Wenn ein Plattform aufhört, das zu sein, was sie vorgibt, zu sein, so sollte diese ihre Türen zusperren, es ist bei Firmen ebenfalls so, also hat es auch für Reddit zu gelten. Man propagiert sich selbst als "Herz des Internets", als freie, offene Diskussionsplattform, doch in Wahrheit ist es eine PR-Plattform mit Internet-Diktatur in übelster Weise. Willkürliche Moderation, überflutet von Bots, Subreddits, die konsequent "sauber" gehalten werden durch Löschen von kritischen Threads, Trolling scheinbar erlaubt, Hass, Beleidigungen und weiteres dieser Kategorie an der Tagesordnung. Reddit ist faktisch keine Diskussionsplattform, gibt jedoch weiterhin vor, eine zu sein. Für diese Lüge ist selbst dieser eine Stern nicht verdient, es ist schlichtweg zu viel.

Reddit is trash ran by lazy mods and 99% by AI. They will ban every single account you have if you accidentally post on a subreddit that banned you over a joke. Even if you comment with an account that wasn’t banned, and it was an accident because despite hiding this subreddit, it keeps entering your feed. I sincerely hope the company dies a quick death and is replaced by something ethical. The app is overrun by scams, threats, and harassment and they don’t bother to stop it or moderate it .

Reddit claims to support open discussion, but my experience shows that serious, real-world concerns are routinely silenced—especially when they involve police accountability in Canada. Public reviews of police services have already been disabled on Google, and when users try to raise similar issues on Reddit, posts are often removed by moderators. I attempted to share concerns about how people can access information about police misconduct when all major platforms restrict or erase those conversations, and my post was repeatedly taken down. This creates a closed loop where the public is told oversight matters, but the tools to discuss it are systematically removed. What makes this especially troubling is that my post was not abstract or theoretical. It was based on my own lived experience involving extensive police surveillance, the disclosure of deeply personal and sensitive information to a family member, and the long-term consequences that followed. These are the kinds of experiences people need to be able to talk about—carefully, respectfully, and fact-based—so others understand how policing powers affect real lives. Yet Reddit’s moderation culture seems to treat any detailed, critical discussion of police conduct as inherently unacceptable, regardless of tone or relevance, leaving no meaningful space for survivors or complainants to be heard. By removing posts like mine, Reddit contributes to a larger problem: when Google disables reviews and Reddit deletes discussions, the public is left with no way to learn from others’ experiences with law enforcement. This isn’t about harassment or hate; it’s about transparency, accountability, and public interest. Reddit could choose to allow well-moderated, experience-based discussions on policing instead of defaulting to censorship. Until it does, its reputation as a platform for honest and open dialogue—especially on difficult but important topics—rings hollow. many honest and respectfully written posts about negative encounters with police are removed by moderators, often without clear explanations. This pattern creates the impression that certain topics are effectively off-limits, even when they are discussed in a factual, non-abusive way. While moderators and platforms have the right to enforce rules, the broad removal of posts about police misconduct feels less like moderation and more like silencing. Reddit’s decentralized moderation system means that entire communities can shut down important conversations, leaving users with no consistent or transparent way to share real experiences that affect public trust. When major platforms like Google and Reddit both restrict or remove public feedback about policing, it raises an important question: how are people supposed to learn about others’ experiences with law enforcement? In Canada, where public oversight and accountability matter, removing these discussions limits awareness rather than protecting users. Reddit could do better by allowing carefully worded, experience-based discussions on this topic instead of defaulting to takedowns that undermine its reputation as a place for open and meaningful dialogue.

Die Logik mit Karma Punkten und Credits ist total bescheuert. Ich bin neu auf der Plattform. Möchte Beiträge teilen um Hilfe zu Themen zu erhalten aber jeder Post wird automatisch entfernt ohne Möglichkeit es zu beheben oder Details zu erfahren. Sehr schlechte User Experience mMn

Disgusting communist style platform where you're not allowed to post anything about anything at all because [insert vague excuse here]. Reddit should be banned from the internet. It has no place in a free western society.

Unjust; I was permanently banned. u/Lumpy-Blacksmith1863

Fairly incompetent, jannies with a stick up their ass. You ask for your comment to be approved? In a default subreddit? Get banned permanently while the jannie with a stick up their ass reports you to reddit admins, which are just jannies with an even bigger stick up their ass. They'll then give you a 3 day site wide ban for daring ask their favored moderator to stop censoring discussions without a reason. IDGAF what colloquial term I call them, moderator, mods, janitors, jannies. That wasn't offensive, nor was offense intended. I'm intending offense here, because calling them "jannies" obviously got under their skin. I never intended that offense, but I'm from the old Internet where people discuss things, permabans are reserved for spammers/actual abuse, not a nickname for janitor. I thought the information on the website is useful, but if reddit admins are gonna ban everyone for using old terminology, it's just censorship and authoritarianism under a different name. Don't expect to get your comments that are shadow removed approved, nor dare ask a jannie to approve it. The mods and admins would rather issue you template responses instead of actually addressing the substance of the matter. Or act "offended" while they mute you for 28 days so you can't even respond. It's bullshit, it's no way to treat a userbase. I've never received an apology nor even consideration from these jannies. L. Garbage experience. EDIT: I've dropped it down to 1/5. Apparently, reddit considers it harassment to ask for an official response from mods. In a ban appeal. Yeah, right. A mute stick isn't a response, jack ass.

Reddit is really sad both quality wise and in their direction of moderation. Shame as they have a nice platform otherwise..!!
