I have a feeling they’re cracking down on personal subreddits due to their own loophole in the upcoming change to NSFW content. If I interpreted everything correctly, Mods still get to see the full range of NSFW content, meaning seeing NSFW content even in subs that they aren’t a Mod in, whereas regular Reddit users are restricted.

In any case, I find it ironic that they talk about the duty of being a Moderator with such importance, and yet Mods aren’t even paid, AND… it’s quite a common thing that many subs have wildly corrupt Mods. I’ve no joke been PERMANENTLY banned from certain subs for criticizing a movie, a recent episode in a TV show, etc, and I wasn’t even a member of the sub for more than 24 hours. Like, ok, maybe I’m being a bit more harsh in my criticism than others, but when did it become a crime to have an opinion?

I’ve been IP banned 😂

I’m not even a Mod. I’m simply a regular user, who relied on the various Third Party Apps, who expressed support of the protests.

And yet Bozo himself, Steve Huffman, said the protests were of no serious manner, and yet Reddit Admins are using the full weight of their power to silence people who go against what they say.

I’ve been trying to get into RSS even before Reddit went to shit, however the problem with RSS, or at least for me, is that I’m genuinely struggling to see ONLY the things that I WANT to see. With Apple for example, I ONLY want to be notified of new iOS updates, but every feed that I can find pushes out articles for everything Apple related, which is not what I want.

I seem to be IP banned at this point. Any new account gets permanently suspended in seconds. And this all started just from my support of the Blackout and saying subs should absolutely go private indefinitely. So yeah, suffice to say Reddit is a dump.

And in all honesty I was already slowly distancing myself from Reddit before shit popped off. The internet is simply noise. There are things that I like to keep updated with, but a lot of it is just noise. Discussions are more like arguments nowadays, so what do I even gain from publicly making a comment on a topic? Nobody gives a fuck whether or not I’m going to play that new video game, watch that new movie, etc., and the feeling is mutual because I know I don’t give a shit about what people do either.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. Quick question about RSS though: is there any apps that can filter by keywords? So like, only send me notifications when it picks up something that matches the words that I want. Like, if I follow r/Apple for example, I’d want to be notified of new iOS updates.
