"Billionaires should not exist". The people who died on the yacht were not quite billionaires, they were worth only nine figures rather than ten. But still, you don't accumulate that much wealth without exploiting others.
The same day, the ex vice president of Autonomy software, was killed in a car accident.
It was not on the same day. Chamberlain died on 17/08. The Bayesian sunk on the morning of 19/08. I agree that it's a weird coincidence that the two cofounders died within days of each other, and only a short time after winning their lawsuit. But I can't imagine it's a conspiracy. You don't assassinate someone by sinking their boat in a storm. The road death is not suspicious either, the driver in question is a local woman who is cooperating with police, it's not like some anonymous driver struck the man down and then disappeared.
😂 I could understand why some people feel that way.
I like it because it does not have any ads, and because it's very easy to switch between accounts. You can even post from one account while logged in to another.
But that is the only reddit mobile app that I ever used. I never even downloaded the official one, nor did I try any of the other third party ones that got blocked. I could believe that some of them were much better than RedReader.
I can't remember the exact wording of the justification for the ban, but it was something vague like "violation of site wide policy". I did not do anything questionable to trigger a ban. I suspect that the real reason for the ban was to force me to provide an email address. The reason I think that is that old reddit displays the message "provide an email address to reactivate your account".
Whoopsies! I posted that to a similar conversation in a completely different thread, I got confused. My apologies. I don't know what you mean when you say that it is happening to me but not to you. You say that your account is banned and that you can only lurk - sounds exactly the same as my experience. Nothing to do with adblock as I have confirmed the problem on multiple platforms.
My account is banned. I can still log in and lurk, but not post, upvote, etc. And, as I already said: When I log in to the main site, it says "account permanently banned". When I log in to old reddit, it says "provide an email to reactivate your account".
I also have a very snarky hotmail account that every year or so I have to take over someones reddit account because they decided to use it.
That's very funny.
Whenever I get prompted for an unverified email address, for example to use wifi in a hotel, I always put x@x.com. Actually, come to think of it, x.com is the new twitter. I have been doing that for many years and never made the connection until now.
Do you have an email address associated with your account? I created my reddit account before email addresses were required. A couple weeks ago I received a site wide ban for unspecified reasons. On the main web site it just said that I had a permanent ban. But on old.reddit.com, it says "provide an email address to reactivate your account". So in my case the purpose of the ban was simply to force me to give them my email address, which I declined to do.
On mobile you can use RedReader. When reddit revoked access to its API, it made an exception for RedReader, because that app supports certain accessibility features which are "not yet" (i.e. never will be) supported by the official reddit app. So if you still want to access reddit on mobile, use RedReader, it has no ads and is much less irritating than the official reddit app.
I joined lemmy just over a year ago when reddit killed its API. I hoped that my favorite subreddit would come here too but it didn't so I wandered back to reddit. I was clinging to old.reddit.com and would probably have stayed around for as long as that lasted. But recently they began requiring email addresses. That was too much and here I am.
The person to whom I responded made a distinction between "election fraud" and "voter fraud" (not "vote fraud"). According to wikipedia, "electoral fraud" and "voter fraud" are synonymous. "Vote fraud" and "election fraud" redirect to the same page.
Electoral fraud, sometimes referred to as election manipulation, voter fraud, or vote rigging, involves illegal interference with the process of an election, either by increasing the vote share of a favored candidate, depressing the vote share of rival candidates, or both.
