I tried to post on Reddit without AI assistance, and the platform punished me for it. Auto‑removed, auto‑banned, auto‑muted. No human review, no appeal, no accountability.

Reddit’s AI moderation is so broken that it flags real people as bots, blocks posts before submission, and traps users in permanent accounts they can’t fully delete.

I’m posting this here because Reddit makes it impossible to talk about Reddit. Their AI systems silence users instead of helping them.

If this is the future of moderation, it’s a dystopia.

      Additionally, most of their Fediverse activity is in a community about AI text generators

      Edit: and much of their Reddit activity seems like slop too. I don’t understand whoever sets up these “false flag” anti-AI AIs.

          I get why some people here are reacting the way they are, and the irony isn’t lost on me. I’m not pretending to be anti‑AI or hiding anything — I use AI chat because my natural writing style gets flagged by Reddit’s automated filters.

          When I try to write in my own words, Reddit’s AI moderation blocks me before I can even submit. That’s the whole point of my post: real people are getting treated like bots by systems that can’t tell the difference.

          I’m not here to flood anything or push AI content. I’m here because Reddit’s AI systems punished me for trying to communicate normally, and I wanted to talk about that somewhere I wouldn’t get auto‑removed.

          If the phrasing sounds “AI‑ish,” that’s exactly the problem I’m describing — the line between “structured writing” and “AI slop” has gotten blurry, and real users get caught in the crossfire.

      the post is giving AI slop vibes-

      No human review, no appeal, no accountability.

      this line is very specifically serving GPT

        WRONG! It’s MC (Microsoft Copilot) It’s helped me, unlike Reddit, honestly Reddit’s AI is slop beyond slop, use AI on Reddit post removed, use my own words post removed banned and muted, that’s why I feel more comfortable using AI chat.
