it’s obviously not racism. don’t be a clown.
it’s laziness and incompetence. it’s a huge problem for many smaller countries outside the western world. you are blocked from using various services across the internet constantly. they want to filter malicious traffic, and they don’t have many users from your country, so they blacklist the entire ASN.
the infuriating thing about Reddit is that they have an appeals process, and they’re just ignoring all of the appeals. it is known that appealing a suspension does nothing. it’s been this way for years.
what a goddamn shithole. the dark thing about this is that they will continue to retain the critical mass of users and they know it. it’s where the most users and content are. so many communities were completely erased during the mod strike and it didn’t matter. they knew they would be completely fine. the future is an authoritarian world effectively governed by companies like this.
cracks? it doesn’t even exist. we figured this out a long time ago.
