Oh yeah, it’s easy enough to beat one you know how.
Yes, thanks to moderators who abuse the system, and lazy admins who don’t hold them to account.
Reddit uses fingerprinting techniques to track you across accounts. You need to look into defeating these tactics in order to successfully register (and keep) a new account.
Change browser, block html canvas, change IP address, etc. Also time plays a factor. Leave it a couple of weeks.
Or, recognise that Reddit has become completely overrun with shitposting bots and has little in the way of interesting content to offer these days, and move on.
I’d quite like to be able to buy a replacement ‘D’ keycap for my 2 year old Logitech G512 Keyboard. A part that can’t costs more than a few cents to manufacture.
The law: Do what we say, don't challenge us, give us all your wealth, we can change the law at any time.
“On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.” - Charles Babbage
This isn't new. Reddit mods have been like this for a decade or more. And the admins let them get away with it because they get free labour from them.
Top-level comments always get more votes than replies.
I increasingly feel like religious indoctrination in childhood creates a kind of mental illness or disability by disrupting the development of critical thinking skills.
This is not accidental. Many religious scholars have talked about the need to "instruct" children when they're very young - by the age of three or four.
There are other forms of MGM too. Fortunately most of them are rare these days. Castration, subincision, penectomy.
And then there’s intersex people. That are routinely subject to “corrective surgery” in infancy. As adults they tend to be firmly of the opinion they should have been left alone and that the surgeries were harmful.
IMO bodily integrity and autonomy is a fundamental human right that should be absolutely respected for every human being.
Security through obscurity. Solid move.
