Thanks for the full disclosure and indeed that was a long time ago and even the world was a very different place back then. (For instance pre covid). I am not one to hold grudges if you are willing not to. However I found back then, that Reddit was extremely judgemental and extremely accusatory who loved to play “blame the victim” which is more reminiscent of communist China than a free society. I have since learned that if people don’t want to help me that its best just to move on and find forums that are a better fit for me.
However on more of the sinister side it doesn’t say much for Reddit’s commitment to privacy.
