Reddit isn't terrible when a user adjusts what they are suggested, but the system they use to ban people pretty much sucks.
If I respond to a user that is suggesting the unnecessary euthanasia of a relatively healthy cat with, "Great. Now it is okay to k*** relatively healthy cats. This is a positive development," I will get a warning for promoting the abuse of animals. Four of these strikes over any period of time will lead to a permanent ban.
...it's not sustainable. Since there isn't any human oversight, I have to heavily censor what I say to avoid being banned from the platform. I'm using an actual example. My appeal was denied.
