Reddit

I came to reddit only for the sake of one group to discuss topic that I am interested in. I started to make comments, and first of all, on my second (!) comment it said I am doing it too much, so I have to wait n-minutes. Next, after I finally submitted 3 comments, and spent time writing them... they just deleted it because i am a new user and I need to quote "lurk" for some time! This is such a nonsense. I never seen big social website which was made so user unfriendly. If not this specific group, I would never come back. Still not sure if I will. Really made me feel that they don't care about their users.

Reddit is the kind of place where if you write the sentence "Hitler was a Nazi and said he didn't like jews," you will be banned for hate speech. Mods will witch hunt users they don't like permanently banning them. The entire sites viewpoints lean so far left they are bordering on fascism and the amount of anti-American content regurgitating bots is so large that posts from 10 years ago will get dig up on re-posted on a weekly basis.

It is an awful place for discussion if you don't plan on being a parrot for ultra liberal ideology leaving the same 50 or so comments on every post. Can you even call that a discussion?

No.

Reddit is going out of it's way to actively harm it's user base. They've demonstrated they value nothing but money and will happily introduce harmful policies to achieve greater profits. Their default app is unusable.

There are a lot of ads that disguise themselves as posts from your most visited sub by stealing its group icon. Its deceptive and degenerate.

Moderators can flag you as "troll" or any other humiliating title, single you out and ban anyone who doesn't share their viewpoint.

What you're left with are echo chambers of toxic people who think they can insult whatever group they want with impunity because the moderators of the group share the same hatred for the group.

Sometimes you post and no one even looks at your post or comments on it? How do you know whether others can see it? Sorry, you don't meet some karma limit or other unknown requirement for posting on a group. It's frustrating.

If someone in your household gets banned, you get banned also. No way to argue the ban.

I leave Reddit more miserable than before I look at it. So thanks Reddit, I'll leave you with a 1 star, that's what you get for treating your users like garbage.

I was warned that stating that I didn't understand could you please elaborate in my words was inappropriate. I tried to reply as if it were communist China communication. For whatever reason I was still blocked with an error message stating something went wrong... this platform has gone from bad to worse in the worst way. I can't even say "I would like to view this article, do you happen to have the source?" Hmmm... reddit is no longer reputable in my book.

I've written about Election '16 for over a year. I always write about understanding people's apprehension with Trump and why I would never have voted for Clinton. Each post I make on this subject I get a slap on the wrist email telling me how disrespectful I am and if I keep it up I will be banned. My blogs are mostly humorous and always fair. There is never profanity but I always get warnings. Reddit should state up front that only liberals are welcome to share.

I signed up for reddit to get some answers about some internet issues I was having and they removed my post. Then a few days later I posted a question in "cars" asking about labor rates at dealerships (did NOT mention the dealership or location in post) because I thought I was overcharged and they immediately removed the review. What in thee hell is wrong with this site? I closed my account after fighting to find how to do so on their site. Ugh! Go somewhere else if you want answers.

I was puzzled about why some of my experiences using reddit had happened, until I read the other reviews.

This cesspool is inhabited by the most vile, vicious, petty people you can possibly imagine. I have never encountered such hateful people in my entire life. Worse, the problem is endemic on reddit.

These apparently-bullied and marginalized individuals live on reddit and, according to their profiles, play video games. And nothing else. School shooters in the making. I learned from other reviewers here that apparently some of these abhorrent people are actually mods!

These wastes of protoplasm spend their pathetic lives trolling other users and leaving vulgar replies to thoughtful, intelligent comments. I clicked "Report" for one of these replies and was banned. Apparently, the attacker has a lot of influence.

Anyone who has made large numbers of posts and comments is rewarded with "Karma" on reddit, regardless of the quality of their "contributions." Quantity is all that matters and the more of it a psychopath can spew, the more they're valued by reddit.

This is a truly HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE platform!

It's absolutely horrible with what Facebook just went through regarding their lack of control of bullying and content on their site. Reddit is no different and the moderators on some subs seem to do a pretty decent job while others have a false sense of power to ban people or do nothing. I was actually banned for two days for stating that I thought a particular actor on a TV show was "terrible". I laughed. One of the worst things about it is you can't really report a moderator for their infraction of the rules because when you do… Reddit doesn't even bother to contact you back, so nothing happens.

I think the absolute worst thing is The bullying from people that are too mentally small to do their own research. They feed off one another like the children they are so if you want to have an intelligent conversation about something… It's nearly impossible. I guess it's a matter of trying to find the right site for intelligent conversations, if there is such a thing.

Just started to post on reddit.com. A bit scary and shocked. First this website gives you the impression to be very correct. It is not. Moderators run this website like a junta. They block post for whatever reason. The overall attitude is very bad. Bashing, trashing and trolling. Only negative posts gets all the karma. Most members imo are college students or youngster in their early twenties/thirties. Not the most social group. Very nasty and picky. Scary

One of the many dangers of Reddit, much like Wikipedia, is the fact that anyone can publish links to the site in the hope of having their content seen and it making the fabled front page. The problem is that unlike Wikipedia what they enter doesn't have to be accurate, truthful or even real.
The moderators often will ban you if they don't like your opinion even if said respectfully. Very biased and promotes group think not critical thinking.

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.

A forum moderator falsely accused me of being an "alt" account", and when I responded to explain that I was not, I was banned and muted. The accusation was clearly based entirely on this individual's personal assumption, and doesn't even make sense contextually.

I am now left with no recourse to contact anyone or overturn the ban, as I am 'muted'. Ultimately I am pretty angry about being falsely accused of something with no basis. I have never been treated like this on any other website or forum I have been involved in.

Steer clear of this forum.

I can't even freaking post for 6 minutes after having to redo my question twice already for not meeting it's specific af criteria of a question. I just want some freaking help with my problem and reddit won't let me ASK.

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
