Steve was always going to fuck it up. I recall a incident where he thought it would be cute to directly edit a comment in the database, bypassing the indicator that a comment had been edited after the fact. He never had any kind of good sense.

Fuck reddit and fuck Steve Huffman.

You are downvoted now for what used to be standard reddit etiquette. That site lost its entire identity. 2 days ago they rolled out age verification in some European countries. So, I naturallt redacted all my posts and comments and left.

They'll put it back. I did that too and deleted the account, go look now and it's all there. Oddly they left the last things which were very critical so I doubt they even looked at what was there.

How did you delete your comments? I'm thinking about doing the same.

There were scripts that would replaced the text and remove the comment, they don't work anymore after the api fuckery.

You might be able to find one that runs in your browser but it'll be really slow.

Never had that problem with older accounts. I guess I have to go in there to be permabanned. Shouldn't take more than a comment or two.

"Israel is doing genocide to the Palestine peoples", boom. Banned.

he apparently idolizes Musk, so thats whats he aiming for. thats why there have been so many purges, because of musk telling spez to suppress dissent.

He's a nazi, therefore a sociopathic parasite.
