Today on reddit I posted 3 comments on a post on the front page. They were deleted by mods, and to verify my account, I have to send them a picture of my forearm showing my skin color. If my skin is not dark enough, I don't get approved.

You must have missed their content policy update:

"While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate."

I wonder when women are going to lose their privileged status then, since they are the majority.

Privileged? We were driven straight off that site. There isn't a single sub for women on reddit that doesn't have troons modding it. Go look at the front page and count how many "karens" you see. Not to mention the daily front page posts whinging about "dae men have it worse" with 50 000 awards. You have to be literally psychotic to think reddit is anything but a haven for misogynist 12 year olds at this point.

I don't think it's that people missed it. It's that we don't care for it. It's a policy implemented and used as a cudgel to promote division masked as diversity.
