Reddit sucks now , unhinged mods
Posted by Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit | RedditAlternatives | View on Reddit | 61 comments
Mods are incredibly intense now, can’t even bring up certain events or even mention certain people. The mods are unhinged. faux maux gave me a perma no warning for saying Miley Cyrus has a rough voice , and iv been temp banned on other subs for less in the last 3 weeks, iv been on here for over 3 years never had a ban or temp. nothing edgy on here anymore either, news or celebs and you can’t even make an opinion without bans , this shit needs to stop 🛑

reddit admin is likely sending threatening messages to mod teams...

Almost exactly 10 years ago, sometime in the spring of 2015, Reddit started its decline into full enshittification. By spring of 2016, this site had transformed and was no longer a good place to spend time.
But it was too late by that point. There's nowhere else to go.

I got permanently banned from the climbing subreddit for questioning if it was a good idea to politicize Yosemite by raising massive flags in protest.
It's especially cool because now I can't ask any safety questions I may have.
SETHW@reddit
That's a braindead take to be fair , yosemite was created and continues to exist as a direct consequence of policy and policy IS politics. How do you discuss a national park without policy being involved on some level. If you really want apolitical go to russia and see what that looks like.
Galterinone@reddit
Except the flag had nothing to do with any policy related to national parks

They are so censored and throw out bans like its confetti, they don’t even answer appeals half the time
Galterinone@reddit
Yea so far every message I've sent to the mods has resulted in no response and an even longer mute before I can try again :(

I got my post removed from bodybuilding subreddit and got a 100 day mute for posting about the bodybuilding show that was happening. My post had 55 upvotes and lots of comments before it was removed because apparently they didn't want more than 1 post about the show. Their wiki had no such rules. It was made up on the fly. Ridiculous.

Theres a lot of grifting in fitness subs. Its all about money and branding. mods are aligned with whatever influencer guru, supplement brand, equipment vendor, league, etc. They might allow some minimal competition to create an appearance of unbiased moderating, but there definitely is one.
Their guru can post a 30 minute youtube that is 5 minutes of vitamin ads, 5 minutes of selling VPNs, and what amounts to 20 minutes of an ad for their own 'custom' workout routine ebook (custom but everyone gets a copy/paste?)
Yet a really good short with a simple tip from someone out of their network not even selling anything gets banned for self promotion. Lmao. Its so obvious.
Individual-Pea3610@reddit
Half the time they report your appeal as harassment and get your account yeeted
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
Low blow , now that’s unhinged.
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
Sucks, its like supper moderated to the point of they don’t agree with your opinion your out , make up their own rules as they go.
MLEJ2@reddit
>>"moderated to the point of even if they don’t agree with your opinion your banned"
Not only opinions. i was banned from 1 sub for a post containing no opinion but only a brief statement of verifiable facts. Even if hey don't like your facts, you might be banned.
F3z345W6AY4FGowrGcHt@reddit
I got a 30 day ban recently for incivility because I used the word, "wacko"
When in reality I'm pretty sure it's because I was pro gun laws in a sub that's pretty right wing.
Jkid@reddit
It started when Donald Trump started running for office and went all in when Donald Trump won. Trump winning against Hillary irrversibly broke people brains. A modern political "catastrophe".

Remember slashdot?
busymom0@reddit
They are still around no?
ravenfreak@reddit
There's plenty of alternatives out there. Forums exist, also Lemmy is a decent Reddit alternative. Discuit is another one. If you feel like there's not a community for whatever subject you want to talk about you should look into making one.
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
Tbh I’m not good at it il swallow the pride on that, just wanted too see if anyone shared the sentiment.
Dense_Ease_1489@reddit
So you're a shit stirrer doing nothing. Nice. Thanks. Bye.
Key-Stock-4363@reddit
Faux is an actual cesspool. Be glad you're free
VladTheBanned@reddit
Yes, I noticed the same. They've gone rabbid. Nothing but full support and worship for a certain Middle Eastern country is tolerated. Same with one of the genders and lgbtq+.
I thought I was a leftie, I support things like gay marriage and abortion, but the left has gone so radically far left here on reddit that people like me are seen as evil centrists 😆 Horseshoe theory in effect

thepottsy@reddit
I just read the comments in that post, and there’s no way you got perma banned JUST for saying that. I call BS on that claim.
fox112@reddit
Way too many people on this sub complain about getting banned.
ResolverOshawott@reddit
And 9 times out of 10 they were banned for a legitimately good reason.
DreamHomeDesigner@reddit
this is bait, reddit deletes accounts for even admitting a ban or whatever
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
lol go ahead 🤷♂️
thepottsy@reddit
You have to understand my skepticism when you claim you’ve “been on here for over 3 years”, and are posting from an account that’s 2 months old. Did you have previous accounts that got banned?
topselection@reddit
I've been here for twenty years but this account is 7 years old. But then, way back when, age account didn't mean anything at all since old school netizens cherished their anonymity and karma was useless Internet points. Now these things are used as a social credit system.
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
Oh 😂 , yeah I deleted my old account
DreamHomeDesigner@reddit
always has been
jawnsusername@reddit
I was banned from a sub for saying porn is a more respectable career than the military. It wasn't even a military related sub.
Positive_Plane_3372@reddit
Faux moi just Hamas propaganda and CCP hate nonsense.
Krotine@reddit
Just waiting for Digg at the moment.
eunderscore@reddit
Faux banned me for correctly pointing out that they were supporting misinformation spread by kneecap that kneecap are being targeted for their stance on Palestine (see...all the other public figures bigger and smaller than them who are not being "silenced').
They are being investigated but for their repeated, evidenced, vocal and flag waving support for terrorist organisations. But that's not a good narrative for kneecap.
Mute2120@reddit
I don't want to link to and risk brigading, but a mod in the Portland subreddit responded to bans for mentioning information about icicles and said:
So there are now secret rules hiding what is happening that admins are enforcing and will ban mods for disclosing.
miyavlayan@reddit
I don't think they support terrorists, they don't support the IDF as far as I know.
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
Their trying to get me banned off the app now, just escalated the situation for no reason just because they can , they really are dickheads, probably a group of very angry group of people with daddy issues. that like to have power trips on a shit app
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
Oof yeah that a mess
eunderscore@reddit
I'm going to a festival they're headlining next month. It's going yo be full of insufferable arseholes giving these dickheads who are better film makers than musicians, a pass because they agree with one thing that they do.
Kneecap are crybaby wannabe victims. It's their brand.
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
Insufferable

only lemm.ee is shutting down, there are other instances (aka proxies/gateways/servers) you could use instead

Spread it enough it might catch on fire
YesHelloDolly@reddit
I'm wondering if it is a waste of time, since progressives harass anyone that posts something they don't like till they leave a sub, if not outright ban them.
VladTheBanned@reddit
I concider myself progressive and I agree. The rest of my tribe does not tolerate anybody who steps out of line. They and the maga idiots are the two sides of the same coin. Horseshoe theory in effect.

SoggyGrayDuck@reddit
Yep, when is digg launching?
reddittorbrigade@reddit
Mods in worldnews and news are pro-Israel.
They will ban you right away if you mentioned Free Palestine.
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
Yeah fuck this site, free speech too Aparently
271kkk@reddit
I remember getting perma for saying I have a homosexual person in my family that also had XYZ issue under some post
Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
Sounds about right, unbelievable
271kkk@reddit

Distinct-Salad-3182@reddit (OP)
