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.

Bans people for things others do daily. But, they have their favorites and certain moderators pick and choose only to enforce the rules on those whose opinions they don't like. People say disgusting things and their accounts and comments are untouched. Don't believe their lies about following the "rules" they twist to cover their personal discrimination.

Obnoxious vitriolic trolls, some of them are moderators

/youtube and /twitter
The mods don't even approve your comments half the time

No point posting here, it's either trolls, or your comment doesn't even get posted

This is completely ridiculous. I get banned for 7 days for sending a text to a verified 27 year old woman. Who I texted and told them after talking back and forth for awhile that she should bring me to work and stick me under the desk. We text a few more minutes, I get off get back on and am banded for sending sexually explicit content to a minor. There are the pictures of her Verified account stating her age.

There is A LOT of problems from Reddit in general especially over the past few years where everyone seem to get in trouble over some petty BS on subreddits to can't even comment or post about a certain subreddit that you want too due to low "Karma" on your account. It makes no sense to me either and can see why it drives away people from using that website. And the "Blackout" that happen earlier this year which was just jarring to watch because it only happen a few days for the protest to be ineffective because you know... A lot of sub reddits was back in business like nothing have ever happened and Reddit is a million dollar company so it takes more than a few days at least for the entire company see a noticeable decline for profit that can cause great effects for the company to maybe change for the better? This is all for 3rd party applications that going to (or was since some did got discontinue due to this policy change) charged WAY too much money to even be used to the public by reddit standards. Some admins on certain threads on different sub's are too much of a $#*! to deal with and honestly I rather not be friends with most of them...

Besides all of that negative stuff that I have seen and encountered Reddit isn't a bad place to visit time to time with sub-reddits that you pick and choose. And it's fairly straightforward to block out and hide content that you really do not want to see. It's one of the only few websites that I actively go on and see what people say about certain things of life events or advice in general. It's still a decent enough tool to use but that's what I mainly use it for. Since it is a social media platform with all kinds of people using it you will encounter some $#*!s, idiots and not so bright people on there. Some will just simply ignore you which in that case, $#*! 'em.

I joined Reddit many years ago, it was a helpful place, you could get help with all manner of things, now though the majority of it is just pure vile trash, it's run by conspiracy nuts, it's mods are power hungry arseholes, it's not a safe place to be, many of its users are predatory, hating in anything different, they form gangs/cliques and terrorise other members, I have seen it go from a place to get help and hang out with like minded people and discuss things to every second post being conspiracy or hate fueled garbage. If you value you mental health stay away from Reddit, it will suck your will to live and leave you a shell of your former self.

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!

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
