Sometimes I like to cruise the politics sub so I can drive by downvote libs and report them for breaking their precious civility rule, and honestly, I've gotten a decent amount of them banned for it, which is hilarious.

That is all

I'd almost guarantee there's more to this story.

Yeah, what was he wearing when he got banned? Was he in a rough part of the subreddit? Was he commenting at night alone?

Dunno why you'd think that when sitewide reddit bans are performed by AI with an absolutely massive error rate.

And if it's a subreddit ban it's absolutely 100% believable because more than half of us have had stupid fucking bans by mods for opposing libs. Even off reddit half of lemmy's lib instances have defederated us entirely purely because libs are so far fucking right they can't cope with hearing anything to their left.

If I remember correctly I got banned from Reddit for "misinformation" or something like that for debunking Adrian Zenz which is something you could literally do yourself right now. Unjustified bans based on vibes and not facts or actual rule-breaking behavior is pretty common on Reddit.

Reddit bans are distributed on a pure vibes basis. Whatever the mod is currently feeling goes. There's no second recourse, because the subs are too flooded the bad actors to sort out the grey cases. Everyone just makes new accounts anyway, so who cares?

When I modded the sub I configured the automod to delete 80% of gucci's (stupidpol founders) posts based on the last digit of the post/comment ID. That was funny

Arbitrary and capricious? Yes. But also funny.

I got banned for disinformation for saying we shouldn't be giving self described neo nazis weapons because after the war they're gonna use those weapons to do nazi shit in a newly destabilized country.

Well, you're from Lemmy, so you're automatically sus.

I'm sure we'll tease it out of you

giving reddit even a little benefit of the doubt is always gonna be incorrect
