I’ve blocked all ads on reddit on my own terms, and have actually gone ahead and deleted my 15 year old account too 👍 They can fuck off

They deleted my account for me. Apparently being anti-Nazi is a bad thing there.

I got my previous account permabanned by saying Palestinians have a right to defend themselves by any means necessary. 15 years, over a million karma and several of my huge subs suddenly without a moderator. And now those subs are garbage.

I made r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR what it is today. I took it from 150 subs in 2018 to over 1M subs by 2020. I was the one who initially implemented the "Banhammer bot".

Looking back, all that work I put into building it up meant absolutely nothing to reddit besides getting them more users for their eventual IPO. I put up with a lot of shit, including an attempted coup by r/fatpeoplehate refugees and a stint where one of the posts made it to r/all somehow... That was a fun night. Luckily I was already up with my newborn before shit hit the fan completely haha
