My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven’t looked back)

    Oh yeah I got IP banned for “abusing the report button” by reporting a literal call for violence against trans people. I had to use a VPN to browse that shitty site. In retrospect, I don’t know why I bothered.

      I also got an IP ban alongside it, mind you I was proposing drowning the leaders of the UAE and Saudia Arabia. I was on NCD so I figured no one would care enough to report it, mind you my two previous strikes were from 2016, so who fucken knows what I said then.

      I used to check in on againsthatesubs and report shitty content and new (usu replacement) hate subs that popped up. Admin barely cared about that shit

        Yeah, I was on that sub as well, occasionally. I respect Bardfinn, the lead mod of AHS, but they used to tell me that accounts were restored on appeal if moderators retaliated by reporting users for “abusing the report button,” but my appeal was never accepted, and it was a clear instance of mod retaliation. I finally shared that experience when I was on my way out of the site for good.
