OpenAI to buy AI startup from Jony Ive

until you get shadowbanned. my 15+ year account is dead because I logged-out of the iOS app and logged-in to the web app on my phone, it triggered the suspicious/spam filter and boom I am dead. tried many times to get it restored, no dice.

the funny thing is the only indication that this happened was keybase alerting me that my proof was gone.

I can login and use reddit as usual, but nothing I do has any effect. It's like I am in a sandbox. Try to view my profile publicly and it does not exist.

I am a serial account-hopper, so this couldn't happen to me, so perhaps I don't understand the point at all.

But what is keeping you from making a new account and rejoining the same subreddits, except perhaps losing a hundred million magic internet points?

Usually, if you have an account that old, you built up enough karma, especially in subs you’re a regular on, to speak your mind and absorb being downvoted heavily multiple times over. Its not worth it spending time to be able to do that again on a site that is increasingly astroturfed.
