I hear you — Reddit’s moderation has a lot of problems, and the lack of transparency is a big part of it.
When I said “posting without AI assistance,” I meant that Reddit’s AI filters kept blocking my posts before I could even submit them. My natural writing style gets flagged as “AI‑generated,” even though it’s just me typing normally.
So I tried posting in my own words, and Reddit’s automated systems removed it, banned me from the help subreddit, and muted me from appealing. None of that involved human moderators — it was all automated.
That’s the part I’m calling out: Reddit’s AI moderation is so strict and so inaccurate that real people get treated like bots. That’s why I’m talking about it here.
