The only gymnastics here are happening in your head.
Ich lebe in Japan und hab dementsprechend nur ne Japanische Tastatur.
(DE IME Tastaturbelegungen kann ich mir nicht merken... -, ^ oder : sind ue oder oe, und keine Ahnung wo der Rest ist)
Seriously, this reads like a piece from lemmygrad.
Maybe your Japanese isn't quite at the level you think it is.
Unless you're on Kbin, which is not federated.
What I liked about reddit was its "googleability". You had a question and found an answer without reading through an endless article that winds it's way through rephrasing your question 5 times, adds extensive biographies of everyone mentioned, the wider history of the problem and the author's grandmother, all to pad the article and have you scroll through more adds.
But now there's ChatGPT, so most of my "googling" can be done that way, and I don't have to scroll through walls of puns or "this is the way" or "thanks for the gold, kind stranger", or "take my updoot and get out". I wonder how much of that bullshit were bots, anyway.
I'd been using RES to overwrite, then delete all my posts and comments every few weeks for the last years. If Reddit tried to restore any of my stuff, even if they went past the overwrite nonsense strings, they most likely only caught a fraction of it.
