I hate that is filled with bots and a lot of garbage and brain dead content from tiktok, instascam and fakebook where videos have added music for some reason with crappy edits where they have to "jingle keys" so they won't lose interest. A lot of people post content without a source "Source!? My dreams bro, that's the source" and karma farm, or posts that are clearly fake rage baits and now they combine all of it with AI to create the ultimate slop.

And on top of all they ban and shadow ban accounts without a reason while actual bots get a pass.

A couple of more reasons on why I hate reddit:

1. It's centralized
2. It has lots of bots and owners take no action
3. Lots of creeps and owners take no action
4. They can ban your account for any reason
5. They push ads
6. They train AI models on our content without giving us anything
7. They removed free API access
8. Their app is garbage and so is their website
9. They can remove and reassign subreddit moderators
10. They added karma points
11. Lots of stupid achievements
12. Non-bot new users get easily banned for being suspected as a bot while actual bots pass
13. Their support is garbage
14. They don't listen to the users
15. Garbage algorithm for recommendations
16. Shitty owners
17. Garbage Reddit filters that shadowban
18. Terrible app/website settings
19. Added awards that cost real-life money
20. They sell our data for money
21. They don't care about fake information and AI content
22. Limited settings for subreddits
23. Reddit Premium
24. Avatar customization that costs real-life money
25. Limited accessibility for disabled people (there were apps that were accessible, but they charged money for the API so they shut down, and Reddit didn't implement those features)
26. AI search in Reddit
27. Ads disguised as normal content
28. Buggy app/website
29. Pushing games
30. Lack of new features
31. Private messages can be read
32. Specific content can be deleted without reason and removed without prior notice
33. Personal data is used for automated decision-making, profiling, or AI training
34. Personal data is used for advertising
35. Data may be processed and stored anywhere in the world
36. The stupid "Join the most real place on the internet" banner on the website that appears if you aren't logged in
37. Reddit moderators (most of them)
38. Reddit's garbage rules
39. A lot of reposts
40. A lot of AI posts
41. They remove my comments without a reason
42. Reddit bots
43. Changing the UI often and mostly for the worse
44. The owners are greedy bastards
45. A lot of the community is garbage and supports a lot of AI slop content and/or fake information
46. Hard to get API access
47. They don't center my PFP, those bastards
48. "We have encountered an error" — WHICH ONE?
49. Automatically saving my comments or posts to drafts
50. THEY KEEP CHANGING AND REMOVING STUFF FOR THE WORSE

You can patch a lot of these problems with Morphe and then feed the AI machine dogshit.

Point 1 I'd say is the central point (pun not intended) of all of Reddit's posts.

Most other points you list, you can find on the fediverse too. But there, if a certain aspect displeases you, you either have to endure it if it involves an aspect you want to interact with, or you potentially need to sever a rather big chunk of their network.

Here, specially if you use hybrid platforms thanks to tags besides communities, you get to lose very little in comparison. At worse, make a secondary community if one's not around yet, use tags, and/or post to a miscellaneous/random topics community.

Reddit shadow banned me.
