I had my 15yo old reddit account still up which I was only using for outreach for threadiverse in places like /r/redditalternatives etc. Last week I got an email that they found some “suspicious behaviour” (of what? I never use it) and locked it, so I had to reset the password. I visited reddit directly to verify and discovered that it was indeed locked. So I reset my password, so far so good. Set a new password and everything. However when trying to login with the new password, it initially was giving me some rate limiting errors, and afterwards it was claiming “the username or password is wrong”. Also looking at my profile shows it has been restricted to 18+ user for some reason (I have nothing NSFW in it).
So looks like this is the anticlimactic end of that journey. Can’t say I’m sad, but I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner given the amount of anti-reddit shit I’ve posted in the past 2.5 years :D
You were active on redditalternatives? I need to go see if you made the thread that convinced me to finally migrate
Also fuck those forum cops. When I quit a year ago it was a big deal to see an account that survived 10 years with no bans or being sold to an onlyfans promoter. They’ve bastardized that place.
edit:can’t find the thread anymore. somebody brought me over though so you can blame them for this
For people interested in promoting the Fediverse there, there is [email protected]
woah, you guys monitor threads that mention fediverse? very intense recruiting
Seems like the only way to get more people on this platform.
I would really like to not have [email protected] reliant on two active posters, one of them being me
not knocking it. I used to say you guys don’t want to risk bringing more redditors over but yeah I see now some of these communities need fresh faces.
There is a lot leftists and Linux users there.
FWIW, I just subscribed to the comm!
Welcome!
It’s effective though.
Good👍
“you guys?” Leave me outta this! I try to grow our Lemmy numbers alone like the rogue that I am.
