Where did all this reddit hatred come from? - eviltoast

I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren’t hating on the old place so much.

Recently I’m seeing this huuuuuuuge surge of just pure fucking hatred leveled at the site itself. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

I mean, I was there because I thought it was alright. I hated spez for fucking it up and completely screwing his communities over. But I never hated reddit itself, and I still don’t. Otherwise I would’ve left a lot sooner.

Do you personally hate reddit? If so, why?

    if you get banned from enough subs you get that account suspended. try to come back as an alt and get banned again, your get ip banned from the site.

    powermods would abuse their position as mods of multiple subs to silence and harass people they didn’t like or agree with. I myself was a victim of this.

    it doesn’t matter if reddit is woke, what matters is the behavior. doesn’t matter if the powermod in question is left or right leaning, they still basically have the power to ban someone from the entire site, merely because they don’t like your politics, or worse, one comment you made on one sub.

    even if that comment is bannable, doesn’t mean you should be banned from unrelated subs, let alone the site. it’s also double ridiculous when you are a power user or other significant person in the sub who has helped build the community and some power mod decides you’re a threat to them.
