Reddit argues that its recent enforcement actions, banning large numbers of users who claim to have done nothing wrong, are efforts to improve platform “integrity,” stop manipulation and remove inauthentic activity.

How did the picture even get past their mods?

Fucking cunts at Reddit.

I really miss pre-2021 or so Reddit. Hard to believe what it’s devolved into how.
