I had a nasty habit to argue with subreddit mods after being banned for mild violations. Obviously that would only happen when the penalty had been inadequate, otherwise I would keep my mouth shut.

It happened two times, at first I was banned for a week on the whole platform. Second time, I was permanently banned from reddit.

Mind you, these two were the only occasions I was banned from reddit per se. I would naturally receive bans on various subreddit for reasons, but never from the entire website.

Funny how the most powerful people on reddit are also most fragile and best protected by the admins.

Reddit is full of the most dishonest lying pieces of shit for mods and admins.

And they keep shoving more and more ads in their website and bots are running more rampant now, so it’s a sinking ship

goodness how i despise power tripping moderators.

i've been a mod in one pretty large and active online community and somehow power has never gotten into my head, but i've seen so many completely trip out over the smallest non-issues, fucking bizarre
