I'll say this, I've done maybe 10 posts on Reddit over the years asking for help with various life issues I was trying to figure out. Serious shit, like dealing with medication withdrawals, driver's license issues, getting money back for medical procedures that never got finished.
Out of those 10 posts, probably eight of them got nuked by the following day, regardless of how many upvotes or positive responses they got. I managed to get some actual help with my problems on some of them in the few hours they were up.
I particularly liked the "hey I'm really struggling with withdrawals and could use some advice" type posts getting mod-nuked for incredibly random and esoteric rules, like having one offending line in a bunch of paragraphs where I offhandedly said that I know medications help a lot of people, and that was flagged as "promoting drug use".
I can't imagine reading someone's post who is currently going through a drug withdrawal and going "I think I'll nuke this post over one line that can be interpreted as maybe breaking rule #8 on this subreddit, if read from a certain angle, so this guy can't get any help LOLOL"
Fuck Reddit.
