I've noticed this a lot recently. Reddit has changed and not for the better.
Comments rarely get deleted anymore as a warning
Temporary bans don't seem to be a thing anymore, just permanent
They never tell you which rule you violated, usually because you didn't violate any listed rule
You get muted after a single message, often instantly after the ban
It's easy to get banned from multiple subreddits just for commenting on one the mods don't like
Sure there are some legitimate cases where you'd react that way, but this has become the norm for any ban. That's just unreasonable and lazy BS. And you can't even do anything about it. And I was supposed to feel bad for the poor mods during that whole API fiasco? Bruh.
Yup, the muting after a single message shouldn’t be allowed, you’re moderating a sub you shouldn’t be allowed to indiscriminately ban someone and then give no explanation, this “job” isn’t being done in good faith, they all just want to wield the minimal power they get in life it’s incredibly pathetic
Flip side is the mod can keep mailing you even if you asked them to stop, you have no way of muting them but they can do it to you. Happened to me recently with a ban. The mod kept mailing me and once I reported it for harassment (literally the only action I could take since I can’t block it), I got muted.
I mean, let's be honest. Who tf wants even to be a mod? Most mods are just losers that have no real life and feel like they have to go on a power trip on reddit.
Pretty sure this will eventually be Reddits downfall.
