    I got perma-banned for saying that the US Military won’t give a shit about what is happening because they only care if it involves bombing muslims. The “reason” they gave was that I was promoting hate-speech somehow.

      The chronically online incels look for things to mass report. It’s part of their ongoing campaign to shove the Overton Window far right.

      Reddits content moderation are cubicle farm employees that barely look at content; nevermind actual context or intent. They’re clearing tickets to make quota. Right wingers exploit this to control discourse.

      You can try doing it yourself. Look for frivolous things to report as offensive. You can get quite a bit of things removed.

        I did report some stuff in the past when I had an account, but usually it was either because it actually violated rules of a sub (Such as “Memes only” and someone posts a random screenshot with a rage bait title) or because it was actually straight up awful shit, I did get a few accounts banned as a result but they were posting actually vile stuff.
