Anyone Else Disenchanted with Reddit?

Not sure how much effort i want to put into this, as i’ve already wasted enough time on it, though it might be interesting to web sleuths. Basically, i’m not sure reddit was ever a quality site, but it appears to me it’s been getting crumbier and crumbier with funny tokens and power ups and by my observation poor moderation. TLDR i got banned from the buttcoin sub for exhibiting common behavior, and now i’m getting the runaround. It wouldn’t bother me except that there are no good alternatives to reddit. Anyway, here’s the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/t30iej/comment/hys6a0k/


Any sub that gets even a little traffic by now is so heavily moderated as to be useless as far as submitting content is concerned. Pre-2015 reddit is gone for good. Now everything is moderated to death. Not just subs but admins have tons of power too and readily ban users or subs for the smallest of reasons.


There are some subs with toxic moderation but the subs that get big without heavy moderation tend to die a worse death.
