Reddit has sucked so hard since the election.

They’re turning far right too. I have comments silently removed all the time because some mod personally didn’t like what I said.

I had another account permanently banned from r /verticalwallpapers because I commented ‘Booo’ on a post of an AI generated Logan/Wolverine (X-men) wallpaper that showed him with 4 claws coming out of his hand… Literal blasphemy to an xmen fan.

The mod didn’t feel like defending their ban and just mocked me in response to my appeal. I reported them for harassment, and my 10+ year old account was permanently banned for all of Reddit. I’m still confused as to how I was in the wrong.

Reddit is circling the drain at this point as far as I am concerned.

I remember that old adage about reddit mods…

Man if they did that to my 10 + year old account I would never come back.
