      I’m in the process of quitting Reddit. It was weird, some person commented dozens of times and started reposting the same question on the same comment because we disagreed. After I asked the person to leave me alone (I know… I was naive and hopeful), they commented again with the same question multiple times, I told them to fuck off. I got flagged by Reddit for harassment and now I’m shadow banned. It’s basically made the app useless to me. I don’t get why that’s a policy, if they’re banning my account they should just tell me and give me a chance to appeal or just block it. Instead, they operate in this weird gray space of making the experience terrible so you just leave. Sad because I enjoyed a closed community there but the general mods are just the worst. Lemmy will probably be better for my mental health though so silver linings :)

        It’s because they hope you won’t notice it happened so there will be less work for them dealing with your complaints or new accounts. Even for people who aren’t fully shadowbanned, when their comments are removed it’s done in a similar way to hide from them that it happened. Reddit is designed to make sure admins and mods are not accountable (to the users) for their actions, and silence anyone who objects.

    Fun thing with sideloading Apollo app, you can now see the deleted and removed comments from people.

    Sometimes comments that are removed were genuine answers to questions, still wonder why these get removed. Other times it is just hilarious to see how mad people get towards strangers on the internet.

    You want to know the reason. This is what I said on reddit and they banned me for 3 days. It’s not even suggesting violence but instead a gathering outside the mansion. Reddit is literally defending Tim Sweeney even.

    “Let’s go raid just outside the mansion”

    I will never use reddit again.

    Add that to the fact that there are so many people/bots on Reddit that if you post a comment as little as an hour or two after something is posted, your comment will never been seen and interacted with.

    There’s really not much value left in Reddit other than looking up archived answers.
