Reddit's website uses DRM for fingerprinting

I deactivated my account of 13 years, 4 weeks ago. As far as I'm concerned, its a propaganda machine the Soviets only could have dreamt of.

Its a shame because I got to briefly meet Alexis Ohanian in person and he's a great guy. I remember when redditors used to speak of the hivemind, but you don't hear about it anymore.

I was one of the Digg refugees from 2007.

I'm also a Digg refugee. 13 years, man, what a trip.

Didn't Digg v4 happen in 2010?

Right, you deactivated your account, but when was the last time you visited Reddit?

Particularly chilling if you engage with some of the recent theories about a certain power user who recently stopped posting.

Lmao, that can't be anything else than a shitpost. Would be hilarious though.

Can you spell this out? I'm curious but not curious enough to go digging.

There's a post that came out earlier today which claims Ghislaine Maxwell operates one of the most popular Reddit accounts.

It seems...sort of strange, to say the least? I don't buy it, but you can see the discussion linked.

There's a massive ban wave for everyone who participated to this topic so maybe they are onto something here.

I coincidentally came across the following article a few hours after being puzzled by nothal’s comment:

Summarizes the current claims, while providing healthy reminders about exercising skepticism.
