I got sniped by a bot on Reddit, just two weeks shy of 15 years.

Didn’t even ask for the account to be reinstated but got a denial reply nonetheless that claimed it was decided by a “human” (…who obviously could not understand, “…So long and thanks for all the fish…” was a goodbye, and not a “please reconsider…” “Human” responder my foot…).

They also won’t let me delete the account.

Obviously its being run with AI now and the bots are doing the moderation and the refusal to delete accounts means they’re also ginning the numbers for the investors.

It really went off the rails when the IPO dropped.

Also, they’re deprecating the old reddit style and for people like myself with eyesight issues, the new layout is a visual mess.

I found old.lemmy.zip and fell into it and fell in love.

Haven’t missed a beat and don’t even thnk of Reddit anymore.
