FB is ostly AI, and right wing content. i never thought of using that site due to that. and some younger people that use that site still before tiktok, were low-key stalking people
i think the increased activitiy is from the massive purges by reddit recently. starting from nov 5 they were purging like 1-2 times by the end of the year, by february they were on thier 4th large purge. and most came here. and then they started banning people based on words, or simple activities. my first stop after getting banned, was actually in another forum and they reported large purges and thier hundreds+ accts all were hit
youtube is fine as long as try not to comment on certain videos, and have adblock on. because you would get astroturfed by "fans of that channel, or right wingers", also not logging in helps, stop google from collecting data on your activities. i commented on isaip and nutrek videos and you were met with stupid commentors that think the current path of these shows is a good thing.
you used to stay long enough to be able to be in one, but reddit now just bans people so quickly you dont have time to create history on the site, its all done by Ai.
i got permaban 99% of my accounts initially early this year, tried to play it safe with a single old account by only visiting niche communities, but shadowban eventually caught up with my account. i suspect it was triggered when i tried to switch toa firefox fork+ a mod removed one of my comments in a niche sub.
1st thing it did is force you to change password then the ban was immediate. i suspect they were using the "change password" trick to ban people.
reddit only started clamping down politically, because of trumps 1st term, hence made it harder to say certain things, because bots are astroturfing everything.
no equivalent, thats the only reason. althought im shadowbanned i can only read-only anyways, i suspect that is reddit/spez current intended purpose for users. keep just enough engagement, via propaganda bots and users to keep up a front while exposing everyone else to advertisements. i always criticized how they do very little against controversial bots, and we know why.
Meta, ZUCKERBORG honestly is too datamine invasive to even make an account. i just bypass thier login popup up to look at certain posts with ublock origin. i think you could do it to linkedin too. the reason job sites like glassdoor and linkenin datamine is to give , besides selling it, giving your info to these companies in case your review "badmouths" them and they try to sue you.
glassdoor became corporate shills after they sued users. at the same time forums for these jobs have been shutdown.
if your using the same IP, same device(computer/mac or phone) and browser fingerprinting they easily ban you. only way is if all those things are different.
if one is a serial ban evader for income purposes, they are shelling out some money to use more aggresive methods to evade, it isnt worth it for normal users, but people earn money from have hundreds of accounts its worth the investment.
they also showed increased support from gen-xers and milleneals for trump too. when alpha come of age, i fear for them too. this also goes for POC men that went for trump.
you can thank the massive amount of propaganda botting that goes on.
