  • I’ll just get this out of the way up front: Reddit sucks.

    While I understand your frustration, I think you’ve made some errors here. First, Reddit is not trying to be a free speech platform anymore. They are a totally subjective space that is ruled by the personal will of moderators and admins. They don’t have to explain anything to you, it is their house, and each sub is an arrangement where you pretty much just have to take it as it is, or leave it.

    “Fucking assholes like you” and “is it normal to act like that” are antagonistic statements. From their perspective, you are a stranger antagonizing them on their turf—the easiest and quickest solution for them is to just get rid of you.

    When they removed your comment, it seems like it could have been left at that. They didn’t want your comment. So it goes. By fighting it, you contributed to a situation that resulted in you being perceived as a troublemaker.

    If you feel like you can’t speak your mind on a platform like Reddit, the answer is to find a different platform—not fight the Reddit dragon with complaints and insults.
