Dropped it years ago due to their cowardly moderation style. If you don't want someone on the platform, just fucking ban them. Why bother with a site-wide shadow ban?
because hellbans are funny and a malicious user who can't tell they're banned doesn't make a new account, potentially exposing users to their abuse again... is what i would say if i thought reddit cared about that.
If they had just banned me outright I probably would have just created a new account and might even still be there. In the end they probably did me a huge solid.
aka interacting with other subforums on the website 🤷
