Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.
Rules
- No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
- Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
- Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
- Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.
Will add more rules as needed.
If you're concerned that your post might be astroturfed/brigaded by pro-reddit individuals, give us mods a heads up beforehand, and we'll try to monitor the thread.

MODERATORS
Reddit got so bad that I came here. Just.. pure junk and bots.
Huh. My problem was I was getting shadowbanned and suspended left and right, whereas as I had been an active daily participant for YEARS with absolutely no problem.
You could avoid the bots and junk pretty easily be sticking to niche subs, but the banning and suspensions were unavoidable while commenting.
The bizarre bans is what made me leave recently. Banned from a default sub i had been in for years for posting a link. There was no rules against links and the reason given was "we don't like the link" then told "we don't have to give warnings" when I asked why I would be permanently banned for doing something that isn't against the rules. Then that same thing happened in another sub the next day. I don't know what's going on there but it's almost like they want to cull the users who aren't conforming to the way they want the content to be ingested.
reddit hates link dropping, its almost an auto-ban, or auto-deletion if you are lucky.
Yeah that too, the modabuse has just been reaching insane levels lately.
with AI/ and new filtering tools is actually alot worst now.
I was kind of curious to stick around to see how people would do their obvious calls to violence in ways to evade the stupid AI filter.
Mod abuse with the blessing of reddit admin.
Amen
Same here, after years of use with no problems, AI mods and overzealous human mods started banning users all over the place.
AI mods by individual subs, and reddits own filtering system. they even begun detecting the newer evasion methods, that spammers use.
What were you suspended over? Did it even make sense? What were you discussing otherwise?
I voiced my displeasure at the Americans current government, and they kept saying I was breaking Reddits rules. This was crazy as I saw worse comments than mine constantly.
Yeah, I noticed the same. I'm wondering if you crossed a certain line. I can easily imagine a political group monitoring certain accounts and reporting anything even remotely reportable. Like, in my case, I strongly suspect that being anti-Zionist put me on a list.
Same happened to me
Google dropped reddit as a source for Ai training data so they are trying to "clean up" to be sellable again.
it coincides the fact that google is limiting accoutnts per device now too.
Good luck to anybody trying to find clean data in this day and age.
You don't need clean data just numbers on a chart with blank promises for improvements.
Oh, wow, this from the month before this article:
https://www.ibtimes.com/reddit-reportedly-not-renewing-ai-deal-google-its-stock-sinking-3805616
That would explain the sink in stock price. My article was probably ironically written by an AI without updated training data.
I never fully remember the source, or I might sometimes get the fact slightly wrong but generally speaking everything I say is backed up by a real source that I'm too lazy to even begin to think about looking up again.
I'm the same way, but with the bible, so unless you were talking to God, I win.
they allowed reddit to be overrun by AI posting, and eliminating actual users.
I got so tired of engagement bots pinging me with inane questions every time I posted I comment I left and came here.
To be fair reddit users used to do that before the bots as well. Just pointless bad-faith pretending to engage without actually wanting to hear your opinion, just exhaust you for disagreeing with them.
Same, didn't even know about the fediverse until like a month ago. Thank reddit for that!
