Wouldn't expect anything less from a company who would ban you for making a sarcastic comment. But will easily allow "jail bait" or abuse porn that can't be verified as consensual or allow the many scam bots that run rampant on the site.

Woah really? " But will easily allow "jail bait" or abuse porn"? Isn't that major flags for FBI and stuff? Can't imagine it's not been flagged if their servers are hosting the content?

  GP’s knowledge seems out of date, those subreddits were banned years ago.

Moderators of a subreddit are not employees of Reddit. Moderators of a subreddit can ban a user on THAT subreddit, for any reason they want. They cannot ban your user from the entire site. That, would be a Reddit employee only.

  This is an irrelevant distinction to be made for reddit in 2023. Reddit is profiting off of work from unpaid moderators, who do have a significant say in reddit user experience. And there are a small number of power users that moderate many of the largest subreddits and then some.

    Remember: one of the "highest ranking" reddit mods with a direct line to the admins is a literal convicted child abuser who beat her wife and kid, all public records, she (now preferred pronouns, MtF, was father), is protected by reddit. Another mod is literally married to a convicted p-dofile who r-ped someone, again, these people post with their real names, all public records. some mods even get a paycheck from reddit! (this was leaked from a zoom convo they had)

      This surely is speculation. After the aimee incident I'm sure reddit would have booted all risky candidates off the payroll

        the moderator leak came about 30 days ago. I am not sure if I can link the content here without breaking some obscure HN rule, even though they are behind pseudonymic usernames. rdrama.net , who fight against these types of degenerate Reddit mods, have had the leaks in their threads. Even if they are not officially on the payroll, the moderator who has been convicted of beating her (she was the father) kid and wife, still has an "official" line directly to the Reddit admins, and she has admitted to working 60 hours a week for Reddit... While they might not officially condone their behavior, they use their free labor

What sorts of sarcastic comments would regularly solicit a ban?
