https://www.theverge.com/tech/975398/reddit-ai-rules-hub-mod... I was banned by their new AI moderation system. Then I appealed it and got a message saying "Our slop banned you by mistake." (paraphrased) Then I was banned again by their new AI moderation system. Then I deleted my post history using Power Delete Suite and stopped using reddit. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite Let their bots moderate bots.
In Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
This is true for a lot of older threads you'll go through and find the poster deleted their account and sometimes all their posts along with it. There's a few tools for this purpose out there, such as Power Delete Suite for Reddit [1] and Redact [2]. Maybe some people can share some others. I'd like to find something I could use to backup old reddit posts then delete them or my comments. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite https://redact.dev/
In Why is there so much [deleted] on Reddit, they clearly didn't delete themselves?
You can incrementally delete your posts and interactions while backing them up. Once done, you can request your user data to verify that deletion has taken place, and then cancel the account. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite , this and other tools make it easy to manage. Reddit has hamfistedly broken whatever value it once had as a platform for long form discussion, with the interesting and valuable fringe, hobbyist, and obscure niche forums having been banned or moderated into inane milquetoast. Now, its value seems primarily as a customer support resource for companies outside the US, or as a platform for attracting clicks on other platforms. Reddit's going the way of MySpace. Unless you like burning money, this IPO is one to skip. All the things that made Reddit great, once, are gone now. There are no compelling reasons to use

it; it's slow, intrusive, disrespectful to user privacy, performatively moralizing and preachy, caters to the worst sort of moderation and curation power dynamics, and serves no relevant purpose in the ecosystem of the modern internet. The best and only value of Reddit comes from older archives of scraped content now used as training data for AI.
