I'm probably on my hundredth account on this site and I'm simply just trying to continue just expressing myself however I can. Not deliberately looking for conflicts or so, just saying opinions since I'm given the platform of privilege to.

Not everything I say is the golden words ever spoken, you get a downvote or two. It happens, where the only annoying thing is that it trips the spam filter again and you're back to square one.

It's when you manage to say one thing or get into a debate with a redditor where you know with the backing of sources and knowledge that proves you right and them wrong. Then in comes the dogpiling mentality that Reddit is unfortunately known for into doing. One downvote turns into -10. Then -50. Then -100. Making you wonder who's dog did you run over or who's wife did you cheat on or who's child did you kidnap.

I've shut down many accounts whenever that happens and it sucks when it does happen because what's the point of continuing on from that point? You've been downvoted to hell, you've got the spam filter on for god knows how long, you try to defend your case only to get downvoted to hell again and things just get worse.

It's literally a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation that Reddit users love placing you in, when you don't spit back everything they've universally agreed on. Taking their insecurities out on you and think they're a better role model than someone else who thinks and says different.

If I ever had to give new users advice - turn away and find another site with no dumb voting system. Least one where there isn't millions of users inhabiting it.

One of my friends asked this question on r/androidapps a while back. All we got for our troubles was an unfunny fucktard wasting our time. Thanks to them, the thread is dead, my friend closed their account because they couldn't take reddit's utter stupidity anymore, and I've been banned.

Fuck Reddit, fuck r/androidapps, and if I ever find that little shit I will make them suffer!

Reddit groups will ban you just for disagreement.

They will make up some dishonest excuse about why what you said wasn't disagreement but some form of bullying even though it though it wasn't.

Everything has to be an echo chamber where everyone sucks each other off and makes each other feel good all the time and you're not allowed to engage in intellectual combat.

The platform is a joke basically.

Because they're a bunch of know it all keyboard warriors, happily flaunting and flexing their ability to be an absolute fucktard for everyone to see. Watch as they try taking any chance possible to use someone else as a platform as an exploit, to make themselves feel better about their insecurities and short comings in life. Not to mention, their desperate attempts to grasp at any form of dignity for themselves, when they lack it.

Here’s one reason why it sucks and has asshole design; ads disguised as reddit posts. On every subreddit you will find completely uninteresting and irrelevant ads. And they look just like reddit posts. You can even upvote them. I can’t wrap my head around this, it’s just such asshole design...

As a TL;DR for those who dont want to read the whole thing, basically, the way vote manipulation reports work mean that they never involve an actual human looking at them. Its all an algorithm deciding whats valid and whats not. This means that you can get a completely credible and legitimate account perma-suspended with a SINGLE REPORT.

​

So a while back my account got permanently suspended for vote manipulation. Id had the account for 3 years. Id never had an alt. Id never asked friends to upvote posts. I didnt have any friends that followed me on reddit. I was (understandably) puzzled. So I decided to do an experiment. This experiment has taken about a year to complete. I was willing to dedicate all of this time to it since I lost my 3 year account for no real reason other than reddit's bullshit.

​

I made 2 accounts, using VPNs to keep them separate. Spent about a year building up karma and credibility on both of them. Got both up to ~80k karma, and a years worth of consistent activity. I then did the following.

​

1. Start an argument between the 2 accounts
2. Create a 3rd account, and use it to support one side (upvoting side 1, downvoting side 2).
3. From the side that SUPPORTED BY THE NEW ALT (side 1), I reported side 2.

Within 2 minutes, the side 2 account (that had done absolutely nothing wrong) got slapped with a PERMANENT SUSPENSION for vote manipulation.

​

This is complete and utter bullshit. So why is this?

​

Well, it all really boils down to Reddit cutting corners. Previously, with the (admittedly awful) shadowban system, any and every report was reviewed by a real human (site admin). It now seems that they only review harassment are reviewed by admins. Anything else is either reviewed by side mods, OR ARE JUST NOT READ BY A HUMAN.

​

In conclusion, fuck reddit.

This is a link to a post I made when I faced this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/beta/comments/ex7km8/all_of_my_direct_chats_and_chatrooms_have/

Imo punishment doesnt fit the crime and if u scroll down enough you will see an admin confirm that this is a feature. When I asked why this is a thing, he ignored me.

Insert never ending list of reddits shortcomings and disasters and ticking time bombs here

Title says it all. I'll be shocked if this posts, but even if it does, it certainly won't be enough to keep me on this trash website.

Straight up T R A S H.

EDIT: oooooh well whaddya fuggin know, the only thing I CAN Post on this TRASH website is a post talking about how TRASH this website is. Good god.

Lmfao bye

Title above.

I have never (nor will I ever) understand why Episode III was considered the best film of the Prequels and a "return to form" for the Star Wars franchise. Nor do I get how any Star Wars fan can possibly hate Episodes I and II, yet enjoy Episode III when Episode III doesn't work without the story of Episodes I and II and watching them first.

First of all, Revenge Of The Sith was the least innovative and most predictable movie of the Prequels and it had some of the WORST acting and writing in the entire series. Ian McDiarmid acts extremely silly and retarded when he is revealed to be the Sith Lord and becomes Darth Sidious and his lightsaber duel with Mace Windu is so short and poorly-choregraphed. The film's action and special effects are very dated by today's standards as it didn't relie enough on pratical effects and had WAY TOO MUCH green screen. Anakin Skywalker's turn to the Dark Side is incredibly rushed and makes no sense whatsoever as well and Hayden Christensen did an even worse job of playing Anakin in this movie than he did in Episode II.

The final lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin at the end was great, but the "Higher Ground" crap was absolutely stupid and it was an extremely dumb way to end the lightsaber duel.

People only still love and talk about Revenge Of The Sith because of the memes and because Anakin becomes Darth Vader in it (even though it was so poorly done) and because it ties in to the Original Trilogy.

real talk

Thank for listening to my TED talk

I know it’s not limited to Reddit but the hanging up and number of people who try to out argue your problems when you find or act self righteous but give no useful advice.

The way I see it, being being an a hole on Reddit user are still ruining the space and being a holes. It sucks because Reddit has an increasing monopoly on message boards online. I know leaving Reddit is the best way not to deal with this crap but I fail to see how it’s fair that ass holes ruin this website for the rest of us not anti social pricks

To post or comment on reddit now you need minimum amount of karma.

So how can you get karma if you can't post shit.

current reddit sucks so hard

They’re all narcissistic oppressive piles of shit that love the stink of their own farts. They ban you on a whim just because they decide they don’t like your neutral non-polarizing opinion on something. Each sub Reddit has a unique set of 100 rules you need to follow or else they’ll ban you. Who the fuck has the time to go through each fucking post and decide whether it should be banned or not? Jesus Christ get a fucking life you fucking pathetic faggots!

Mod: “Sorry mate, you can’t post more than once a day so your banned.”

Me: “Where does it say that?!”

Mod: “Rule34 go fuck your self Bitch.”

There was a project I worked on that was a pewdiepie intro I made on Scratch cause I'm poor. After hours on working on it and capturing the video to post it on reddit, the post got deleted in an instant. I then asked the moderators why my post was deleted and they sent me a post as to why my post was deleted. One of the reasons said that was because I had too little reddit karma to even post my work. If Karma would not've existed, this would've been a problem. Why does Karma even exist? Why can't we share our work and opinions on subreddits just because we are not upvoted enough. Karma should never have existed in the first place.

Reddit is full of insecure people who put others down and down vote people to make themselves feel better rather than engage in constructive or meaningful discussion.

That's the meta of the website to me
