View submission: Defending the open Internet (again): Our latest brief to the Supreme Court
Well at the same time moderators abusing their responsibilities has never been something reddit has taken seriously - is it any wonder people feel frustrated when reddit allows abusive people to take over communities, and disallows any sort of appeals process / mediation?
Reddit is itself a censorship machine.
There are a myriad of creative ways it could improve. But I guess it wasn’t getting any of the feedback and people were just leaving.

And I’m not just saying this to complain btw.
This is feedback.
Reddit can choose to act still, irrespective of what the government is doing on their end. It’s worth considering that the kinds of people reddit is alienating are actually those people who are questioning a status quo - this is how communities can become vibrant places for discussion and not just stagnant echo-chambers.
Food for thought.

Yeah, the mods are never civil. They curse you out, talking all sorts of shit then mute you for 72 hours.
