The biggest problem with Reddit is they allow moderators to ban people for expressing themselves.

I never had a problem with moderators banning people on reddit. My problem was admin quietly cherry picking moderators and admin outright banning subs they disagreed with politically. Not allowing moderators to ban people seriously messes up the flow of conversation. If I have a sub on bowhunting but it's constantly full of activist trolls I'm not going to be able to have a healthy discussion about the topic.

I don't think anyone wants a sub where nobody can be banned but certain moderators ban users who disagree with them, or have an opinion they don't like, or just for the hell of it. The rules aren't applied consistently or fairly across reddit.

When you have millions of users, individual users can seem disposable.

If you stick to the conservative subs that might be why you don't have a problem, they don't tend to be ban happy.

Totally agree about the admins. Rip r/waterniggas
