I was recently banned from the subreddit, r/Robinhood for making a comment about Robinhood’s shady practices. I quoted their own rule, “Don’t be you”, calling them hypocrites, and received a 7 day ban from Reddit the following day.
How can we draw attention to Reddit supporting a subreddit whose very rules promote and protect intolerance and harassment?
I encourage you to message Reddit directly and report this community.
A blatantly criminal company run by questionable fuckers surprises everyone by creating the most sus moderating rules imaginable.
I’m just shocked that either nobody has brought it to the attention of Reddit, or Reddit doesn’t care despite violating their own rules and especially this recent IPO.
Are you actually shocked that a newly IPO’ed company (run by a known sex pest) doesn’t want to pick a fight with an openly crooked brokerage?
It just seems like an ember waiting for a fire that should concern investors. Wouldn’t be surprised is owners just want to cash in, sell the company and let the new owners deal with the fires.
They don’t care unless it embarrasses them. They did nothing about /r/jailbait until it got news attention, and similar things have happened over and over again.
So, you went to a subreddit dedicated to information about a specific website, and insulted everyone who uses that website.
What were you expecting? For the whole sub to stand up and applaud, and cancel their Robinhood accounts?
I’m not saying your statement is wrong, but your comment was toxic and unnecessary.
You must have missed the details in my post. My issue with Reddit is not the ban from the sub. Totally expected when I “kicked the hornet nest.”
My issue is that Reddit as a whole banned me for allegedly violating a rule that is being clearly violated within the rules of a subreddit. The hypocrisy is the issue.
Local man plays in traffic, gets hit by car.
Sorry, I guess I’m victim blaming, but get the fuck off that site, and use a real legit stock trading utility while you’re at it
Jumping to conclusions. I don’t use Robinhood. That’s why I made that comment.
On the Robinhood sub? I don’t. Reddit now makes suggestions for subreddits. It popped up and was surprised how active it was after all the bullshit they put their users through.
Maybe don’t hang out on a toxic website.
Welcome! Lemmy isn’t perfect, but it’s far, far less toxic, in my opinion…
RobintheHood is pure fraud
Same. When the CEO & CFO sell all their shares in the company they run, it’s a pretty solid tell.
