I am really sad because I love Reddit and think it’s a great and easy to use platform. The only issue in my opinion is the lack of free speech which produces the echo chamber effect. Furthermore banning you for live is a bit too harsh I think even when you really broke the rules. The current ban system does not count that people can change factor and provide second chances after an year or two…
The issue is when comments that contradict someone’s opinion are also considered a hate speech. I believe that anyone should have the freedom to express his opinion without the risk of getting banned.
My 6 years old account was banned recently too, for a comment that was considered a hate speech, however i dont even remember what exactly i wrote, as the comment was deleted by Reddit. I just know that I was very careful in my writings, so it came as a huge surprise. I guess our only chance is to wait for some future policy change or X like event where many accounts were given a second chance and the ban policy was loosen after Elon Musk bought twitter.
Unfortunately this is the current situation with many of the subs there. I really hope things will change in the future…
