Reddit Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from perceived censorship and biased moderation practices. Many users express frustration over account management issues, such as difficulties in deleting accounts and unjust bans, which contribute to a sense of being silenced. While some appreciate the platform's diverse content and sense of community, the overwhelming sentiment is one of disillusionment with the site's environment, described as toxic and unwelcoming. This dichotomy highlights a pressing need for improved moderation transparency and user support to enhance the overall user experience.

I'll have to agree here, this site and Quora are running a tight race here when it comes to power hungry mods, you can state your opinion on here and get punched in the nose for it, nothing but hate and gossip spewed in all directions, I am a man almost in my mid 40s and am getting too old to let myself get too angry over stuff, I am just a person who tries to get through each day in one piece.

Violation of 1st amendment
September 19, 2023

Ok so I posted a comment on reddit the user was r/Ukraine. I posted screw Ukraine and for that r/Ukraine reported me and reddit muted me from the user and suspended me from using reddit for 6 days. In there message sent to me the said to not contact the user so after my 6 days was up I did contact the user and asked them if I hurt there poor little feelings and I left another simular comment. So because of that reddit has band me from using there site just because I spoke my opinion. Reddit has nudity violence porn and everything else on there site but non of them are band. So I say let's put reddit out of business take them down for good. We should have every right to speak out opinion. Let's destroy reddit.com

No free speech allowed!
September 13, 2023

You talk free you get banned forever. Political subjects are off the table. As soon as someone feels attacked no arguments are required to get you banned forever.

Posting on Reddit is horrible. Reddit just keeps getting worse. Nobody likes them anymore. Their moderators suck and Reddit goes against freedom of speech as they permenantly delete your account and are oversensitive baby cowards. I'm moving to. X.

I wrote this to the administration, and that is not accepted. Copying and pasting what I sent them;
I have been blocked, my email is benand,,,,,@ This woman has been using my email for countless months. When I signed thinking I might like to get involved with the community. I sent a detailed message explaining someone was using my email. I am now been accused of impersonating of someone. I just signed on now with my business account. Still blocked. I'm letting you know how I have been treated. I have never in my life impersonated anyone. I'm 74 years of age. I am not perfect, but that is ethically wrong. I am reporting this and have no desire with your company.
Trying to post and of course, will not be accepted.

I never purchased as I was beginning to purchase. I checked my emails and sure enough, someone is using my email.

Reddit suppresses
August 30, 2023

All I can say strongly is that reddit is politically non-neutral and it's admins block any kind of controversial opinions

This should be obvious

Because basically I'm a horse owner I start posting and commenting in subreddit called r/horses I was attacked so much I had to delete my account, these trolls would follow you from one post you commented on to your post to attack you, I tried confronting the trolls but they attacked me more for reporting them, you can't delete hateful comments on your post you can only block the person yet there comment is still there, this app is filled with sociopaths that need to be reported to the authorities and this app needs to be banned more than TikTok, this only happened within 48 hours worst social media I have ever downloaded in my entire life, I have not been attacked like this on my other social media (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter)

Absolute Hell
August 20, 2023

Reddit has gone downhill, they used to be a fairly good website but the new anti-bot algorithm, and new suspension program is getting innocent bots and people IP and mac address banned. A boycott recently took place but to no avail to get opinions heard. The subreddits are also solely governed at the discretion of the moderators to which they may ban you simply for not agreeing with them. These bans are not revised for any reason even by Reddit staff. Reddit's new content algorithm has not been updated since it was put in place meaning you won't get shadow banned however you also won't necessarily reach people you want to simply because they don't follow a similar subreddit. In conclusion; Do not use Reddit. Perhaps a decline in website traffic will help them realize they need to step up. And for whatever reason should you continue using reddit, do not post or comment to any subreddits. Limit the sites traffic s as much as possible

Like we all know by now, stay away from this garbage.
Moderators on random subreddits have power to ban accounts older than 10 years because of almost nothing.
Just terrible, fascism at best.

Not only is content awful now, the interface is impossible. The website constantly logs me out and refuses to send me a password reset email. I've had to create like 9 new accounts. Lemmy is great though- try lemmy.world. Highly recommend

I posted on Reddit about a dislike of some well known people. Out of the blue I received a mob of very hateful teenagers maligning my posts and even posting personal information about it. I have no clue how they found personal info but they were very malicious and it was bad. On Reddit, if you report people for personal info, harassment nothing is done and the victim gets banned.

The level of hate and evil these bullies have isn't normal. It is a cesspool of very deranged disturbed people and something needs to be done about this website. The mods don't care and people there are cowards who sit behind computers just trying to ruin people.

Keep your children and anybody you know with a mental illness or history of depression well away from Reddit. Not only are most of the people who frequent the site scumbags, but the reddit moderators do nothing to keep people safe (while always using the fact that they are 'volunteers' as an excuse as to why they half-$#*! their responsibilities there). Keep away from Reddit at all costs. Unsafe, unkind and filled with the kind of people you just don't want to know IRL.

Living in my former place (Chestnut Ridge apartments)was an absolute nightmare. The maintenance was appallingly lacking, leaving numerous issues unaddressed. The constant noise made it nearly impossible to find peace and quiet. The overall quality of the place was horrendous, and the rent was sky-high despite all the problems. The bathroom was a breeding ground for mold, and the walls had such poor insulation that the outside weather seemed to creep inside. I couldn't wait to move out and find a better place to call home.
Also full of bacteria like chiggers. Living in a place filled with bacteria like chiggers was a health hazard and added to the already unbearable living conditions. The infestation only added to the list of problems that made the place completely unsuitable for a comfortable and safe living environment. It's crucial to prioritize cleanliness and hygiene in any living space to avoid such health risks. I do not recommend this place.

Your post will be deleted if you mention any negative experiences with polyamory. It is considered to be "concern trolling". Never heard of that term before.

A lot of stuff on Reddit just plain sucks, which is why I do not use it anymore, there are a bunch of memes that aren't funny or don't make any sense, and there's also a lot of 18+ content on Reddit which is ok in some cases but in others when I'm trying to show someone something on Reddit or someone is watching, hentai showing every third post isn't convenient and there aren't very many settings to disable or toggle it. Everyone on the platform is also like really toxic and will argue with you over literally everything also I don't really care but I noticed that the platform will show you mostly left/liberal content rather than conservative/right content for reference Reddit has no clue what my political say is in things and I've only ever seen liberal content.

But there are a few good memes I come across every blue moon which honestly explains why Reddit youtubers are so successful they find the actual good part of Reddit and post it on youtube.

There are subreddits that allow people to report your post into a different sub they can basically start drama and bash your thread. They know they will have no argument in the initial sub so they use this as their circle jerk. It's mastly filled with feminists and if you delete your original post they keep a copy of it here, which violates Reddit privacy policies.

If you post selfies just for the fun of it and are not an onlyfans girl, don't bother.

You will get complaints about little things such as photo quality from other users. In some subs god forbid if your make up isn't up to their standards or a style they don't like, you will be ridiculed for it. That unfortunately is only the tip of the iceberg.

If users see they can't control you (your appearance and how you take photos) they will stalk every post, passive aggressively downvote them, gaslight you into thinking there's something wrong with your appearance by accusing you of photoshop and won't believe you when you debunk it with videos.

You will face nastiness day in and day out that will make you question yourself.

Oh and the mods? Will ban you or question your reactions to these impossible situations instead of banning these cretins.

In conclusion I agree with past reviews. Reddit is a cesspool.

A colleague told me that he had a friend who bought a used MacBook from a seller on Reddit. He sent me a link and told me to get in contact with the seller. The seller sent me photos of the MacBook in good condition for $600 USD. He sent me an invoice via PayPal so I thought this is sounding OK and looking legit even though it was my first time buying something from Reddit. What I didn't know was that seller only spent $20 to ship the item and did not insure it. UPS marked it as delivered, but it never arrived. When I told him it never arrived, and that I wanted a refund he went nutzo. He started sending me melodramatic emails saying he would call the police on me and have me banned from Reddit (in which case he would actually be doing me a favour) and he never wanted to speak to me again. I reached out to PayPal to activate buyers protection, but as long as USPS marked the item as delivered, I was out of luck. So many phone calls later to PayPal and USPS, as well as cases, opened and closed in the sellers favor, and then re-opened again. For a while it was looking like I was gonna lose my C$800 and the whole experience was upsetting. I had to persist with multiple calls and emails and follow up. A huge waste of time. Over a month later I was granted the refund after USPS posted a second delivery date at the tracking number. My advice to you. (1) never buy anything on Reddit. The sellers are not professional, and may possibly be running scams. (2) if you want to buy a MacBook buy it from the Apple store. (3) never rely on. PayPal buyers protection if you are not 100% confident in the seller. (4) buy from people you heard of that have a website and are not irritated when you email them. Some sellers are actually selling computers, phones, or other devices with malware and spyware, which they later used to hack into your bank. BE CAREFUL, BE CAUTIOUS and WATCH OUT for deals that sound too good to be true, you get what you pay for! (my real Screenshots are attached for your reference). Update Nov 2023: Luzsom LLC has changed his name to Fadeo LLC.

This is what I tried to post. Here I am upset because my PS5 appears to be faulty and I can't get hold of PSN support so I naively spend a hour writing this on REDDIT only to have it deleted by a BOT! All hope gone now because once again, a company only cares about money and doesn't hire real people to Moderate. Just use a ******* BOT!
"Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/playstation5.
Moderators remove posts from feeds for a variety of reasons, including keeping communities safe, civil, and true to their purpose."
"I loaded some PS5 and PS4 games. Sniper 5 Elite for instance (PS5 Version) I start the game, click on Play and all of a sudden it restarts and says it was shut down incorrectly, (an example would be during a power outage when it shuts down and restarts and repairs the drive) well this is what it does and I have not turned it off. Nor was there a power outage So I tried Sniper 4 Elite (PS4 version) and it does the same thing! So after reading a post I restarted the system deleting everything and started loading the games again. Sniper 5 Elite just completed the download and the message was that I was able to play, and once again it shuts down, says it was turned off incorrectly and restarts with repairing the drive due to the power shutting off. Well I didn't turn the power off. This happens when trying to play the game, while in the game and I have a UPS therefore it is not a power outage. I tried contacting PSN support but their website no longer allows this. I tried Twitter and Facebook. There is no way to contact Playstation support. I guess I will have to send it in for repair" I'd give them a minus 5 stars if I could!
