    Yup. Also got my account suspension due to “suspicious activity” on “upvoting and engaging with discriminatory and violent content”.

    Meaning I upvoted posts condemning US’s current position, and correcting the swarm of misinformation by US shills.

    Glad I finally managed to nuke my entire reddit history and delete my account. F’ that toxic cesspool. R/Europe and other euro-canadian subs already felt like more US and Russian shills were active than actual europeans or canadians.

      I had all my comments admin removed that were criticizing Russia from an academic perspective and academic tone. I even cite and quote well respected interns relations journals that are totally neutral to traditional conservative in leaning. Nope.

      What’s so utterly bizarre is that the “conservative” community on Reddit keeps blasting that it’s “ultra-left.” If plainly stating “Russia’s war time economy is something I don’t like” is “ultra-left” then I am fucked and probably already on a list haha

      As soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, I was permabanned after 12 years and almost a million Karma. I was sad at first, but more and more, Reddit is filled with bots, trolls, punsters, novelty accounts, and plenty of other nonsense. 50% of most comment sections were bullshit, and its been increasingly difficult to have a good faith discussion without it breaking down because of a flood of bad faith contributions.

      I’ve come to terms with the idea that im better off. Without vigorous discussion, what good is Reddit?

        Precisely that. If a forum meant for discussion has its credibility compromised, what good is it as a discussion platform?

        It’s one thing disagreeing with one’s PoV or not tolerating actual aggressive/toxic behavior. It’s another entire thing to censor opinions written with civility and arguments, or allow for bots to derail any meaningful discussion and demotivate/shame people for what they believe in. En masse, at that.

        I am willing to learn another person’s PoV if it differs from my own - heck, if they make a compelling argument and present facts I had not considered I might even change my stance on the subject.

        But simply discussing in bad faith and relying solely on insults or disinformation, plus an unwillingness to also consider other people’s PoV is not the way to reach common ground on differing positions. That’s when I realize that person is playing around and I might as well not give them their fix of dopamine.

      i felt like r/europe was very “r/politics”-like, i distinctly remember one of my old acc was banned from there from a certain comment about ukraine, right before the banning madness began. and then one of the ukraine subs, r/ukraine or ukrainewareport was also getting more restrictive.
