when you realize the supporters are even bigger buffoon than the one in the whitehouse, theres your answer.

cali was suppose to have fast railway, until musks hyperloop scammed permanently shuttled it, or stalled long enough for trumps 1st term to prevent any funding, so it never went into fruition.

all you need to look at is brexit, thats what happened to the uk, and now its happened to the us. and the perpertrators, russia was behind it all.

it was russia that was responsible for germanys phase out, because thier sole export is energy to europe.

in realilty they blocked it because the tariffs were affecting the tax cuts.

same only read only.

2)is the most problematic, it just wiped a large amount community, some subs sitll have posts that are old as a week, when before you rarely see older than 1 day posts in certain subs.

Reddit filters also increased in thier filtering, in response subs also did the same. so a user is facing against 2 forms moderation, one from reddit proper to catch the general"botting" which is well known to be biased. and the 2nd subreddit filtering, some subs have high filtering methods/crowd control.

i think users are only safe in niche subs that have low or no moderation in general.

the top 2 are the problem, not the users(unless they are troll/bots)

the aggressive permabanning that began around the time musk complained about not “moderating the site enough” to SPEZ the fan. and then aggressive shadowbanning as of late.

the astroturfing by right wingers allowed on the site, to suppress any opposing arguments, which includes immense of botting.

yea they collab with openAI, and GOOGLE for money. one of the tech they use for lower cost is vcaptcha v3.

reddit become the one-stop other sites closed down permanantly as well, or enshittified to the point its like new UI of reddit.

browser finger printing as well.

its not really speculation that moderation, appeals are done by AI, they are. they literally send people an AI response for people who got permabanned/

they will keep around right wing propaganda accounts around to generate “content” and have everything just browsing the site. they will keep around some of the large subs for the traffic they produce. eventually users will get low enough they will allow even more bots into the site, the ones they approve that is.

probably woulndt be legitimate scientist conducting said studies anyways.

there are ways to bypass it temporarily, but those people are usually the ones that have links generating income for the user, so they can afford to pay for the services to hide/change thier IP, DEVICES, and have proxies.

some have been appealing for months. one of my last acct that was hit/flagged in feb, got shadowbanned last month, because a comment removal and sudden switch to a fork of FIREFOX caused them to “change my password and then became a shadowbanned”

VPN is an autoban by reddit, even if they catch you immediately, much like other SOCIAL media platforms doing the same. they want to know your location to sell your data. they go after more sophisticated proxies too, if they are overused though. i think the only ones that can evade them is the proxies that change ip frequently, combined with anti-detection browsers and new devices.

also creating new accounts if you were shadowbanned immediately they can detect your new accounts and shadowban it, they do it by using AI to look for the same patterns, same IP, DEVICE, BROWSER , and posting behaviour.

the only way is if you have a NEW IP, and DEVICE, and a different browser. then they look for your behaviour on the site: how long you are scrolling or randomly clicking to evade thier filters, your posting, upvotes, even your writing style.

more than half, i think only admins listen, if a MOD contacts them to appeal on your behalf, otherwise its just 50/50.
