I have had multiple accounts through 15 years on reddit but reddit has become hardcore ban happy and I’ve stopped even trying to get around it at this point and have stopped using the site completely.
So what was the dumbest reason you were banned?
Mine was going into a far right sub that was discussing lord of the rings, for some reason lotr is huge with the far right including the current vp. Anyway all I did was post lotr sucks and a video link to clerks 2 where Randall tells Elias and the customer that the movie is nothing but walking and that the true ending should be frodo bricking into Sam’s mouth.
I got reported and site wide permabanned from a far right sub for gay bashing when the intent was anything but that. That’s when I noticed the glory days of reddit were starting to fade.
For the life of me I can’t remember where this happened, but this was in one of the heavily moderated “safe space” subreddits.
I said something sarcastic, which some powermod interpreted as being against the rules. I didn’t think it was, even if it had been taken at face value.
Problem was, I was in middle of dealing with what I now think was a mental health episode of some description so I ended up arguing with the mod in PMs. Wasn’t fruitful, dude was also rude as hell because I asked them to chill.
When things looked up a few days later I was like “yeah, screw them”. Left that community. Left Reddit entirely for a month.
I now realise this is one of those moments that turned me away from socialising in general. There are dipshits out there who just don’t care.
(Not saying heavily moderated safe space communities are bad! Just maybe not have uncaring career dipshits moderating them. Maybe have clear rules and enforce them consistently.)
