I've had a different experience with reddit. I have been banned in Twitter under jack dorksey, facebook, etc and never on reddit. instead I found my first reddit post being treated as some kind of spam/scam. I have found that every forum has a group of retarded spergs who spaz out if someone says or does things they don't approve of. It's like free speech is okay as long as you say or do things as they want it. but when we say too much or too quickly for their liking, it's like they bring all their crayons out.
I see this in every forum bar none. but it usually tends to be a bigger problem when there are too many members. I think this problem became big due to social media because for the first time in history, the low-class spergs have visibility they would never have had in the real world. And when the digital medium allows vast numbers of such people to not only stay anonymous and non-ostracized, they enjoy using their newfound prowess to cancel, and holler. I have seen this in Gab, Parler, and every space. It is a human condition thingy. Since human beings are not equal, their behavior will also reflect this difference within the same space.
It's sad, but I never used 4chan or orkut or whatever but I am sure even they were like that.
