I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

As much as I want to move away from Reddit completely, so much of information I search is from Reddit (because regular SEO results are trash so I always search on Reddit instead). Does anyone have any suggestions to other alternatives?

Use old reddit and ublock origin and you're not giving them anything useful by just looking stuff up. Reddit is going to be less and less useful in this regard as time goes on, though.

Ive been using redlib to browse hobby and TV show subs for awhile now and I like it better than old on mobile for readability. Theres a list of public instances on their github if anyone doesnt want to selfhost or test it before spinning it up themself.

But yes old.reddit redirector and ublock origin always get installed on Firefox right away.

With people overwriting their comments as they leave, this won't be a problem for long

Yep. Already plenty of useful info is gone since API change.

They'll eventually roll back those edits.
