Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app now bombards you with notifications for posts, even from communities you’re not a member of. The moderation team also will protect the views of racists and bad faith actors over people who push back on those ideas. Probably because of the current administration; Reddit is spineless like the rest of social and broadcast media.
Humanitarian101
I’ve deleted the Reddit app, but before I did, I adjusted my notification preferences to only receive messages alerts. I specifically disabled all promotional or suggestion-based notifications. Despite this, I continued to get badge notifications for things I did not opt into—irrelevant suggested content I never asked for.
saymylastname
Reddit used to be a place for real conversations and diverse opinions. Now it’s a platform where dissenting viewpoints—especially conservative ones—are silenced without warning or explanation. I had an account for nearly a decade, over 60,000 karma, and was permanently banned for simply expressing opinions that didn’t fit the prevailing narrative. No threats. No hate. Just flagged and erased.
