The changes to API pricing which essentially killed 3rd party apps and made moderation more difficult for mods.
I used a 3rd party app as a solution for the following problem:
Rounded corner design of images and videos with no option to turn it off. (You can not fathom the infernal hate which I feel for such designs.)
Mods high on power who arbitrarily banned me and/or insulted me and Reddit admins didn’t give a fuck about the latter.
Context
I supposedly made a repost which was against the rules. I checked the rules and the posts in the defined no-repost-time-period of the sub (6 months worth of posts) and couldn’t find my post. When asking the mods politely about this, I got insulted as a karma-whore and there was no more communication beyond that. The other time I got banned because I compared design choices in the magic system of Hogwarts Legacy and Skyrim and asked people how many spells they would like to have. Inquiries about this ban weren’t answered.
The more recent AI content deal: feed the AI-mighty machine! And punishing users who altered their previously posted content due to that. And not asking them for consent to feed the machine at all.
Disregard and low to no effort communication of Reddit towards the users regarding some of the above concerns. Including spez. Ignoring a plethora of arguments and really showing that they didn’t care.
Reddit silently kicking out mods of subreddits which protested against those API changes by going private, going NSFW or other forms of protest and Red it replacing these mods with compliant boot-lickers if with anyone at all.
Yeah… I guess these were my main issues.
I’ve been a happy Lemming since last year when those API changes were pushed (started on a different instance) and never looked back.
A couple of things which accumulated over time:
