True, but i can be banned for one flippant comment taken out of all reasonable context, but another comment that is perfectly fine is judged based on a trend across multiple subs?

It's just ridiculous & indicative of a race to the bottom of the sump.

Reddit feels like where "the old free internet" I used to know, has gone to be slowly euthanasised, by drowning it in ai slop, bots, & people offended that the sky is blue.
