Obviously a few years ago, the API changes caused the reddit community mods to strike, and caused a mass-blackout of most reddit core communities. Eventually Reddit removed a handful of mod teams on some notable subreddits and caused the rest to chicken-out. But it did birth the Fediverse properly.
I suspect Reddit will make another step at some point which causes another comparable exodus. This time, if they do, the Fediverse is far better developed to handle it. What do you imagine it might be?
My account was 15 years old, even had a reply from the famed Keanu Reeves on one of my comments! However, I can sign in to my account, I just can’t comment, upvote, downvote, or post.
I attempted to make a new account but that one got banned as well because they attached the ban to my IP and electronic signatures - which… seems excessive to me hut okay.
