You have to read between the lines. This just gives them the option to label anybody they want as a “bot” with virtually no way to challenge them. They can now ban anybody they wish for posting content they don’t agree with (pro-gaza, anti-israel, anti-capitalist, etc).
It’s sort of bittersweet (more sweet though, as the past few years the site has just been miserable for me), but I’m sort of proud I went out standing up for women’s rights.
Just to be clear… you think that the thing they’ve been actively doing for years, without any indication that there’s any motivation to change, is why they’re changing policy? 🤔 let’s just say I’m not convinced

They already ban anybody they wish without recourse or actionable means to challenge them.

It was a 14 year account when I got banned, so yeah pretty much same sad boat. I do miss certain specialized specific subreddits.

They might be wanting to branch out to banning for protected reasons. They would need a handy excuse for that to avoid lawsuits.
