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.

They allow rapists to keep their subs and woman haters yet they just shut down gendercritical... a sub for women who wanted to voice their opposition to men just being able to declare they are women to take away women's rights. They kept Gendercriticalguys open though... guess men are allowed to have a voice but not women. Just shows how reddit hates women. If you hate women so much, chances are you don't even have many actual women working for you. Let's get something clear.
If it weren't for a woman giving birth to your sorry butts, you wouldn't be alive. Why do you hate women so much? The LGBT has shown their sexist true colors by allowing straight men to enter claiming to be lesbians with penises. Why should women be treated like this? You are a sexist company and you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm going to guess the only women that you hire were born male. There is a difference between the way biological males are treated vs. females and it shows. I'm sick and tired of sexism being allowed to openly continue. So for all of the men's rights activists and incels that hate women... what rights don't they have? Women are the least considered and reddit you stink. You are yet another men's rights activist woman despising company.

With the help of Reddit we can learn something, but it depends on which community we are in and it's members.

I Posted on the Canada subreddit about lack of funding for Autistic people in Canada. My Brother is severely Autistic and I told my families story. The replies I received to this thread were amongst the worst I have ever read on the internet. It was simply an unimaginable amount of verbal cruelty. I received several personal messages that they would voluntarily kill my brother and myself for wanting to ''suck off the pubic tit''. Included in the thread were phrases like ''animal'' ''waste of skin'' and ''genetic trash''. I contacted the Reddit Canada moderator and received a dismissive reply of ''This is the internet, what do you expect?''. And something about ''free speech'' blah blah blah.

There are seriously cruel and mentally unstable people using this site and moderators that seek to condone and even encourage such behavior. What a terrible site.

I used to admire this site and once felt proud as it helped me with a lot of issues about techs, gadgets and privacy. Now I see that it's a propaganda machine. It's like CNN now and no difference between Reddit and facebook or youtube.

Horrible site.

I don't post on Reddit because it takes an act of Congress to do so. Reddit is at best a porno site pretending to a social platform.

Bad moderators delete posts for no reason other than they don't agree with you. Terrible interface a royal pain in the but to use. SOme good info WHEN your post remains undeleted SOMETIMES. Other times no replies even for legit nonspam posts. Another giant that needs to be broken up and thrown to the wind.

BS site, censors and a pita to use. Dont contribute to sites like reddit, they need to DIE and die quickly. All new posts on reddit are automatically given a message that their post has been deleted. Subgroups run by reps of the companies they are supposed about so they can delete negative posts about those companies. Deleted posts weeks after being made due to complaints from those criticized. Just another corrupt site run by corrupt moderators and admins.

The negative reviews are true. There are toxic and abusive people on the site. Don't expect a moderator to empathize with innocent posters who are the target of harassment. Bullies/trolls on Reddit can make up lies and embellish situations. Moderators shouldn't blindly believe the cyberbully. Do your job and don't allow an environment where bullying is encouraged.

Like much of the internet it's all designed for phones so if your post isn't seen within a few hours nobody is going to see it. You can't be there as a nobody therefore your going to get bumped pretty quickly. Reddit is FULL of left wing idiots that don't have a clue and if they do wake up they act like they are in shock and stumble around drunk.

They only allow 'fake' conservatives that cuss and look extreme likely rednecks to paint a redneck picture. These are the conservatives that used to call Rush Limbaugh saying "I'm not a liberal BUT" and after a few questions would get REALLY nasty and talk over him. They were banned from calling back several years ago during the Obama era but once in a while would go around it on open line Friday.

They would get caught each time. They would do this to other Conservative talk hosts too. They eventually ran out of juice there once Hillary's Fairness Doctrine collapsed so they are using the web to push 2020 election since they failed against Trump.

If we let them win the entire NATION will be like Reddit with nothing allowed except whatever puts Hillary in a good light. So all the conspiracy theorists will be gone unless they act 'neutral' about her bad deeds and not say anything.

Reddit is example of broken economy. Want more of it?

Oops your posting too much. Please wait ten minutes to reply.

Censorship galore

This communist site is owned by Chicom and censor free speech and political dissidence accordingly. They have sold their souls the the devil and their asses to Xi Xingping. True patriots stay far away

This platform is committing illegal election interference and regularly censors speech and opinion of anyone right of Stalin. It is a dumpster fire. Avoid at all costs!

Too much censorship
March 2, 2020

I enjoyed many of the subreddits and met some great people. The issue is the obvious left-wing bias the administrators have. They quarantine and ban reddits that lean right, while ignoring some of the same behavior on left leaning reddits. They claim to be a free speech platform, but they aren't. Its a shame that the admins allow their bias to screw up an otherwise great site.

I used to love this site back in 2012 or so, but it was a different site with different values back then. Open, witty and humerous discussion was common and ideas flowed abundantly. Not so now; diversity of ideas is forbiffen; EVERYTHING is forbidden on reddit now. Just saying good morning can surely get you banned these days; it is not worth even considering a visit any more.

Open discrimination
March 2, 2020

The site appears to be full of communists who engage in heavy group-think and in group/out group harassment, brigading, slander and spread of fake news. Any casual disagreement will likely have you banned. Freedom of speech doesn't exist here.

An extremely toxic site full of communists and socialists. They are bought out by China and other foreign entities and try their best to interfere in elections all over the world by pretending that their astroturfed headlines and users are real and unbiased. Disgusting company and completely bigoted against those who hold different beliefs.

I posted a comment under a Bernie Sanders page. I wrote that the Communist Control Act Of 1954 needs to be enforced, and instantly banned. I guess Reddit proved my point. Are we living under communism and the Constitution doesn't apply anymore! Freedom Of Speech is being destroyed. The entire constitution is being stomped on, and it's a SAD DAY IN AMERICA
