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.

It's a sign to layoff Reddit and be active on Lemmy.

I started !gnucash@lemmy.ml a couple of days ago mainly to give me a little motivation to log on here daily and post something. Feels like I'm posting into the void at this point, but I did get three subscribers and a handful of upvotes 🤣. I'm still spending 90% of my time over at Reddit, but if we want alternatives we definitely need to participate more.

You know, I was considering reporting this for self-advertising, but I decided not to. It's a sad state of affairs that in addition to our core competencies, everyone's supposed to be good at the deception we call "marketing."

Thanks. I'm not selling anything or gaining anything from this. Reporting it wouldn't have hurt me in the slightest. I'm just trying to maybe give some new people a reason to check Lemmy now and then.
