Pro tip, just about the worst way to introduce yourself here is to mention you are here because you were banned on reddit.

    Sadly, that's like the free space on the "What brought you to the Fediverse?" bingo card.

    I still have an account in good standing there that I don't use because I can't use Apollo.

    I was proudly banned from Reddit

    I was a mod of a top ten sub. I was banned for:

    Banning Nazis

    Reporting bots

    Reporting gooner/csam subs (when the admins did nothing, I reported them directly to the FBI)

    I made work for the admins, and they didnโ€™t like it.

    And here I am, simply shadowbanned for using a VPN.

    Eh, it's the same as anywhere else.

    Bans are red flags, that's not the same as a "do not enter" sign. There's accounts on here that create communities no one else posts to, just so they can ban people they argue with in other places. Weaponizing the modlog for people that (for some reason) just blindly believe everything in the modlog.

    It's a weird move for OP to say being here isn't a choice. But you can get banned from reddit for all types of shit, some is admirable and some you'd get banned from anywhere for saying.
