Spez loves Elon. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was bending the knee to try and get Elon to buy Reddit.
Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time.

I’ve been seeing reports of people’s 5+years acc getting shadow banned for very little reason it doesn’t make sense. A comment removal, low karma, cqs scores, age is enough to trigger a full site wide shadowban.

I bet they’re focusing on the old.r users, they’ve been wanting to get rid of that for awhile. If they shadowban you and leave on your own randomly, there won’t be another mass exodus. That’s conjecture though.

Anecdotally that fits my experience. I’ve refused to use new Reddit at every turn (save the app where you have no choice), and I got permabanned yesterday despite no real escalation in my rhetoric. I’ve always spoken my mind and let fascists and conservatives know exactly how low I think of them, and until about a month ago none of it had copped me even a temporary ban.

Sounds a lot like what happened on Xitter after Musk took over. I suspect they are intentionally targeting left wingers.
