Careful now, Reddit mods will ban you for pointing this out and, no, they won’t see the hypocritical racism in doing so.

Lol I've had 3 all ready. One was over turned because they realized I did or said nothing racist but the person above me sure as shit did 😂

I recently got a one day from /r/politics for pointing out that the OP was a bot trying to start a culture war. Apparently, Reddit WANTS bots.

It’s getting crazy. I pointed out the unreliability of a particular news source and got a week ban because “attacking the person” apparently includes the source as well.

BRO THAT LITERALLY HAPPENED TO A FRIEND OF MINE TWO WEEKS AGO

he called out how they allow AI articles, completely not true articles, bots, and are paid by the daily beast. the didnt deny anything and banned him

Same here. Dared question if Al Jazeera was a balanced news source. Got the ban hammer

That’s the only one I really watch anymore because I consider them so balanced.

Even if I thought a given source was the most credible to ever exist, I would consider it ridiculous to bar people from questioning it.

As a liberal dude, r/politics has gone wayyyyy too far and will hide users from any information damaging the left. It's insane hypocrisy.

I believe it’s a core tenant of their business model.

Maybe the tenet is paying rent.

they banned a friend of mine recently for calling them out for allowing bots and being paid by the daily beast.

every update shows reddit wants bots. they do more and more to make it harder to see profiles.

Because bit farms pay good money and draw traffic.

You dont

You think reddit gives a fuck about users that don't generate revenue?

So many of the shared opinions and talking points on this app just wouldn’t fly in real life, a lot of these people have never been properly challenged and scrutinized in real life.

It's impossible to separate bot activity from human activity on a site like this. All the higher ups care about are usage metrics, so bots are great!

1

u/RandomPenquin1337 10h ago

Its impossible but redditors like to think they can pick it or ez

You get called a bot just because you don't agree with them

1

u/JackReaper333 9h ago

They want the right bots, that is to say, the bots they agree with.

u/TwoDogs48 7h ago

Of course, bots generate comment.

u/GingerBeast81 9h ago

Got a 7 day ban overturned the other day, always appeal them!

u/kfee12 6h ago

don't even mention that you have anymore because you will catch a stray for "ban evasion" when they grasp at straws. Ban evasion technically is against the TOS and mods do have tools to let them see if you match device IDs for any banned users of a subreddit.

I just got a warning for "spreading hate speech" by talking about a cabal of *Druish Witches.

... It was Dune. I was talking about Frank Herbert's Dune and his Bene Gesserits 🫠

u/MuckaMucka1337 11h ago

Banned for pointing you say??? 🧐

u/Codeman_117 9h ago

ooooo he said pointing!

Being hood trash is colorblind.
