I hate googling things and just being lead back to reddit... Where my account was permabanned for "Report Abuse", something literally not even discussed in their TOS

And they're not every clear on if I'm allowed to use an alternate account, they just said "If you go onto another account and continue this misbehavior it'll be banned", which sounds like I'm allowed to use an alt, but..... only if it plays by the rules, but else where I'm seeing that "Ban Evasion" is against the rules, so which is it Jim Jam?

I genuinely think Reddit might be the worst social media site just cause of the egregious amount of echo chambering. And I'm not even talking about only one side of the political spectrum is on the site, it's sub-dependent. If you don't fully agree with anything in a community you run the risk of the ban hammer at the very least in the community and possibly even site-wide. Every single community (and apparently Reddit) has at least one rule that's vague enough for them to justify removing posts/banning people they don't like with it. And even worse, everyone on the site thinks they're the epitome of intelligence cause they've been in their circlejerk forever.

The kind of people who mistake their own ass for an air freshener.

tbf I feel like lemmy also has a lot of echo chambering, it's literally 70% tech nerds and nearly everyone is atheist

@midas10 @HawlSera this is the reason I got rid of reddit long before last chaos. It was like everyone tried to send message "you could think exactly like us or you are traitor, crazy, human trash and you deserve the worst". It was too exhausting for me.
