F-Reddit. What were you censored for saying on Reddit, and what event was the final straw before leaving?

I didn't get banned, but I noticed that the quality of conversation slowly went downhill until it was all but useless, and that somewhat controversial (but not really that controversial) news topics just got censored out of existence. I closed my old account, but I keep one that I use for read-only, because reddit is still a decent resource for things like SBC technologies and whatnot.

I had participated in some topics over the years that were hot buttons for tards, and call me paranoid but I was also seeing some weird stuff on that account and it's associated Imgur account. Wiped them both. Just comments along the lines of "how'd you know that?"

edit: People were making comments on my profile that were, to me, how did you know that about me?

I think the only thing behind the curtain at Reddit is a pile of dog shit.

Even the tech subs are all but useless these days. Last time I tried to ask a question about something, it was all "Why are you using that, that's too old, do this instead!" Yeah fucker, I'll just tell my employer that the 100k worth of equipment needs to be replaced because some jackass on reddit went reeee.

sysadmin and the audio engineering subs got overrun by corporates, I think, pushing their packaged methods and products, but reasonably subtly.

Sad, used to be some good tips and tricks for those of us who actually understood what we were doing at a technical level.
