The Hypocrisy of Reddit

I used to hang out in Reddit and try to help people in startups and investing area.  I tried to help in the .Net, c#, Maui areas, but I find that people don’t want to talk about these things, they want to argue the points, but moving on.

I’ve found that Reddit is full of hypocrisy at the level of the system itself.  I was recently banned for a “history of flagrant abuse.”  What?  Yeah, that’s what I said.  One of the questions asked was “what would you do if you were President of the US?”  In my smartass kind of way, I said “I would lockup all socialists in concentration camps and blare Adam Smith over the loud speakers until they repented.”  Clearly a joke.  I was reported for threatening people, challenged it, and I was denied.  Ugh.  When that ban was lifted, I responded to a question about Jay Powell not leaving the Fed board of governors with “there is about to be a cranial explosion at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”  I was permanently banned after that joke.  I eventually received an email saying my ban was lifted, and it has not been.

I do go into Reddit to look at what people are talking about.  I saw a statement of “I would put all Trump supporters in concentration camps and murder them.”  It had many upvotes and had not been deleted, so that poster had not been banned.

Reddit, the home of the militant left and hypocrites.
