It's really sad how you allowed ideological mods to take over and ban everyone (but it would be forgivable if not for the other things) and more importantly how you crippled third party Reddit tools including tools to help mods and you want to IPO (unless this has already happened at the time of this writing) which might mean you ban users so you can train LLMs on Only Correct Opinions
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But - fuck you? You took an excellent format and ruined it (RIP Aaron Swartz even though he might not have had to do much of anything with Reddit)
