The bizarre bans is what made me leave recently. Banned from a default sub i had been in for years for posting a link. There was no rules against links and the reason given was "we don't like the link" then told "we don't have to give warnings" when I asked why I would be permanently banned for doing something that isn't against the rules. Then that same thing happened in another sub the next day. I don't know what's going on there but it's almost like they want to cull the users who aren't conforming to the way they want the content to be ingested.

Yeah that too, the modabuse has just been reaching insane levels lately.

Same here, after years of use with no problems, AI mods and overzealous human mods started banning users all over the place.

Google dropped reddit as a source for Ai training data so they are trying to "clean up" to be sellable again.

To be fair reddit users used to do that before the bots as well. Just pointless bad-faith pretending to engage without actually wanting to hear your opinion, just exhaust you for disagreeing with them.
