There was a smaller (?) one a few months ago when reddit started punishing people for upvoting content that went against their ToS.

There have been several. Before lemmy there were others that failed.

AFAIK there was another exodus after they announced to be training AI based on Reddit content, another when they went public, another for starting heavily censoring more the platform (some people a while ago were getting banned just for saying Luigi or upvoting posts with it)

I don’t know if I was part of any major purge or not… I had some temp bans from a bot and then finally a permanent one, just expressing a wish for some blood clot to break free. I mean, it was way less expressive than other posts but I was marked for exit due to violence?!. I felt sad. I deleted an account, made another and then got re-banned within 24 hrs for no specific post, just for trying to overcome the ban… then I did a bit of research and honestly decided they suck, I don’t need them and life offers better platforms. I hate this current internet shitification level though. The way I was treated… well, I kind of understand why people decide to be trolls as a lifestyle behavior. I am not a troll though… just a bit rowdy and irreverent.

reddit went downhill as soon as they went public and capitulated to MUSK, because spez is so in love with him.

i was part of the 1st AI usage of banning. yup once you get a temp ban all your accounts will get ban automatically, regardless if its lifted or not for the original ban. and then i started hearing people were getting shadowban for no reason at all.
