So many people are affected by suspensions (even permanent) for reporting posts. The admins are gaslighting users who bring this to their attention.
I gathered a short list of examples of people talking about this topic.
In case you are still a Reddit user and logged in: DON’T COMMENT AND VOTE ON THESE REDDIT POSTS!

- False bans issued for “Report Abuse”
- Yesterday I got permanently banned from Reddit because of reporting a ban evading user
- Just finished a suspension for “report abuse” regarding a post I reported over 3 months ago.
- What defines report abuse, before reddit actions it?
- “Report abuse” abuse and other issues with “Report abuse”.
- Recent uptick in being falsely suspended for report abuse?
- Most of my moderation team has been banned site-wide at least once in the past few months, including myself. Morale has hit rock bottom. What exactly is Reddit’s end-game here?
r/NewToReddit
- Anyone know how to avoid “reporting abuse” bans or what triggers that?
- Can I get banned from reporting a ton of posts that definitely break a subreddit’s rules?

- I live alone, have very few hobbies and my Reddit account was permanently banned for “report abuse.” My appeals are being ignored, and Reddit is a big part of my life. How do I reach Reddit admins to defend myself?
- Reddit once banned my account for “report abuse”. The content I had reported was then removed by them for being against their rules. No amount of appeals could get a response from them.
I just had to vent. I’m serious, don’t react to these posts on Reddit. No, this isn’t one of these “I tell you not to do something in the hope you are doing something” cases.
reddit doesn’t have a problem ; it is a problem
What does this have to do with a shitposting comm or Lemmy in general?
From the community description:
Welcome to Lemmy Shitpost. Here you can shitpost to your hearts content.
Anything and everything goes. Memes, Jokes, Vents and Banter.
follow the vibes, not just the rules
Each subreddit is a HOA run by toxic, power mongering dickheads. They really need a system to rate communities, moderators, and publicly air grievances or to just burn that shithole to the ground.
I looked at reddit today. Mod issues? Jfc, idk how anyone uses reddit anymore with how much clickbait and bot posts there are.
I’m guessing they feel right at home if they also use Facebook/Instagram/TikTok. People think that’s just how the internet is, many don’t understand what a bot even is.
What’s the point in reporting and helping mods if all that lead to is a ban? Let the mods handle the filth without the help of the community and see how that goes.
