But even if he was, I still don't think he should go to jail for it.

Probably, but 14 years is a whole lot of inertia to overcome.
Thanks! Honestly it's been less of an adjustment than I expected. Took a couple hours to read about it and figure out how it works, picked a server, and jumped right in. The big thing is that I'm losing that whole curated sub list that I'm going to have to replicate, but I'm sure it'll take care of itself.
I definitely don't want to provide reddit with any more value, but many of my posts and comments were informative or had a good way to explain something or the like, and I still get random replies and mail years later on some of them. This (in general, not on reddit in specific) i feel is my contribution to society, so shitting on that just to very slightly inconvenience reddit feels counterproductive. I don't receive any direct benefit from it (and upon leaving reddit I won't even get the indirect benefit of people telling me how helpful I was), but I am content to know that maybe I've helped a few people.
Ok, I'm having a brain fart here, but I can't imagine anything but 'knights' for 'k***hts'. :P
I left Digg during that exodus and went to Reddit, and now here I am. Enshittification happens everywhere that capitalism finds an opportunity to put its dick in someone's ass, it'll probably happen here too if it gets popular.
I went 13 years without being banned, even though I spent most of my time on there debating politics and religion which frequently got heated and had never even been temp-banned from a subreddit. Now I've been banned 4 times in the last year for total bullshit, 2 of which happened yesterday, so things have definitely gone downhill.
Yup, they banned me for 7 days because saying Luigi didn't deserve to go to jail for what he did is apparently 'encouraging violence'. I appealed and it was lifted, but not before I got another message identical to yours. In my 14 years of reddit I have never had more than a single account, so I appealed that too. I'm not banned anymore but I got a message saying the second appeal was denied and the ban would stay in place. I think reddit is just falling over itself in its eagerness to frog-march to ~~Der Fuhrer~~ spez's new fashy bullshit.
Thanks, that ought to get me started.
Oh yeah, agreed, it's definitely a problem. I once had to drive 4 hours on short notice because we had 3 guys covering the entire state of New Mexico, one was on a long call and the other was out sick. The on-site guy kept insisting that the outage was some arcane server issue he couldn't suss out himself, so I hit the road. But when I pulled up in the parking lot there was a fucking backhoe not 300' from the building that had clearly been digging where our fiber ran, and about 15 people standing around it scratching their heads. Worse, guy could see it from his fucking office window, and just.. never bothered to look outside I guess. I just took a picture of it that also showed the sign in front of the building, fired it off to him with a lengthy rant about his obliviousness, and went home. I had a list of incidents like this in my internal email signature and they still refused to hire anyone else.
What struck me as weird is that it's not a smooth curve like you would expect from lens distortion or whatever, it's straight for 6 windows, then angled from #7 on, which is what made me wonder if the building was subtly angled or something.
If I come across something I can't find here I will certainly do that.
