Reddit will ban you for even the mildest of takes. Their AI admin is draconian in metering out bans. The platform seems to really want to get rid of all of the pesky humans still there and just be a safe space for bots.
I honestly don't know how anyone stays on Reddit very long. They permaban people for ANYTHING these days. They abdicated their site to psychopathic, power-tripping mods.
Just for context, Ghislane Maxwell was a Reddit mod.
It's not even worth lurking there. Every post is just five "original" comments, and then everything below those are people repeating the same five comments a hundred times.
Puns, so many puns...
