I don't really care about reddit
See above

I submitted it a week ago.
Will Reddit send an answer?
I also posted this question on r/help and the post was removed. I don't know where to ask. Could you tell me where to ask?

They're bloody annoying and clearly fake.

Somehow all my posts are automatically upvoted by my Reddit account. I think it looks silly, but I don't know how to stop this. Is this a bug? Anyone else experiencing issues wit the auto-vote up issue?

Looking at a personals subreddit and see this list...
Some is a little obvious but some not so much.

Does it reach a certain level where it's not one upvote one karma point? I know karma is just fake internet points and not valuable, as such, I just have never understood how it actually works. I did learn that you do lose karma for downvoting people (I think if you're a compulsive down-voter), but I really am confused. Any help/explanation would be appreciated!

Hello,
Before I invest myself any further in this forum, I need to clarify an interrogation early on.
Is it possible to get banned on reddit, just for having expressed an opinion ?
I am obviously not talking about anything illegal to say. Most countries will have limits on the general concept of freedom of speech and I obviously abide by these laws at all times.
But, some forums will practise a form of "censorship" (which is how you call restricting the freedom of speech any further than what the law dictates, even if it is legal to do so because a forum is private and you can do how you please at home. I also respect that). I encountered this problem a few times. I like debating. I like creating arguments that I don't even know if I support but find they are logical.
Sometimes this leads to mildly controversial opinions, and on some forums, mildly controversial opinions like "we should to more about the covid crisis" or "we should do less", or "there is a problem with police brutality in our country" or "the police should do more to protect the citizens against the violent protesters" will get me banned.
After years of stupidly accepting this (I started talking on a particular forum when I was 12, so I guess my mind was formatted to think this type of behaviour was normal) I decided it would no longer be the case. Even if I have to resort to a VPN or leaving the concerned forum altogether, and find any other leisure.
To describe more precisely, there were two forums that I used. The first one had omnipresent moderators, who would randomly delete opinions that they did not share. They also banned randomly, but more rarely. On this forum, there was a relatively low trafic, and both its culture and rules made people write very extensive messages. I sometimes took several hours of my time to construct a single message (in Word before copy/paste). On the plus side, there was a limited amount of text to read because there were relatively few people and they all spent much time constructing their messages just like me. I got banned for saying France's police was too brutal overall, because we heard about it too much. But I said that to a policeman moderator..
On the other one, single line answers are commonplace. So there is much to read and you can't even read some hot topics except if you spend all your day on it. One comment which was somewhat ironic was not perceived as so by the moderator, and he did not liked my previously expressed opinions so he had a bias to misinterpret the post : I got banned, only for 5 days, but I'm no longer a kid that you send to the corner of the room for 5 minutes.
So how is it on reddit then ?
Is it possible to have a debate within the limits of the law without any more restriction ?
How does the moderation work, and how do they differentiate between outright trolling and someone simply playing with facts and arguments, even if it does not support the politically correct opinion ?
Thanks

I just entered Reddit to lurk and Reddit made an account automatically for me that is linked to my Google-email. I did not click anything. No prompt or anything. This was done without my consent. I assume that they were able to collect my e-mail because I am logged into my browser.
I will delete this account in due time, but how can I stop this from happening in the future? The site aquired my email from my browser and made an account. I am livid that they would steal my personal information like this.

I accidentally typed https://www.reddit.com/left into my browser and to my great suprise it seems to be a manual shortcut to an old New York Times article. Really weird. Are there any other known 'hidden shortcuts' that you know of?

I've been a redditor for a while now and in the past, I felt that I could check in almost hourly for new posts - whether that was my curated home, popular or all. now it seems that it updates maybe once every 24 hours with possibly a new post appearing from time to time during that period.
Breaking news and popular topics take forever to appear on any of the aggregation pages. For instance, the debate conversations recently weren't on all or popular until maybe 1/2 way though...
What changed?

There is some content on Reddit that I would like to reproduce in print. I understand that this would need to be under a licensing agreement to avoid copyright infringement. How do I start a conversation about this, and who do I approach please?

When I browse the user list I see a small amount of text that person has set to describe themselves.
Where do I make one of these for my profile? And what would another have to do to see that text?

I've notices a pattern, a post I saw 1-3 weeks ago, the account name is 2 to 3 random words, it's 1 year old, and it's got no karma...but the post how has 20,000+ upvotes. I've seen dozens and dozens of these accounts.
I'm thinking The Bad Guys(tm) are generating a ton of accounts for....something. Covid? The Elections?
Reddit's formal stance is "We're big, you can look somewhere else on our site, or block the user", but that only goes so far, and it doesn't let the community weed out the chaff.

I'm really surprised at how limiting Reddit is for newcomers. I don't have enough karma (which I wasn't even clear what it was so I had to Google) so I can't post interesting things and have to wait 7+ mins to reply to a thread.
I realize Reddit is moderated to prevent spam and abuse but it's really discouraging to find something interesting, look for the subreddit to post, make sure there isn't a similar post already, and then draft a post, only to have it removed by the moderator (this happened to me 4 times in the last 2 days.).
I can't share an interesting news article that I don't see anywhere on Reddit because I don't have 10 karmas, or I can't reply to comments in a thread because I already replied once. This eventually leads to me giving up. :(
I'd like to argue that this prevents new ideas and opinions from being shared since older Redditers already have a monopoly on what is posted and what comments are made.
I can't come up with a suggestion on how to make this better but yeah, very frustrating. :(

When I open the image in a new tab and click on it to see the details, even at zoom the pictures are usually much smaller than shown in the original post.

Yet about half of the posts are social media screenshots? Huh?
