Yes. I feel like polls such as Vote Compass are hampered by the fact that they take right wing policies at face value rather than what they actually do once in power.

I envy your willpower. My anxiety wouldn’t let me sleep tonight without at least checking how things are going.

Morally and constitutionally no, but good luck living long enough to argue that in a court.

I’m permabanned and they’re still sending me stuff. Read the room Reddit, you ended things not me.

Anecdotally that fits my experience. I’ve refused to use new Reddit at every turn (save the app where you have no choice), and I got permabanned yesterday despite no real escalation in my rhetoric. I’ve always spoken my mind, and let fascists and conservatives know exactly how low I think of them, and until about a month ago none of it had copped me even a temporary ban.

Even that is getting culled. Reddit recently nuked r/nsfw which is like the OG porn subreddit. Apparently the Reddit execs learned nothing from the demise of Tumblr.

New to Lemmy and this is me to a T. Reddit just banned my 11+ year old account for expressing my anger at the continued fascist attacks on my country (Canada). So fuck em, I’m not going to bend over backwards trying to make an alt account they won’t flag, I’ll be sad for the Reddit of bygone days but it’s gone now, the new one is rotten to the core.
