This is an absolutely insane thing to suggest. They worked with Ghislaine Waxwell

I did on a banned account. They reverted all of it to the original comments. I know because I started getting replies to very old messages that had evergreen content
Wow, great timing!

Because it’s not bought and paid for by corporate overlords

If you’re using the Reddit app then they will ban every account with that app as soon as they log in

He’s a loser who helped found reddit and can’t figure out how to monetize it without sacrificing everything it stood for

I really feel like it peaked in 2012 or 2013. Hot on the heels of the “rally to restore the sanity” (which proved the true power of Reddit, but was co-opted and defanged)
Lots of big AMAs but they could be very chaotic.
Allowed content wasn’t quite as wild as two years previous but it was still possible to find some real taboo/NSFL/disturbing/subversive communities of all sorts.
The userbase was large but still most of your friends would make fun of you for going there, and your parents didn’t even know it existed.
The admin team was still pretty small and they even would make a point to hire users who understood the culture and spirit of the site.

Yeah… People lose their goddamn minds over minors and sex, like they were never minors themselves 🙄😮💨

I got banned for the telling a teenage OP in /r/sex that her yeast infection was probably caused by her boyfriend’s dirty fingers. I told her to emphasize cleanliness and hygiene ahead of future encounters. She said she couldn’t ask her parents for sexual advice and also couldn’t consult a doctor, so I tried to give her immediately useful advice
I was banned for “encouraging sex acts with a minor” but not before a bunch of people called me rude names for “imagining her sexual encounter with her boyfriend”

Yeah fuck Reddit. It was a great platform once. Now it’s dogshit. The leadership is visionless and obsessed with monetization, finally deciding to kill the golden goose

Truly you’re doing the gods’ work
Can I say “I hope Elon Musk dies and I can have sex with his corpse”?
Sell it. There are websites for it

Fuck Reddit
This shit is exactly what we knew was coming at some point. TPTB see that we all love Luigi and are quite happy to see more CEOs killed. They can’t allow us it to happen again
I got like five accounts banned before I figured it out
