The following has come about because I started a subreddit opposed to a famous streamer called Vaush. He has a subreddit called r/VaushV, which has multiple sister subreddits such as r/tankiejerk and r/okbuddyvowsh. These are where most of this harassment originates. . I will detail 2 of the worst examples below:
There was a threat to rape me live for over 5 days. Both that subreddit’s moderators and the Reddit admins ignored my reports. That subreddit now openly blames me for making the threat with an ‘alt’ (another account belonging to me) to make them look bad. Both their moderators and the admins allow this. I am now known as a user who fakes rape threats.
A single user was allowed to make well over 200 posts and comments harassing me. They became so obsessed with me that their behaviour escalated to the point they faked three fake death threats (and blamed me publicly for them). I have documented, in detail, proof that these were faked. The admins know they were fake and finally suspended this user (as well as eventually removing that users posts about the ‘threats’). Despite this the admins, and many subreddit moderators, now allow other users to publicly blame me for sending these death threats (in huge numbers) so I am now known on Reddit as a user who sends death threats. Additionally a post documenting how the threats were faked was removed by admins on my subreddit. Meanwhile the admins allow post after post claiming I faked the rape threat mentioned above.
I have a word document 60 pages long filled with harassment I have documented.
The last message I had from the admins blamed me for this harassment, saying “(my) activity instigates drama.” The admins ignore 90%+ of my reports.
I know that the admins consider the content I’m reporting harassment based on admin actions in subreddits I moderate (subreddit mods can see admin actions). I have seen similar content removed (and been told by users that they have received warning/suspensions).
I suffer from a number of diagnosed mental health issues. These harassers found an old comment where I discussed them. A significant chunk of this harassment revolves around abusing me for this (calling me mentally ill etc).
I have made multiple posts in r/modsupport (a place for moderators to discuss issues like this with Reddit’s admins. The admins remove these posts within minutes every time
In desperation I recently made a post publishing all the harassment I have documented. This has made me acutely suicidal, and I stated as much on this post. One of my harassers screenshotted this part of the post and turned it into a meme to mock me. They posted it to multiple subreddits. Both these subreddits’ moderators and the Reddit admins ignored my reports. I was then permanently suspended from Reddit for ‘harassment’ for making this post.

As you might imagine I'm feeling utterly exhausted by this experience, and incredibly angry. Reddit admins have actually wiped my account of all posts to try and cover this up (this is nto something they don’t typically do when suspending users). It's particularly upsetting to see those who have been harassing me incessantly for months celebrating my suspension today.

un-fucking-acceptable and I'm sorry you went through all this.
:heart-sickle: you're welcome here.
All this points to that Vaush and a lot of reddit is probably just CIA shit.
Yep reddit head of policy is in all likelihood connected to the CIA. https://hexbear.net/post/56333
yo i remember you used to be a mod in /r/BAMEVoicesUK and there was a big thread about uyghurs and you were defending china and then the next day you weren't a mod (my memory's pretty shit so i might be mixing people and situations but i think i'm right). i was gonna PM you when it happened but i thought it would be weird. i never realised how much shit you got from people on reddit. hope you're doing alright
Yup, I left that mod team ages ago. One of the mods posted Zenz, I gently said 'guys we shouldn't post Zenz here cos of xyz and they had a tantrum and booted me from the mod Discord server lmao. Next day I resigned as a mod
that sucks but at least you quit before you got fired. i stopped going on the sub after one of the mods posted a thread about how all political alignments are welcome and then proceeded to do nothing but shit on socialists in the comments while simultaneously posting pictures of their expensive watches on different subs. at least i think it was a mod lol it was so long ago and my memory's spotty.
They've gone full 'anti-tankie' now, literally every second post on the sub is about China. Check out r/BAME_UK if you want a socialist alternative
Here's the post documenting the fake death threats. They could not have made it more obvious. The user who did this is back with an alt today, celebrating my suspension.

I can't speak for Screamo but my experience is that users engaging in this activity over on reddit lie to fuck and back. They are willing to misrepresent, spin, play bad faith games, and outright mislead. Every single word anyone ever says has to be thoroughly investigated because absolutely none of it can be taken on merit.
They thrive on the extremely reddit behaviour of taking the word of whatever they see upvoted as fact without investigating further. They use and abuse this as much as they possibly can. They create hordes of people who repeat the comments/posts they've seen upvoted previously which further compounds the issue, creating a mob that all says the same completely incorrect thing. They build a mob. They weaponise the crowd's naivity and point it as a weapon at a target.

this behavior is older than the internet, ackshually
Never been a reddit user, still don't want to be.
The more I see from these people, the more convinced I am about that account belonging to Maxwell because she would fit in with these monsters.
Don't let them get to you, V*ush isn't a real person. Even if he is real, he isn't a person.
Hey I remember seeing you around! You're a good poster and I'm glad to have your company.
Please do yourself a huge favor and log off for a bit from Reddit. Honestly the best thing you can do is never return to that hellscape of a website. Focus on your mental health, if you log off you beat the harassers but either way there is no winning on Reddit. Vaush sounds like a bad guy too but remember these people have no power over you if you don’t engage. God bless

Take this as a blessing. Time to log off and do praxis in the real world
Damn I'm sorry your girlfriend went through that.
You what the most fucky is? Reddit wiped my entire account. Deleted every post I ever made. The only time I've ever seen them do that is when one of their incel subscribers goes on a killing spree
Shits nuts. good to see you here mr. dumpo. I’m sorry this has been so shitty. Take care of yourself friend
Fuck reddit, hang out here if you want some slop but otherwise do not internalize any of the abuse you have received from those shitheads.
That sucks man, I can see you were passionate about helping those communities you moderated. Being banned after dedicating that much time to Reddit as a site fucking sucks.
They've been on a tear to purge of leftism for a while now, just try and take a breather, the frustration will pass with time. None of it's worth committing suicide over. The people who run Reddit are psychopaths, really. What should have clearly led to a ban of those harassers, instead they chose to wipe all of your history and lock you out of your account? That's fucked.
Hopefully you can at least send the people you modded left subs with this post to clarify things. The way Reddit's admins handle this kind of thing is so incredibly scummy and disrespectful especially to someone who worked for free to build up their site.
