You don't have your post deleted for forgetting a minor rule and there's a chance that your post will be seen instead of hidden under countless new posts.
Even worse when you browse /r/all, find an interesting post about some topic, join the discussion, type out a long reply, hit send..
And 3 seconds later you get an automod message that your comment was removed. Because you aren't a subscriber to that (default!!!) sub, or you aren't verified, or you used a word they don't like.
And even worse: You join a discussion, got some good points back and forth, everything is great. You try to reply to the latest comment in that chain to keep the conversation up and suddenly your comments get blocked. Because it was a /r/blackpeopletwitter post (you didn't even notice as you found it on /r/all) and at some point they only locked it down for verified black users, kicking you out of the discussion.
I mean sure, have your own space on Reddit (even if it's basically racism), that's fine. But then subs like these shouldn't be default subs on /r/all when they constantly lock down threads.
