I’ve been slowly moving away from Reddit, but I still go there occasionally. I was using it last night. Today, my account does not work. As I never used a real email address for it, there is no recovering it, but it’s weird that it’s just GONE. I had two other alts, both also gone. There was nothing that I saw in an inbox or message anywhere about “hey, we don’t like you, you go away now” or anything. Just POOF. Anyone else or just me?
Perhaps it’s for the best, just rip the band aid off and stop hanging around there anyway. Good times were had, but I guess it’s time to move on.
A vote for never looking back 👍
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
But not literally. Trust me.
yes king
up to the top you go
Easy upvote
Yea my first ever account was before emails were required and it was nuked a while back.
I’ll look at /all every once in a while but the whole meta of Reddit is toxic. I had a 12 year old account permabanned cause I disagreed with a mod on a fucking stupid subreddit
it’s like they just started nuking all the old heads. by the time I left almost all +10 yr accounts were moderators or /[deleted]
It might be because it wasn’t linked to an email.
I haven’t really used mine in years, but it still signs me in when I need to pop in there to look something up.
Reddit undeleted an old account of mine before their IPO. More accounts = more value?
I just logged into mine. no email address associated with it, and it let me in. first time I’ve used that account in probably 12 months and it still works. 🤷
and it’s gone…
after a period of inactivity they do delete your account to free up your username for use. your comments should still be at their addresses, the account will just read “deleted” or something
They seem to be going after +10 year old accounts, my was permabanned for ban evasion with zero email telling me what comment or community it was for
No bannable offenses? That’s a banning
Quite possibly. I’ve always signed up for any accounts with a disposable email, but it looks like one of mine that isn’t over a year old isn’t showing up. MFers.
While I’d personally rather have more users over here producing comments and posts and such, I’d point out that unless something has changed, you can browse Reddit without an account or logging in, from a Web browser. You just can’t post, comment or vote.
Specifically for subreddits flagged as NSFW, Reddit’s “new” Web UI will demand that mobile users install their app, but you can bypass that by using the “old” Web UI.
goes to check to see if that still works
Huh. Actually, there is a change, but not the way I’d expected. It looks like at least where I am, California, now even the new Reddit Web UI lets anonymous users into NSFW subreddits using a mobile web browser, just by clicking on an “I declare that I am 18+” button. That definitely had not been the case. Maybe these countries declaring age restriction laws basically made them review their policy, and some of the changes have actually made it more-permissive, based on geolocation of IP.
e.g.

Now both are accessible. I will bet that that’s not what people in the UK see, though (well, not unless they’re on some sort of VPN with an exit node in a place with different laws).
yep, no NSFW without an account. which sadly, means a lot of things other that porn.
seems like they’re getting it up to reg for having kiddies on in the youtube kinds of numbers
If you’re still invested in reddit in any way you are fucking up
Who gives a shit? 99% of people here don’t use Reddit anymore.
