automod filters made reddit an absolute nightmare. pouring my heart out on the depression sub and getting it removed because it didn’t have 300 characters or it was image post saturday or god knows what. you basically just don’t get to post on any sizable sub — before it was at least a lottery! post, see if people will like it! but now you can’t even get a post through!

there are 50 automod filters on everything, forbidden words or topics, perfectly good questions cast away to megathreads no one reads!

it’s a dire, awful landscape, and really terrible user experience, having something on your chest and wanting to post, but oh hey this won’t be posted until our ‘mod team’ ‘reviews’ it. isn’t that what voting is for? please stop treating me like a spambot or troll by default!

      Every subreddit I listed had the biggest pussies for mods. I didn’t include any subreddits where my appeal was accepted without the mods saying something along the lines of “you’d better behave yourself this time”

      Shout-out to /r/me_irlgbt mods for being chill and immediately unbanning me because I only visited /r/conspiracy to argue with flearthers
