Your mistake was thinking that reasonable people are in charge of Reddit.

So sad. I swear Elon should have bought Reddit before he bought Twitter.

There needs to be some way for communities to hold mods accountable. I have no faith in Reddit to fix it but if someone were to create another site similar I would jump to it. Even the best intentioned mods can so easily become dictators with power that cannot be questioned. Allowing random people to have absolute power towards others just isn’t a good system. Especially when so much of everything is politicized and polarized. One wrong word and lifetime ban. I used to pay Reddit so I could skip all the ads, but fuck this site, never getting a dime from me again.
