What the fuck is happening at Reddit? (beehaw.org)

So, I have a main account, where I'm the asshole editor with lots of opinions, and then two others for things a bit more spicy.

Both of those have been suspended for "suspicious activity" roughly 30 hours apart. For, you know, posting what I usually do.

The thing is, one of these -- I'm in the eight-year club there -- is associated with an email address that was terminated for lack of use, so I can't reset my password as prescribed.

The other was suspended yesterday every single time I posted anything, resulting in multiple password resets. I've not posted anything there today, but ... hey, look, it's suspended again.

Is Reddit just making a hard turn toward banning adult content? r/help seems to have a few other people in my boat wondering what the fuck is going on, but I can't find any sources suggesting a shift in policy. And I can't post in r/help on my main ... the submit button does nothing.

I think we all get that it will take time, but whilst we wait, what happens about his PV system?

Pay a dude

People don't seem to notice how we've stopped paying dudes. Now that we've stopped paying dudes, is anything cheaper?

Heh ... I just spent a week and a half crashing with a friend to get help troubleshooting my fridge. I brought the final pieces he needed to get the solar for his van hooked up because they were at this point spares and relics of dead-ends. You don't need to pay a guy; you just need to know the right person.

Oh, it's going fine just now. Surprisingly well, in fact, given how many tree branches have gotten to know my solar panels in the biblical sense.
