Reply to comment by effieokay in Reddit cracked down on revenge porn, creepshots with twofold spike in permabans by thawingSumTendies

Though I think reddit has been a little overzealous in their suspensions lately. Like the mods of /r/girlfriendreviews got suspended for playing Hogwarts Legacy on stream and being harassed for it. Which is ridiculous.

And more and more I see accounts that are suspended for I don't even know what. A reddit post will turn up in a search result and it will be very helpful, then I click the user to see more from them, and they are suspended.

They can't all be up to some shady shit.

It really feels like reddit is overall getting worse and worse, and I can't help but think it's at least partially due to permabanning good users.

Power hungry mods that ban or suspend for spurious reasons and an ineffectual appeal process, or when you try and reason with the mod teams about it they just reply with some snarkasm

People wanna blame the mods, but overall the issue is the fact that Reddit won't pay the money to hire people to moderate. They rely on whoever is willing to just do it for free in their own spare time, and there are no concrete guidelines on how to do it. You can't be surprised that the moderation is shit, blame Reddit instead.

I'll take a few fools getting suspended cause of a game over revenge porn being on the platform any day of the week, but suit yourself.

Is it gatekeeping? Ive just hecome aware on another sub about the gatekeeping shit stains that edit on wiki. What you and others describe re cherry picking and banning certain subs has me thinking its a similar structure in terms of gatekeeping basement bros&petty nonsense.

Also notice I cant find one single sub for tenant rights in ontario that is active? The one I found only allows "trusted users" to post and has ZERO posts itself other than the initial welcome etc etc. Seems landord stacked in the other subs.

Im new to this environment but late to the party as it seems. Overall I've found it helpful and more engaging than social media nonsense...but eek. This all sounds like a fucking mess.
