Thank you, I appreciate you sharing! Will give them a try.

Perhaps that's a good thing in some ways. The communities with only a very light-touch moderation to get rid of spam are often the most enjoyable, where you can speak relatively freely without the looming threat of some overbearing mod censoring and banning you because they don't like your opinion.

I'm amazed he was hired in the first place, they must not have bothered to do any background checks at all.

I think it revealed a lot ideologically about how Reddit operates, in particular this likely explains some of the more controversial subreddit bans in recent years.

Similar here but without any custom blocking. Could you share your filters and which interface elements they target?

Same here - my permaban was for pointing out, with evidence, that male athlete Caster Semenya is male. This was in r/ChangeMyView, of all places, on a discussion about male participation in female sports.

Rather frustrating to be banned site-wide simply for citing a fact.
