Redditors.
I… well, you’re not wrong…
like all popular things it always panders to the lowest common denominator
that and the abject lawlessness of it all… some of the biggest losers hold power over much of Reddit and they indiscriminately shadow ban and outright ban people on a whim
they also selectively enforce rules as they continually make them up
and Conde Nast undoubtedly sells every bit of data people provide
The “Anti-Evil Operations” (site-moderation, aka AEO) is very opaque and undermines the autonomy of individual subreddits. In /r/moderatepolitics, we finally just banned discussion of trans issues altogether because AEO had their thumb on the scale. I definitely come down on the pro-trans side, but it’s impossible to talk to someone on the other side of the issue when they have to avoid violating broad and poorly defined rules. The responses from inquiries has been basically non-existent, and this is for a fairly sizeable subreddit (250k subscribers).
Horrible site re-designs and soft-locking out mobile web-browsers with their nag-popups to install their spyware app. No, your site is not “better in the app” >:(
It’s definitely better in third-party reddit apps though.
i used to use Reddit Is Fun which had to change its name to RIF Is Fun because Reddit threatened to get the app kicked off all the app stores for having the Reddit name in the app
so petty
