuff aren’t worth trawling through pages of shitposts for.)

      reddit recently became hostile to new users, and inactive users(users that suddenly decide to use thier old accounts to comment) they just shadowban most of them now. the only people ive seen that succesful are the ones that are using other methods(not vpn) to hide thier device, fingerprinting, IP adress etc. even this is temporary, since reddit is also catching up to the other methods.

        That’s funny cause all but one of my alts was banned, which so happened to me the only account I didn’t use the same email address for. So I figured that email is the only tracking method they use. I’ve had no issue making new accounts under different address.

      It’s worse than ever. Once you work your way up to being able to say anything - BAN! It’s more of an echo chamber than ever before.

        They don’t even let you see what you were banned for. Links to a comment that doesn’t exist within your ban notification

          AI bans dont tell you that your what you were banned for, its always the generic “you have violated mutliple violations, on your ACCOUNTS” message. they also use AI moderation to shadowban people too, which i think is much more severe than the sitewide banning. they originally shadowban people for using ban evasion accounts, but now they are abusing to ban anyone indiscirminately(aside from a selected group of users).

          i think reddit also gatekeep new users, and inactive users.

            They are carefully curating their membership so it’s more MAGA-friendly. They’re turning it into Twitter.

      Moved here and haven’t looked back.

      I do keep a Reddit account that is strictly used for informational/support type stuff (i.e. “help me figure out what type of widget I should buy for this task”). I avoid anything controversial on that account.
