Reddit did me dirty. I did them too. This is the story of how I got a permanent ban from Reddit for developing a non-commercial open-source client called Geddit.

    Reddit needs to die. They don’t care about the user base, it’s a cyberbullies paradise, they allow sub moderators to use software to block your IP even though an IP ban is supposed only be done by administrators, but admin doesn’t care because they get money. And now that they’ve partnered with Google they can have an algorithm go ahead and block every email associated with Google.

    Also if you really want to see how censored reddit is ran now, go to one of the most popular subs and just try to use the word “moderator” in a post. You don’t even have to criticize them. They literally block the word from getting used because they refuse criticism

      I got banned for fighting pedophiles over stupid Dr disrespect drama. Stupid as in Doctor disrespect is a pedophile and his fans made excuses. I went into their sub like the little dumbass I am and picked fights with pedophiles about why “he didn’t break any laws” isn’t incompatible with him being a fucking pedophile and reddit banned me for “distributing child sexual content”. For telling people that just because it’s legal to fuck a 16 year old in Alabama doesn’t mean your not a fucking pedo.

      Appealed and denied at that.

      I shouldn’t go picking fights in bees nests, or at all generally. Bad for your mental health and all. But still disturbs me that reddit won’t ban the pedophile defenders but will ban someone picking fights with them.

      24 hour ban. Because I told a terf to “go die” when she was advocating for post op trans women to be placed in men’s prison.

      Like, nah. I ain’t gonna let someone play me like that.

    Reasons everywhere to leave reddit, Twitter and even YouTube (who we all probably thought they couldn’t ruin their reputation).

    And yet the masses won’t. They care too much about bots inflating their follow numbers and people with a community don’t want to make an effort to keep it outside of the platform. Twitter is at its worst it’s ever been but that doesn’t seem to matter to anyone.
