Reddit is a haven for misfits because misfits run it and misfits moderate it. Reddit is the land of misfits.
Reddit isn’t a website. It’s a digital gulag run by unhinged left-wing hall monitors who get off on silencing anyone who still believes in God, family, borders, or basic history.
You’re not allowed to be a regular kid with regular opinions anymore. Say you think boys and girls are different, that Christopher Columbus wasn’t literally Hitler, that maybe cops aren’t all evil, or that drag queen story hour in kindergarten is weird, and watch what happens. Your post gets nuked in ten seconds, your comment gets shadow-removed so only you can see it, or your entire account gets perma-banned for “hate speech” while actual porn and communist fan fiction sail through untouched.
Recently someone posted a picture of a Christopher Columbus statue lying in a Newark, NJ scrapyard with the caption “where it belongs.” Thousands of normal people showed up to say, “Wait, this is insane, he’s part of history.” Reddit’s answer? Lock the thread. Comments frozen. Conversation over. You peasants aren’t allowed to disagree with the mob.
That’s how it works everywhere on the site. The moderators, a mix of unpaid power-tripping weirdos and actual paid activists, sit in private Discord servers deciding what “normal” people are allowed to think today.
The upvote/downvote system is a joke; brigading bots and power-mod accounts with twenty subreddits each bury anything wholesome or conservative before it ever sees the light of day.
Try being a 17-year-old guy who likes hunting, church, and classic cars. You’re basically an endangered species on Reddit. One wrong word and you’re gone forever while subreddits dedicated to shoplifting, hardcore porn, and cheering dead cops stay up for years.
Reddit isn’t a public square. It’s a giant echo chamber with a delete button and a hair-trigger ban hammer aimed at anyone who still remembers what America used to stand for. The admins pretend they’re neutral, but the second something gets too much real-world attention that doesn’t fit the blue-haired narrative, poof, it’s gone.
So enjoy your dying website, Reddit. Keep locking threads, keep banning teenagers for liking statues, keep pretending your 400 alternate accounts downvoting the same comment is “community moderation.” The rest of us will be out here in the real world, raising families, flying flags, and remembering history while your platform rots from the inside out.
Normal people aren’t welcome on Reddit anymore. And honestly? We’re done pretending that’s okay.
