MODERATORS
I mean this with all the love in the world, but you're surprised that mods, in a gaming subreddit, are complete assholes?
This last year reddit has just been fucking trash all around, and I just... quit going, even though I still have things that the Fediverse just plain can't provide any useful content for.
Not because of anything spez did, or whatever stupid-ass money seeking bullshit they're trying next, but just that the content is crap and has gone from interesting and useful to trash. For example, the selfhosted subreddits went from cool software to being stuffed full of people who do NOTHING but argue about hosting email, and marketers telling you how easy it is to host something you can use to spam people. Just a degradation from good to shit.
And, even when it's not immediately obviously worse, it's still full of shitty bots, and the mods run around like they're fucking royalty and we should lick their boots.
I barely browse there anymore cuz well, I'm banned from the site as a whole for apparently being racist by pointing out racist behaviour of some black users to white people.
Reddit is so shite nowadays, there's barely any nuance or context consideration when it comes to mods'/admins' decision making process in doling out bans. Something as little as making a joke without adding a '/s' to indicate sarcasm can get you PERMANENTLY banned from a subreddit as a whole. Efforts to appeal only lead to one being muted from the mod mail. I honestly don't know how some people can have such a big power trip over being a fucking moderator of all things. Absolutely horrendous.
Had a similar experience. I took a very popular comment with racist remarks about white people and then replaced white with black to show the hypocrisy. Instant ban. These people work very hard on antagonising anyone that isn't far left.
to be fair, reddit is absolutely dogshit when it comes to detecting satire
