Why I just left reddit.

[mirimir at riseup.net (Mirimir)]

Here's what happened:

1) Someone posted in /r/privacy, with concerns about ISP monitoring.
2) I recommended using a VPN.
3) A bot flagged my post, because writing "VPN" is forbidden there.
4) I complained on /r/VPNs, pointing out that this is absurd.
5) A moderator criticized me, saying that I shill for IVPN.
6) I replied to the criticism, disputing the accusation.
7) They banned me from /r/VPNs.

So I left reddit, because /r/VPNs and /r/privacy are two main reasons
for being there. It's sad, but so it goes.
