I have enjoyed my time in Reddit with my art account.
I used to share NSFW portraits as per redditor requests there for around 3 years. Built my karmas and connections. Usually doing my routine of posting on some subs, when I got shadowbanned then eventually permabanned. I tried to appeal a couple more times but I just lost hope.
I will surely miss those times but F*ck That! I hope I find new people to jam with here in Lemmy.
Reddit has been a corporation-enshittified garbage fire for a few years now. I officially pegged the beginning of the end at when they ended secret santa.
On that note, someone should really make a Lemmy secret santa community if they haven’t already.
I first saw the writing on the wall when they started blocking API access for 3rd party apps. Rif was such an awesome app for mobile. I stomached it because the community was the main draw, but not anymore. Banning folks for updoots is way way way too aggressive.
100% this. Not only did it kill 3rd party apps it killed moderators custom tools. I use to get notified that my post was removed and the reason why it was removed. Now everyone is forced to use reddit’s own tools and I don’t even get notified that my post was removed. It is super annoying when going to a new subreddit and posting for help/support just to go and see that the post was removed silently.
Omg!! I love that idea. [email protected] would be the perfect community to host that they just got set up @[email protected] could you do that? `
They what!?
How can they end such a nice initiative? What was the problem with secret santa?
Yeah, they did that a few years back. Presumably the problem for them was that it didn’t make line go up.
