I’m really tired of the excessive moderation on some of the subreddits. Reddit is a place for open discussion. Period. It’s a social network for people to connect and discuss similar interests and topics. It’s naturally regulated by people’s votes on posts.
So why is it that someone can take a very simple subreddit name for a popular item/topic and suddenly dictate what can and can’t be said. I think that Reddit has site wide rules for a reason and they are clearly thought out and a lot of decision goes into them. Meanwhile a moderator can just decide to delete your post because it doesn’t match one of their many stupid rules. It’s not fair as it takes what you assume to be a very open platform and curates it to the interest of a specific person.
I should be able to post whatever I want as long as:
- It’s relevant to the description of the subreddit
- it does not break site wide rules
- you’re not repeatedly posting the same thing
If it’s not something that the community agrees with then they would naturally downvote the post. If the user gets too many downvotes from multiple posts then they would be banned
The absolute worst ones are where your post isn’t visible until they approve your post

I saw a guy get banned from r/rants for saying he thought BLM was being used by communists.
He can be wrong, let him lose karma. Banning him just gave him proof he was right.
