Reddit is trash. I got banned for hating on Nazis, they will bend to Trump, cut off porn and throw the ban hammer down. Reddit is only good for finding tech answers from the past. Everything else is trash.
I never got banned. I just left because the greedy little CEO is a liar that sacrificed the only thing that made the site good, 3rd party apps, on the alter of the almighty dollar during the API debacle.
To be honest the quality of posts, comments, and moderation policies had gone way down hill since at least 2020. The killing of 3rd party apps just gave me the motivation to finally leave
Wasn't that when they banned /r/chapotraphouse? 🤔
Seems to depend massively on the sub though, most I am in will never see a right winger above -20 and constantly mocked at best.
Though some subs I've been banned from over there the reasons were as simple as "criticizing China and/or Russia" or "participating in a specific other sub"
The subs I hang around in are currently the same to right wingers (downvoted to oblivion) but that's partly because attempting to participate in a lot of lefty subs over there you get banned for talking about China in a negative way. The other subs aren't political so those ones aren't too bad.
