To be fair, it was only in the last couple years that it became that bad. It's still better than Elon's white nationalist vehicle of a social media site.

I was blanket banned from supposedly leftist subs for posting in PCM and the_donald - obviously trolling the shit out of them.
Fuck 'em, fuck spez, fuck their power-drunk mods, and fuck their total lack of understanding of what makes their site work, let alone good.

Tbf, I think I got banned from a vegan sublemmy for having an opinion that wasn't even necessarily pro-meat, but not necessarily pro-vegan either. I forget what it even was lol
I once got banned for racism - for making fun of a non-existent race.

My favorite is how ignorant people are so certain about some issue that top scientists are unsure about.
If you point out that we don't know whether there's any life in the galaxy except on Earth, folks will say there has to be because look how many other planets there are, or even say you're arrogantly self centered for entertaining the idea that there isn't.

If you can sound confident in a reddit-y way, being right doesn't matter. If it seems like the threads going that way just disengage, it's not worth it.
My favourite thing about this is that most of the AIs like chatgpt and its copycats use Reddit as a source of data.
Then they make shit up, sound confident, and mislead people.
All it needs to do is also repeat the same four tired memes, and it would be a high karma user.

Pretty much, seriously, fuck reddit... it's the only service I've ever been banned with in my 33 years of life, and I keep seeing others who have an unfair ban either on the site or from the site.
What's the old saying? If you run into an asshole, fuck him, if you CONSTANTLY run into assholes, you might be the asshole...
