Reddit going full mask-off 1984 huh? Next thing it’ll be illegal to downvote things Reddit likes to push… Or why even bother with the votes anyway, Reddit will just show you only the things that it deems good for you, like the benevolent Big Brother.
Fuck that place.

Hopefully someone eventually leaks how much Reddit is manipulated by bots. Politics being a major sub where it’s obvious.

Like YouTube hiding the dislike button or something, enshittification is in full effect.

They even posted on the site that half of the comments in many subs are by bots, mostly political ones

I had the strangest experience on Reddit that was the final drop for me to leave. In a thread of lousy jokes, I commented something along the lines of "This is all the fault of Leon Trotsky of Mexico City! Let's find him and get him, boys!"
It was flagged as doxxing and I was permabanned from the subreddit. I replied to the modmail ever so gently, saying, "Whoops, it looks like my poor sense of humor may have been misinterpreted, because Trotsky was famously assassinated in 1940."
The mod came back absolutely lamenting me, riddled with explitives, further calling my username a "racist dog whistle" (my username there is the same as here but suffixed with a number). They then proceeded to attempt to have me banned sitewide for "abusing modmail," although I was ultimately only suspended for 7 days.
The whole thing just left me so confused. But boy was that mod upset, holy moly.

Good grief, modern education has really failed that person if they don’t recognise the nam Leon Trotsky. He’s basically responsible for at least three chapters in any history textbook worth reading. Your post was CLEARLY a joke to anyone with half a brain.
But hey, I’m not surprised at what happened. Because the quality of moderation really took a nosedive since the API fiasco. Lots of not-shitty mods jumped ship or got banned, leaving only folks like that in charge: petty, dumb little dictators.
Well, we’re glad to have you here
