I think the worst part is how things are silently removed. On many sites you get a message saying 'your content has been removed for violating rule x'. On reddit you almost always get nothing. Often you don't even get a ban message and will just be added to a shadow ban list so you end up wasting your time commenting but no one can see it.

There is a site that shows you your deleted comments[1] and its pretty shocking. I found out every single one of my comments in one sub had been auto deleted with the reason being I did not have any link karma (because I only comment). What a waste of time and it turns me off from the platform.
