I was recently banned from the subreddit, r/Robinhood for making a comment about Robinhood’s shady practices. I quoted their own rule, “Don’t be you”, calling them hypocrites, and received a 7 day ban from Reddit the following day.

How can we draw attention to Reddit supporting a subreddit whose very rules promote and protect intolerance and harassment?

I encourage you to message Reddit directly and report this community.

    Kind of, yeah. If the forum in question is toxic (Twitter, Truth Social), then it’s best to simply tell people to stay away from it.

    The problem isn’t with interacting with conservatives - that’s actually very much encouraged. The issue is the silencing and pruning they will do to anyone who opposes their opinions.

    It’s just not worth the effort… The people who create echo chambers aren’t going to listen to the few that get through the gate. Reddit is 100% an echo chamber at this point. It’s not even just left or right… It’s just kind of a place people like to echo and yell now.

    The people of substance are largely gone. They are here now.
