I'm gonna go through my old reddit messages and see what subreddits I've been banned from and why
You've been banned from /r/GamingCircleJerk not for breaking any rules, but for making a joke one of our mods doesn't like (I said "kill me now please" in response to journalists showing footage of actual literal Russian soldiers being actually literally killed, describing said footage as "Call Of Duty style")
You've been banned from /r/JusticeServed for pointing out that Donald Trump got vaccinated in /r/Conservative
You've been banned from /r/LateStageCapitalism for arguing with conservatives in a variety of subreddits
You've been banned from /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy for arguing with libertarians in /r/PoliticalCompassMemes. You may appeal this ban.
^(Actual real text from the /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy mod team)
I'm ashamed of how many of these bans I tried to appeal instead of just logging into my alternate account to evade them
Just unsubscribe the community and go participate on some other.
It's not worthwhile to engage with people that behave like this. And the mods of large subredits were always forced to behave like this, so it was never worthwhile to participate in any large one.
/r/JusticeServed had the biggest pussies for mods I've ever seen ... like ever.
Every subreddit I listed had the biggest pussies for mods. I didn't include any subreddits where my appeal was accepted without the mods saying something along the lines of "you'd better behave yourself this time"
Shout-out to /r/me_irlgbt mods for being chill and immediately unbanning me because I only visited /r/conspiracy to argue with flearthers
Do they believe earth is being carried on the back of a flea?
I just have to say, your punctuation and grammar are immaculate.
Are you some kind of mod or English professor?
Perfect formatting, 5/7.
Now try it with rice.
I just made new accounts constantly on Reddit because they'd ban you for basically nothing from a ton of the major subreddits. Aquire a few bans, nuke account and start over was how I interacted with the platform recently.
I had my original account for years before I got a single ban. I think the moderation teams just got overtaxed and started throwing down the ban hammer for about anything. Plenty of bans just for saying something whoever reviewed it didn't agree with. Have to love enforcing an echo chamber and killing all discussion.
Same, which also meant I was unable to participate in many places because of ridiculous karma requirements.
