Reddit is beyond parody: offering you a job after permabanning you (i.imgur.com)

The funniest thing to me is that I'm actually not a helpful contributor in local communities. In fact, I've never posted in any, because that would have revealed more about me than I'd like to reveal. Hell, I've never used either of my native languages on Reddit, but they just assume I'm an X speaker. Amazing.

They just IP-check users (possibly in violation of GDPR) and automatically send anyone who is a moderator this message. They didn't bother to build in a check "did we ban this guy".

either of my native languages

Italian and Venetian?

Did you take the 'Venice' part at face value? It's actually a character, the eponymous Merchant of Venice.

You should've said yes! If your goal is obfuscation of information, additional false positive checks are just as valuable, if not more valuable, than lack of information.

"Yes, Italian is one, Venetian isn't a language, Europoors learn many native languages, it's actually Portuguese".

Did you ever manage to get (or lose) your "pound of flesh"?

Did he get so much as a jot of blood with that flesh?

That's about the going rate for a gas station attendant in populated areas of the US.

So way more than a Reddit moderator deserves.

A prison shank between the ribs is free, though.

The Euro used to be much higher valued before all the Ukraine BS.

It's current parity is highly unusual.

I doubt cashiers at your average Chevron were making 25-30 USD an hour.

Some areas in the big cities probably have to offer that as a form of combat pay.

It's below parity now, and I've seen ads as high as 18 USD.

It is a retarded medium with retarded owners and retarded users.

I have to thank mrs Pao for making me leave that shithole for good.

The "You can apply here" link, can you tell if it's custom (i.e. is there some kind of a unique-looking code in the URL) or if it's just a generic link to an application page? If it's the latter, can I have it?

It links to a subpage of this place: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/reddit/

Though the specific page it links does not appear on that main page: it is either expired or private.

I can't count the amount of times I've seen that red hammer banner on my shitdit account(s)

On a side note I hate how bans are always so vague. Even when they are “specific” they are only specific to a bulleted/listed rule, still without context or details.

“After investigation we discovered your account was in violation”

Okay show me that investigation and how you came to that conclusion.

“Um but we investigated. It’s what plants crave?”

Wow! He actually had his suspension reviewed? I asked for a review a few months ago and haven't heard anything.

I can predict it. If you'd apply, they'd think: crap, we didn't want this guy, he has such wrongthink that we banned him. And they'd say: thank you for your application, but there was a candidate who was slightly better.

If I was willing to reveal my real name, which I'm not of course, I may have been able to sue Reddit for racial discrimination.

(Just so it's clear: I'm obviously not interested in this, even if it were real and they paid 100 EUR.)
