I've just wasted an hour trying to leave Reddit. The username that apparently links to my phone and Reddit account, isn't mine. I've changed my password, as I didn't have a record of it. Tried to disconnect my account from Google, or delete my account, but can't do either . It keeps telling me my new password is incorrect, even tho I've typed it meticulously, several times. Help pages take me round in circles. How on earth do you ever leave this platform??

Reddit is the most heavily censored platform on the internet. Posts and comments are shadow-deleted by bots and power-tripping moderators silently, without any explanation or notification whatsoever. Accounts get banned for no apparent reason, and the automated filter system is completely broken. Absolute worst user experience.

I use reddit every day, I'm not sure why it's so poorly reviewed. its great.

Reddit is completely toxic and filled with people who just want to downgrade you, fight with you and harass you. Also if you're a new user trying to get Karma is a hassle since most of the groups you need Karma to chat in anyway. I'd say stay clear of reddit. It's worse than Facebook and that's saying a lot.

Someone used my email to create like 20 different user names and now I have to delete them one by one by using password reset for each one. On top of that my email is banned from creating a real account because of this. How can Reddit have a system where someone could just use anyone's email without having the email owner approving the account creation? That is beyond me but I don't really care for a Reddit account now anyways, seems like a toxic place to be.

A despeacable platform, which caters to lgbtq+ topics and views and reprimends any opposing stance or comment. This platform is extremely discriminatory to non-lgbtq+ users and routinely violates the right to free speech, labeling it as "hate". I will be submitting my formal complaint to the US DOJ.

Politely asked a mod to review a post that got removed. They answered "lol", muted me, then permanently banned me. Well, that's their decision. Except, my posts from other subreddits get removed. And now when I try to post anywhere it goes straight to mod approval. According to Reddit, there is no system wide penalty against me, and what I'm experiencing isn't possible, so I can't appeal. Mods use third party block lists in blatant violation of Reddit ToS and reddit does nothing to stop it. So if one sad man-child in his mom's basement is angry because his mom used the wrong bread for his sandwich, they can wipe you off the site in seconds. Not the kind of place any business should invest in building reputation or visibility.

I've contacted via the support thing ages ago. then in 2025 I contacted them via Legal support thing. I've been trying to change my email for over 2 years the support is usless. First they say I have to reply with the closedd email, I sent them bunch of proof and they sent me Due to privacy...... I offered ID, Passport yet no answe been over a half year, maybe 1 year now. Worst custommer support experince I've dealt with. Good I can still login using google. which somehow is connected despite changing email address on google account. But Soundcloud on the other hand is totally opposite, they askedd me to do a task, then they changed me address. All went super fast. well communicated, but reddit seems to send automated emails, cus I send them proof, any sane person can see it's me, I've cross posted my socials across the socials, so Reddit link on youtube, link to linktree, on all of them and in there there's link to all the others including reddit. All answers were from: Reddit Legal Support ''In order to protect user privacy, we cannot help someone log in to an account if we can't confirm they are the true owner, either through logging in or accessing the account's email (if there is one). We won’t be able to help if you've lost access to the email address that’s on the account. You can read more in Reddit's Help Center here.'' No real person's name. When I write I can send ID, and already sent so much proof, and they answer me, this is unacceptable. Unprofessional! This is absurd. Trying again now in 2026. But seems hopeless. All answers I got were like no human read it. I'ts talking to a wall. No wonder there's such a low rating. I'm sure a lot of other people have similar experince. The positive things are: great platform to get help and help others, learn things, I helped many there. I'm an active user am in various bicycle groups and tech groups and others. But such a shame support is useless. So for usefulness I would give it 5 stars, but the support makes it one star.
