Power-tripping mods are the bane of the modern internet.
Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification

I think it’s harder to post to Reddit as a human being than it is as a bot. You have to read like six paragraphs of text (which doesn’t show up on old Reddit) to make sure that your post is formatted correctly, and then a mod will look through your comment history and ban you because they read everything you’ve ever posted and discovered that you own a car or something.

“Sorry bruh! Your account needs to be 1 year old to post!”
“Sorry buckarino! Your account is just too damn young!”
“Sorry! But we like intelligent conversation in this subreddit” While the content of the subreddit consists of people asking braindead questions and low-hanging fruit content.
“Sorry! Please read all of the rules that subscribed members of our subreddit regularly break, but not YOU!”

That was one of the things that kept pissing me off about Reddit when I was there, the arcane rules and requirements for posting on some of the subs. “Sorry I didn’t read your subreddit’s manifesto, I thought I had a quick post that was relevant to r/stinkybuttholes, my bad I didn’t realize that I wasn’t using the minimum amount of flair in my post.” I just started blocking communities like that, rather than continue to see their posts anymore.
