In all honesty it's not worth it.
Reddit from 2013 to what it is today is chalk and cheese.
This platform actually doesn't allow 'free speech' unless it follows a specific narrative and the general hivemind.
What people don't realise is that Tumblr was what Reddit is today. Once they shut Tumblr down they had no where to go and they came here.
That's the history of Reddit.
I have been here in one form or another since 2008. Seen a lot. Big disappointment is the way the anarchistic 'true web' spirit has truly been lost here and it's becoming a shouting ground for the same bipartisan bullshit.
Reddit when I joined 12 years ago was hilarious and awesome and full of differing opinions and tons of funny people making funny memes. Idk where the humor in this world went but we desperately need it back
The humour is still there in the real world. Problem is that people are finding it increasingly difficult to separate their online presence from real life.
I got banned from r/therewasanattempt for saying some people were mostly peaceful. That was deemed to be a racist statement. One strike. Muted for 28 days for asking why I was banned.

I meant more people who thought their ban was fair/thought it wasn't fair. But we'd love to talk to someone who also mods!
We did a study years ago where we interviewed someone banned from the New England Patriots subreddit. He hates the Patriots and annoyed them on purpose? :) His whole situation is very different than the folks replying to us who were banned because someone disagreed with their political views, or for other reasons--there are lots of them. We are trying to understand the complexity.
>*I meant more people who thought their ban was fair/thought it wasn't fair. But we'd love to talk to someone who also mods!*
I think you missed my point. I've been banned in ways I thought were fair, and in ways that I thought weren't. But I'm also a Mod, and one who thinks their bans were fair sometimes, and unfair in the sense that they shouldn't have had to happen in the other.
I’ve seen my fair share of subreddit bans, but I’ve gotten the big mama a few times as well (you really think I’m two months old?)
Your title just talks about subs but would you be interested in talking about the platform as a whole?
Brother I was banned from Steam community, my profile made private for 3 months cuz I pointed out that somebody had a lot of game bans on their profile.
