    I’m about at my wits end with Reddit as a regular user. I have 2 accounts that I’ve used there for a while. One of them is my main user account, the other I use mostly to mod some subs.

    My main account recently caught a 7 day ban because of their stupid new “Violence” bullshit. It’s so targeted, and blatantly obvious that it really only applies to comments about certain things. They removed the comment that supposedly triggered it, but all I was was

    Hey Leon, you remember when you hit the cybertruck with a baseball bat? Why don’t you go fuck yourself with it.

    That’s it, that’s all I said. You could post that same comment directed at an actual Reddit user, and not catch a ban.

    Don’t misunderstand me here. I am not now, nor have a I ever been under the delusion that Reddit was the bastion of free speech they tried to claim for years. But seriously, they need to get their fucking heads out of their fucking asses.

      They won’t get their heads out of their asses. This recent censorship caused me to delete 13 years of comments and posts and delete my account entirely. Good riddance.

          I tried a Chrome plugin that had the limitation of 50 comments / posts a day but required money to do more. I had the day off, so I ended up doing it manually. Was a real trip seeing all the comments and stuff I’d forgotten about from all those years ago when Reddit was still a cool place and people were mostly cool.
