Fun time suck
May 15, 2015

There is just SO much stuff on this site. Pictures, videos, quips... I don't have time to sit and go through everything. Typically, if it's topical enough you will end up seeing it on another social media site anyway.

Reddit is rampant with robots and trolls that are extreme left. It used to be neutral when it first came into existence but someone influenced this site financially or through their own views from the top.

Best community
November 10, 2018

Reddit is definitely a website with the largest community. I've seen a lot of negative reviews here but most of them are so out of context. They're censoring your speech because you either talk nonsense or you're being too offensive.

In several groups this has occurred. I wrote a question without any details because they were not necessary, and each post was removed.
Reddit has become a dictator and over saturated with unfunny stupid memes. Yet I can't post simple questions.

After Yahoo Answers ended I thought this would be a place for me to hang out, and honestly I barely use it because it is not the same as Yahoo Answers. The Censorship and rules is on a new level plus the awful memes. When you have regular community members as mods it's a bad thing.
Regular people as mods or group leads has never been a good thing. I've hated mods since 2007. They are reckless and will censor people if they state something that triggers them. They are weak.

Reddit is good for read only but to post, it's not ness anymore.

I hate this because of two reasons. One is that, when a post of mine is removed by a mod because it doesn't fit their pages topic, it makes my original post look awful and misunderstood. Two is because, there is always that one person on every one of my post that comments something nasty, inappropriate, or offensive. Sure I could down vote it but in all reality, no one wants to see that… I've been using this app for 6 months and I love it it's just my only problem with it is that when a post is deleted the comments are not. I like this app however because you can get some pretty helpful advice from people on here and you can read some interesting stuff.

A mini dystopia
June 26, 2019

Reddit has slowly gotten worse over the years and since accepting money from a Chinese censorship company any opinions that are not agreed with are swiftly silenced while communist subreddits that advocate for the murder of cops are allowed to reach the front page. Not worth it anymore.

Provides an interesting service, but if someone wants to bully you, they aren't for removing the comment, but would rather you fight back at the bullies. Anybody could say anything, even if it's not true or hateful with a bullying intent here. I'd give it more stars only if they got rid of the bullying.

I'm the social network geek and I heard about Reddit for all across the globe. I decided to try it and face some difficulties. First - it's hard to navigate through reddit after years of using insta and facebook. Second - sometimes I cannot understand what are peoples' aims and interests. On the other hand, there are thousands of unique subreddits with priceless content, so I'll continue my way to explore reddit.

Bans people for things others do daily. But, they have their favorites and certain moderators pick and choose only to enforce the rules on those whose opinions they don't like. People say disgusting things and their accounts and comments are untouched. Don't believe their lies about following the "rules" they twist to cover their personal discrimination.

Reddit is my favorite online community for its diverse range of topics, lively discussions, and sense of community. Whether I'm looking for advice, news, or entertainment, there's a subreddit for it. I appreciate the platform's commitment to free speech and the ability to engage with like-minded individuals from around the world. However, the interface can be overwhelming for newcomers, and moderation can vary between subreddits.

This platform is so full of bugs its ridiculous.anytime you do anything you get a bunch of error messages. Not to mention 90 percent of the communities just auto reject everything so good luck getting anything posted at all. This platform will literally make you want to scream and smash your phone to pieces. The ui is so outdated it isnt even funny. Its not worth the foort idk how anyone even still uses it

Someone within reddit clearly doesn't know what harassment is or what can constitute as harassment. The warning they gave out was "a direct message on x day" instead of what was within that message that could be considered harassment. This does not help them and definitely does not help the potential offender. This is done because they clearly know that there was no rule infraction and to make others think that this gives them creditability. This does not.

What could potentially be a learning aid is nothing but a hindrance done to give a false protection. They know what they are doing and that is why they are doing it this way. Reddit clearly isn't the site it used to be. They protect toxic users and subreddits. They clearly have an agenda which makes the site completely unhealthy.

Bots blocks everything
February 11, 2024

Tired to use reddit's political memes, they block even the most bipartisan memes that make a great point, Reddit is a useless platform. Don't bother with it.

So I just put a negative review of Mercari on reddit under the Mercari conversations. So I was banned. I guess only positive reviews are accepted which is why their rating on that site is high. I used no names or inappropriate wording, I only told my story and now I'm banned from adding anything to the conversation. So ridiculous!

Reddit really hates white people. Reliable as CNN or a gossipy 14 year old with an axe to grind. Lots of censorship from mods who obviously have an agenda. They quarantine subs for no other reason than they oppose their views. But everyone already knows this.

Toxic moderators
February 18, 2021

Extremely rude moderators in some subreddits. Remove posts for no real reasons other than the mod disagrees with your view. Horrid liberal ethos that permeates almost every post/comment on the site.

Masquerades as a wholesome news aggregating site to disguise a sinister, insidious agenda.

A degenerates world
April 26, 2019

This site seems to think that banning people with unpalatable opinions will somehow end the problem.

By unpalatable, I'm speaking of people who make racist jokes.
Drug addicts and paedophiles are ok though.

So Much Hypocrisy
July 18, 2020

It all depends on the sub you're in. So. Many. Subs are moderated by twats with the maturity of a toddler. Overall, their gratuitous concerns about racism are bull. While they're trying to garner public approval of their fake progressive concerns, they also have subs called Watch People Die, subs that denigrate women, subs that glorify sex with and abuse of animals, etc. etc. You can find some good, helpful people on there, but you're going to have to wade through A LOT of crap. It's mostly obnoxious, depraved punks, and the mods are such a joke. It really is no better than 4chan, Facebook, YouTube, and so on.
However, all this talk of communism, etc. in these reviews is sour grapes on the part of scum that was probably legitimately kicked out.
I crave what Reddit could be, but all of Reddit's high and mighty rules are complete BS.

To any full grown adult out there interested in using the Reddit site please save yourself the trouble and check out other more useful sites like Quora, and even Y/A (which I know is outdated), but is so much more user friendly. Reddit like many have mentioned is an online interface filled with social rejects, harsh but true. These people, or in other words trolls will tear you down at any chance they get. Ask a serious question and they all come hounding you down and completely dismiss the question to simply make their point. I have also been in contact with those managing the sub-sections on Reddit and they could careless about your post/s.
