I’ve seen the randomized replacement text results here and there. Right now I’m getting some entertainment value from rereading my footprints before I scrub them, but I might look into that service.

The only reason I log in there now is to slowly erase my comment history.

Literal brownshirt-wannabes are not worth engaging on social media, and “don’t feed the troll” has been an Internet aphorism since last century now

Reddit CEO u/spez Huffman never shook his compromised past as r/Jailbait mod. If there’s leverage for the regime to pressure Reddit’s compliance with favorable content policy, I think it’s connected to that.

It’s also not a very far stretch to suppose that Ghislaine Maxwell’s suspected account u/MaxwellHill, which was a resourceful driver of userbase and content development, connects Huffman to Jeffrey Epstein’s suppressed guest lists.

You will never see an explicit announcement from a social media platform “so hay guise we’re not allowed to criticize the regime, thanks for your cooperation”. There won’t be policy transparency.

I was already iffy about Reddit since the r/place #fuckspez whitewashing. I was never suspended - but when I learned Luigi was suddenly an “unperson” topic there, I realized that commercialized social media is inherently compromised.

I’m not swearing off FB/Insta entirely just yet, but every time I visit them I’m more and more vividly aware how tedious Meta channels are.

In my defense, my family of origin revolved around a cookie cutter Atlas Shrugged minor villain dad - gaslighter, business cheat and mooch, compulsive womanizer - so Atlas Shrugged’s heroes were the fantasy I needed when I read it. I knew I wasn’t a “John Galt” so I tinkered with a dutiful Eddie Willers identity for a bit. Some good still came out of it - I got interested in philosophy as a respectable formal academic topic, and outgrew the fantasy.
