As someone has had their accounts shadow banned across of wide swaths of reddit, despite being one of its first users... good fucking riddance.

Your fault for having an opinion slightly deviating from one of the mods :/

Fuck man, I've had this happen to me multiple times:

  1. I make a relatively long and detailed comment.

  2. Someone replies with a vehement argument against a /misreading/ of many of the things I said in my comment.

  3. I point out that the replier is misunderstanding or misreading my original comment

  4. My original comment /is then edited not by myself/ to make it seem like the replier was correct the whole time, and then the same or other repliers dogpile on the thread claiming I am insane.

It is truly unfortunate that so many reddit mods seemingly have no problem using alt accounts and abusing their powers exist governing very interesting niche subject matter communities that you will just never realistically find a group of like minded people in the real, not online.

People used to think the internet could be used to the mass benefit of humanity by sharing information and having lively discussions about it.

It is now clear that the vast majority of people basically just use it to consume mediocre entertainment content and basically have one kind or another of popularity contest.
