I kept getting shadow banned constantly. My comments ending up with 1 view no up or down votes. For completely arbitrary reasons as well. And I got completely banned from a few communities by accidentally using extremist terminology (?).
And yes I don't doubt they removed it for a reason, it makes it a much less friendly place. Like you're putting down and directly affecting the other person rather than just disagreeing. It's hard to explain.
The astonishing part is how they manage to both be overly heavy-handed on moderation and STILL keep floating a fuckton of racism and other bigotry to the top.
That's similar to how I learned about Reddit's stance on punching Nazis.
