    yup I got shadow banned from that hell hole after saying something mean about the orange in chief it’s so pathetic, it wasn’t even super bad I commented ‘welcome to Trump’s america’ under a post about inflation skyrocketing I was on the site for 12 years no problem

    it’s crazy to me I didn’t know they were so beholden to the right. it used to be the fascists got mad reddit was banning them. to.be banned over simply light jokes is so dystopian

    not to mention… their ban detection system is fucking 1984 shit

      After a decade there I also got permabanned. And then I got permabanned 3 more times with alt accounts for saying some pretty innocuous shit, but almost always political.

      I finally got the message. Fuck you Reddit.

      I got perma-banned for saying that the US Military won’t give a shit about what is happening because they only care if it involves bombing muslims. The “reason” they gave was that I was promoting hate-speech somehow.

        The chronically online incels look for things to mass report. It’s part of their ongoing campaign to shove the Overton Window far right.

        Reddits content moderation are cubicle farm employees that barely look at content; nevermind actual context or intent. They’re clearing tickets to make quota. Right wingers exploit this to control discourse.

        You can try doing it yourself. Look for frivolous things to report as offensive. You can get quite a bit of things removed.

          I did report some stuff in the past when I had an account, but usually it was either because it actually violated rules of a sub (Such as “Memes only” and someone posts a random screenshot with a rage bait title) or because it was actually straight up awful shit, I did get a few accounts banned as a result but they were posting actually vile stuff.
