Don’t have their descriptions anymore since I logged off of RIF but they were all variations of the same sort of thing

I’m leaning more toward “incompetence” as the explanation for this. What good does it do Reddit to leave RIF intact, but simply disallow logging in?

Reddit’s value depends on content creation and interactions driving ad views. Read-only RIF users create no content or interactions with the site. And for many like me who purchased the premium ad-free version, we see no ads.

Admittedly, I’m not sure if the RIF ads in the free version are Reddit’s own ads or not, but without the content creation, and the interactions driving more engagement, RIF does little but drag on the site.

I will be interested in seeing if traffic here noticeably increases after today…

THIRTY SEVEN? Try not to make any new rules on your way to the parking lot!

They permanently banned my 9yo account with 2 million karma for using the “boxes of Liberty” metaphor in a highly up voted comment about Republicans taking away access to voting. They said it was a threat of violence. 🙄 Meanwhile fascists make literal death threats in conservative subs with no consequences.

The site has systematically been banning high volume contributors who aren’t right wing enough for at least the last 3 months. They, like Twitter, are trying to suppress the voices of people who are against fascism. It is deliberate and planned.

This is great advice, coming from someone who pondered using the “Mother was really sick and had to manage her illness and passing” excuse if I ever went back, as it was true for me too. (I’m sorry for your loss, it’s a really painful life transition, I know.)

I ended up taking a slightly different approach. I worked in IT project management before I retired early. My LinkedIn resume shows me currently employed as an “IT consultant” and will until I decide I need another job or I kick it.

Thanks, I’ll do that!

I haven’t even visited the website version yet, so it never crossed my mind to try that. Thank you!

I have found that by brute force hitting the button between Subscribe and Pending enough it eventually switches to “Joined”. I’m not proud of my troubleshooting method.

Not to be That Guy (but promptly being That Guy) do you have a source? I’ve not seen anything about him asking for a plea deal. Thanks.
