I sometimes comment in a community called wayofthebern, which is sort of a dissident left wing but good intentioned free speech sub, and reddit has been slowly purging the folks there over the past year
It's founder guy Fthumb got banned about a year ago for an absurd reason (talking about Israeli influence in Biden's cabinet), the entire website Saidit used as a backup got nuked, and out of the original folks there everyone is dwindling down

Sorry if this seems off topic to the sub or whatever, but I've been reminded of this sub during the Epstein emails and revelations, which brought me back to Kotaku-in-Action #1's original founder being a subversive trying to gatekeep everyone, which reminded me of this place
I hadn't noticed.
Somewhere around a year ago it basically became impossible to start any new account with any combination of VPN servers and burner emails. If it wasn't shadowbanned immediately, it tripped some byzantine filter in the first week or so and got shadowbanned.
I assume you just have to buy accounts from brokers now if you actually want to post anything. Not worth it at the rate that accounts are rendered useless.
GAFS and Fosscad are dead, there's just no reason to be there anymore.
