The Internet is practically unusable without adblock. Rawdogging the web you get a postage stamp sized amount of content bordered by flashing ads and video ads. No fuckin thanks homie

It’s unlikely that you will go undetected; reddit has ways of identifying the device you use based on the information the app takes from your device. That’s why it’s just as important that you need to use a new device as it is using a VPN to obfuscate your IP address.

My honest advice lines up with others. Let it go. It’s a bot infested shithole with admins that are drunk on power and even the mildest slightly left leaning takes will get you permbanned again.
If you really feel that you have to go back to the abusive relationship that is reddit dot com, I’d suggest using a VPN and only use reddit on a device you’ve never accessed reddit from before. Otherwise, they will match your IP and/or fingerprint your browser/device and you’ll be permbanned again within days.

My artist says that people sometimes bring in designs they like and don’t even notice that they are AI generated, even with like very obvious errors. It’s kind of concerning how imperceptive people are nowadays.
- Comment on Enbridge paid police to protect one pipeline. Now it wants to do it again in Wisconsin. 1 week ago:
They’re really going all in to protect Line 5, and there’s been so many warnings about it for years. Why don’t they just spend the money they’re already spending on lawsuits, police etc to just replace the damn line and be done with it?

Some more context, Brendan Eich was the CEO of Mozilla for 11 days due to the massive backlash causing half of the board to step down.
Despite it being so long ago and such a small amount donated, I’m inclined to believe that a leopard doesn’t change his spots, he just hides it better.

Yeah the Brave CEO has donated to anti LGBTQ campaigns.
No thanks

Another likely linkspam account. Post history matches a pattern to other linkspam accounts in regards to links posted and community activity.

Several gas stations have disabled the mute button at least in my area.
- Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder 4 weeks ago:
And gas station ads, especially ones on max volume. Obnoxious ads blaring so loud that even if you sit in your car you can still hear them very loudly.
- Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder 4 weeks ago:
No seriously though. Was using managers laptop very briefly, and needed to look up some instructions. No adblock, Google Chrome default browser, etc. The websites were almost unreadable. Giant video ads in top and bottom corners, big thick flashing distracting ads on all sides making the readable area a little bigger than a postage stamp. Genuinely how do people browse the Internet like this?

I don’t disagree with the content of this post but take this OPs hour-old account with a large grain of salt, this is likely a self deleting spam account.
- Comment on Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany 5 weeks ago:
I’ve tried Affinity, it’s got a few dealbreakers.
No ability to save a workspace or have it be cohesive across projects. Searched online to see if there was a fix for it and there’s not, you just have to set up your desired workspace for every single new project you start. Controls are not intuitive, i.e. right click does not bring up brush size menu. Can’t select parts of the drawing and just flip horizontal/vertical, you have to put it on a new layer and do a bunch of extra stuff to flip it. Also tried to import my PS brushes into Affinity and a lot of them had broken or mangled textures or just, did not operate the same and no amount of finagling could restore them to how they were.
I really wanted to like it but it’s still got some kinks that need to be worked out.

I’m pretty much in the same situation you’re in. I use Clip Studio Paint and a 24-year Photoshop user, and finding a suitable alternative to both is a crapshoot. I’m gonna try GIMP and Krita again, but I’m not optimistic…

I’ve seen some folks mention that this might be someone who was mad about being banned from one of more communities, so now they repeatedly make accounts, post a bunch of times and then delete the account to circumvent being banned again.

Yeah, the content of the post is fine, it’s just this community in particular has been getting a slew of spam accounts that delete themselves within an hour or a day of being created.

Might be another one of those fly-by-night accounts.

Apart from a lot of us (myself included) appreciating high quality animation and story that didn’t predisposition itself to be dumbed down for their intended audience, the main mantra of the Brony movement was “Love and Tolerance” which in the early days was practiced pretty cohesively, even extending to aggressors who would pop in and call everyone gay/other slurs to try to get a rise out of others, and whatnot. We’d just be like “ok, that’s just like, your opinion man, we love you anyway” and proceed on with our lives instead of engaging them in arguing and namecalling. At the time your typical garden-variety internet troll didn’t really know what to do in that situation. The Encyclopedia Dramatica page on Bronies was especially amusing because they admitted they didn’t have any viable way to cause flame wars or upset within the fandom.
As the fandom got bigger of course it was going to get people that take the bait so from my perspective it wasn’t as much of a unified front in later years as it was in the beginning.
But I was part of Mumble/Teamspeak servers, Minecraft servers, Steam groups etc and they were all very welcoming. I think it was just that most of us were well intentioned people that enjoyed us a good cartoon, lol.

I was one of the wholesome Bronies. Met a lot of great people that I still keep in touch with to this day.
The movement and the mindset really helped me in my darkest time.

You’re better off without it tbh. This is coming from someone who had an account on there for 13 years, it used to be okay, but big corps, bots, and especially the owner Spez absolutely ratfucked it into a shadow of its former self. It’s no longer reliable as a source of information or entertainment since it’s roughly 60% bots by volume. You never know if you’re actually talking to a real person on the other end.
If you really want to get back, you’re going to have to be careful about it. You can use a VPN on a device you’ve never accessed reddit on before, and you will likely not be detected. But again you have to be really careful. Even so much as opening a reddit link with your new account logged in on a device/IP your banned account was on almost guarantees your new account will get permbanned within a couple of days. They are unreasonably heavy-handed with ban evasions.
