    Got banned from r/offmychest for "participating" in incel subs.

    The thing is I was trolling in those subs. I should have been banned from them, not r/offmychest.

      I got banned from there too because I used to go on /r/4chan back in 2011. I was an edgy teenager back then.

      They apparently fetched every comment that had ever been made to that subreddit and banned everyone. It happened in like 2015-2016, long after I stopped going on any subreddit like that.

      It's something of a reddit truism that nearly all the subs that ban you for posting elsewhere are either lefty subs or subs that are run by mods who also mod lefty subs.

      Most right wing, incel, etc, etc anyone else you're likely to challenge subs actually require you to break their rules, and most of the time unless you're outright obnoxious about it will let downvotes and debate do the work. Except for r/conservative, who is fiercely defensive of their bubble.
