Anyone successfully post on Reddit long term?

I can't fricking stand it sometimes because of the politics seeping into every topic, but I use it more than here at this point regardless. This place is a ghost town compared to years ago.

There are a few niche subs where the political shite isn't nearly as bad, although it exists in small amounts. For example, the PersonalFinance subreddit.

My account is 16 years old there. I use it for hobby stuff and sports stuff. Every time I venture outside of my curated subreddit list, I actually feel pretty good about myself because I see how fricking miserable the average user is.

I spent last week on the Strongman board following the World's Strongest Man competition. No problems.

I was banned from that place several years ago after a few days.

I am a double ace on TD - banned 11 times

I have never been banned by Reddit sitewide

I have been banned in some individual subreddits (I was once banned by one for -- I kid you not -- posting the cover of an Elmore Leonard novel. No racism, no homophobia, no anti-communist politics. The cover of a '60s novel)

Ironically if you are smart you get banned less on Reddit b/c you learn to self-censor. TD is freer so you attempt to get away w/more.

As I've said before TD is rare since it's a non-conservative politics, general interest site that is not dominated by the left.

my all time fave in this respect was in a sub on old cartoons, and in the middle of a thread about Daffy Duck some guy posted how he was trying to make the sub safe for LGBT+ posters and fight against homophobia in old Looneytunes

I've been banned from a few subs. Not because I posted anything so bad, but from just not being liberal in my views. At some point they just decide to ban you. It's fine. I don't care.

I keep getting banned for joking. Like, not even anger posting. The last one I appealed and it was reversed but they never actually fixed my account

I casually post in r/OrlandoMagic or whatever for game threads. It’s posting with a bunch of equally depressed cynic NBA fans.

thought Reddit was only for nudes?

That’s #1.
Next is just headline shite scrolling.

Next you’re reading r/interesting and fricktard topics are like “Isn’t it interesting how much Trump [insert tard comment]?”
