The best part is 90% of the posts on that subreddit are just "fuck spez".

have rules never clearly explained, get banned pretty much immediately. a taste of real reddit experience™ even that i've never got banned sitewide (only on r/conservative) i guess you win if you touch grass or quit

I was recently shadowbanned with my 15 year old account. Received a "We've noticed some technical irregularities with your account" email back in January, and have yet to be able to get the account un-banned. Good times.

i have a theory they push r/conservative to front to bait people to get banned from that sub, so reddit can ban you sitewide as an excuse, since they are already pushing a right wing narrative on the site anyways.

that makes a lot of sense actually, but public freakout evasion got me banned, that one is the main controversial one on the front page imo

In a certain way, it's poetry

Why are people saying this was Reddit's april fools? It clearly says it's made by /r/gamesonreddit, not the admins.

I'm surprised they let me play it as a banned user.

fullsquare@awful.systems · 4 pts · 1y

on reddit, the website plays you

I was wondering if they'd cancel this, there's been so much drama recently

Ah yes, "joke".
