Those in control of Reddit are implementing an 'Information Control' purge of users, likely to prepare for the US elections, with the reasons given for bans often being fake.

It's "Orwellian", not even worth appealing, because even if they grant my request, they'll just find some other way of putting me in a box for not conforming. Besides, fuck that.

Reddit has become bizarre.

It's chock-full of the most disgusting pornography ('ass to mouth', etc.,), but if you say stuff like 'women are female', all hell breaks loose, the compliant/brainwashed report you and their thought-police inquisitors ban you, ... for being 'offensive'!?

It's clown world.

    Reddit mods generally tackle the problem of humor by categorizing it as harassment, misinformation, or threatening violence to justify their banning users whose thinking does not align with the approved speech. My banishment award excuse was the third option.

    It's Orwellian. No other way to describe it imo.

    It is indeed. "1984" functions as a how-to guide to monitoring/controlling speech.

      I really hate what reddit has become. Honestly, if I look at my own participation it's been mainly about karma-whoring and self-gratification almost since I first began participating and I've gotten really bad over the past few years. I'm actually grateful they removed all my posts and comments because for the most part they suck ass and its obvious they were written by someone who is deeply insecure and needs other people to validate them. That and also way too much sharing, which is why I think that saidit is a better option for me, I'll need to be more willing not to constantly share 24/7 there simply isn't enough content being generated to allow for it. Does this mean that reddit is guilt free? Fuck no, reddit is by design (intentional or not) a censorship system. It's a hardcore marketing system where the people who contribute don't even really realize that they are being sold down the river to commercial interests... I liken it to a heroin pusher, trying to get new junkies hooked on their product.

      They decide they want you gone, and then make up a reason. You can’t go against the grain there.
