I didn’t get banned. I left after the API change. I was already reducing use naturally, and what time I did still spend there was mostly to mod a very small niche hobby sub.
Without the mod tools I used before the API changes, plus the influx of MAGA-bots on reddit as a whole, I could longer mod the sub in a way the community asked for and that I was comfortable with. So I resigned, wished the remaining mods well, and went about my way.
There were other subs trying to go dark and impact reddit’s advertising opportunities, and reddit was banning some of the mods doing that sort of thing. I decided even if reddit changed course, I was past the point I could ever come back to it.
Dito, not banned, but left with the API change as well. Still keep RIF on my phone just so that if anyone sends me a redditink I get a 401:forbidden and have to reevauate if I actually give a shit enough to view it in a browser. The actual app is just as bad as ticktok when it comes to nicking every data point that isnt nailed down.

There was so many good apps before the Big Ban. Still hurts.
