    I’ve been expecting this or something similar for a while. This was the push I needed to leave Reddit for good.

        Been here since the cth sub got banned and it’s honestly been a massive improvement. I ended up deleting my account completely and now the only reason I ever go there is to occasionally lurk certain hobby subs.

      Can you tell more about it? So your subreddit gut banned by someone higher up in the reddit moderator hierarchy?

          wtf I thought 4chan died already and was mostly controlled by government entities (secret services). Could be entirely on them. My next gues is they will try to follow you here and try to get the domain of this service attacked; but this is way more difficult.

            Yeah I don’t think it was 4chan. People would’ve been reporting the subreddit since forever. The Charlie Kirk thing just gave reddit admins the excuse to pull the plug.

        Yes, it appears that the subreddit was mass reported for not, “remembering the human,” when half the subreddit was celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death.

          Reddit is soo dead to me. The front page seems too manipulated and filtered to me to be honest. And the Kirk discussion I saw was entirely about the “facts” of the shooting (shooter escaped, shooter was on roof stuff) instead of the wider ramifications for society, the political climate, or who Kirk was as a person and his quotes.

          All the while we know nothing about the shooter, and his motives, or evidence he will be convicted on.

            Not to mention the very obvious botting during presidential elections and in the aftermath of October 7th. Every big sub just became a blue maga circlejerk with liberals doing literal holocaust revisionism regarding Democrats’ complicity in the Palestinian Holocaust. You could only have real discussions on a handful of small subs. Meanwhile, hasbara bs was getting boosted to the front page.

      I feel like I have to stick around for a bit to see all the liberal subs celebrating it because I’m a masochist.
