Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the “unmoderated” communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

    The auto-moderation is terrible and bans you for the dumbest stuff. Reddit has continually gone downhill the last couple years. Ad’s are out of control, and they love to promote religious ads and that should be illegal.

    I was permanently banned for saying Trump’s health was poor and he may be dead before 2028 and wont be able to run for a third term. Banned for inciting violence…

    I guess reddit really just wants a site full of bots and 50 people who post the same stuff everyday.

      92 people control about 500+subs on reddit, you can guess which one they are, and the ones less likely to get banned.

      I wrote a very fiery letter that I’m sure a bot deleted about how it cheapened the phrase “violence” to have it be slung casually around at speech their shareholders don’t love.

      I got banned when I connected to a VPN endpoint (ProtonVPN). Instant, permanent, unappealable ban. 13-year-old account. Sole moderator of a couple subs

      Probably for the best though. Screw Reddit

        reddit has been coming down hard on vpn users since last year. its futile one they shadowban you, rarely i see peoples ban get lifted on the shadowban sub, apparently and pretty obvious, The user said reddit “made a mistake because thier filters were misconstruing your words for somethng offensive”, i doubt reddit admins have time to look at every appeal, thats why i believe they ignore most of them, if not all accounts that are part of the multiple accounts from a single users.

      I was banned for saying something to the effect of “Fuck all the Republicans” in response to someone hating on a specific one.

      My theory is they are removing all the anti-maga and replacing us with neutral/pro maga bots so it appears that there aren’t so many people against them.
