Smart. On many occasions I had gotten auto-banned from subs I never had even heard of because I’d randomly poasted on a sub that hit r/all and I’d thrown in my 2 cents on a comment. At that point, I should have seen the 'bot-storm heading in, but just stuck it out because of inertia on the site - mine - and the IPO sort of codified the weening “squeeky clean, sanitized for our ad revenue” behavior. Should have left then, but again… inertia and stuck around until the robo-ban waves started rolling in and I got caught in one.
LOL! I honestly don’t miss it. Am on old.lemmy.zip and have the same kind of comms I’m subbed to here and there and it’s fine. It’s actually kinda nice here - like reddit was at the start.
No clue - I had the good sense to leave well before the IPO.
