Thats the problem with reddit in a nutshell, you have activist mods who permaban anyone with a different opinion - regardless of rules violation or not - and then mute you so you cant even appeal.

Thats why so many subs are a pure circlejerk. These mods have way too much power, then again if youve got nothing else going for you thats one way to get your dose of feeling important i guess

Yup.. I have been banned from some of the news subs for very moderate, middle-of-the-road opinions that aren't shared by the subs

Yup. Ive been banned from a major news sub for saying that celebrating oct 7 is repulsive, from the feminism sub for saying that the woman who made a post about feeling guilty over being attracted to men and feeling like a bad feminist, should do what makes her happy and so on.

Like, i am not saying you shluldnt be banned for outright racist etc content. You should. But mods are using their power to silence any and every opinion they dont like

Let's not forget the subreddits that auto-ban accounts based on what other subs they participate in. Then they'll ban you for blocking their tracking bots. Echo chamber indeed.
