DHS is expanding its use of administrative subpoenas, which don't come from judges.

Sometimes I find old Reddit posts on search engines, and when I look at them the top commenter's account is deleted. This has happened many times, and I was curious about the general statistics of this.

I made a small analysis of Reddit.

I searched some random words with top posts: "minecraft, people, help, science, google, amazon, funny, colorful."

I didn't just choose the top one; I chose 10 old posts and summed up the total users in comments (top posts hierarchically).

Results;

total 1,947 users, 451 deleted, 23.1%

btw this is for users who deleted their accounts; maybe there are many more abandoned

this is just a small research I did; the real stats may be higher or lower - I don't know

So at least in my research, 23% of top commentator Reddit users chose to delete their accounts; some of them also deleted their comments, and some obfuscated their comments (to poison LLMs)

But 23% of top commentors is a really big number. These guys made Reddit the Reddit, but they chose to leave

The First Will Before light was named, before darkness was feared, there was Ki. Not a god bound by form. Not a ruler seated above creation. But the First Will — the force from which intention, balance, and judgment emerged. Ki was not light. Light was balance. Ki was not darkness. Darkness was correction. Both were expressions of the same origin, shifting only when purpose demanded it. When Ki chose to bring existence into motion, it was not mercy that compelled him — but necessity. Stillness could not endure.

Recently, the top mod of r/antimeme has been announced dead by another mod. https://old.reddit.com/r/antimeme/comments/1r1id73/rest_in_peace_course/

Shortly after, users on r/antimeme2 started speculating it to be fake and the user got exposed

I not only got an account banned for trivial reasons, they pre-emptively nuked every account registered with that email. Most were accounts I forgot I had to comment on video games, TV shit, etc.

The reason for my ban was actually in retrospect kind of funny and ironic.

My Otter_empire account got banned on the redscare sub for this comment

Ehh, a lot of the shift is due to libtards acting shitty tbh Something I've noticed between disagreements with libtards and wingnust is the wingnuts will just kind of disagree with your rants (ie I've made pro china, pro palestine comments with some of em) without considering you an enemy, whereas a large amount of libtards begin to actively police what you say and threaten to cut you off, not to mention hate you

So being if you want to have some wild/dissident opinions as a political hipster, it's really only more permissible in the right unfortunately

I'd say it's easier to be a pro choice right-winger, than it is to be immigration/trans skeptical left-winger

Edit: I got banned from the sub for this post apparently. Don't understand how it's particularly offensive or rule breaking, but ok

So keep in mind that was 3 or more months ago. Since that initial ban, I hadn't cared about going to the sub as I considered it already useless.

However; something that reached me in my news feed (whether reddit or X) was about a case with the "Dundee axe girl" in England being vindicated, as the folks harassing her and her sister turned out to be actual predators.

This stuck out to me because I had specifically remembered expressing doubt to some libtard while arguing over the topic.

In my mind, for whatever reason this case and it's narrative defenders reminded me of the Maxwell/Epstein types, in that predators were going for low hanging fruit (ie working class rough around the edges english girls) with a PR narrative ready to go, ready to demonize the victims, etc.

I switched accounts from Otter_empire to BoniceMarquiface because I was trying to search my own reddit comment history to find an argument chain of comments I recalled making several months ago, where I was arguing with a libtard trying to demonize the girl, while I was arguing the potential predators story made no sense to me.

Ironically I didn't need to switch accounts, I finally found the OP which was from otter_empire

There is still barely any information available and you're already jumping to a debunk conclusion based on nonsense. Since you mention how oppressed Mossad figures and traffickers feel like, I'd remind you that Epstein and Ghislane were also a couple, so maybe relax with your nonsense victimization narrative.

This young girl appeared to feel harassed, desperate, and made a threatening display while de escalating (leave me alone, moving away).

The "couple" in question otoh were making recordings of their hostile interaction with two young girls that seemed selectively edited, and even then didn't show them being harassed. So what gives?

I got in a very long winded argument at the time.

So when I came back trying to search my own comment , I got this thrown in my face

https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/1qxqrm0/i_grudgingly_admit_the_2nd_wave_feminists_were/

I grudgingly admit the 2nd wave feminists were right: most men would fuck a teenager if they could

That post made me annoyed. A bunch of morons doing a PR narrative spin, changing the optics to a generic "men in general" thing. It was just as absurd to me as the fact Epstein himself claimed to support "timesup". Yes when things turn into a bullshit culture war, gatekeeping narrative, rather than helping people who are powerless against victimizers in general, it's way easier to do.

In response to that post I made a snarky reply of "this sub was literally defending actual pedophiles harassing children a few months back", out of instinct (the only comment I had made since my other account was banned months back), and that is what resulted in some sort of escalation to a reddit suspension for both accounts.

I could on some level understand the "ban evasion" thing (it wasn't true, but at least made sense) if I went to the same sub within a few days of my ban, but that's not what happened.

What is amusing is I believe every single warning I've ever gotten was somehow pedophilia related. I made a comment on Jeffrey Epstein implying him dying was a good thing, and that got me a warning.

Leak show feds tracking anti-ICE Reddit users like "Budget-Chicken-2425"

Reddit is just pissing me off more and more by the day. Every single post (at least a solid 4/5ths of them) ends up getting auto-filtered. Sick of it...

Yet another reason to come to the Fediverse. Thanks, Reddit...

Here is the link to the orginal thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1qwo9u8/removed_by_moderator/

I’m ngl i’ve been doomscrolling hard over the wild stuff happening over this past week. I use reddit still to keep up to tabs on my local communities. My feed was full of anti Ice protest and the atrocious shit in the epstein files.

But today suddenly I’ve been getting A LOT of ads, random posts in subreddits I’m not even subscribed to or posts not politically related at all. Its feels like its a distraction from the stuff going on.

Anybody else run into anything similar?

Hey, to anyone who uses both platforms, have y'all seen a huge uptick in Indian subreddits being recommended to y'all, irrespective of your nationality? It's something I had heard a lot happening on reddit, but I wanted to confirm

Love this pack, the only thing I disagree with is the cat posting. I love cats and love to see people post their pics, the thing I hate is when they make the title some sob backstory like, "Someone called my cat UGLY!"

Personally, I'd replace the cat posting with AITA bot generated stories.

I apparently got fucking shadow banned for fucking using a VPN??? What the actual fuck.I can't do anything, and I tried making a new account only to get shadowbanned just a day later. I am now banned on my main account + 2 other acocunts, because reddit sucks, and apparently the solution is to appeal DAILY until I get unbanned?

Is there any actual solution than spamming an appeal button every day?

I found that the members of r/luckystar were saying very sexual things about characters that, while 18, had very child like designs. And even if, they were saying shit like, "Cunny!" and, "Correction!" so, yeah.

I constantly reported all posts and comments like that I came across and eventually made a post asking why they were saying things like that. I wasn't hostile, and was in fact, rather calm about the situation. Meanwhile, they were all extremely rude and hostile towards my post, calling me names and such, and about 20 minutes later, my account was shadowbanned.

So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos, they didn't even have the decency to tell me what I did wrong. Assuming how it all happened so suddenly, I'm just gonna assume the pedos all mass-reported my account for God knows what. Any and all appeals I've mad since then received no response.

I still stuck around for a few months after that, [that whole deal happened back in May of 2025.] but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.

Tonight, I finally put my foot down and said, "I quit!" I discovered this website and made an account here. I guess you can use this post to welcome me to the Fediverse.

Marketers and their bots have been using reddit to hype up brands. No wonder Reddit feels like shit these days.
