Reddit even has a subreddit about unpopular opinions. And 90% of it is just popular opinions/well known facts but said in an edgy and pandering way.

[@jzay1899]

I got my post killed on unpopular opinion because they used a automod bot that flagged my post for using a restricted word but didn't specify what the word was in my 400 word post. It wasn't a swear word. The post was clean. The automod bots email encouraged me to email the mods if I wanted to understand how their filters worked and so I did. I just asked which word the filter caught so I could avoid it in the future. No response, just banned for "spamming the mod". Dicks

"Don't be a Redditor; be a person who uses Reddit." This reminded me of the fact that Redditors argue over the validity of other Reddit users' opinions _unironically_ based on their karma/upvote score. Like they unironically point out how much karma they have as a hail-mary attempt to win an argument. (Except they don't see it as a hail-mary attempt, but an actual legitimate way to delegitimize somebody's opinion LMAO.) It's the equivalent of the pathetic/weird non-argument of going into somebody's Facebook profile and posting their profile pic in the comment thread. (But if the "victim" of this act was making fun of somebody else's looks in the first place, then I understand posting _their_ profile pic to give them a taste of their own medicine)

During the very short time I used reddit (I wanted to see what all the hype was about), I noticed that there's a huge problem with dogpiling in comment sections. It seems that everyone immediately dogpiles onto someone who has a different opinion or argument and mass downvote them without even bothering to think and listen, so it ends up discouraging people who want to share a different point of view from saying anything because of the mob mentality, so comment sections end up being echo chambers and that can easily become very toxic and dangerous.

[@AT-vp8qw]

Yes, HUGE emphasis on the echochamber part. I understand maybe debating someone with different opinions than you, but it's pointless if you're not open minded or receptive to changing your mind. People will dogpile on to someone just to reinforce their own beliefs and get that extra dopamine hit of having their opinions validated. This even goes outside of reddit or social media. It seems like people in general refuse to use their brains capacity to think outside themselves and everything they believe to be true. It does nothing but keeps us and humanity stagnant.

[@isa_the_icequeen]

Not a big Reddit page, but I got banned from a page that discusses a YA book series (it's A Court of Thorns and Roses) because basically I disagreed with the mob one too many times. I was trying to point out some flaws in the series and how I would change them (I'm also a writer and find critiquing other works is a good way to keep my own skills sharp). I got the usual "if you hate the series, why are you here" and I said "don't hate the series, it's one of my favorites, but that doesn't make it perfect". Got banned for harassment. All because the mob ganged up on me and I fought back. It's a microcosm of the larger issue on Reddit, and social media in general, that mob mentality is as prevalent today as it was in the days of witch burning. People ask "how could so many have let that atrocity happen?" and the simple answer is, no one wants to go against the crowd because its a common, inherently human, trait to want to be liked and in our minds, you must think alike to be accepted. And the other reason is that people are afraid to stick out and go against the crowd, are afraid of the mob overtaking them and shutting them down again. I still think Twitter is worse than Reddit about the mob mentality though, imo. I've seen so many threads where people make inflammatory statements and then say "I'm turning off notifications, so don't even try to argue with me" and they also alter the ability of who can respond to the post *cough* Amber Heard *cough* because they're afraid of having to explain their view point, because they know they can't.

I got permanently banned from r/offmychest because of an innocuous comment I made that wasn't pandering. - Girl is venting because her bf rudely dismisses her claim of being unknowingly "needle spiked" causing her to black out while she was out drinking at the club while he was at work - She made it home alone that night despite being "blacked out" and didn't even call her bf to let him know until a day later - She says she's been r4yped a couple times before over the past 3 years when clubbing while her bf was at work I just called her out on her bs, stating that her boyfriend was probably tired of her going to the club alone while he's at work especially after she's claimed to be assaulted which could've had an equally sus story and that the relationship isn't going to last. I was downvoted into oblivion saying that I'm victim blaming and that her boyfriend is the one who's a POS for brushing it off and that she should leave him. Then my comment was deleted and I was banned by the moderator who undoubtedly had either a fedora, pink hair, or both. Reddit is an echo chamber of parotting each other's opinions looking to seek approval and virtual pats on the back from the herd. They are practically NPCs who need other people to tell them what to think and are too scared to form their own opinions. It's not a loss as I've only ever posted a handful of times there because I can't stand the community, especially after growing up on 4chan.

I would harass anyone who said ANYTHING bad about Sierra and try to defend her with annoying baby talk, and when I was called out for it I would ignore them and keep going. It was hard deactivating my account because I did manage to find a lot of nice people, but it made me so chronically online that I lost my ability to have real-world interactions and engage in real-world activities.

Reddit users have been awfully vindictive and malicious. I've got nothing but the past two elections to thank, as to how rampant the toxicity levels have gotten on that platform. Just in this entire year alone rather, past couple months, I've had the following happen to me: I would get brigaded for expressing honest, non-instigating opinions. Downvote parades would happen, I'd get confrontational users who'd swipe at me with a snarky remark then blocking me after. I've gotten accounts banned because the hate from them was so great, that even when my account wasn't violating any rules, there must've been alts or a small band of people that hated me so badly to orchestrate a ban on my account. They've even gotten my throwaway account banned too and it only has one post to it, where I post for mental health reasons. I keep coming back, just to show them that I will not be intimidated by their childish antics to stop using a platform. A platform that they feel that they own because what, they farm for karma? That they feel like their tenure staggers mine and other users in my position and that their say is law? No, to me, they're just names on a freaking platform. Nothing more. My advice for people who use reddit - avoid opinion-based subreddits at all costs. Nothing good can come from them, a lot of them are harbored by tense and edgy individuals who'll spin everything and anything out of context to make themselves seem righteous in the end. Avoid politically-based subreddits too if you can help it. Avoid even venting subreddits too which is hard to do because some days you want to vent. But even that is filtered because everyone practically judges your vent on whether or not it's valid, when it doesn't matter because all you want to do is vent. Reddit is just full of self-righteous, self-patting, no-life, arm-chair keyboard warriors with too much damn time on their hands to do what they do.

[@xrenegade87xchannel88]

That sounds an awful lot like KZbin commenters

[@qwertydog9795]

In my experience, it really just depends on the day. I've had spirited discussions with people on there about politics and nothing happened (other than fuming on both sides I imagine). But then I was randomly banned from r/whatisthisthing permanently. I'm also a part of a few ex-religious subreddits and those haven't been toxic at all that I've been aware of.

Whenever I need help and information about international travel (trip cost, food & drink, culture, people, etc.), my choice is both KZbin and Tripadvisor, and I am thankful for that. People on Reddit like r/travel and r/solotravel give out crap on their own and make false statements about your future trip because they act like they are pro-expert of everything or they have experienced, that's why I quit Reddit.

[@rainbow20112011]

Reddit is where people go to let out their anger. People on there are full of anger from their lives, and instead of killing other people, they choose a more "mellow", non-violent way of letting out their rage and anger...and that is through Reddit.

[@Rye-jl2fk]

And that would be totally cool if being angry at someone didn't mean censoring their comments and banning them from the subreddit. I couldn't care less if people downvote me or say horrible stuff to me. It's the censorship I truly can't stand and the commies at Reddit are well aware of this.

I got banned from r/techsupport after a guy was saying he was concerned about a noise his computer was making (it was the discord notification) and I asked "Do you have discord?" They mod thought I was trying to get him to talk on discord so he banned me. Simple misunderstanding right? I explain the situation and he's all like "no apology? No unban" Guess reddit mods can never be wrong ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

[@Nerdbookworm]

Recently left it due to how idiotic their mods are. I reached out to a domestic violence victim because she was upset and suicidal and because I said “kill” in my message ( I said “please don’t kill your self”) I got IP perma banned for “threatening violence”

[@pro-hz7kx]

@littlebabysicecream666 it’s most likely that someone pressed to report you. That report is usually used to troll someone when in argument or just simple trolling

[@Gojiraon]

I got downvoted on reddit for saying that someone was misinterpreting a statistic to fit their narrative and explained what it ACTUALLY means. In terms of sheer toxicity, twitter and reddit are very similar if not equally as toxic (Ive been on both). Twitter is just way funnier and watching drama and arguments go down is actually entertaining af. Redditors just downvote any stuff that doesn’t align with their ideologies. They think their opinions matter that much.

[@coleman4840]

Reddit is just one of those apps that really pisses me off. Especially when it comes down to politics. Anybody who identifies as a Republican on that app is struck down almost instantly. Sure I may not agree with the Democrats, but I’m always willing to understand their opinions no matter how much I disagree. Reddit is full of crybabies and asocial people. I feel that everybody is entitled to voice their opinions, even if you may not agree with the other person, but at least be respectful.

[@PaperBanjo64]

That's my main complaint against Reddit, especially the NASCAR sub.

[@harrietxo2310]

I've been participating a Harry Potter subreddit for months and violated one of their rules in a comment. I know I'm wrong but I don't deserve to be banned permanently then get muted after I apologize multiple times to the mod. Those self righteous, entitled power abusing mods who have no consciousness about forgiveness and fairness. They're literally like the Umbridge in reddit.

[@TaintedSoulSilver]

When I regularly used reddit I was depressed as fuck. Constantly being dogpiled on for saying something while watching someone else word my exact point in a slightly different way get praise on praise. People immediately attacking me instead of asking for clarification. Often then refusing to apologize for their misunderstanding even when the issue was solely their fault. Mods, as said in the video, deciding they don't like one thing you said and banning you while letting their toxic buddies run absolutely rampant. Incels that talk about how other human beings should be forced to give them intimacy either socially or by government mandate. Talking about murdering, raping, ect out in the open without any real consequences. The bullying, the harassment... people following your every post just to downvote it and silence you because you said one thing they didn't like three months ago. Fuck reddit and the people that use it.

[@GameStoryArchive1]

Redditors love to dogpile

[@LittleKitty22]

I came across a KZbin channel some time ago where incels were openly discussing how best to grape women and children and get away with it, how to physically abuse women etc. The channel owner, who has meanwhile been arrested and is to my knowledge in prison (I hope so!!! I only heard about it because he is quite well known), was heavily promoting that. I only came across that channel because a then friend, who I didn't yet know was an incel and a serial killer, had sent me a link and I had no idea what it was about. Anyway, I was so shocked I was physically sick. Then this channel was being discussed on another channel. People were all saying how great and wonderful the channel owner of the above mentioned channel was. I was the only person who pointed out that he actually promoted extreme violence including grape and murder. I was being inundated and I do mean inundated with threats, death threats, bullying, personal insults etc for months afterwards... I'm going through similar now again though not related to that channel but simply because I pointed something out that I have personal experience of, on a thread where everybody was saying what they WANT to believe, though none have the personal experience. Same thing again... weeks and weeks of getting inundated with personal insults, death threats, curses, wishes for the worst... All on KZbin, never been on Reddit.

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

The Reddit communities have way too many rules. You go to upload a perfectly legitimate post to a community, and it ends up being removed. Seems like there's a very very narrow margin of acceptable posts in these communities.

[@EdgeO419]

and the rules are so vague for the specific purpose of the mods misinterpreting their own vague rules to ban people for "breaking the rules"

[@elderlycatpatriot]

I once saw Reddit described as "A group of mentally ill and uneducated far left political activists pretending that their thoughts and ideas are popular because the rest of the world has rightfully shunned them" and that's honestly the best description I've ever heard. I've also seen it described as "If Brian Griffin made his own website" and that's pretty good too.

I'm really tempted on getting rid of Reddit. I once asked for advice on there (Ik, bad idea) about a big argument me and my friend had. It wasnt extremely serious, but since I have OCD, it tends to repeat in my head a lot. I asked if my reaction was overexaggerated, and what should I do now? They called me a bitch, an asshole, saying "How could you get mad, your friend clearly cares about you, you're awful" even saying i should get therapy, despite them not knowing me. That mentally screwed with me, idk anymore.

Sorry that happened to you. It has nothing to do with you. Unfortunately reddit attracts and keeps evil people. Asking for help is a trap on reddit.

As a former redditor myself from March 2021 to March 2022( so one yr ) i’m ashamed to even have been on there for that long, and boys that I learn a lot on Reddit since. I’m glad I have deleted the app as of now. It’s like the most toxic Fanbase since Facebook and Twitter(even though I’ve never been on Twitter but have browsed on the website before Elon changed it to where you have to sign in to browse ugh). But now that reddit has been deleted permanently from my phone I can focus on the real world instead of the social media world. I mean with the exception of being on KZbin here, but this is different. Would I ever recommend reddit for anyone to try out? No, hell no in fact, in fact screw all social media sites and apps(except KZbin because I know it’s not a social media platform I think) Edit: i’m sure if Reddit was a safe haven I would be there longer but it’s just an ugly mess with creeps pedos and weirdos alike(no offense to anyone who still uses Reddit)
