    Got banned from r/whitepeopletwitter for using r/justunsubbed, which is now a “harassment” subreddit apparently.

    The politics sub for my country (UK) was doing an AMA with some shitty hard-right misinfo rag. Using an undelete util, I was able to see that they’d deleted any questions relating to the publications track record of provable dis- and misinfo. And they weren’t questions like “fuck you you pieces of shit”, they were well-written and polite. But didn’t fit the narrative trying to be built.

    I commented something like “Why are fair and reasonable questions being deleted? I thought this was ask me anything, not make x publication look good”

    I was immediately banned for ‘persistent mod abuse’.

        I don’t, unfortunately. I messaged one of the mods who from their post history wasn’t a hard-right saboteur about it, didn’t get a response but I think I was silently un-banned… I accidentally commented on a post a few months later thinking I was in UnitedKingdom sub and it went through / was replied.

      Notice that having a political opinion is now so controversial that most people simply avoid politics, leaving it to the suits.

    I have chatted with a mate in reddit chat (or messages, idk) in german. To agree I typed “jap” meaning “ja”, so “yes”. Ja/Jap is the same as no/nope in english.

    30 seconds later I was banned from this chat for a week because of being “racist”.

    Turns out that “Jap” was a derogatory term for japanese people…

    My mate hasnt even reported the message (obvously) but reddit banned me because of aggreeing in a 1to1 chat…

    Got banned multiple times for suggesting we hang/burn dictators, wanna be dictators, rapists, billionaires and Marjorie Taylor Greene. I regret nothing.

    I also posted this at reddit@lemmy.ml

    I got permabanned for “report abuse”.

    I was reporting a series of blatantly obvious spam bot accounts like I normally do. Nothing fundamentally changed about my behavior. I had warnings in the past for “brigading” because I got into a row over improper rule application with some power tripping mods once, and I guess that was enough to get the permanent hammer. Reddit just had enough of me messing with their free content stream.

    Filed an appeal. Never, ever got a response, not even an denial message. Lmfao.
