On the whole it’s gone way downhill since the API fiasco in my opinion. The only thing worth a damn on Reddit nowadays is that some specific communities are better than elsewhere (sports, mental health, niche hobbies) but only because discussion boards (php) have mostly died and Facebook somehow manages to even MORE toxic as far as racism, sexism, etc.

It’s depressing. At one time Reddit on the whole as an entity (not the company, the community) was very vibrant and amazing.

Banned from Reddit site wide ? That’s crazy

This specific situation makes some sense or in cases where brigading actually happened and it was a tool to stem it…I think nowadays that isn’t the case anymore and OP’s is an example of advocacy going little too far. Like if you listen Spotify you can’t come to my house for Christmas dinner because by doing so you promote Joe Rogan and not paying artists … and that is against my values. Really?
