I posted on a food sub, saying "that looks incredible* something innocuous like that.
Bot removes my post, contact mode team because I cannot quite believe what I read. Auto mod, (cannot believe it was a human), tells me the same thing. Reddit has profiled me as being disruptive & I can post once I have “improved my standing”
Things like this are a red rag to me, always have been. Anyway, the food sub is muted, & reddit can get fucked, I’ll post my opinions whether any bot likes it or not till I’m inevitably banned for failure to “conform” to their disgusting agenda.

Eventually, all these tech companies scale up to a size where they don’t have to give a shit about people anymore. They only care if you’re a celebrity or somehow manage to create a big PR show that they have to respond to. But at this point, regular people are just like blades of grass that will eventually get mowed down somehow and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Now it’s dead and time to move on.

Horribly accurate. I remember the good old days when imgur was to all intents & purposes a porn site, now it’s some sort of self help horror show where the appearance of a nipple is tantamount to a crime against humanity.
