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.
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.
