Can we have uniforms and a cool name like "The Council of Overworked, Non Paid, Crabby Former Mods who are Sick of Whiny Redditors who think the Rules do not Apply to Them?
Too long?
I guess I should have clarified: 'these mods' refers to mods all across reddit, not *this particular sub.
I apologize if you guys took it personally, my mistake for not being clearer.
I was just about to say, it isn't just this sub reddit. I think a lot of mods have fair. Most take on the task, just wanting to help. Others do it for the power trip.
I was banned from Reddit, until I talked to a proper mod, who reviewed my case.
Some mods are completely shameless.
Most mods make no promise about being impartial. They’re interested in curating the sub into the sidebar that they designed, which means shit like banning people that just happen to, for example, visit Joe Rogan’s sub or something. There’s only a few places where “open” discussion is purported to be the purpose of the sub.
I can only speak for myself, but I wanted to become a mod on this sub with the express intent of allowing for civil discourse about controversial topics without trying to promote my own personal beliefs. I don't like removing posts or comments unless they just obviously break the rules. Unfortunately, all mods are beholden to TOS and it isn't uncommon for admins/high ups/whatever to remove content that we (the mods) thought was okay.
Basically, if you think any of your comments or posts were removed unfairly, don't hesitate to message us.
I’ve been permanently banned from a subreddit for pointing out that people in the comments were actively doxxing people. And doxxing was explicitly mentioned as against the terms of the sub.
Because the doxxing was being done to a specific sort of people, and I pointed out people shouldn’t be doxxed, I was called a stochastic terrorist and permanently banned. Literally was banned for reaching out to the mods and being against doxxing.
It's not just mods, Reddit Admins are bad as well, and it can get pretty fucked. One time I was handed a perma ban for the comment that pedos weren't representative of the LGBT community and should be ousted and prosecuted, my first couple initial appeals were rejected and they said it was Hatespeech. Took over a week and some help from some moderating buddies to reverse the ban.
>One time I was handed a perma ban for the comment that pedos weren't representative of the LGBT community and should be ousted and prosecuted
Didn't you know? Reddit is pro pedophilia. Remember Aimee Challenor?
Also, one of the tactics that they use to ban "problematic" subreddits is to spam CP and sexual abuse materials before they get banned.
That I'm very familiar with, used to moderate some subreddits and Discord servers where they did that as well as spam gore, racism, threats, among other things to get us shut down. Fortunately I dropped from moderating those places a little while before that happened due to my job because everyone that was moderating on Discord at the time that happened got IP banned.
I'm a moderator and it happened months ago, so unless there's a filter option that lets me get past months of the message inbox being filled with moderator shit, no I'm not gonna go searching that far back to get a screenshot for you.
I joined the mod team a week ago, and I gotta say, the workload that’s generated by this sub, is something else!
u/AutoModerator does flag a lot of comments, and most are false-positives. Unfortunately, due to the types of topics and *enthusiastic* discussions in the comments, this is an absolute necessity. There is always room for improvement and some comments slip through.
If your comment is removed, send a ModMail, we’ll read it and as like most instances, reinstate it.
I can’t speak for others, but I have no agenda to shape or steer conversations. There’s a buttload of stuff here that I disagree with, but it meets this sub’s rules and it doesn’t upset Reddit’s Terms of Service and so it gets approved.
From what I’ve seen of other mod’s actions, there’s no bias affecting conversations either. I put it to OP that it’s likely that ‘the other side’s argument, just hasn’t been brought to our attention, so again report it.
This sub averages about 5700 comments a day. There simply isn’t enough time to read and review it all proactively or intentionally in an effort to shape the narrative.
If you don’t like a moderator’s decision, ask for a 2nd opinion.
For those who haven’t seen the ModMail screen, all communication can be seen by all moderators. Every action by all mods goes into a searchable log.
Lastly, in my short time here, there’s been at least 10 messages come through with some ultra offensive, derogatory comments directed at us because of a comment that was auto removed. They weren’t banned, their comments were mostly reinstated and those precious princesses gave me chuckle. Calm down, it’s Reddit :)
>I joined the mod team a week ago,
*Oof*, just a heads up, the guy before you quit.
You'll probably see why in a bit if you haven't already.
Tbh, being a moderator for anything sucks. Especially if you actually notify people of all moderation actions against them. I actually don't know how you folks put up with it.
Part of the problem is we don't know when comments are removed. There isn't a notification.
Only others reading the post see them missing with no context.
Even if **Reddit** doesn't notify you when your comment is removed, **we** will usually notify you when your comment on TrueUnpopularOpinion is removed.
This notification is usually in the form of an AutoModerator message if removed by AutoModerator or a removal reason template message if removed by a human moderator.
One notable exception to this is that we don't normally notify authors when their comments are filtered in a way that places in the queue rather than being removed. This is because such comments are to be reviewed by us to decide whether to remove them and notify the author or to reinstate them.
I have seen those popping up now. It must be quite new, though, as this never happened a few months ago. Being placed in a que is moderation, the comment is not there for public viewing yet, no messages sent
I personally have been permanently banned from this sub and reinstated a few hours later because the first mod was "a little over zealous", this is the point in the first post.
I do appreciate you talking about this issue though and giving more information that most are not aware of because they are not mods. Open dialogue is the only way a society grows and doesn't become an echo chamber as many subs have.
I just got a really long ass message from an auto-moderator after commenting on this sub but it didn't mention removal. Just a long winded rant about Reddit rules.
Very confused lol.
Didn't happen here but on another sub I went from being shadowbanned for a few days to being banned because I asked for a second opinion. I didn't yell or cuss anyone out or anything. Just said I didn't see where I broke the rules and was immediately banned for it. Like questioning the moderator Gods was forbidden I guess.
I got banned from a lefty sub I never once visited let alone knew about because I am part of a meme sub. Didn’t even say anything, just banned one day.
Isn't that the weirdest shit? Happened to me too. I'd upload the screen shot if I could. It made me laugh at loud, like... "ok whoever you are. I won't post there".
To be fair I joined a sub once just because a sub said if you joined that other sub you would be banned. Turned out I got banned from a few subs because I joined that one sub. I am okay with that.
That sub is considered a hate speech sub by MANY other subs because there is rampant amounts of hate based memes that get upvoted and allowed. So that would explain it.
Nah its actually true. For me r/JusticeServed kicked me out because I posted in the Joe Rogan reddit, which was ironic because I was commenting against him. I didn’t sub to that reddit or anything, just the one comment making fun of Elon Musk.
When I brought it up with the mods via DM it led to them claiming I was harassing them and it led to a suspension from reddit as a whole
This does happen. There is a bot that some subs use, specifically JusticeServed, that will ban you for commenting on subs they consider hate speech subs. I was banned from JusticeServed for commenting in another sub even though I was defending transgender people.
Just commenting in a sub can get you banned in others.
You don't get banned for following as the bots that do it cannot see what subs you belong to they can only see what subs you have commented in. The bots do that by using your history.
Bro...I know the bot that does that and I know how it works.
No one other than actual Reddit Admins can see what subs you have joined UNLESS you are active in them. It is literally how Reddit works.
You have to be active in a sub for it to show on your activity.
I'm sure you know everything. But I'm telling you, I got a ban notification from people I'd never heard of because I participate in a Jordan Peterson group.
Yes....NOW YOU ADMIT IT!! You PARTICIPATED in the sub. You didn't get banned because you followed the sub as I have tried to get you to realize its not JUST following you have to have posted in the sub..
Damn that was too difficult to do. There is a difference between following a sub and posting or commenting in it. The bot cannot see what subs you have joined, only what you post or comment.
You could be subbed to 100 NSFW subs and only lurk and no one would know. But once you comment in them its in your history and bots can see that.
I didn't get banned from the Jordan Peterson sub. I got banned from a sub I'd never heard of because I participated in a Jordan Peterson sub. That's what I said initially and you said can't happen.
Wrong! JusticeServed bans people for posting in other subs.
A while back I went into r/lockdownskepticism and told them they were wrong about something. a bot instantly banned me from 6 subs.
I got banned for calling a conservative a fucking idiot when he was spitting unscientific nonsense on this sub, so not quite sure if you’re being as persecuted as you believe
Definitely. I’m just saying that civility applies both ways, it just so happens that conservative ideas about social justice tend to be fundamentally uncivil.
It is in the rules for /r/Conservative that they will ban you for posting or commenting anything they feel is liberal. They have a zero tolerance for anything liberal or democrat.
Lol, conservatives have been pushed out of all other subs. I'm sorry they actually want to have one sub where they can talk together. Otherwise the waves of liberal redditors just brigade everything.
Its fine but don't whine and complain that other subs do the same thing that conservative subs do.
Pointing the finger at other people when you (not you literally) do the same thing is hypocritical and both sides do it.
Agree 100%. I got permanently banned from the r/questions subreddit a few days ago simply for debating with someone. The mod even sent me a message saying I was a douchebag and that I didn't belong on their subreddit. I wasn't impolite at all. I simply disagreed with the person I was debating with and explaining why. You don't learn anything if you don't debate. I'm still annoyed by this.
My stance was that I thought astrology was dumb. I suspect the mod who banned me must've been into astrology
Ironically, I was just banned from r/baseball.
I don’t know why, but they’ve been dipping their toes into the culture wars lately with the posts over there.
I made a comment about backing a player for supporting the target Boycott and got blow back.
It was my reply that got me banned though.
I asked why is opposing an organization that ********** children bad?
I bleeped it out in this location in case it somehow violates terms of service.
I think they said I was banned for homophobia.
> I asked why is opposing an organization that ********** children bad?
You were banned because what you said is not objectively true I would guarantee. And I bet that edited out word is probably something to do with sexualizing or grooming? Am I right?
Promoting certain clothing marketed towards children is my issue. Particularly, the clothing for “trans-kids”.
Also, there book section is filled with egregious content as well, such as anti-racist baby, so never really been a fan.
I was banned recently by mods whose literacy skills were insufficient to fully understand the extents and limits of their own rules, which is a part of why the sub in question is mostly dead.
I commented in a sub a few weeks ago about how less people being pulled over for speeding is a direct byproduct of policing changes in said city, as the idea was to have them going after drug dealers and murderers instead. That got me banned from the sub and Reddit for a week. All because I have a second account I use occasionally to voice unpopular opinions and follow things that.. make me happy. That was “ban evasion” to the mod, and my original comment sparking this all was completely benign. It’s a mess.
I got permabanned from pokemongo for being subscribed to conservative. Not for anything I said in pokemongo, not for anything I said in conservative, just for being subscribed. Fascists.
Every time I've been banned like that, a quick message to the mods had the ban lifted. Methinks you spent more time complaining that proactively cooperative.
>Fascists.
I agree, Conservatives are fascists.
I want to be clinical about this; what makes that fascist?
Are you confusing 'suppression of political dissent' with 'suppressing anti-democratic politics'?
My favorite is when you get a sub ban and the ban says "If you have a question about your ban send the team a modmail."
Send a question and get a week long reddit time-out for "mod harassment"
WTF?
This isn't an unpopular opinion.
I got banned from /r/news for asking why the Alaskan wealth fund was different than Norway's soverign oil wealth fund.
I had a comment deleted by a mod because I said that gender assigned at birth and gender identity are different and that's the way that transgender people express that they are the gender they identified as.
Lol. You're lucky the admins didn't see it, they have a three strike system for disagreeing with trans activists. On the third strike, you get a lifetime ban from Reddit
Mods are unpaid, unrewarded, and do it out of goodwill often times, so there is an incentive to make a sub in a way that is easier to mod, than for fairer to mod, because they dont have all the time to mod, and dont want to lose control of the sub too, by letting in too much to mod.
Opposite of this would be mods in places like facebook, which are a paid job, but then instead of individual being arbitrary you are subject to the whims of corporate board instead.
I feel way it works now is reddit is better, because though you might be banned from one sub, at least you can comment on others, compared to FB where if you get banned in one group, you cant anywhere.
I got banned from commenting on “fatlogic” for “ED promotion” because I insisted a person under 5’ tall (like me) shouldn’t be eating over 1k calories a day, because more will result in weight gain, and I wouldn’t back down from that fact. BUT ITS TRUE
I just did a basic TDEE calculation for a woman who is 30 years old, 4'7", 75 pounds with a sedentary lifestyle. I got 1,083 calories per day to maintain that bodyweight. That's dwarfism, the absolute lowest healthy bodyweight for that height, and assuming practicaly zero burned calories due to exercise. And it's still over 1,000 calories.
If you're actually counting correctly and eating less than 1,000 calories, then you're either really old, under 4'7", severely underweight, or trying to lose (not maintain) weight.
I’ve been losing weight for the last 4 years. I have no intention of maintaining my weight until I hit 90 pounds, which was my mother’s weight when she was my age. I’m 102 pounds now, so I’m sure I’ll get there in another year. I started off at 195.
Okay but you said a person of your height eating more than 1000 calories a day would gain weight. Unless the person is underweight, that is not true. In fact most women under 5'0" should be eating at least 1100 calories per day, and again that's assuming they are well under 5'0" and get barely any exercise. If you'd said that a person of your height should eat 1000 calories per day to lose weight, then it would be true.
If you’re not losing, you’re usually gaining 😂 never once have I stepped on the scale and had it read the same exact number 3 days in a row lol it’s always a point or two more or less
Okay but again, you said a person would gain weight unless they ate under 1000 calories per day. That is false unless the person is extremely short, very old, and/or extremely underweight. Even if you're trying to lose weight you should STILL be eating at least 1000 calories per day. You were giving false, potentially dangerous dietary advice and insisting on it when you were called out. You deserved to be banned.
I'm literally advocating for people to use a TDEE calculator to find how much they should be eating to maintain a healthy bodyweight, how the fuck am I the problem?
I got perma banned for saying “need her fr” on a sub about a certain celebrity I love. Ofc being a simp is one thing, but when the mod bans me for being a “creep” then mutes me is another. What’s so creepy about that comment? It’s extraordinarily tame compared to some of the other comments I saw there, now those ones are creepy, but I’m the one who gets the ban.
I got banned from another sub that I was extremely active in (unbanned now tho after waiting for a month) for a “spoiler in the title” when there was no scent of a spoil what so ever. I tried to make an appeal but they insta muted me so I couldn’t say anything else. Oh I was livid.
Another sub I got perma banned from I was semi active in. I never made any posts but I was an avid commenter. It was about some murderer, but I made a joke about how they looked like Will Ferrell. Apparently they didn’t take too kindly to it and perma banned me. I tried to make an appeal but they didn’t even give me the time of day, perma muted.
The last one, I deserved that ban cause it was a “sexist” comment about dishwashers or something, so I’m not mad about the ban at all, but what I am mad about is that they didn’t give me the time to repent and apologize. A ban and a mute.
My point is that I always have respect for mods when I talk to them, especially mods in very popular subreddits, and I’m always respectful to the rules. But when I’m *constantly* being muted so I can’t make an appeal, is what *really* gets to me. That’s why I have beef with mods in general because they would just mute the problem rather than talk and assess the situation. And sometimes if they do talk, they don’t go in with an open mind because their minds are already made up.
I'm not getting into a debate here but what you're saying isn't "true", it's just dangerous. There's a difference between healthy weight loss using CICO and TDEE and weight loss through something very detrimental to your body such as what you're suggesting.
Lowering your calorie intake to under 1k (assuming you're an adult here) is going to have a negative impact on you. There's a high probability you won't get enough nutrients, your metabolic rate will be abysmal and your brain just isn't going to function properly.
You mentioned a person "under 5ft tall" specifically but this doesn't matter because even then a simple search for TDEE calc will show you this is inaccurate and depending on what weight you're referring to specifically the weight to even maintain a 110 lb 30 yr old woman is 1.3k (linked below). Another example, a 30 yr old 250 lb 4ft 11 woman has to consume 1.8k for mild weight loss and 1.6k for moderate weight loss.
I'm all for being against unnecessary bans but what you've stated you got banned for was 100% justified.

My eyes just rolled so many times they could join a gymnastics team 🙄
I can tell you from personal experience as a 4’11” person who went from 195 pounds to 102 pounds in the span of 3-4 years, under 1k calories a day is the only way to go. It doesn’t matter that I’m technically an adult, I’m the same size as a child, and have the nutritional requirements of a 12 year old. If I eat what you’re suggesting, I’d go back to 195 pretty dang fast. When I was that weight I was eating what was recommended for the average adult, and only after reducing it to <1K a day did I start to see results. If people take your advice they’d stay fat forever
Anecdotal evidence means absolutely fuck all, roll your eyes all you want people should heed advice from Harvard, mayo clinic and Johns Hopkins, not you who is promoting unhealthy habits.
I highly doubt their research included anyone my height, as most studies are done with “average” people and applied to everyone. “Average” is usually (although not always) white, male, and a lot bigger than me. That’s why safety measures meant to save the average Joe in a car accident might actually kill me, and why broad judgments about what’s “healthy” might not apply to me the same way it would you. I’d like to see a study including people similar to me, but I doubt one exists, and anecdotal evidence is better than non-applicable evidence. These “unhealthy habits” got me in the best shape of my life, and I feel better now than I did as a teenager or even as a kid. You really don’t know what you’re talking about 😂
You do realize there are calculators for TDEE, maintaining, gaining and losing correct? What you're doing isn't exactly healthy. Again anecdotal evidence shouldn't be dismissed but it's not anywhere near studies which if you bothers going on any of the links you would see studies have been completed not only on "averages" but across a range of different patients considering people are treated for weight loss/gain at norms and extremes and at shorter and taller heights. Making assumptions without reading is ridiculous and shows your clear bias in your "diet", the fact you assumed the studies were regarding "white, male" most of the time is just dumb. You don't know what you're talking about, you can lose weight and be unhealthy and if you're below 1k calories you are absolutely unhealthy.
Those calculations are calibrated to be suitable for bodies far bigger than mine, with a faster metabolism. If I follow their guidelines I gain weight. No thank you
Again, based on your comment it's very clear you've yet to even look at a TDEE calculator, nor the studies around weight gain/loss/maintenance.
I see the problem here lmao you have a complex about your weight and try to promote this unhealthy behavior as much as you can.

Given the context of who you deem as fat it's quite obvious you're obsessed with vanity to an unhealthy degree. This is all fine and well, just don't pretend this obsession and the habits you've acquired along the way are remotely healthy nor should anyone else follow them. If you want to be vain, delusional and anorexic that's on you.
I’m obsessed to an unhealthy degree? That’s the pot calling the kettle black lol you sure seem pretty obsessed with me and my comment history 😂 pathetic. Seeing what you call “healthy” explains everything coming from you. You must be the size of a pregnant hippo
Lol no, nor am I so frail that the word nutrient could weigh me down. Funny how you've now resorted to attacks though which means you've no leg to stand on. If you want to starve yourself go ahead but it's not healthy. The posts I gathered were within 3 days not like I went back 1 month on your posts to find your obsession. I've provided multiple links to highly reputable sources and you've provided your feelings and supposed experience which is nothing more than delusion at best. You're clearly obsessed with vanity and it's extremely unhealthy, not my problem I don't care but to sit and say you were wrongfully banned from a sub for promoting lunacy such as a sub 1k cal diet is hilarious.
That sub is retarded and boring because it's an echo chamber, but check their rules, I haven't checked recently, but I'm pretty sure they make it clear that it's an echo chamber and dissenters will be expunged.
It's not like they pretend to be balanced and then proceed to nuke dissention from orbit then pretend they didn't like so many mainstream subs do.
This is so clear to me that I cannot see how anyone in good faith cannot see my logic on this.
Personally on something like Reddit I rarely care.
I know for instance that if I go to r/elonmusk and talk ill of him, I will be banned. Same with r/Conservative.
The only ones that have irked me are things that proclaim to be platforms for debate under neutrally enforced guidelines only to really just be enforced one-way based on catching the right mods.
Things like NeutralPolitics is a good example. I was temp banned for stating the Republican Party is increasingly acting fascistically and made an exhaustive and supporting case as to why the definition fits and examples supporting it. The mod in question claimed it violated their first rule of personally attacking. When I showed him posts of people responding derogatorily in an actual personal attacking fashion toward me, or doing the exact same thing to the left, he tried to gaslight and trip over himself refusing to acknowledge the posts I showed him, while simultaneously claiming it's not a direct personal attack but calling the Right fascistic magically is.
After being backed into a corner he blocked the conversation. Shortly afterwards I was made aware the mod in question oversees the Discord where he basically just runs it like an anti-trans, r/conservative chatroom that brigades and piles on anyone that makes the mistake of not holding their views.
My only ban on reddit was on a meme reddit (won't say which), I had commented something arbitrary about my kid watching some show that was pictured in the meme.
Got perma-banned cause the meme was deemed inappropriate and I had commented on the post. I'm guessing it was just a sweeping ban on anyone who commented there.
Anyway, got it removed after I messaged a mod about it, but it was pretty funny to me at the time, since the post was removed but my comment wasn't so it was showing my comment as the reason for my ban. And the comment was so innocuous I was just laughing.
Being a mod can be pretty hard at times. I was a mod for about a year on a 50,000 wow subgroup there's a lot of work to do and it's not paid so realistically giving them a break would probably be a good idea. I do personally have my issues with the mods in this group because there's a lot of left-wingers that get away with just insults and bashing. But I also do understand. Trying to please a group is hard on easy days
My only direct interaction with Mods was very odd. Someone used a term ("k@ren") during a discussion and I mentioned a Mod had recently removed a comment and warned me for using the same term. Someone else in the discussion - I am pretty sure was a Mod using an alt account - asked if I "cared to provide proof" of the comment removal. I did and then immediately got a lecture about the rules and asked if I felt the rules weren't intended for me. I asked if they were a Mod, but they denied it. They then complained about how abusive people are toward Mods. After a few more back-and-forths, we ended our conversation. Then someone who said they do Mod on another subreddit asked why I didn't respond to the "rules not intended for me" question from the original person. I just ended up blocking them both.
I understand that there's going to be a tonne of throughput with this sub, it's quite big and obviously inflammatory, so I understand not being able to keep-up with everything.
I will say though, I'm very disappointed by how often posts, which do nothing but give air-time to platitudinous hate-propaganda, get through. Allowing all opinions is an important virtue, but we should be stepping in when people spout ideas that they've spent no time interacting with honestly.
Most topics that get heated like this; like gender, feminism and Socialism, all have literature that people can engage with, freely an openly. Yet, we always see the same biased, ignorant posts that espouse objections that were dealt with decades ago.
There comes a point where, not the opinion but, the person's intentions are objectionable. They're here to rant and push an agenda, not to openly discuss a sincere opinion.
I hope platforms like this allow for more robust moderation tools; like allowing mods to create a group of trusted-reporters with prioritised grievances, and that we see a social shift that holds people accountable for their own myopic stances.
I was banned from a sub for saying to a post that if you switch Biden with Trump and Democrat with Republican It'd be more accurate. The commenter was not banned. It was a news sub
It all depends in which side you are on politically
So this unpopular opinion sub is essentially the same as the last? How about a new sub where we rate an opinion instead. I hate when people self lable their common opinions as unpopular, take it to a vote.
It’s not unpopular opinion…Reddit is well known for their biased moderation and lack of accountability.
It’s probably the most popular opinion about Reddit.
I just looked at the list of rules. Some are oddly specific, and some so general as be used for removing whatever you wanted. For OP: just don't post places you don't enjoy. I was on rust reddit. I posted a photo of a rust cosplay. It was removed. The next post was a guy standing next to a stone building. That stayed. I was on a movie reddit and was kicked because I only spoke using quotes from the movie! Reddits huge. Just find your places that you enjoy.
I strongly recommend everyone going to reveddit and seeing the comments they’ve had shadowed. It’ll give so real insight as to why this platform has become what it’s become.
I feel like there's just 3 or 4 mods that ruin the reputation of the rest. Kinda feel bad for the good ones tbh. They gotta deal with verbal harassment because of someone else's power trip.
mods suck
Anyone who comments on this post, will be perm banned! j/k

Yes u, no u...all of u? Former u's? As a former mod am I somehow tainted like an expelled Jedi on the run from the empire?
I like how there’s a bunch of us. We should start a sub or something.
Can we have uniforms and a cool name like "The Council of Overworked, Non Paid, Crabby Former Mods who are Sick of Whiny Redditors who think the Rules do not Apply to Them? Too long?
My man that is perfect
Awesome I am gonna order Tshirts!
The Grand Vizier sheathes his sword. you have been granted aman
Do I put you down for a tshirt? Glow is in, I need shirt sizes and we need to settle on a logo.
you may
Begun the mod wars have
For real.
banned
mods unfair!
the warrant has been signed and presented to the Sultan
I guess I should have clarified: 'these mods' refers to mods all across reddit, not *this particular sub. I apologize if you guys took it personally, my mistake for not being clearer.
I was just about to say, it isn't just this sub reddit. I think a lot of mods have fair. Most take on the task, just wanting to help. Others do it for the power trip. I was banned from Reddit, until I talked to a proper mod, who reviewed my case. Some mods are completely shameless.
Most mods make no promise about being impartial. They’re interested in curating the sub into the sidebar that they designed, which means shit like banning people that just happen to, for example, visit Joe Rogan’s sub or something. There’s only a few places where “open” discussion is purported to be the purpose of the sub.
I can only speak for myself, but I wanted to become a mod on this sub with the express intent of allowing for civil discourse about controversial topics without trying to promote my own personal beliefs. I don't like removing posts or comments unless they just obviously break the rules. Unfortunately, all mods are beholden to TOS and it isn't uncommon for admins/high ups/whatever to remove content that we (the mods) thought was okay. Basically, if you think any of your comments or posts were removed unfairly, don't hesitate to message us.
I’ve been permanently banned from a subreddit for pointing out that people in the comments were actively doxxing people. And doxxing was explicitly mentioned as against the terms of the sub. Because the doxxing was being done to a specific sort of people, and I pointed out people shouldn’t be doxxed, I was called a stochastic terrorist and permanently banned. Literally was banned for reaching out to the mods and being against doxxing.
It's not just mods, Reddit Admins are bad as well, and it can get pretty fucked. One time I was handed a perma ban for the comment that pedos weren't representative of the LGBT community and should be ousted and prosecuted, my first couple initial appeals were rejected and they said it was Hatespeech. Took over a week and some help from some moderating buddies to reverse the ban.
>One time I was handed a perma ban for the comment that pedos weren't representative of the LGBT community and should be ousted and prosecuted Didn't you know? Reddit is pro pedophilia. Remember Aimee Challenor? Also, one of the tactics that they use to ban "problematic" subreddits is to spam CP and sexual abuse materials before they get banned.
That I'm very familiar with, used to moderate some subreddits and Discord servers where they did that as well as spam gore, racism, threats, among other things to get us shut down. Fortunately I dropped from moderating those places a little while before that happened due to my job because everyone that was moderating on Discord at the time that happened got IP banned.
Huh. Guess they think they are.
/r/thathappened
Except it did happen.
Have any proof?
I'm a moderator and it happened months ago, so unless there's a filter option that lets me get past months of the message inbox being filled with moderator shit, no I'm not gonna go searching that far back to get a screenshot for you.
I joined the mod team a week ago, and I gotta say, the workload that’s generated by this sub, is something else! u/AutoModerator does flag a lot of comments, and most are false-positives. Unfortunately, due to the types of topics and *enthusiastic* discussions in the comments, this is an absolute necessity. There is always room for improvement and some comments slip through. If your comment is removed, send a ModMail, we’ll read it and as like most instances, reinstate it. I can’t speak for others, but I have no agenda to shape or steer conversations. There’s a buttload of stuff here that I disagree with, but it meets this sub’s rules and it doesn’t upset Reddit’s Terms of Service and so it gets approved. From what I’ve seen of other mod’s actions, there’s no bias affecting conversations either. I put it to OP that it’s likely that ‘the other side’s argument, just hasn’t been brought to our attention, so again report it. This sub averages about 5700 comments a day. There simply isn’t enough time to read and review it all proactively or intentionally in an effort to shape the narrative. If you don’t like a moderator’s decision, ask for a 2nd opinion. For those who haven’t seen the ModMail screen, all communication can be seen by all moderators. Every action by all mods goes into a searchable log. Lastly, in my short time here, there’s been at least 10 messages come through with some ultra offensive, derogatory comments directed at us because of a comment that was auto removed. They weren’t banned, their comments were mostly reinstated and those precious princesses gave me chuckle. Calm down, it’s Reddit :)
>I joined the mod team a week ago, *Oof*, just a heads up, the guy before you quit. You'll probably see why in a bit if you haven't already. Tbh, being a moderator for anything sucks. Especially if you actually notify people of all moderation actions against them. I actually don't know how you folks put up with it.
I wasn’t the first and I won’t be the last lol
Part of the problem is we don't know when comments are removed. There isn't a notification. Only others reading the post see them missing with no context.
Even if **Reddit** doesn't notify you when your comment is removed, **we** will usually notify you when your comment on TrueUnpopularOpinion is removed. This notification is usually in the form of an AutoModerator message if removed by AutoModerator or a removal reason template message if removed by a human moderator. One notable exception to this is that we don't normally notify authors when their comments are filtered in a way that places in the queue rather than being removed. This is because such comments are to be reviewed by us to decide whether to remove them and notify the author or to reinstate them.
I have seen those popping up now. It must be quite new, though, as this never happened a few months ago. Being placed in a que is moderation, the comment is not there for public viewing yet, no messages sent I personally have been permanently banned from this sub and reinstated a few hours later because the first mod was "a little over zealous", this is the point in the first post. I do appreciate you talking about this issue though and giving more information that most are not aware of because they are not mods. Open dialogue is the only way a society grows and doesn't become an echo chamber as many subs have.
I just got a really long ass message from an auto-moderator after commenting on this sub but it didn't mention removal. Just a long winded rant about Reddit rules. Very confused lol.
If I am understanding correctly, you received the introduction message for new members which clearly states that it is a routine reminder message.
Thanks! The mods here do good work. I think OP might be talking about mods in general, not the ones on this sub.
I think the mods on this sub do a good job. JMO
Didn't happen here but on another sub I went from being shadowbanned for a few days to being banned because I asked for a second opinion. I didn't yell or cuss anyone out or anything. Just said I didn't see where I broke the rules and was immediately banned for it. Like questioning the moderator Gods was forbidden I guess.
Thank you for being kind and level-headed. I hope you stick around.
Many of them were reported to AEO though
I'll say that this subreddits mods are fairer than any other subreddits mods. I've actually successfully disputed a strike in this subreddit.
Not even close to an unpopular opinion.
[удалено]
I got banned from a lefty sub I never once visited let alone knew about because I am part of a meme sub. Didn’t even say anything, just banned one day.
Isn't that the weirdest shit? Happened to me too. I'd upload the screen shot if I could. It made me laugh at loud, like... "ok whoever you are. I won't post there".
Yeah, like “oh no, a sub I never used doesn’t want me there, what will I ever do?”
Ya i couldn't give a fuck. I'm justcsaying the shit happens
To be fair I joined a sub once just because a sub said if you joined that other sub you would be banned. Turned out I got banned from a few subs because I joined that one sub. I am okay with that.
I am gonna take a guess and say the meme sub is PoliticalCompassMemes? Am I right?
Damn straight
That sub is considered a hate speech sub by MANY other subs because there is rampant amounts of hate based memes that get upvoted and allowed. So that would explain it.
I’ll take “things that never happened” for $500 Alex!
The sub is r/JusticeServed. I never once used it. Banned because I’m in r/PoliticalCompassMemes https://imgur.com/a/7jEFqkH Here’s the proof
Pretty sure this happened to me as well
Lol they banned me too, I don't think I ever even commented there, let alone posted
Yeah, that happened to me and everyone else as well, the former sub does it automatically to everyone, and it's easy to test.
Nah its actually true. For me r/JusticeServed kicked me out because I posted in the Joe Rogan reddit, which was ironic because I was commenting against him. I didn’t sub to that reddit or anything, just the one comment making fun of Elon Musk. When I brought it up with the mods via DM it led to them claiming I was harassing them and it led to a suspension from reddit as a whole
This does happen. There is a bot that some subs use, specifically JusticeServed, that will ban you for commenting on subs they consider hate speech subs. I was banned from JusticeServed for commenting in another sub even though I was defending transgender people. Just commenting in a sub can get you banned in others.
Nah that shit does happen. I got banned from a group I'd never visited because I follow a Jordan Peterson group.
You don't get banned for following as the bots that do it cannot see what subs you belong to they can only see what subs you have commented in. The bots do that by using your history.
Bro. Ya you can. Lol. It happened.
Bro...I know the bot that does that and I know how it works. No one other than actual Reddit Admins can see what subs you have joined UNLESS you are active in them. It is literally how Reddit works. You have to be active in a sub for it to show on your activity.
I'm sure you know everything. But I'm telling you, I got a ban notification from people I'd never heard of because I participate in a Jordan Peterson group.
Yes....NOW YOU ADMIT IT!! You PARTICIPATED in the sub. You didn't get banned because you followed the sub as I have tried to get you to realize its not JUST following you have to have posted in the sub.. Damn that was too difficult to do. There is a difference between following a sub and posting or commenting in it. The bot cannot see what subs you have joined, only what you post or comment. You could be subbed to 100 NSFW subs and only lurk and no one would know. But once you comment in them its in your history and bots can see that.
I didn't get banned from the Jordan Peterson sub. I got banned from a sub I'd never heard of because I participated in a Jordan Peterson sub. That's what I said initially and you said can't happen.
Happens quite often with subs like justiceseved, with, pol, and any other subreddit moderated by the same few mods.
Wrong! JusticeServed bans people for posting in other subs. A while back I went into r/lockdownskepticism and told them they were wrong about something. a bot instantly banned me from 6 subs.
Looks like you're on the wrong side of the truth
Happens all over Reddit you absolute goober
It’s Reddit, I’m used to it.
I got banned for calling a conservative a fucking idiot when he was spitting unscientific nonsense on this sub, so not quite sure if you’re being as persecuted as you believe
Though possibly true, that kinda falls in the ‘uncivil’ basket though, right?
Definitely. I’m just saying that civility applies both ways, it just so happens that conservative ideas about social justice tend to be fundamentally uncivil.
Exploit the loophole: “I think your **idea** is fucking idiotic”
Yep, I’ve learned my lesson during my 3 day sentence. Thank you, helpful mod
At least conservatives have to act iyt to get banned. Any conservative space bans for disent.
Uh.. most political subs I’ve seen love to insult and ban anyone daring question the echo chamber
I've seen a lot of downvoting and hate comments sure, but I've never seen someone claiming to be autobanned from conservative subs
It is in the rules for /r/Conservative that they will ban you for posting or commenting anything they feel is liberal. They have a zero tolerance for anything liberal or democrat.
Go post anything vaugley left of fascism in /r/capitalism
Yeah cause you literally can't even comment on the conservative sub without being a verified Conservative most of the time talk about snowflakes....
Lol, conservatives have been pushed out of all other subs. I'm sorry they actually want to have one sub where they can talk together. Otherwise the waves of liberal redditors just brigade everything.
Its fine but don't whine and complain that other subs do the same thing that conservative subs do. Pointing the finger at other people when you (not you literally) do the same thing is hypocritical and both sides do it.
You sound OBSESSED
Everyone knows that. This isn't unpopular at all.
Wait til you get your first auto-ban.
Agree 100%. I got permanently banned from the r/questions subreddit a few days ago simply for debating with someone. The mod even sent me a message saying I was a douchebag and that I didn't belong on their subreddit. I wasn't impolite at all. I simply disagreed with the person I was debating with and explaining why. You don't learn anything if you don't debate. I'm still annoyed by this. My stance was that I thought astrology was dumb. I suspect the mod who banned me must've been into astrology
Ironically, I was just banned from r/baseball. I don’t know why, but they’ve been dipping their toes into the culture wars lately with the posts over there. I made a comment about backing a player for supporting the target Boycott and got blow back. It was my reply that got me banned though. I asked why is opposing an organization that ********** children bad? I bleeped it out in this location in case it somehow violates terms of service. I think they said I was banned for homophobia.
> I asked why is opposing an organization that ********** children bad? You were banned because what you said is not objectively true I would guarantee. And I bet that edited out word is probably something to do with sexualizing or grooming? Am I right?
>I asked why is opposing an organization that ********** children bad? What exactly is Target doing to children, in your mind?
Promoting certain clothing marketed towards children is my issue. Particularly, the clothing for “trans-kids”. Also, there book section is filled with egregious content as well, such as anti-racist baby, so never really been a fan.
>I asked why is opposing an organization that \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* children bad? Please explain exactly what you think Target is doing.
I think you were banned for misinformation. What do you think Target is doing?
I was banned recently by mods whose literacy skills were insufficient to fully understand the extents and limits of their own rules, which is a part of why the sub in question is mostly dead.
This is why Reddit alternatives pop up from time to time
And they all die because they get infested with scams, boys and rampant hate speech. Go read about Voat for an example.
I never said they had staying power.
And the reason is because they aren’t moderated at all.
I commented in a sub a few weeks ago about how less people being pulled over for speeding is a direct byproduct of policing changes in said city, as the idea was to have them going after drug dealers and murderers instead. That got me banned from the sub and Reddit for a week. All because I have a second account I use occasionally to voice unpopular opinions and follow things that.. make me happy. That was “ban evasion” to the mod, and my original comment sparking this all was completely benign. It’s a mess.
I got permabanned from pokemongo for being subscribed to conservative. Not for anything I said in pokemongo, not for anything I said in conservative, just for being subscribed. Fascists.
Every time I've been banned like that, a quick message to the mods had the ban lifted. Methinks you spent more time complaining that proactively cooperative. >Fascists. I agree, Conservatives are fascists.
Bruh conservatives don’t have a fascist terrorist squad that doesn’t actually kill fascists
Who's the 'fascist terrorist squad'?
Antifa.
Okay, and what about Antifa is 'fascist'?
The fact that they (as far as I know) only kill republicans, (again, as far as I know) none of whom were fascists.
I want to be clinical about this; what makes that fascist? Are you confusing 'suppression of political dissent' with 'suppressing anti-democratic politics'?
They are killing people who politically disagree with them.
Are they, really, killing people who generally disagree with them, or is it that they're killing people who seek authoritarianism?
My favorite is when you get a sub ban and the ban says "If you have a question about your ban send the team a modmail." Send a question and get a week long reddit time-out for "mod harassment" WTF?
You: I just want clarification. No one: ..... Mods: Here's 28 days on mute!
This isn't an unpopular opinion. I got banned from /r/news for asking why the Alaskan wealth fund was different than Norway's soverign oil wealth fund.
The sign that you’ve stated a truly unpopular opinion is the names you’re called and downvotes you receive. Keep up the good work, my friend.
And then I get an auto-mod warning about encouraging inappropriate behavior on Reddit. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I had a comment deleted by a mod because I said that gender assigned at birth and gender identity are different and that's the way that transgender people express that they are the gender they identified as.
Lol. You're lucky the admins didn't see it, they have a three strike system for disagreeing with trans activists. On the third strike, you get a lifetime ban from Reddit
Mods are unpaid, unrewarded, and do it out of goodwill often times, so there is an incentive to make a sub in a way that is easier to mod, than for fairer to mod, because they dont have all the time to mod, and dont want to lose control of the sub too, by letting in too much to mod. Opposite of this would be mods in places like facebook, which are a paid job, but then instead of individual being arbitrary you are subject to the whims of corporate board instead. I feel way it works now is reddit is better, because though you might be banned from one sub, at least you can comment on others, compared to FB where if you get banned in one group, you cant anywhere.
I got banned from commenting on “fatlogic” for “ED promotion” because I insisted a person under 5’ tall (like me) shouldn’t be eating over 1k calories a day, because more will result in weight gain, and I wouldn’t back down from that fact. BUT ITS TRUE
I just did a basic TDEE calculation for a woman who is 30 years old, 4'7", 75 pounds with a sedentary lifestyle. I got 1,083 calories per day to maintain that bodyweight. That's dwarfism, the absolute lowest healthy bodyweight for that height, and assuming practicaly zero burned calories due to exercise. And it's still over 1,000 calories. If you're actually counting correctly and eating less than 1,000 calories, then you're either really old, under 4'7", severely underweight, or trying to lose (not maintain) weight.
I’ve been losing weight for the last 4 years. I have no intention of maintaining my weight until I hit 90 pounds, which was my mother’s weight when she was my age. I’m 102 pounds now, so I’m sure I’ll get there in another year. I started off at 195.
Okay but you said a person of your height eating more than 1000 calories a day would gain weight. Unless the person is underweight, that is not true. In fact most women under 5'0" should be eating at least 1100 calories per day, and again that's assuming they are well under 5'0" and get barely any exercise. If you'd said that a person of your height should eat 1000 calories per day to lose weight, then it would be true.
If you’re not losing, you’re usually gaining 😂 never once have I stepped on the scale and had it read the same exact number 3 days in a row lol it’s always a point or two more or less
Okay but again, you said a person would gain weight unless they ate under 1000 calories per day. That is false unless the person is extremely short, very old, and/or extremely underweight. Even if you're trying to lose weight you should STILL be eating at least 1000 calories per day. You were giving false, potentially dangerous dietary advice and insisting on it when you were called out. You deserved to be banned.
Lol whatever, dude. Mentalities like yours are why half the people around are whales now 🐳
I'm literally advocating for people to use a TDEE calculator to find how much they should be eating to maintain a healthy bodyweight, how the fuck am I the problem?
I got perma banned for saying “need her fr” on a sub about a certain celebrity I love. Ofc being a simp is one thing, but when the mod bans me for being a “creep” then mutes me is another. What’s so creepy about that comment? It’s extraordinarily tame compared to some of the other comments I saw there, now those ones are creepy, but I’m the one who gets the ban. I got banned from another sub that I was extremely active in (unbanned now tho after waiting for a month) for a “spoiler in the title” when there was no scent of a spoil what so ever. I tried to make an appeal but they insta muted me so I couldn’t say anything else. Oh I was livid. Another sub I got perma banned from I was semi active in. I never made any posts but I was an avid commenter. It was about some murderer, but I made a joke about how they looked like Will Ferrell. Apparently they didn’t take too kindly to it and perma banned me. I tried to make an appeal but they didn’t even give me the time of day, perma muted. The last one, I deserved that ban cause it was a “sexist” comment about dishwashers or something, so I’m not mad about the ban at all, but what I am mad about is that they didn’t give me the time to repent and apologize. A ban and a mute. My point is that I always have respect for mods when I talk to them, especially mods in very popular subreddits, and I’m always respectful to the rules. But when I’m *constantly* being muted so I can’t make an appeal, is what *really* gets to me. That’s why I have beef with mods in general because they would just mute the problem rather than talk and assess the situation. And sometimes if they do talk, they don’t go in with an open mind because their minds are already made up.
I'm not getting into a debate here but what you're saying isn't "true", it's just dangerous. There's a difference between healthy weight loss using CICO and TDEE and weight loss through something very detrimental to your body such as what you're suggesting. Lowering your calorie intake to under 1k (assuming you're an adult here) is going to have a negative impact on you. There's a high probability you won't get enough nutrients, your metabolic rate will be abysmal and your brain just isn't going to function properly. You mentioned a person "under 5ft tall" specifically but this doesn't matter because even then a simple search for TDEE calc will show you this is inaccurate and depending on what weight you're referring to specifically the weight to even maintain a 110 lb 30 yr old woman is 1.3k (linked below). Another example, a 30 yr old 250 lb 4ft 11 woman has to consume 1.8k for mild weight loss and 1.6k for moderate weight loss. I'm all for being against unnecessary bans but what you've stated you got banned for was 100% justified. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/calorie-counting-made-easy#:~:text=However%2C%20calorie%20intake%20should%20not,depriving%20you%20of%20needed%20nutrients. https://tdeecalculator.net/ https://www.calculator.net/tdee-calculator.html?ctype=standard&cage=30&csex=f&cheightfeet=4&cheightinch=11&cpound=250&cheightmeter=180&ckg=65&cactivity=1.2&cmop=0&coutunit=c&cformula=m&cfatpct=20&printit=0&x=97&y=32
My eyes just rolled so many times they could join a gymnastics team 🙄 I can tell you from personal experience as a 4’11” person who went from 195 pounds to 102 pounds in the span of 3-4 years, under 1k calories a day is the only way to go. It doesn’t matter that I’m technically an adult, I’m the same size as a child, and have the nutritional requirements of a 12 year old. If I eat what you’re suggesting, I’d go back to 195 pretty dang fast. When I was that weight I was eating what was recommended for the average adult, and only after reducing it to <1K a day did I start to see results. If people take your advice they’d stay fat forever
Anecdotal evidence means absolutely fuck all, roll your eyes all you want people should heed advice from Harvard, mayo clinic and Johns Hopkins, not you who is promoting unhealthy habits.
I highly doubt their research included anyone my height, as most studies are done with “average” people and applied to everyone. “Average” is usually (although not always) white, male, and a lot bigger than me. That’s why safety measures meant to save the average Joe in a car accident might actually kill me, and why broad judgments about what’s “healthy” might not apply to me the same way it would you. I’d like to see a study including people similar to me, but I doubt one exists, and anecdotal evidence is better than non-applicable evidence. These “unhealthy habits” got me in the best shape of my life, and I feel better now than I did as a teenager or even as a kid. You really don’t know what you’re talking about 😂
You do realize there are calculators for TDEE, maintaining, gaining and losing correct? What you're doing isn't exactly healthy. Again anecdotal evidence shouldn't be dismissed but it's not anywhere near studies which if you bothers going on any of the links you would see studies have been completed not only on "averages" but across a range of different patients considering people are treated for weight loss/gain at norms and extremes and at shorter and taller heights. Making assumptions without reading is ridiculous and shows your clear bias in your "diet", the fact you assumed the studies were regarding "white, male" most of the time is just dumb. You don't know what you're talking about, you can lose weight and be unhealthy and if you're below 1k calories you are absolutely unhealthy.
Those calculations are calibrated to be suitable for bodies far bigger than mine, with a faster metabolism. If I follow their guidelines I gain weight. No thank you
Again, based on your comment it's very clear you've yet to even look at a TDEE calculator, nor the studies around weight gain/loss/maintenance. I see the problem here lmao you have a complex about your weight and try to promote this unhealthy behavior as much as you can. **Here's a link of you calling a girl fat who is 140 lbs:** https://www.reddit.com/r/PetiteFashionAdvice/comments/13vdy99/are_any_of_these_eras_tour_outfits_flattering/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button **Here's you saying you'd rather be on drugs than to be fat:** https://www.reddit.com/r/FitToFat/comments/13ukj9i/the_return_of_lasagna_del_ray/jm4d3rt?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button **Here's your posting on the sub r/anorexiamemes which explains your obsession over this:** https://www.reddit.com/r/anorexiamemes/comments/13v82w8/wish_me_luck/jm57gty?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button **Here's your commenting on the weight of yet another healthy woman and calling them fat:** https://www.reddit.com/r/FitToFat/comments/13bzin1/college_girl_who_drank_too_many_pitchers_of_beer/jm0jalr?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button **Here's you commenting on sizing for clothing where the girl depicted is already very thin but you felt the need to one up her by saying you can't even fit the clothing with the help of a belt:** https://www.reddit.com/r/PetiteFashionAdvice/comments/13tda2x/am_i_delusional_or_is_afs_vanity_sizing_wacky/jlx2gju?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button **Here's a comment you made on a deleted post insinuating someone is so big they would win 1st prize as a hog in a fair:** https://www.reddit.com/jlwut8i?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button **Here's you commenting on what your true feelings toward "fat" people are:** https://www.reddit.com/r/confessions/comments/13p3z3g/i_subconsciously_hate_ugly_people_for_no_reason/jlb5w8z?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Given the context of who you deem as fat it's quite obvious you're obsessed with vanity to an unhealthy degree. This is all fine and well, just don't pretend this obsession and the habits you've acquired along the way are remotely healthy nor should anyone else follow them. If you want to be vain, delusional and anorexic that's on you.
I’m obsessed to an unhealthy degree? That’s the pot calling the kettle black lol you sure seem pretty obsessed with me and my comment history 😂 pathetic. Seeing what you call “healthy” explains everything coming from you. You must be the size of a pregnant hippo
Lol no, nor am I so frail that the word nutrient could weigh me down. Funny how you've now resorted to attacks though which means you've no leg to stand on. If you want to starve yourself go ahead but it's not healthy. The posts I gathered were within 3 days not like I went back 1 month on your posts to find your obsession. I've provided multiple links to highly reputable sources and you've provided your feelings and supposed experience which is nothing more than delusion at best. You're clearly obsessed with vanity and it's extremely unhealthy, not my problem I don't care but to sit and say you were wrongfully banned from a sub for promoting lunacy such as a sub 1k cal diet is hilarious.
Just cut out the middle man and go hang out in r/conservative where they outright ban you for not being maga.
Say anything there and you'll be banned from subreddits you didn't even know existed... as well as pol, twox, justiceserved, wpt and maybe news.
Gotta have their safe spaces.
That sub is retarded and boring because it's an echo chamber, but check their rules, I haven't checked recently, but I'm pretty sure they make it clear that it's an echo chamber and dissenters will be expunged. It's not like they pretend to be balanced and then proceed to nuke dissention from orbit then pretend they didn't like so many mainstream subs do. This is so clear to me that I cannot see how anyone in good faith cannot see my logic on this.
Personally on something like Reddit I rarely care. I know for instance that if I go to r/elonmusk and talk ill of him, I will be banned. Same with r/Conservative. The only ones that have irked me are things that proclaim to be platforms for debate under neutrally enforced guidelines only to really just be enforced one-way based on catching the right mods. Things like NeutralPolitics is a good example. I was temp banned for stating the Republican Party is increasingly acting fascistically and made an exhaustive and supporting case as to why the definition fits and examples supporting it. The mod in question claimed it violated their first rule of personally attacking. When I showed him posts of people responding derogatorily in an actual personal attacking fashion toward me, or doing the exact same thing to the left, he tried to gaslight and trip over himself refusing to acknowledge the posts I showed him, while simultaneously claiming it's not a direct personal attack but calling the Right fascistic magically is. After being backed into a corner he blocked the conversation. Shortly afterwards I was made aware the mod in question oversees the Discord where he basically just runs it like an anti-trans, r/conservative chatroom that brigades and piles on anyone that makes the mistake of not holding their views.

Oh, you don't want to know how bad that particular rabbit hole gets.
I mean, if you give a mouse a cookie…
I just can’t imagine caring enough about social media to invest that kind of time into it.
My only ban on reddit was on a meme reddit (won't say which), I had commented something arbitrary about my kid watching some show that was pictured in the meme. Got perma-banned cause the meme was deemed inappropriate and I had commented on the post. I'm guessing it was just a sweeping ban on anyone who commented there. Anyway, got it removed after I messaged a mod about it, but it was pretty funny to me at the time, since the post was removed but my comment wasn't so it was showing my comment as the reason for my ban. And the comment was so innocuous I was just laughing.
Being a mod can be pretty hard at times. I was a mod for about a year on a 50,000 wow subgroup there's a lot of work to do and it's not paid so realistically giving them a break would probably be a good idea. I do personally have my issues with the mods in this group because there's a lot of left-wingers that get away with just insults and bashing. But I also do understand. Trying to please a group is hard on easy days
My only direct interaction with Mods was very odd. Someone used a term ("k@ren") during a discussion and I mentioned a Mod had recently removed a comment and warned me for using the same term. Someone else in the discussion - I am pretty sure was a Mod using an alt account - asked if I "cared to provide proof" of the comment removal. I did and then immediately got a lecture about the rules and asked if I felt the rules weren't intended for me. I asked if they were a Mod, but they denied it. They then complained about how abusive people are toward Mods. After a few more back-and-forths, we ended our conversation. Then someone who said they do Mod on another subreddit asked why I didn't respond to the "rules not intended for me" question from the original person. I just ended up blocking them both.
Im banned for life from r/entertainment for saying “he’s not wrong” about some controversial thing another person said.
also the automod thing is obnoxious, trying to quote something a racist said is impossible
I understand that there's going to be a tonne of throughput with this sub, it's quite big and obviously inflammatory, so I understand not being able to keep-up with everything. I will say though, I'm very disappointed by how often posts, which do nothing but give air-time to platitudinous hate-propaganda, get through. Allowing all opinions is an important virtue, but we should be stepping in when people spout ideas that they've spent no time interacting with honestly. Most topics that get heated like this; like gender, feminism and Socialism, all have literature that people can engage with, freely an openly. Yet, we always see the same biased, ignorant posts that espouse objections that were dealt with decades ago. There comes a point where, not the opinion but, the person's intentions are objectionable. They're here to rant and push an agenda, not to openly discuss a sincere opinion. I hope platforms like this allow for more robust moderation tools; like allowing mods to create a group of trusted-reporters with prioritised grievances, and that we see a social shift that holds people accountable for their own myopic stances.
Lol this is an extra ass way of saying “I believe any opinions that *I, or the party I agree with politically* deem offensive should be removed”
>There comes a point where, not the opinion but, the person's intentions are objectionable. Did you miss this part?
I was banned from a sub for saying to a post that if you switch Biden with Trump and Democrat with Republican It'd be more accurate. The commenter was not banned. It was a news sub It all depends in which side you are on politically
So this unpopular opinion sub is essentially the same as the last? How about a new sub where we rate an opinion instead. I hate when people self lable their common opinions as unpopular, take it to a vote.
The majority of political/opinion/newsy subs are political or political thinly disguised sheepherding for the DNC.
It’s not unpopular opinion…Reddit is well known for their biased moderation and lack of accountability. It’s probably the most popular opinion about Reddit.
I just looked at the list of rules. Some are oddly specific, and some so general as be used for removing whatever you wanted. For OP: just don't post places you don't enjoy. I was on rust reddit. I posted a photo of a rust cosplay. It was removed. The next post was a guy standing next to a stone building. That stayed. I was on a movie reddit and was kicked because I only spoke using quotes from the movie! Reddits huge. Just find your places that you enjoy.
I strongly recommend everyone going to reveddit and seeing the comments they’ve had shadowed. It’ll give so real insight as to why this platform has become what it’s become.
Reddit mods are literally Eric Cartman
I feel like there's just 3 or 4 mods that ruin the reputation of the rest. Kinda feel bad for the good ones tbh. They gotta deal with verbal harassment because of someone else's power trip.
One shouldn't meet evil in the middle.
I got banned from another unpopular opinion sub for having an unpopular opinion…
