Reddit did me dirty. I did them too. This is the story of how I got a permanent ban from Reddit for developing a non-commercial open-source client called Geddit.

    Reddit needs to die. They don’t care about the user base, it’s a cyberbullies paradise, they allow sub moderators to use software to block your IP even though an IP ban is supposed only be done by administrators, but admin doesn’t care because they get money. And now that they’ve partnered with Google they can have an algorithm go ahead and block every email associated with Google.

    Also if you really want to see how censored reddit is ran now, go to one of the most popular subs and just try to use the word “moderator” in a post. You don’t even have to criticize them. They literally block the word from getting used because they refuse criticism

      There was a case where a reddit mod was power tripping and if i remember correctly he was banning people for no reason/Criticism

        There’s a lot that go on crazy power trips still. And it’s only going to get worse because there’s no repercussions to their actions nor is the checks and balances to ensure mods are doing what they’re supposed to do

      Then just refer to them the same way the greedy little pigboy did: landed gentry.

    Thanks for your efforts! The only sound conclusions on their side would be to shut off unauthenticated endpoints returning valuable data.

      That would kneecap public access to anything. Their API is what runs their site, requiring auth for everything would essentially break Reddit for anyone not logged in.

      That would kill new accounts. No one would know what was being talked about before onboarding, but without that information, what would their motivation be for onboarding?

    Is this similar to how rdx works? I use it when I need to check my city’s sub from time to time.
