  • In the wake of the API shit I would use the report function for basically everything via browser. It was the easiest way to block a user and waste effort for the mods who stuck around all in one go. Never really posted or commented so I didn’t catch a ban that way.

    And by everything I mean I had a short fuse. Bad grammar, saw the post twice, the post or reply is just too “reddit”, the post didn’t bitch about the API thing enough, accidentally clicked on it, saw the post twice, user beat me to the punch with a joke worse than mine, sometimes I wouldn’t even read posts and just start smashing that report button.

    My understanding is that moderation tools were also fucked over like the apps we loved. So to me it was a good way to kick em while they were down and make them get familiar with the shitty interface to do their volunteer moderation for free.

    Without fail I would report admin and mod comments. That’s probably what got the bans for the first few accounts. Eventually I got browser fingerprint banned and found my way here.

    I joined after finding a good username/avatar combo




    1. It showed up one day in your apple library
    2. You couldn’t delete or remove it
    3. The band’s stupid name stood out in any library due to it being short
    4. At the time you couldn’t get rid of the album. It sat there eating up memory space and the best you could do was disable the album from playing in shuffle.
    5. Thank you OP for reminding me about this. It took over a decade but I finally got that album out of a now empty music library on a device that sat unused in a drawer. At some point between then and now deleting the album from your library became easy. Back in the drawer it goes.
