Reddit can be a dangerous place. I advise anyone using the site to turn off DMs and make their posts/replies private so your account appears empty to others. I had a stalker and it took many reports before he was banned.
The subs for specific psych issues seem to be poorly moderated and the rules aren’t equally applied. I was banned from one of the ptsd subs for merely saying to someone “I think you need a higher level of care” when they posted about once a week therapy not being enough. I was told that I was giving medical advice. Well damn, if you cannot say something so basic which amounts to “seek more help” then that space is pretty useless. I learned my lesson and stay off most of those groups (although there is one that has mostly good mods that I drop in every few months when I’m struggling with another issue.)
Discord can be the Wild West. Some groups are good, others hide predators. I learned that lesson the hard way, too. One group essentially had everyone gang up on me and harass me. I didn’t even “pass” the entrance interview and to be fair they completely misrepresented themselves. I had to delete that account to escape the harassment.
