It's so stupid and worrying at the same time that select few individuals hold so much power on a discussion forum used by millions of people.

The reddit echo chamber gets more echo-y -- users now allowed to effectively moderate their own posts by AcceleratedWallops in MeanwhileOnReddit

Reddit has been dying for a long time and this is only one of the examples why it is not a good discussion forum anymore. To power tripping mods/admins to incompetent devs everything seems to be deteriorating into a user-hostile platform and a perfect opportunity for anyone to spread whatever misinformation/agenda they like with given enough time and effort. I have been hearing so many controversies about Reddit lately, and it is absolutely disgraceful and unacceptable for a website that promotes itself as so called "a platform for free speech" and "the front page of internet". And I can't imagine how many other controversies we have not heard of because of reddit's extensive ban policy against any post/comment that exposes them for this kind of shitty behaviour. I hope people realise how manipulated the content on reddit is by select few individuals and corporations, and mass migrate to another platform and let reddit rot, like it happened to Digg, which ironically enough how reddit earned its popularity today.

I'm so sick of Reddit's utterly incompetent and power tripping mods and admins. Reddit already has a very bad history of unlawful bans of users and subreddits just because some flimsy cuck admin/mod gets offended and just do whatever they want because the website has no sense of dignity at all. They ban almost everything that exposes their injustice towards their users and go rant about how their website "promotes" free speech. You can find hundreds of examples of such unfair bans and the admin team absolutely does fuck all about it because most of them are bunch of manchild losers that only have any kind of power or self respect online behind a screen and actually just enjoy abusing their power over regular users. They have no intend to make the website a better place.

And don't get me started on the design of the website or the app, it's just fucking horrendous. It's just another example to show that reddit is employed by absolutely incompetent people from the developers to admins to mods to even the fucking CEO himself that are unfit to run a fucking lemonade stand let alone an international discussion forum with millions of users.

The reason Reddit is so popular today is that people left Digg (which was much more popular than Reddit at the time) and migrated to Reddit after Digg Admins/Devs refused to step-back from some decisions the users hated with burning passion. There is absolutely no reason why the same thing can not happen to Reddit. I'm sure that are many people like me who are willingly switch from Reddit to a better platform, whether it be Saidit or any other forum.

And when it comes to 2b4y, I really hope this Reddit ban doesn't end the beautiful thing we had. It was my favourite sub and I'm both enraged and saddened by its ban. But it is evident that Reddit is not going to back-off from their decision, so the only thing left is for the community to stay intact and migrate over somewhere else. I hope this place grows bigger and can achieve even the glimpse of the former glory it once had.

This recent ban seemed to upset a lot of people, and it is certain that this is not going to be the last unfair ban hammer of the abusive admin team. So I'm hopeful more people will realise the corruption deeply integrated into the Reddit hierarchy and just fuck off from that cesspool.

And don't lose your hope Balkaners, historically we got over much worse shit than this, and a bunch of vitamin deficient basement-dweller trolls won't stop us. We shall prevail again
