Reddit Reviews 449

Reddit has been overtaken by Russian troll farms, and is turning into a left-wing echo chamber. Seems like organized and coordinated disinformation is exactly what the company is aiming for and what is keeping the platform alive these days — since nobody does anything about it.

Furthermore, their automated moderation is a joke. Malicious reporting is never looked at by humans, for example.

I have seen genocide denial, rape threats, glorification of Murder (for example Charlie Kirk) and antisemitism get posted regularly by the same people in the same subs — with no consequences. Counter any of it with rational facts, and coordinated reporting gets you banned by a bot. If you post anything critical about Putin or Maduro? Same shit; you’re out.

Reddit has no support my account got banned for no apparent reason I tried to email them I emailed them multiple times I got no response this is bogus u/gassy_girlsss

I've been a member for a couple of month's and generally it's been enjoyable until two days ago when I commented on a post about a really high walkway in China which had a photograph and asking if people would go up it.

I jokingly commented no way,no absolutely not and if you try and pull me then people will find your grave six months from now.

Apparently their robots don't like this and I'm on a three day ban with one day gone for breaking rule 1.

Subsequently i've now deleted my account and reddit can kiss my posterior.

Complete double standards in regards to enforcement of the rules.
A person can threaten to rape someone in the Dms or spew out bigotry and is still allowed to post.
But if you say one bad thing about the Trump administration, perma banned.

Commented on r/gamingcirclejerk.
Post about best games.
I comment "Chronos The New Dawn" then a quote from the game "such is our calling".
Unfairly discriminates against me and removed the comment when it broke no rules at all.
Sent mod mail asking why I was being unfairly targeted.
Got unfairly temp banned by Reddit because of false report from mods.

Subreddit was toxic and was breaking Reddit rules, I am not allowed to report the subreddit for breaking the rules. Im the only one that gets punished and i did nothing wrong.

"Reddit, the place for autonomy and right of free speech goes to die to breed discrimination and hatred"

One of the worst websites I have ever used.

Reddit is run by moderators (people who police Reddit for free) and if they don’t like what you have said they will ban you permanently.

Everyone on Reddit only has 1 opinion and if you post anything they don’t like they will ban you. I thought free speech was allowed.

They are the very definition of despair and giving up is okay. Stop Forum Spam is another.

They always send a robot reply when an appeal is denied.

The Reddit interface is looking good enough, but the platform is HORRIBLE AND FEAR, they never never never and NEVER ACCEPT YOUR APPEALS WHEN YOU ARE BANNED IN REDDIT, THIS IS HORRIBLE FIX YOUR PLATFORM RIGHT NOW

This platform is extremely toxic and hostile. People are waiting for someone to articulate an opinion that they disagree with so they can insult them despite being adults. It's in your best interest to stay away to be honest.

Great app, but the power-tripping moderators really ruin it. Reddit should get this under control.

The way the site is run makes no sense. You often need karma to post and karma is based on who votes you up or down. It's not even necessarily based on popularity because not everyone is voting . Those who do vote may not like your opinions or even your facts so vote you down. This encourages people to say what they think is popular rather then what is logical or factual. People that are less knowledgeable on a subject and post wrong information are liable to be the people voting in some circumstances. Also If you are knowledgeable about a subject you are posting on you are doing reddit a favor and not the other way around.. I have literally had bans for giving the right information. I have also literally gave information on posts with better and more accurate information only for it to never be approved. If there are actions taken against me based on a lie Reddit never corrects themselves. It's always your fault and they pretend to be blameless..I will give an example. There were people making the claim you can never time the market. This is false. For instance the market went up in anticipation of interest rate cuts. Then the personal attack starts. Then I suggest they seem to be seeing themselves in me. The conversation goes on with the other person trying to control the narrative and losing on every argument they make. At some point they probably realized this so reported me and I was banned. The admins and mods allowed wrong information in a group and then banned the person giving the right information. I am held to a high standard,yet those controlling the site often have a lower standard for themselves then I do for myself

Liverpool Football Cluss Moderators are Dicators

Reddit is terrible. The most amateurish app ever. It feels like a cult. Nothing about this app is right. You can't delete your account. It keeps saying the username is incorrect, even though it is correct because I logged in with it before. What a mess. Don't even start with it!

I love debating. I have advanced degrees and love to read. I find the process of engaging in critical thinking and engaging other viewpoints to be enjoyable.
Reddit, however, will not allow this. The moderators will brook no criticism and act like incel children. If you bought a subscription or avatar, tough luck. Your money will not be refunded. You will be banned, you will not know why, and there is no due process. At all.

AWFUL! PERMANENTLY BANNED FOR RESPONDING TO SOMEBODY HARRASSING ME OVER A POST I MADE! UNREAL HOW PATHETIC THESE PEOPLE ARE

Absolute blindness to today's news: war on onions and terrible information.

Reddit has some good content, but moderation verges on censorship, which results in a loss of high-quality material. It seems many moderators are inexperienced and wield power over content too readily (pun intended). They are also averse to criticism. So, far from being an open forum for free and wide-ranging views, it is a narrow, over-policed space where control of content is exercised without due consideration. And we're not talking politics here. This must be the antithesis of its founding principles.

Banned after 1st violation: avoid r/MechanicAdvice. I wasn’t aware of rule
advertising not allowed.
During the few days a member I found
advice lacking in depth and breadth.
I find artificial intelligence superior
at providing instant effective answers.
Maybe layoffs a factor in poor customer
service. Organization must do better.

I am writing to express concerns about Reddit's biased moderation, lack of transparency, and overall failure to maintain fair, consistent policies
