Seriously, wtf is going on? All the big platforms are going ban happy on a lot of people as of late for no reason, no explanations, nothing, or for extremely vague bogus reasons if they even say anything at all, a lot of people are getting randomly screwed out of the blue on years long accounts, they literally didn’t do anything to warrant it at all, even I got randomly nuked and locked out of most of the internet without any warning, discord is the only one that hasn’t been going crazy lately.
When the heck did it get this bad? Why are they going after people doing literally nothing wrong but leaving porn/scam/AI bots and actual TOS violators be without an issue? How do they benefit from banning everyone with no reason? What’s the goal here? Because it sure isn’t for stopping bots or scammers, those are running rampant more then ever now, and I don’t see how they gain money by banning and discouraging people who create content for their platforms, isn’t that like, bad for them?
EDIT: right, forgot everyone here is super duper political. Fyi I’m not much of a political person (sorry y’all), and I don’t really understand how any of this benefits them politically in anyway to begin with, or what any of this has to do with shareholders? How does any of that benefit those guys in anyway? I’m talking about normal people getting randomly banned without any politics even involved, people just hanging out in normal spaces and suddenly getting the ban hammer out of nowhere with no explanation.
Shareholders and politics.
Shareholders for Reddit, for sure, since they went public recently. What made the platform what it is will be censored until shareholders are happy. Users will be a second thought, or already are.
Politics because billionaires hate to pay taxes, so they’ll do anything to be in the good graces of politicians.
I’m glad we have alternatives now at least.
