I don't think you understood my comment.

And they'll be able to hand over to the government on demand when you say something the government doesn't like. They started all this during the previous administration, when the government were pressuring all social media companies to push their agenda and censor things they didn't like. X changed course, Facebook has now changed course, but Reddit is staying the course and will do whatever the government of the day tells them to.

If you feed AI output back info AI, it makes the output worse, not better.

Yeh but feeding reddit user output into AI is part of the reason why AI is so confidently incorrect so often.

when the researchers announced their shitty experiment.

Shitty experiment? On the contrary, it was an amazing experiment.

Your IP address/device fingerprint has been blacklisted. They do daily (possibly a few times throughout the day) automated bans of any accounts that visit the site from IPs of users they have banned. Commenting automatically triggers an IP check so you're banned instantly, but if you didn't even comment your account would be banned by the end of the day.

I tested this after I wiped and deleted my accounts back when they made all the API changes. They undeleted my account, undeleted all of my posts, and then permanently banned my account. I then signed in to one of my alt accounts that has never commented to see if they had banned it, and they hadn't - until a few hours later when it was permanently banned for "ban evasion". I created a new account to see what would happen - same thing. I then turned on the built in VPN on a browser and set it to always be active when on reddits domain and made a new account, and that account to this day is still not banned.

Yeah they've blocked VPNs because they want to be able to know exactly who their users are. They don't want anonymous anymore.

I haven’t signed into reddit since they bent the knee to musk.

What did I miss here? Reddit hates musk.....

100%. Reddit loves bots that they control, like the ones that go back and constantly re-post years old top rated, traffic driving content, complete with a replica of the entire comment section posted by hundreds/thousands of bots, because they can use it to do their bidding in pushing agendas and/or driving traffic/engagement.

Lemmy is the same in terms of ownership btw, as is pretty much every online platform. Anything you post is owned by the owner of the instance that it is on and that it federates to. You don't own it.

I did, there is no ongoing invasion OR predatory incursion. There’s the issue

According to you, but you don't get to decide that. According to the President however, who DOES get to decide if there is, there is. Your own links say this.

If you don't like that the President has the power to do this under the Alien Enemy Act, you should say that instead of saying that the President doesn't have the power to do it when he clearly does.

While I very much like the idea and would be happy for it to be made law, if they can do it for "poor people" why can't they just do it for everyone? If the government is going to step in and price regulate a non-government company, why stop at only doing it for "poor people"? Far more than just "poor people" could massively benefit from saving $30/month on their internet bill.
