  • I was never banned but a few things led up to it

    • I received a warning from their AI moderation because I wrote I wanted to shoot annoying children (who were playing reddead redemption online). I was in the red dead subreddit too when I wrote this. Any level of context literacy would not have let that go through. This also happened after I made a very contentious post about being sexually harassed in a video game which made the nerds very mad and I guess mass reported my history
    • the punishment of mods protesting the API shit. I’ve moderated a community for 12 years, for those years it was implied it’s my community and I make the rules so I’m invested in it, but then suddenly you can have it taken from you if you set it to private? I now just sit on my subreddits and ignore them. I will remake them here.
    • a beloved subreddit of mine (I didn’t own it just visited it daily) was attacked by a spam network for 2 weeks. Mod was inactive. I spent hours mass reporting every account but reddit did absolutely nothing and just shut the subreddit down instead of blocking suspicious accounts trying to post the same keywords there, like 3 seconds in automod would have saved it. I could have taken it over, but I’m done doing free labor for Spez after the API fiasco showed we have no control over our own subreddits
    • people getting banned just for upvoting comments reddit doesn’t like
    • everyone on reddit has become a lot more hostile and toxic, only wanting to shoot ‘hot takes’ and insults instead of having a discussion. It feels a lot more like Facebook now than Reddit
    • final straw was the hiding of post history. There is no point in interacting with anyone on reddit if I don’t know they’re a real person or not

    Pre 2021 I had none if these issues and it was a great place that I learned a lot from, but corporate enshittification is going to enshittify everything it touches so I’m only going to donate my passion to open source things now.




  • Self screening options were just FDA approved in the last year. It doesn’t have to be violating anymore, but so many practices want to stay in the stone age.

    My clinic wouldn’t even follow the national guidelines of once every three years and forced me against my will to get them done every year just to get birth control. Let me repeat that: I was forced against my will to allow someone to penetrate me. There is no medical reason to require a pap smear to get birth control and the ACOG recommends against that practice.

    It’s about far more than “discomfort”. We’ve experienced medical battery at best and sexual assault at worst at the hands of these clinicians.

    I would have panic attacks before my appointments.
