Indeed, fuck reddit and their Russian shills. I was permanently banned for commenting about the Russians receiving a dose of their own medicine and I did not use a single swear word.

I've had almost all my posts on Reddit go up in smoke for one pedantic reason or another. I haven't posted here much out of that fear but I think it's much better here.

I protested, they said, nope

Protesting on a site that's fully automated their administration just means getting told "fuck you" twice.

There's no real bureaucracy under the hood. It's just "friend computer says you're guilty" followed by "friend computer says you're still guilty plus you had the gall to doubt friend computer's immaculate wisdom".

My ban was for quoting someone who said a slur so they couldn't edit their comment after I reported it, and I said as much in my report.

It's the moderators, they are dumb as fuck because there's no consequence because they're all volunteers. The only thing stupider than the volunteer mods who don't demand pay, are the people who get hung up on what moderators are doing or not. We should have all stopped taking reddit so seriously a long, long time ago. Protests? Jesus christ, a reddit protest does as much real-world good as a kindergarten protest by the children mad that they can't get more cookies.

Reddit, like all major social media, has really been making me feel like dead internet "theory" is real.

I am done with reddit since last year, it s a power hungry incel moderation website

It's not as bad here but I already ran into having a comment of mine deleted from a sub because I suggested that Peter Molyneux is a scam artist, no longer a developer, if he ever couod be considered one. I didn't think that was such an outlandish position that it warranted deletion. But it was removed with an exceptionally vague reason and they wouldn't responded to me asking for an explanation. So how am I supposed to even know when my opinion will offend a tender soul there? My guess is peter Molyneux himself was the mod. Lol
