Its been going on for longer than that. I haven’t been able to post on /r/sports for years. They were supposed to reinstate everyone from the /r/AFL feud but mine is still banned.
I do have sympathy for people that vote NO on large capital expense assessments because its expensive for them and then have to come up with the money anyways.
I’ve never been a mod but I can assure you this happened twice in the past month. And yes, I used to post from alternate accounts on /r/sports all the time since my primary account was banned years ago.
That’s why I’m here! I scrubbed my comment and post history with Redact this morning. I’d like to think that will prevent them feeding my comments/posts into AI model but I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually use the pre-scrubbed versions.
And then you probably need to do it on a separate browser that you’ve never logged in to reddit before. Rumor has it they are using device fingerprints to tie accounts together.
It’s not like there aren’t vocal anti-Elon/Tesla/EV people on reddit. I wanted an EV and didn’t consider any other vehicle because of the range and charging network. My car is almost 5 years old and we’ll see what’s out there in another 5-10 years.
