    Are you using a VPN?

    Is this Chrome or a different browser I don’t recognize?

    Are you affiliated with any communist organization?

        I’ve heard Reddit is starting to crack down on people using VPNs, which is a real shame because that also means that open information (ie intended by posters/commenters to be universally accessible) will not be.

        Reddit is now protecting “their” intellectual property.

        Ironically, shuttering access is where the profit is to be had, as it gets sold off to Big Data (AI) companies for processing.

            I had to redelete some of my comments 3 4 times before they went away for good. I should probably check again in case they came back.

            Edit: Yep, a dozen old posts and comments are back again.

              The phrase “data governance” is so hosed online. In a better perfect world, you would be able to keep up whatever data you felt like sharing and take down the data you didn’t. (Obviously third party archives could exist regardless, but hopefully you get my point.)

              This whole AI thing could, or at least should, open up conversations about being able to revoke consent in a corporate relationship sense, in the same way you can already revoke consent in a personal relationship sense.
