Don’t talk to laywers without a lawyer.
…it’s lawyers all the way down.
Also, bigger lawyers feed on smaller lawyers, scoop them up in gigantic mouthfuls, can consume up to four tonnes per day.
Reddit needs to die. They don’t care about the user base, it’s a cyberbullies paradise, they allow sub moderators to use software to block your IP even though an IP ban is supposed only be done by administrators, but admin doesn’t care because they get money. And now that they’ve partnered with Google they can have an algorithm go ahead and block every email associated with Google.
Also if you really want to see how censored reddit is ran now, go to one of the most popular subs and just try to use the word “moderator” in a post. You don’t even have to criticize them. They literally block the word from getting used because they refuse criticism
There was a case where a reddit mod was power tripping and if i remember correctly he was banning people for no reason/Criticism
There’s a lot that go on crazy power trips still. And it’s only going to get worse because there’s no repercussions to their actions nor is the checks and balances to ensure mods are doing what they’re supposed to do
@ooli@lemmy.world need to thanks reddit and they bullshit moves because they made me discover Fediverse and finally disconnect from a centralized world!
Thanks for your efforts! The only sound conclusions on their side would be to shut off unauthenticated endpoints returning valuable data.
That would kneecap public access to anything. Their API is what runs their site, requiring auth for everything would essentially break Reddit for anyone not logged in.
That would kill new accounts. No one would know what was being talked about before onboarding, but without that information, what would their motivation be for onboarding?
Reasons everywhere to leave reddit, Twitter and even YouTube (who we all probably thought they couldn’t ruin their reputation).
And yet the masses won’t. They care too much about bots inflating their follow numbers and people with a community don’t want to make an effort to keep it outside of the platform. Twitter is at its worst it’s ever been but that doesn’t seem to matter to anyone.
