Reddit keeps banning subreddits.

submitted by AwakenedAntinatalist from self.RedditCensors

It's honestly quite sad. It makes you wonder what purpose anyone has to use reddit anymore at this point. Almost every sub now has gotten banned for one reason or another.

Even though I still go on there for quite a few things. It's abundantly clear that it's getting impossible to use it everyday. I don't really understand the point of using reddit anymore when it's become so bad you can't even discuss anything without the 1984 mentality raining down on you.

Why don't you post here which subreddits were banned exactly?

Here's a list of some higher profile ones:

At a passer by, it would appear they are doing good by banning things that are toxic, but it's a slippery slope.

They outright ban anything that doesn't match the admin's political views, while letting toxic behavior slide if it does align with their political views.

As a result, the site is stuffed full of "yes men" moderators, and a userbase that is afraid to express any type of independent thought. There is no room for critical thought or debate outside the heavily curated and shallow comments that are allowed to see the light of day.

Reddit got taken over by a couple of psychopath trannies that want the world to pay for making fun of them. Its why you can curse and rant so long as you share the exact same opinion, but you cant say ghey or newfag. Either that or it's a right-wing conspiracy to make people hate the left.

All because Reddit didn't know what to do about porn. It brought loads of traffic and assured their dominance over Digg, etc., but nobody wanted to sort through all the nasty stuff. The people who like doing that effectively seized control of moderation.

The pedos/trannies... it's making sense. Who else would tirelessly work for free to be able to be internet police? Nobody but the biggest basement dwelling losers.

Even before internet existed, hundreds of years ago, revolutionaries had to talk in code.

What do we think Thomas Paines common sense was really about. The only advantage we have over the elites is we' have reality on our side.

It's a case where we have to believe that God sides with the ones that stand for the truth.

"Almost every sub now has gotten banned for one reason or another." .... all except far left subs.

Not just far left subs, any sub that doesn't kiss the ass of the LBGTQWERTY political movement. Simply saying "it's not for me, so you guys do your thing, I'll do mine" is considered a hate crime.

You have to tip toe around everything you post. The mods are children who will ban you for whatever they feel like.

It has been subverted several years ago. It will never change.

Bless their hearts.

It's a real shame because I love the infrastructure, but can't abide by the overt leftist horseshit that dominates a majority of subs.

One of the weirdest things about Reddit, is that it allows subs up that basically encourage minors to trip on benadryl and do serious damage to their brains, yet won't allow a gender critical sub...

But according to Reddit this is totally cool! Should stay up! No harm here!

What?
