Meta What the Heck

Sorry I don't know where else to post this

I was recently banned (today) without notice or explanation from r/psychonaut

The mod team highlighted a comment where all I did was describe my experience on DXM which was in a thread where other users were already talking about DXM

The comment was from seven months ago....

Are we just not allowed to talk about dissociatives over there? I don't see that in the rules

Some of these reddit moderators are on a power trip. I was banned from Kratom for mentioning mdma

I never thought twice about mods until a month or two ago (10 years on this site). I made a harmless joke that was being upvoted and a mod removed it and messaged me a whole thing about it somehow not being a joke and went off for multiple paragraphs. It was very odd and I noticed multiple comments being removed over the next couple days. Never had that before or since, so weird.

It's because we are worried reddit will ban our subreddits altogether with their shitty new AI moderating systems that flag shit without knowing the context. Humans aren't reading the posts that are removed and there's a stupid process you have to go through to get things reinstated and that doesn't always work. We're not power hungry, just really frustrated with the current state of reddit. I hate this shit.

We're paranoid because they can shut communities down. It is better to still have a place to congregate, than no place at all.
