Reddit Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from perceived censorship and biased moderation practices. Many users express frustration over account management issues, such as difficulties in deleting accounts and unjust bans, which contribute to a sense of being silenced. While some appreciate the platform's diverse content and sense of community, the overwhelming sentiment is one of disillusionment with the site's environment, described as toxic and unwelcoming. This dichotomy highlights a pressing need for improved moderation transparency and user support to enhance the overall user experience.

I have given up
August 28, 2021

This site is so bias. Even the subreddits that have nothing to do with politics are full of anti-Trump rhetoric for absolutely no reason. And they ban, delete, and downvote your post/comments if you disagree with them. The site is full of what is obviously high school age children, and they are all bullies. This site is so toxic. I deleted the app.

CELSIUS GONG SHOW xrp
So you think CELSIUS is trustworthy? I sure don't and here is why.
May 6,2021 I send my XRP to CELSIUS from another wallet.
May 10,2021 CELSIUS sends me an email confirming they located my XRP.
May 11,2021 I transfer a small amount of XRP to CELSIUS confirming my wallet is correct and it arrives in a few minuets so all is good.
June 25,2021 I send a reminder request - where is my XRP that they have in their possession.
July 1,2021 They send me another email confirming they have my XRP.
July 31,2021 CELSIUS creates another ticket for my XRP
Aug. 3,2021 again CELSIUS confirms they have my XRP
And here it is Aug. 20,2021 and still NO XRP delivered to my CELSIUS wallet
All I can say is that I cant wait until regulations are in place so such companies can be held accountable for such actions – There needs to be an arbitration process so CELSIUS and others can not get away with this type of nonsense. It has been over 3 months now and still no XRP, never mind the weekly bonus I have lost in the mean time also.

This site has become so biased it's not even funny. Yesterday I saw a guy saying he was going to kill himself because of the covid mandates, commented and went back to see how he was only to see that entire group had been shut down because reddit doesn't like what they have to say about covid. If you don't agree with what mods think you will be banned, there's no diversity of thought and I can't wait for this site to fade into oblivion.

I have contributed tons of solid pieces of articles on Reddit, but alas the members see it as spam and reported it multiple times.
These articles were well blogs and some youtube videos of the product that I was using, but to my notice, I was falsely reported and got banned from that subreddit, after few months I created another account to post new content on the subreddit where my previous account was banned and BOOM it happened, my new and previous account all suddenly got Banned.

Just take my advice, Reddit doesn't deserve any contribution, it has the most $#*!ed users and admins in the group. Don't create an account for just promoting your articles, blogs, website or any other stuff.

Poorly run site
August 7, 2021

Reddit operates by giving ‘Moderators' their own little kingdoms to run anyway they want. And Reddit has no oversight over these little dictators. Unfortunately some Moderators abuse their role, have their own agenda or are uneducated and don't understand how to be impartial. This Moderator model will ruin Reddit. Hopefully soon.

The moderators can ban you from certain groups and NEVER respond to your queries about why you were banned.

Your posts get removed, you get down voted, and your Karma is so far in the negatives that you can't even post or reply anymore—all because some crybaby or crybabies don't understand facts. Most of Reddit users are unintelligent basement-dwellers still living at home at the age of 42. Hopefully they don't procreate.

I was permanently suspended while I hadn't been on reddit in months and I didn't even get on it but 2 or 3 times when I created it. I only posted pics of my Galaxy Fold 2, my Spigen case for it, screen protectors, and my Galaxy Buds Pro when they came out. I got off and ​got back on months later my account permanently suspended like wtf? It's all good though the app SUCKS anyways. Just doing a review because that was f'd up!

When it comes to Reddit, people either love it or despise it. And, to be honest, I agree with both of them. What I mean is that I found some amazing community over on Reddit since the beginning of the Pandamic, and they immediately bonded with me, and we share a lot of information together. However, I have seen some really bad subreddits that should have been closed because they cause more harm than good.
In the end, I believe Reddit is a good platform, and I enjoyed spending time there during the Pandamic, but if they could improve their monitoring system, this platform would outperform all other types of social media.

Besides the cumbersome nature of interacting with their content online, the shoddy appearance and layout, the rules that are barely enforced for some but used as a hammer for / on others, this site is garbage. I don't suggest it all. Most users are ok, a great many will bully or talk down to you. LOTS of children. LOTS and of disgusting content. Apparently it's ok to post violence as long as it's a cop getting hurt, and you better not stand up them either. I left Imgur because of extremism but I'd rather have no SM at all, as Reddit has been the largest disappointment in social media, ever. Even Facebook is doing a better job. There is no free speech on Reddit, lies and misinformation is rampant, oh and deleting is cumbersome and difficult. If I could give negative stars I would.

This is not the first time Reddit decides to shadowban random accounts. I used Reddit for chatting, commenting on posts asking for help in the computer-department (I am a computer engineer). So, one day I got a problem and I thought: Let's ask Reddit! I posted my question. 5 days later; no replies. That's odd. No up- or downvotes either. Then I browsed my history and all my comments and posts didn't have any replies or whatsoever. A quick search and checks made me realize I have been using Reddit for over a year while I am shadowbannend! I was literally talking to... NOBODY! I asked Reddit about it, which they encourage in these kind of situations, but I did not get any reply back.

I created a new account, on a different machine with VPN. After an hour: shadowbannend. No reason, no message... Nothing. What the **** is wrong with Reddit? Is the mighty Reddit finally down and reached the bottom? I have been using it for 7 years, 1 year for nothing. I would rather go to Facebook or Twitter instead of this piece of sh*t Reddit.

I'm the social network geek and I heard about Reddit for all across the globe. I decided to try it and face some difficulties. First - it's hard to navigate through reddit after years of using insta and facebook. Second - sometimes I cannot understand what are peoples' aims and interests. On the other hand, there are thousands of unique subreddits with priceless content, so I'll continue my way to explore reddit.

Moderators are unfriendly. You don't get any responses from anyone on it. It's not worth even signing up for. Reddit is also a toxic social media outlet. I wouldn't recommend Reddit to anyone.

I actually thought I found a good site, until I disagreed with the most obvious thing to disagree with. Then some little crybaby reported me and I got banned. Did they look at what the crybaby said? Nope they agreed with the crybaby. What a bull$#*! site

Whatever group on reddit that your on will banned you if they don't like your comment! I made a comment about wearing a mask on a post in a group called Texas. Now I'm banned for three day's because they didn't like the comment I made. They said I was banned and I created another account. You reddit!

Do not use reddit for military advice. This forum isn't military friendly and has many fake posts. Everything on there puts the military and any members down.

Reddit is a biased platform that is a slave of current government. There is no freedom of speech on that platform. Even innocuous posts about truth of government are removed. Pathetic.

It would be nice, if it wasn't full of toxic people who don't welcome other opinions. After banning you unfairly, they'll ban any new accounts that you try to make. I like the idea of the coins and different awards. Too bad I was banned after I spent money to get them. I opened a case with Paypal to hopefully get my money back. Reddit is toxic.
