Reddit

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 hate this because of two reasons. One is that, when a post of mine is removed by a mod because it doesn't fit their pages topic, it makes my original post look awful and misunderstood. Two is because, there is always that one person on every one of my post that comments something nasty, inappropriate, or offensive. Sure I could down vote it but in all reality, no one wants to see that… I've been using this app for 6 months and I love it it's just my only problem with it is that when a post is deleted the comments are not. I like this app however because you can get some pretty helpful advice from people on here and you can read some interesting stuff.

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

My account was banned permanently banned from Reddit after my husband got banned. We obviously live in the same house, have the same iCloud login, and even our accounts have the same email (mine)

I cannot even get anyone to speak with me! No one responds to my support requests, I tried to make a new account and it got banned again- I had even asked about making a new account and still got no response. They are blatantly ignoring me and I'm pretty sure it's because they don't believe me! It's a company run by losers who want to make peoples lives difficult just because they can. Power trip.
