I don’t know what subreddits you were on, but on the ones I’m a member of, it doesn’t looks like r/ is seen as a bad thing.

Linking other communities (vs. subreddit equivalents). For some reason on my last year of reddit some subs started adding rules against mentioning any r/ s. It’s almost universally encouraged here to spread knowledge and grow small communities.

It was whitepeopletwitter, 1.5 years ago. My comment was removed for something not in the sidebar rules, then or now.

Unfair + bizarre

The mod situation has always been strange. Mods can NEVER be changed once a community is made (unless a super mod gets involved). Makes it easy for individuals to control entire communities without any say within the communities themselves.

There was also a fad to spam links to communities, some of them made up. Entire chains of comments would just be nonsense. A crackdown on that would make sense.
Here it’s not really an issue. There I’d usually consider a link to a community without additional text to be spam.

Oh yea reddit gets so strict sometimes. Like I get mods not wanting to get people to start spamming community names, but sometimes a relavent conversation comes up and it’s really too strict to not even allow a mention in a relevent conversation.

That dude absolutely deserved to get mocked. What he did is the definition of heresy.
