It finally happened. My Reddit career is officially over.
This censorship technique employed by Reddit power bottoms err... I mean power mods has been employed against users that participate in "misinformation" subs. Today, I believe was the first time I decided to comment on /r/ChurchofCovid. Granted the joke was a bit crass albeit appropriate given the subject matter.
The irony for getting banned from /r/trashy for a somewhat vulgar joke...
It's unfortunate to get banned from some of these subs as, despite the mod bias, there is still some decent content and opportunities to make people laugh but I reckon that boat has just sailed.
As one who will often seek the golden lining in just about any circumstance, this may be for the better as I will be able to focus more on alt tech platforms such as Hive which seems opportune as our youngest is nearing school age finally e.g. I will have more uninterrupted time to work on things like the long anticipated Hive DR (downvote rewards).
Part of the problem is I have struggled with not merely focus but also interest in the things I want to do or at least envision. As some of you may recall, we had integrated role-playing game style ranks that were able to be obtained via the various downvote campaigns orchestrated through SFR or FAW back in the Steem days.
Little things like that made the project fun for me and think many would agree it helped to game-ify Hive moderation. It seems almost a psychological trick we are playing on our minds. Turning what would otherwise be a mundane task into a game helps maintain endurance for completion.
