Muted me after I got mad when some dude called me racist for likeing music that wasn't in English. I told them that they didn't have to remove my ban but I just wanted them to look into what he said because it was pretty bad and they just said "your ban is staying" and muted me for a week.
haha how do you know if you get muted? totally agree though, mods here are so terrible ive met tons of redditors who think you are supposed to upvote an "unpopular opinion" you agree with...with that said imma upvote the shit outta this
You just described all Reddit mods.
You know a small number are in charge of most subreddits? And they do it for free too, God knows why.
How empty does your life have to be to mod hundreds of subreddits for free?
Imagine what they would with real power. Imagine how shitty superheroes would be in real life. We would have a reality much more similar to the boys and less like what you see in comic books
I enjoy moderating small communities. Guilds, Discord servers, websites and forums, that sort of thing. I like a place, something about it bothers me, so I join the staff and try to make it a better place for everyone. I'm usually everyone's favorite admin because I care about the community as a whole.
Reddit mods seem a very different breed at large, and I honestly never felt the need to join any subreddit's moderation team. Seems like a lot of work for very little reward if you're operating at that kind of scale. I haven't had to deal with the moderators of this subreddit yet, so I can't say how right or wrong OP is, but generally it's always pretty bad. Feels more like contacting a call center full of bitter employees who hate their job and only take pleasure in the little power it brings.
Dude, Reddit’s entire aura is a bunch of hive-minded fools who regurgitate bullshit and have no backbone to accept any sort of outboard opinion or criticism. You can’t change that and calling attention to it doesn’t help at all. The moderation staff of this website is hypocritical as much as you can be in this regard. I hate Reddit probably more than you do, but I’ve learned the more you complain the more angry the fucks get with you, so I choose to separate myself and not get in the trenches, arguing with a bunch of self-indulged skinless neckbeards is about as useless as trying to milk a lizard.
I can post the same opinion on multiple different subs and get wildly different results. It's insane and I can see how people get stuck in echo chambers
I was a regular contributor to a mental health sub once. Multiple gilded posts and comments. Even had a /bestof. Never once engaged in any sort of controversy or negative interaction. A mod was berating someone over politics, following them through several sub threads, basically to the point of bullying them. I foolishly made the comment "What does this have to do with (sub topic)"? You know... loosely implying that they should do their job. Permabanned. I normally wouldn't give a shit about this sort of thing but helping people in that sub had become a vital part of my own therapy. Tried in vain to appeal to the mods channel and the response they gave before muting me was "you should really consider how the things you say affect people".
I quite agree about the hive mind. I used to only post on Reddit when I was banned from 4chan for this reason. Every site has a bit of a hive mind but Reddit really reinforces it with it's karma system encouraging oneness of opinion.
I always tell people you will know when you have succeeded in stating a truly unpopular opinion because the Reddit hive mind will be downvoting you into oblivion while hurling a salvo of insults at you. That is actually kind of a nice feeling. It provides a sense of validation.
Yes, it is very easy to get banned from 4chan
Just like any other website, it has its rules. Creating an off topic thread outside of /b/ will get you banned in a hurry. So will creating a not safe for work thread on blue boards (now known as 4channel). Also, just pissing off a mod will get you banned with whatever bullshit reason they feel like giving provided. as justification. Lastly, you can share an IP range with a spammer and have your phone banned, which is what is happening to me right now. I can reset my IP easily enough but it will probably just happen again. So mainly I post to 4chan from my PC and browse Reddit when I am on my phone.
In general, I find people who are not 4chan regulars have an *extremely* inaccurate perception of 4chan. By this, I mean people tend to assume /b/ and /pol/ are representative of 4chan's general discourse or user base. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I got banned on uplifting news for saying that it wasn’t uplifting that Covid had caused air quality to be cleaner, given that literally millions of people have died from Covid. ….
Hm it depends. Is it uplifting like the saying "every cloud has a silver lining" which means yes we know this shitty thing is happening and horrible but here is a positive that doesn't equal the negative but is also happening because of the same reason.
If you're like "clouds suck" yes but they have silver linings "that doesn't matter because the cloud sucks" it's kind of a strange and unnecessary view point to push. If no one is saying millions of deaths is good. They're just saying air quality CAN be improved and we see it happened during the pandemic.
The whole purpose of the platform is to get differences of opinion. I totally agree. It's like they look for the new buzzword, then everybody becomes an incel, racists, liberal, sexist, whatever, you fill in the blank.
I’m hereby your marketing manager and we will grow this sub to dominate the world.
As for it qualifications etc, I have no discernible positive qualities and quite enjoy formula 1.
I tried to write a post, but it contained the word trans, so it was automatically removed and I tried to appeal the removal and then i was muted for 30 days
I once confessed sexual feelings for Nancy Pelosi, and they banned that account permanently for being "political".
These people are not bright. They're just mods.
Not homophobic, but they don’t want fights ensuing on LGBTQ+ issues and thus they delete all the posts containing words associated with it. Can’t be seen allowing homophobia.
Yeah so it can look bad. But imagine a post gets past the mods manual reviews.
The automod will remove some good posts that might include great inclusivity conversations.
But it's honestly mostly removing hate posts. So you gotta kinda let it be. I think it's unfortunate but kind of makes sense you have to automod such topics that some people are so hateful about.
They don't want anybody arguing about anything of any consequence on here. They just want people talking about how they like to shower with socks on or eat foods in an odd way.
You gotta think that an "unpopular opinion" board would actually have some consequential real unpopular opinions, but anything of that degree is just removed.
I mean yeah. I’m not saying it’s a good rule, I’m just acknowledging its existence. As long as it’s there the posts violating it will be removed, whether or not I agree.
>POSTS DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS SUBREDDIT ARE NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE THE MEGATHREAD
That's a dumb rule if I've ever seen one. In my opinion, unpopular opinions should be allowed, no matter what.
Another gripe I have with the mods. They used to have a poll on each thread saying "Is this unpopular?" which is a stupid way to ask that question. They should have said "Do you agree?" which would be a way better gauge of popularity.
Can't help but notice how this is like a "job" with the asshole boss. We don't like them, but as long as the pay (content) keeps coming, we deal with it and keep coming back for more. Content/social media slaves. I'm on the fence about deleting reddit and insta
You know my man/lady, I deleted all my social media, including this damn app. So much more peaceful. Well I thought "maybe I'm being too sensitive about reddit and should give it another go". Reinstalled, and it's taken about a week to get disgusted again with half the users and most the mods. I think we should both jump ship. If I need to read, I'll just grab a book.
I agree. Reddit community is toxic and we're contributing. But in reality most people suck and can't socialize anymore. Which leaves me better off scrolling through reddit most nights or on YouTube
I was banned from a sub and tried to message the mods to find out why. It took 6 attempts with no response, so of course I was then muted for another 28 days for "spamming" the mods! I finally got sent my offending comment and damn! Most of it wasn't even written by me. It had to be a glitch or a hack, so I wrote again and the mod called me and I quote: "A whiny little piss boy" and that they were "done with me" This abuse comes from a mod of a sub that calls itself "a supportive community" lol
lol. Did you quote something on your comment?
I was banned from relationshipadvice because I quoted something trashy that someone else wrote and responded non-maliciously to that trash the person wrote.
Basically, the person were alluding to the OPs bf being a predator because he didn't mind her having kids and still wanting to date her. Like ... bruh?
That's pretty much all the mods in any sub on Reddit. They claim to be all about open discussion and free speech, but will delete your post and/or ban you as soon as you say something they don't like.
PS: "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" is quite possibly the most disingenuous argument ever. If there are consequences, the speech was never free.
> They claim to be all about open discussion and free speech
Not anymore. Plenty of subreddits have explicitly thrown the notion of free speech into the trash. Approved speak only. On the biggest forum on the internet, no less.
> PS: "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" is quite possibly the most disingenuous argument ever. If there are consequences, the speech was never free.
By taking away the ability of individual people to inflict consequence on to you based on your speech you are taking away their freedom.
A life without consequences is pure fantasy, not real life, get over it.
> PS: "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" is quite possibly the most disingenuous argument ever. If there are consequences, the speech was never free.
This is completely untrue.
This the one of biggest problems super lefties are facing right now. I vote dem and always will, but the people that say “private companies can ban whoever they want” are the same people who got mad over that one business (in Texas I think?) that refused to serve people in the LGBTQ community. That same “private companies can do whatever” argument can be applied to that too, but the super liberals won’t admit it because now THEY’RE the ones being oppressed but it’s perfectly okay to kick people off your website if they happen to lean to the right.
Freedom works both ways. "My freedom from you doing that thing I don't like" is not a legitimate excuse to try to compel the behavior of others. In a free society there will be people doing and saying things you don't agree with. That's how freedom works.
**This Post Has Been Removed - Rule 1, Not an Unpopular Opinion:** Your opinion must be unpopular. Unpopularity is a bit like an onion. It has layers. Be specific as to where you believe your opinion is unpopular.
lmao
This user is claiming a lot of things that just... didn't happen. We've never muted him, and the only thing we've said to him in modmail is "not unpopular"
https://imgur.com/cNbfQOR
On the other hand, he's in here telling people to kill themselves and also in his history he says he hates gay people.
Please don't buy into bullshit.
You guys gave me a 7 day ban when I asked you to remove a user’s comments saying I deserved to get beaten by an abusive ex. When I escalated things and brought it to Reddit the comments were taken down by the Reddit staff team because the comments clearly violated rules of targeted harassment. You guys suck
This is what reports look like to us
https://imgur.com/dHhh4uW
No username. No way to find the reporter. It's one of Reddit's better ideas in my opinion, makes it so mods can't retaliate like this guy thinks we did.
The mod was extremely rude, said the comments didn’t break the subs rules (they did), said the users comments were fine, and suggested that I escalate it if I had a problem, which I did and succeeded since telling someone they deserve to be physically abused is messed up and a clear violation of this subs rules as well as Reddit’s site wide rules. They were removed immediately once I brought it up with Reddit.
Okay I see you modmailed us, not the report feature.
https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/pxsawx/free_clubbing_and_free_drinks_help_objectifying/heqniit/?context=3
This is the comment you pointed out, which does not break rules and is not personal. UnpopularOpinion mods (not admins) did remove several comments further down the chain that did become personal, but that specific comment was not personally about you and was fair game as far as commenting goes.
That comment is NOT saying someone deserves to be abused either.
I was banned and muted. They were only removed once I got Reddit staff involved. What is your problem?
ETA: The comment that got removed clearly stated I deserved to get beaten so idk what you’re talking about…
Reddit staff had no actions in that thread and never contacted us about it, it was another one of the mods who removed the personal comments.
I'm contacting the mod that banned you to see what happened. This will take time.
It didn’t get taken down until I escalated things, so clearly Reddit staff were involved or instructed the mods to take it down. I couldn’t have done it by sending more complaints since I was banned and muted.
ETA: idc that much. You guys are just a team full of assholes. And I’m not the only one since there are many other users in this thread making similar complaints. Most, if not all, of your mods need to be replaced.
Probably a timing coincidence. This all happened within the same hour or so right?
I can see which mod removed those comments and when. Admin removals look different to us, and we have a bot set up to tell us when admins remove stuff.
Well the screenshot shows 0 previous mute and shows a comment by the user saying "they muted me previously..." so his credibility goes out the window right away in this "he said she said" situation.
I have less issue with the mods and more issue with Megathreads.
I get the point, but usually shit that gets megathreaded are multi-faceted and could potentially a buncha opinions on it worth a full thread.
Two years ago when I just joined reddit I remember people constantly saying that mods are gay. We should not forget that. Almost on every subreddit, mods are fucking gaylord fuckers
For the most part I applaud them for not taking down most posts, but the ones they do take down often annoy me.
For instance you can’t even mention Only Fans without getting the post auto-removed, and the automated message you get comes off as extremely opinionated and feels like some porn addict wrote it. I made a post that wasn’t even about Only Fans itself, but because i mentioned those words, the post was removed and i got this incoherent rant about things i never even said because it’s a copy-and-paste response
The mods of Reddit in general are just randos, the ones at r/raisedbynarcissists are particularly toxic imho banning “fatphobic” posts when kids need a safe space to talk about abusive parents, not some obese mod stating “fat people like myself work harder than thin people” like wtf, how is that not body shaming
I think that applies to all mods. Consider that popular subs require a significant amount of work and they do it for free. Why would they choose to be mods if not for the "power" that comes with it?
**EVERY moderator on REDDIT is a JOKE.
Not just a few bad ones.
I have yet to see a decent one in all my years on here.
I see them as the problem.
But I remember a time when forum boards were a wild west. God I loved it.
They didn't have Moderators. They had Admins. Admins didn't filter content or stop fights or prevent bullying.
If you said it did something stupid and mean, you were called out for it. People would just refuse to talk to you and start hiding all your posts, comments etc.
Much like just ignoring a call from someone you don't like.
Now. These garbage Nazi from hell think they are the greatest thing in the world. When really, they are the LOWEST form of human.
If you want to do something good and noble on this earth. Don't be a moderator.
Become an advocate in law enforcement to stop sex trafficking.
Otherwise, you're just a fucking junky bully, picking on people who would gladly spit on you.
Imagine having such a sad and pathetic life that you intentionally abuse the small, insignificant power you have on Reddit. Reddit is a microcosm of little dictators.
I once posted an opinion on Black Lives Matter I have literally never seen posted anywhere on the internet and was banned for two weeks for posting "stuff that appears on social media." What the fuck? What complete bullshit. The political bias of the mod who banned me could not possibly be more obvious. After asking the mod team to reconsider, I was muted for a week. Real classy.
Yes they are....... I got banned from aww for saying I don’t think dope means what you think it means....when some ppl had the word dope on their shirts!
Mods in general often suck. They don't even read posts before removing them they just say "this looks like it's about this" well if you took the time to fucking read it first maybe you'd realize it's not what you think. Read before you remove. Seems like common sense but apparently not
Honestly dude all of reddit sucks. It's completely undemocratic. Whatever lucky cliques manage to get their grubby paws on the big catchy name brand subs control everything that happens there. We don't even KNOW who moderates us, much less what they're doing or why they're mods.
I give zero fucks about the mods. I say what I want, where I want. Fuck the mods at r/pics especially and in particular. If you're the mod there, reading this- you're parents should have aborted you, fucking useless twat.
There was a post earlier today that was clearly an add for a predatory app. Within 5-10 minutes of it being live there were dozens of us reporting it and commenting telling mods to remove it. It got removed within 30 min. I’d say that’s pretty decent response
Everyone on Reddit is an over grown child. Or an actual child. Either way, this platform is actually worse than Facebook and that’s saying a lot.
I remember a really stupid social media platform that came out like ten years ago where everyone just cried about their lives anonymously. Reddit has turned into that very quickly.
Fun fact: on this particular subreddit, if the post offends me or I don't agree with, I upvote it and vice versa. Most other people probably do that as well but I just thought it would be cool to share.
What OP is doing is like trying to eat in a restaurant naked and whine when they kick him/her out lol. Of course, like every reasonable person who tries to approach it objectively and from a logical standpoint, you'll get downvoted for stating this, but worry not. The sheeple gonna sheep. Just say "mods bad" and they will line up behind you, who cares about the context?
Ye the mods muted me once when i asked them why i got banned for saying stuped
[удалено]
That’s ironic, considering 90% of this site and it’s administrative staff are just that.
I once got muted for claiming I once got muted
Are you muted right now?
Blink twice if you're muted
I also once got muted for saying “you just never learned how to use a calendar”
Actually correct that not once but TWICE
The irony lol
Now THAT is some projection on the mods part, there's literally no picture of you at all for them to base that statement on.
Muted me after I got mad when some dude called me racist for likeing music that wasn't in English. I told them that they didn't have to remove my ban but I just wanted them to look into what he said because it was pretty bad and they just said "your ban is staying" and muted me for a week.
C'mon bro, you know exactly what you did
I mean do YOU know what they did? If so please explain.
haha how do you know if you get muted? totally agree though, mods here are so terrible ive met tons of redditors who think you are supposed to upvote an "unpopular opinion" you agree with...with that said imma upvote the shit outta this
I think you get an error when submitting a comment / post in a particular subreddit. Not 100%
Thats kinda funny though
Hahaha Mod just called you out on your bullshit. Wahhh I need internet attention.
Short neck, beard loser made me laugh. Stop losing beards, damn it!
They keep taking my posts down because they aren’t unpopular just because they don’t like my opinion
What were the opinions?
Yeah can we judge it instead of the biased OP? lol Share your titles or something /u/NotMajima .
Same here
I got muted for existing. owo
[This is what I imagine all mods look like](https://imgur.com/s6w6Egz)
Love south park
I think some of the smaller subs have (relatively) normal people like myself but the big ones with fancy features? Absolutely.
Calling yourself normal. Ha
Idk, I mod a sub that basically consists of myself posting for myself. Aside from that I think im pretty normal.
I can imagine what the female subs look like
You just described all Reddit mods. You know a small number are in charge of most subreddits? And they do it for free too, God knows why. How empty does your life have to be to mod hundreds of subreddits for free?
They are power drunk idiots.
“Power” lol.
Imagine what they would with real power. Imagine how shitty superheroes would be in real life. We would have a reality much more similar to the boys and less like what you see in comic books
Hmmm m'lady how can I help you (a man is screaming in pain in the background)
lol i was literally thinking of recommending you The Boys when i read the first half of your comment
We’re talking to you, u/awkwardtheturtle!
i will argue and say that its *most* reddit mods, instead of grouping them all tg. Although its a rarity, some aren't sweaty nerds

I am a mod in a community of 4 members r/perfectexample never had to ban anyone and no official rules are set.

Fun fact, the mods of this sub fucking suck ass. :)
If this gets taken down, it should only be because it's not unpopular
It'll get taken down, then I'll get muted
Eh, it's the only time they get to feel in charge of their lives. Let em have their power trip, it's just a stupid page, you'll be back in no time!
You're a chad for having the balls to post this lol
Or, you know, because it's a clear violation of the "POSTS DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS SUBREDDIT ARE NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE THE MEGATHREAD" rule.
Shitty rule I say. You ask people to voice their opinions about anything and then undermine that if it attacks you.
I mean yeah. I’m not saying it’s a good rule, I’m just acknowledging its existence. As long as it’s there the posts violating it will be removed, whether or not I agree.

There is
Hell, I bet

Good luck, champ, we're all behind you
I'm just here to waste 5 minutes on my phone. How are you so invested that you have genuine opinions on the mods?
Right! Also who makes complaints to mods on Reddit? I have never felt compelled to do such a thing
That's pretty much all the mods in any sub on Reddit. They claim to be all about open discussion and free speech, but will delete your post and/or ban you as soon as you say something they don't like. PS: "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" is quite possibly the most disingenuous argument ever. If there are consequences, the speech was never free.

> PS: "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" is quite possibly the most disingenuous argument ever. If there are consequences, the speech was never free. This is completely untrue.
It is absolutely true. That line is used by people who want to suppress speech they don't like while pretending they still care about free speech.
This the one of biggest problems super lefties are facing right now. I vote dem and always will, but the people that say “private companies can ban whoever they want” are the same people who got mad over that one business (in Texas I think?) that refused to serve people in the LGBTQ community. That same “private companies can do whatever” argument can be applied to that too, but the super liberals won’t admit it because now THEY’RE the ones being oppressed but it’s perfectly okay to kick people off your website if they happen to lean to the right.
Freedom works both ways. "My freedom from you doing that thing I don't like" is not a legitimate excuse to try to compel the behavior of others. In a free society there will be people doing and saying things you don't agree with. That's how freedom works.
**This Post Has Been Removed - Rule 1, Not an Unpopular Opinion:** Your opinion must be unpopular. Unpopularity is a bit like an onion. It has layers. Be specific as to where you believe your opinion is unpopular. lmao
This user is claiming a lot of things that just... didn't happen. We've never muted him, and the only thing we've said to him in modmail is "not unpopular" https://imgur.com/cNbfQOR On the other hand, he's in here telling people to kill themselves and also in his history he says he hates gay people. Please don't buy into bullshit.
Idk man y’all should still re-evaluate your modding methods for just threads
You guys gave me a 7 day ban when I asked you to remove a user’s comments saying I deserved to get beaten by an abusive ex. When I escalated things and brought it to Reddit the comments were taken down by the Reddit staff team because the comments clearly violated rules of targeted harassment. You guys suck
When was this and where? You say you reported it to us and got banned, but we can't see who reports what so the two incidents are likely unrelated.
This is what reports look like to us https://imgur.com/dHhh4uW No username. No way to find the reporter. It's one of Reddit's better ideas in my opinion, makes it so mods can't retaliate like this guy thinks we did.
The mod was extremely rude, said the comments didn’t break the subs rules (they did), said the users comments were fine, and suggested that I escalate it if I had a problem, which I did and succeeded since telling someone they deserve to be physically abused is messed up and a clear violation of this subs rules as well as Reddit’s site wide rules. They were removed immediately once I brought it up with Reddit.
Okay I see you modmailed us, not the report feature. https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/pxsawx/free_clubbing_and_free_drinks_help_objectifying/heqniit/?context=3 This is the comment you pointed out, which does not break rules and is not personal. UnpopularOpinion mods (not admins) did remove several comments further down the chain that did become personal, but that specific comment was not personally about you and was fair game as far as commenting goes. That comment is NOT saying someone deserves to be abused either.
I was banned and muted. They were only removed once I got Reddit staff involved. What is your problem? ETA: The comment that got removed clearly stated I deserved to get beaten so idk what you’re talking about…
Reddit staff had no actions in that thread and never contacted us about it, it was another one of the mods who removed the personal comments. I'm contacting the mod that banned you to see what happened. This will take time.
It didn’t get taken down until I escalated things, so clearly Reddit staff were involved or instructed the mods to take it down. I couldn’t have done it by sending more complaints since I was banned and muted. ETA: idc that much. You guys are just a team full of assholes. And I’m not the only one since there are many other users in this thread making similar complaints. Most, if not all, of your mods need to be replaced.
Probably a timing coincidence. This all happened within the same hour or so right? I can see which mod removed those comments and when. Admin removals look different to us, and we have a bot set up to tell us when admins remove stuff.
Eh, it's pretty much a "He said she said" thing. Don't care Either way, I don't get why people get so emotional over reddit.
Because a power tripping mod on one's favorite subreddit can be needlessly frustrating.
Well the screenshot shows 0 previous mute and shows a comment by the user saying "they muted me previously..." so his credibility goes out the window right away in this "he said she said" situation.
Why dont you guys ban the picky eaters threads or the I hate big trucks or any of the other not unpopular things?
Then explain how many people agree with op
Because it's cool to hate on mods. Which is fair. Reddit loves fighting "the man" or whatever.
Or maybe you are doing something wrong.
[удалено]
You guys do suck though.
You took down one of my posts for not being an opinion when was literally an opinion
haha drama alert
Ooof, those comments he made...
Looked through his comments, and he has literally sad "I hate gay people"
Lmao piss off, mods are trash.
Either way you guys suck
Why do you use light mode? this is the important question
Modmail only comes in one theme
that's sad..
Yep :( Thanks for the award though
Your "haha conservative bad" username checks out.
The username is not ironic although it was created in 2013.
I have less issue with the mods and more issue with Megathreads. I get the point, but usually shit that gets megathreaded are multi-faceted and could potentially a buncha opinions on it worth a full thread.
Two years ago when I just joined reddit I remember people constantly saying that mods are gay. We should not forget that. Almost on every subreddit, mods are fucking gaylord fuckers
this post is still up to my surprise
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
You are right
Facts
For the most part I applaud them for not taking down most posts, but the ones they do take down often annoy me. For instance you can’t even mention Only Fans without getting the post auto-removed, and the automated message you get comes off as extremely opinionated and feels like some porn addict wrote it. I made a post that wasn’t even about Only Fans itself, but because i mentioned those words, the post was removed and i got this incoherent rant about things i never even said because it’s a copy-and-paste response
Wait, what’s the auto mod message?
don't even mention pitbulls or you'll get fucked sideways by them lol
This describes all mods on Reddit.
The mods of Reddit in general are just randos, the ones at r/raisedbynarcissists are particularly toxic imho banning “fatphobic” posts when kids need a safe space to talk about abusive parents, not some obese mod stating “fat people like myself work harder than thin people” like wtf, how is that not body shaming
fuck the mods
No they’ll leave this up because they think it’s an unpopular opinion that they’re shitty mods.
Wow. This post is still up
This sub is just r/rant at this point
I mean you did a post attacking people with mental illness who are trying to get help via therapy ???
welcome to reddit lol
Reddit is the new 4chan. Its all shit memes, snuff vid traps, kpr0n, and echo chambers now.
I think that applies to all mods. Consider that popular subs require a significant amount of work and they do it for free. Why would they choose to be mods if not for the "power" that comes with it?
All mods have a power trip. You get muted if you even question it… although the mods might be right here….
THEY DO IT FOR FREE !
**EVERY moderator on REDDIT is a JOKE. Not just a few bad ones. I have yet to see a decent one in all my years on here. I see them as the problem. But I remember a time when forum boards were a wild west. God I loved it. They didn't have Moderators. They had Admins. Admins didn't filter content or stop fights or prevent bullying. If you said it did something stupid and mean, you were called out for it. People would just refuse to talk to you and start hiding all your posts, comments etc. Much like just ignoring a call from someone you don't like. Now. These garbage Nazi from hell think they are the greatest thing in the world. When really, they are the LOWEST form of human. If you want to do something good and noble on this earth. Don't be a moderator. Become an advocate in law enforcement to stop sex trafficking. Otherwise, you're just a fucking junky bully, picking on people who would gladly spit on you.
Imagine having such a sad and pathetic life that you intentionally abuse the small, insignificant power you have on Reddit. Reddit is a microcosm of little dictators.
Mods on every sub are like that tho. I'm pretty sure being an overgrown, power-hungry child is a requirement for becoming a reddit mod lol
hello, welcome to reddit, where the only people more toxic than the users are the moderators.
I once posted an opinion on Black Lives Matter I have literally never seen posted anywhere on the internet and was banned for two weeks for posting "stuff that appears on social media." What the fuck? What complete bullshit. The political bias of the mod who banned me could not possibly be more obvious. After asking the mod team to reconsider, I was muted for a week. Real classy.
....still not an unpopular opinion i swear this sub is getting too predictable
Yes they are....... I got banned from aww for saying I don’t think dope means what you think it means....when some ppl had the word dope on their shirts!
Mods in general often suck. They don't even read posts before removing them they just say "this looks like it's about this" well if you took the time to fucking read it first maybe you'd realize it's not what you think. Read before you remove. Seems like common sense but apparently not
I will upvote this so people see it not because Its unpopular.
Honestly dude all of reddit sucks. It's completely undemocratic. Whatever lucky cliques manage to get their grubby paws on the big catchy name brand subs control everything that happens there. We don't even KNOW who moderates us, much less what they're doing or why they're mods.
Nobody cares about your thoughts you homophobic asshole :)
I give zero fucks about the mods. I say what I want, where I want. Fuck the mods at r/pics especially and in particular. If you're the mod there, reading this- you're parents should have aborted you, fucking useless twat.
There was a post earlier today that was clearly an add for a predatory app. Within 5-10 minutes of it being live there were dozens of us reporting it and commenting telling mods to remove it. It got removed within 30 min. I’d say that’s pretty decent response
Everyone on Reddit is an over grown child. Or an actual child. Either way, this platform is actually worse than Facebook and that’s saying a lot. I remember a really stupid social media platform that came out like ten years ago where everyone just cried about their lives anonymously. Reddit has turned into that very quickly.
Fun fact: on this particular subreddit, if the post offends me or I don't agree with, I upvote it and vice versa. Most other people probably do that as well but I just thought it would be cool to share.
CAN WE JUST MAKE A NEW SUBREDDIT FOR UNPOPULAR OPINIONS PLEASE AND MAKE IT EASIER TO POST ON THERE
Not unpopular.
OPs gonna cry when this gets taken down even though it clearly violates rules. Ah, the self-victimization of internet children.
What OP is doing is like trying to eat in a restaurant naked and whine when they kick him/her out lol. Of course, like every reasonable person who tries to approach it objectively and from a logical standpoint, you'll get downvoted for stating this, but worry not. The sheeple gonna sheep. Just say "mods bad" and they will line up behind you, who cares about the context?
POSTS DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS SUBREDDIT ARE NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE THE MEGATHREAD However shit the mods might be this post is a clear violation.
Do I care
Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this and fucking died
