I have seen plenty of people talk on this site about how the mods are so strict
The kind of people that complain about HF Mods are, for the most part in my experience, the same people who want free license to treat others like crap.
Or... they feel as though particular mods are "out to get them personally", like a vendetta or something. I know I had more than my fair share of that particular brand of garbage reasoning when I was a mod.
... I have never got an infraction on this site
That's because you actually engage in meaningful conversation, instead of trying to win arguments by loudly attacking anyone who doesn't share your view on a particular subject.
It seems simple, but you'd be surprised how much some people think that a little anonymity gives them free licence to be as big a ***** as they possibly can.
and I swear that half the threads I start on Reddit are removed for a stupid rule.
Honestly, it depends entirely on the subreddit and the mods. There are some good subreddits (admittedly fewer and fewer than there used to be), and others that are either too big to properly moderate (and therefore the understaffed mods are more likely to be far less forgiving and remove posts on technicalities to the sub's rules, due to the sheer scale of the job), or are moderated by people with less-than-altruistic intentions.
r/Canada is a sub that I almost never go to anymore - the mods there are beyond useless, and encourage so much garbage content that it's just not worth my time.
In fact, reddit as a whole is probably best consumed in very small doses. It can be a very mentally damaging place to frequent if you do it often, if you're not careful.
