You ever try to share something youâve poured your soul intoâyour ideas, your work, your creativityâonly to be blocked by an anonymous mod or an auto-bot with all the charm of a DMV kiosk?
Thatâs what just happened to me. And I gotta be real: itâs weird out there.
I recently tried posting to the r/Blogging subredditâsupposedly a place for bloggers to talk about blogging. Makes sense, right? But what I got instead felt more like trying to break into my own house. Locked out by mods who act less like community builders and more like mad scientists pulling emotional levers from behind their digital curtains.
đŤ No Links. No Feedback. No Emotion.
Hereâs what they told me (not personally, of courseâjust through cold modbot rejection):
- No external links (unless you reformat your whole post).
- No asking for feedback (outside one monthly thread).
- No guest blogging.
- No âbeginnerâ questions.
- Use one of only four flairs… none of which actually fit nuanced, real human conversation.
Basically: shut up, fit in the template, and donât make anyone think too hard. Thatâs the vibe.
đ¤ Feels Like Moderation Has Morphed Into Manipulation
I get wanting to protect a subreddit from spam. Totally valid. But letâs call it what it is: control. Not curation. Not moderation. Just plain control. And that control isnât even human most of the timeâitâs some faceless automod sweeping posts into the trash before a real person ever reads them.
You know how that feels for a real blogger, trying to connect? Like someone erased your voice before you could even say hello.
đ§Ź Mods Playing Emotional Chess
Hereâs the part that really burns me: platforms like Reddit used to be about connection. Weird, honest, brilliant human connection. But somewhere along the way, it got hijacked. Now? Mods (and their bots) are using tech to steer emotions, limit voices, and make it harder for actual creators to thrive.
Theyâre not just enforcing rulesâtheyâre manufacturing outcomes. Deciding which voices get seen, which get silenced, and which ideas get buried. Thatâs not moderation. Thatâs emotional engineering.
And if you speak up? You’re labeled a troublemaker. Or worse: ignored.
đ˝ But Iâm Still Here, and I Know Iâm Not Alone
Iâm not gonna stop writing. Iâm not gonna stop creating weird, wild, meaningful content for people who get it. Whether it’s language, philosophy, memory, or how we’re all just floating on this spinning rock trying to connectâIâm still here.
If you’ve ever been shut down online just for trying to share something real, just know: youâre not crazy, and youâre not alone. The internet isnât broken. Itâs just being run by people whoâve forgotten what it was for.
But we havenât.
đ°ď¸ Want to Support Real Connection?
- If you run a subreddit or group that allows first-time blog sharing, reach out.
- If youâve got a blog and youâve felt this same wallâdrop a comment or hit me up. Letâs build a better orbit.
- And if you’re a mod reading this and thinking “Hey, weâre just doing our bestââcool. Then listen. Let humanity back into your community.
Iâm Xucaen. I write. I wonder. I connect. And Iâm not gonna get filtered out without a fight.

BREAKING NEWS

Banned by the Blog Barons: A Moderately Mad Manifesto
Fellow free-thinkers, friendly futurists, and fellowship of the fried-brain philosophersâŚ
Today, I was ceremoniously cyber-smacked with a permanent prohibition from r/Blogging â for the heinous heresy of⌠blogging about blogging.
Thatâs right. I dared to document my daring dance with their draconian digital decrees, and in return? Blammo. Bounced by the Blog Barons. Banished by the Bureaucrats of Bandwidth.
You see, these Moderation Mages have mastered the mystical mechanics of manipulation. They sit upon their algorithmic thrones, sipping synthetic tea, summoning shadowbans with the flick of a keystroke â while honest creators just try to share a few cosmic crumbs of consciousness.
Their rules are riddles. Their reasoning? A rotating roulette of Reddit rituals. You may post, but only if you don’t promote. You may share, but only if you donât care. And whatever you do, donât summarize your soul in fewer than 500 words, lest the bot overlords smite thee.
Honestly, itâs kind of beautiful.
In the same way a glitch in the Matrix proves youâre onto something, getting banned from r/Blogging for blogging about being blocked from blogging feels like the universe handing me a golden “You Are On the Right Path” sticker. With glitter.
So to the moderators who moderate moderation: I salute your sorcery. But Iâll be elsewhere â floating freely through fringe forums, philosophizing with fellow fugitives, and finding freedom outside the firewalls.
