I got banned from reddit for criticizing the mods of a popular subreddit. Perm-ban on a white vest account for saying the mods are crybabies as they once again complained about having to mod the sub.

Fuck reddit. Fuck spez.

I agree. I came here for two reasons:

  • Reddit is proprietary
  • Shit mods
  • API paid
  • Karma system

Though I still do crave the niche communities from Reddit and I might occassionally visit Reddit once in a while on my browser for them, otherwise the ads are pretty unbearable for me. The UI is also so fucking bloated. Fuck spez

I pretty much got permabanned for ban evasion, even though I was on an alt that has no reference to the others other than being on the same IP, my other accounts got banned simultaneously.

Same thing happened to me. 7-day ban evasion suspension instantly into a perma on three accounts at once all because a single subreddit mod threw a fit when I accidentally posted there again off r/all on an alt.

They were all made with the same email address so I could have easily made another alt by now and kept posting but I've taken it as an opportunity to do a Reddit detox
