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.

If you want to have nothing but far-left propaganda on a constant loop, and a community of far-left people all patting themselves on the back, then look no further than Reddit!

By actively suppressing and banning anyone with a dissenting viewpoint, Reddit is turning itself into the perfect model of Orwellian control to kill free speech.

Not surprising, since they recently accepted a lot of Chinese money.

Leftist $#*!hole
June 28, 2019

They live in lies and can't handle the truth. All opposition gets banned sooner or later.
They are conspiring with other tech giants to destroy anything to the right from communism.

Save yourself the time if you happen to be Conservative, Libertarian, Centrist or just plain old reasonable... this site is not for you. Used the site for over a decade and it has become a shell of its former self. It used to be a great place where people with similar interests could get together and chat about various topics, but then something changed and the site went full authoritarian-Left and is currently mass banning any sub section (subreddit) that doesnt to the line.

They have ruined everything great about the site in order to become yet another propaganda wing of mass media. Reddit is no longer 'The Front Page Of The Internet,' it's now just a place to push specific ideals and values, there is no community or free speech anymore.

Despite being quite vast, their clicks are worth much less than Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, agreeing with this source:

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/11/reddit-users-are-the-least-valuable-of-any-social-network.html

You will be trated like a piece of garbage just for disagreeing with other moderators, who will ban you without thinking twice.

I don't want to be treated this way and neither should anyone else.

No Free Speech here
June 26, 2019

It's nothing but censorship of anyone with views different from theirs. Free speech does not exist at Reddit.

While this site claims to be a place for community dialog and conversation, it falls well short of it's intent. I would say it approaches Berlin wall era censorship.

Brainwashing 101

What once was a bastion of free speech was infiltrated by those that seek to censor and control your thoughts and to promote their anti-white agenda.

I have been on this site for over 6 years, and I have never seen anyone on The_Donald sub call for violence.
You can go to any other sub and see vile threats against our President, and reddit allows it to stay, and even promotes it.
If you want to join a site that is akin to commie wannabe propaganda, and led by globalist tools, then reddit is the place for you.
But if you are looking for freedom of speech, then look elsewhere.

Basically, outside of very niche subverses, most of the content is either advertising for something or pushing a particular narrative. Actual content does exist in some niche subs (hobby subs for example) but the frontpage and most larger subs are basically corporations trying to influence people. Anything very popular (or very unpopular) is generally that way only because of bots and algorithms means to promote or suppress certain ways of thinking.

Actual Hell Hole
June 26, 2019

Numerous times Reddit has released statements saying they aren't politically biased. They have once again proven themselves to be exactly what they say they aren't. Facts become opinions even with cited sources.

Reddit was once my favorite website... Now they are nothing but the enemy of the people,

Basically the entire front page is paid for, Upvote bots active on many leftist subreddits. Not only that but one of the owners of the site was caught editing comments. They even reset the upvote counter of some pro trump posts and even banned a subreddit off the front page because it was pro trump.

Reddit is run by thought police who hate freedom, liberty, and history.

The nature of the platform is to disenfranchise those whom hold dissenting opinions; joy in ignorance and the dismissal of new and challenging thought is the unintended core of reddit's ethos.

It is a sick place, run by sick people.

A mini dystopia
June 26, 2019

Reddit has slowly gotten worse over the years and since accepting money from a Chinese censorship company any opinions that are not agreed with are swiftly silenced while communist subreddits that advocate for the murder of cops are allowed to reach the front page. Not worth it anymore.

It's as the title says... Nonsense bans or quarantines to some subreddits are being dolled out on a weekly basis while vile subs - like r/ChapoTrapHouse - are allowed to persist untouched. Give r/WatchRedditDie and r/SubredditCancer if you want some examples of what I'm referring to.

This site's being turned into a tool to push an agenda, just like Facebook and Twitter, and I hope it fails because of it.
