I recently started posting on reddit because I like the idea of connecting to like minded groups who like the same topic, game that I do, discuss or join some communities too. Unfortunately almost all the so called "community groups" of all topics are owned/run by few dictatorial groups in bed with the actual product owners. If you join a community of a game then most likely that is being run indirectly by the company which made the game in the guise of "community run" which gives them a nice cover of liabilities. All the things that benefit them, they can push it, all the things that dont benefit them, they can ban/block/disapprove it.
My recent experience.
https://www.cloudishes.com/2025/03/01-gamer.html is the post I did on a subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/BatmanArkham/ and it didnt get approved but if you see all the posts but if you look at the quality & content that get approved there, many of them are childish, idiotic, memes and cringe worthy. Then I realised that I have explained why the port on PC from consoles is bad and it gives deteriorated experience. I even have proof that the port is bad. Since it exposes their employer, rocksteady studio, they didnt approve it, no other explanation makes sense. Why would you not approve a post of someone who has achieved the most unachievable thing of your community, being the 1% of gamers and that too on PC, which makes you 0.1% in the world ? Unless it is pure money, product owners of all kinds not just game studios have (2k games of borderlands is another one) been doing this. Also if your account is banned, hacked or blocked; then all your content, your voice, opinions are deleted and gone. It is better to have it on your own blog, on your own terms, let the search engine do its job and AI scrub the blogs and we can still access all the information that we need without being controlled and dictated by social media and its behind the screen crony capitalists.
