discussion How many of you guys are on reddit?

Wow no much love for reddit here oO'

It easily creates echo chambers, sure, but for games or other non controversial stuff it's pretty neat, you get to talk to other people enthusiastic about the same game as you.

I got no problem with reddit in general and i can understand some of the things the owners of it need to do to keep the site running but sometimes it just seems that they go out of their way to make it less fun to use

There are a few subreddits that i follow actively but wouldnt say i cant live without it. LOL

I never used reddit

I was permanently banned from reddit for a joke about how a boxer(puppy) can't take a punch. The dog was fictional and there was relevant context but the mods weren't having any of it.

I use it, but yeah you have to select your subs carefully, some of them really suck.

I used to lurk on there but got tired of the doom-scrolling and how much it made me lose faith in humanity. Gave it up when I stopped with most social media and I've been doing a lot better emotionally ever since.

I pretty much lurk on Reddit as well. Hard to be engaging when, like already stated here, mods are on power trips. Quick to drop a ban hammer when you didn't follow a dumb rule for your first post.

I lurk on reddit daily. It is basically an addiction at this point.

I only go there for video game stuff, other than that no. Used to frequent all kinds of subs there and took a break from it. I came back and got banned from several subs for absolutely no reason at all. I think a lot of mods are going through users post history or looking at the certain reddits to see whos following what.

I'm bored with that site, I don't like it, I don't see any interest, I also left that site (before leaving I started giving pure dislike in people's comments )

I've never posted on reddit. I'll read various gaming related reddits, though. I find it decent for newly released stuff. Seems more active outside of like discords.

I only go there for technical information. Reddit was censored to hell starting from 2011, but banning /r/fatpeoplehate was the last straw. So many nsfw subreddits have been taken down for bullshit reasons that it's insane. I don't even wanna get into the political aspects of the whole censorship machine.
It's a real shame none of the alternatives that popped up have been successful. To me, reddit is the most blatant example of "thought policing" on the internet.

I am on Reddit, but I got a shadow ban there for expressing my free opinion there. Now no one sees me writing. Now, if I go there, it's just to read something. I'm too lazy to create a new profile.

Shits so stupid tried to post to my local towns subreddit about a predatory scam i just witnessed first hand and the mods removed my post due to low karma,

Been banned from republican, democrat, psychology and anthropology - all for posting my opinions with citations and various links supporting my assertions. Republican and democrat reddits just outright banned me without a specific reason and psychology and anthropology for being uncivil or dismissive. To this day, they never gave me a link to the comments when they banned me for. They just blocked me. A week later my account was completely cut off from the entire site. Again, no link was given of where I broke the rules. I have strong evidence that it was one particular mod in r/psychology that was behind it all. Made another account and went to psychology, refuted, again with citations, the same mod and was banned within fifteen minutes. Within twenty minutes my account for reddit was axed. If you cross certain mods, you're out. Especially if you make them look bad.

Reddit was actually more civil and tollarant in the days when there was tons of racism and fat people jokes. It has become a cesspool of 'same-think'.
