The image is a reddit post with the following text (automatically transcribed):

I remember I got into an argument on reddit awhile ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on r/piss. At that moment I realized I had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole.

I reported an account that was posting CP and they banned ME for report abuse and let them continue posting but removed one of their CP posts. Reddit is a cesspool.

I wonder if Reddit could be held legally liable for trafficking in CP in that case. They were explicitly told "this is CP and should be deleted" and they didn't act.

No idea, it's weird they reacted that way because I reported all three of the CP posts on that account instead of just the one though. Evidently they have some questionable staff.

They didn't care for many years when /jailbait or /creepshots (pictures taken of women without their consent) was still a thing. It brought them traffic along with all their other porn subs

They only cared when advertisers caught wind of them & considered dropping out

From Wikipedia:

Communities devoted to explicit material saw rising popularity, and r/jailbait, which featured provocative shots of underage teenagers, became the chosen "subreddit of the year" in the "Best of reddit" user poll in 2008, and at one point, making "jailbait" the second most common search term for the site.[3] Erik Martin, general manager of Reddit, defended the subreddit by saying that such controversial pages were a consequence of allowing free speech on the site.[117]

Yeah I learned about this recently. Insane isn't it?

Probably one of the admins alts.

Crazy to think about but maybe.

So that is ok but if you post to an "unapproved" subreddit (even if you are leaving a criticism of them) you get banned from subreddits by bots. Then you accidently post to one of them from a 2nd account and your account gets perma banned. Yay! "Reddit, a place for open discussion for only people we approve of subject to arbitrary rules."

banned ME for report abuse

Wouldn't be surprised if the poster was a mod.
