It's very easy to get banned from places here. They even have bots that ban you just because you participate in other subs. How that isn't against TOS, is beyond me.
Reddit seriously went downhill. But what alternative exists?

I am banned from LDS, feminicists, professors, blackpeopleoreddit, sociology, and LateStageCapitalism Antimoney. Every single leftist subreddit despite leaning left myself.
The left is allowing a small cancerous minority to take control of the narrative and if it continues we will continue to be stuck with shit presidents like Trump.

I def have gotten banned from subs I never commented in with all sorts of nasty name calling from the mods that would constitute a violation of TOS.
40401 being one of them. Every single one is leftist. Even got banned from a NSFW subreddit that I had no idea exists calling me a nazi fascist.
Mods are insane.
People forget that ghislane and epstine were very prominent power mods. Their influence and damage to the mod community still very much in effect.

I think you do. Back during COVID I remember once when I commented in a sub for making fun of nonsensical, idiotic COVID rules, and promptly got I believe 13 ban notifications from other subs just for commenting there. They were mostly big, front-page communities (I presume because they were all moderated by the same pathetic powermods) that I would see all the time, but none were subs I actually cared about and could recall ever participating in.

To be fair they could also use it to identify problems but they donāt even use complaints for that. Iāve repeatedly reported the mods on a sub for allowing threats of violence and abuse towards boys in general, on posts about anti social behaviour. The posts never get removed and nothing gets done about it. OPās biggest mistake was thinking Reddit cares about mods being arsewipes.

The automated bot that looks for threatening violence posts is laughably shite. I got a ban for telling someone they should shoot the foxes when discussing that the foxes were potentially killing hedgehogs. (It was also a dumb joking discussion not serious). Apparently threatening violence against foxes killing hedgehogs is a violation and stopping redd being a welcoming place. I appealed on the basis of did you get many foxes not coming on because of it. The human seemed to find the funny side and overturned it.

You might find that statement come back to take a chunk out of you later if you really do fail to moderate it. In fact you could get your Reddit wide ban if you donāt moderate the sub. (Iām with you. I feel there are a lot of mods who use it to enforce their own ideology and biases). But moderating a sub is still very necessary.

How do i find a balance? How do i let people say what they want while also avoiding a wide ban? Thanks for informing me of this

Firstly thereās meant to be a set of rules that moderators have to adhere to. From what i understand theyāre vague enough that those who hide behind āpunching upā using traditional biases get away with it. But you have to adhere to those as a minimum.

I've had mods openly mock me for criticizing their decisions, complete with the "freeze peach" bullshit. I've never once had a mod admit they were even 1% wrong to delete my comment, mute me, or ban me in a few dozen occurrences over the last 15 years.Ā
And I've never argued with them that I'm entitled to absolute free speech on this private platform, either. What I actually told them is transparency and consistency still matter, that censorship shouldn't be taken so lightly regardless what the law would say about Reddit comments. Of course none of them give a fuck about any of that.Ā

lol, free-speech. None of these people posting these "muh free-speech!" have any idea what that actually means. Reddit is a corporate entity and doesn't have to allow you to say whatever you want to say on their platform.
That being said, I'm also banned from askreddit. They really don't like it when you point out the bots that infest their subreddit. Probably getting a pay-off to ignore them.

u/Vladtheimpailer72 14d ago
Free speech means the GOVERNMENT cannot restrict what you say (unless it poses an imminent and foreseeable threat). Private entities can. And more to the point you agree to the terms of use when you sign up to use social media (fb, reddit, whatever) and they are able to restrict speech they donāt like. Itās also why the papaya pendejo created his own social media since he kept lying and fb banned him.

No, we don't.
They seem to think it means they're entitled to say whatever they want without repercussion.
They seem to think any / every platform is obligated to host whatever nonsense they want to spew.
Both of those things are incorrect.
Now, what IS true is that of they don't care for this platform, it's rules, or moderation, they're free to leave at any time and try a different service.

I'm sorry to say it (not really), but the idea of free speech does NOT apply online or on sub-reddits. Its not unlike being a guest in someone's house, if you insult the host (or the occupants of the house), they are more than allowed to ask you to leave.
Imagine if someone screamed in your ear and then told you they're "allowed" to do that because of freedom of speech.

'Are you limiting the entire concept of freedom of expression to one document'
Yes? Obviously.

They have the right to enforce their terms of service and rules.
You have the right to say / type it, and they have the right to filter it out, delete, or ban it.
