    LITERALLY YESTERDAY!

    There was a post about that Ron Pearlman video where he talked about studio execs losing their houses if they don’t shut up. I said something to the effect of ‘If Hellboy said lets go burn down some houses id follow him’

    Inciting violence. Permaban.

    My account was randomly locked because of “unusual usage”. I haven’t touched Reddit since the death of Apollo. So I guess going from a 100 to 0 was unusual. 🤷‍♀️

    Got permabanned from r/selfawarewolves because when I was in a small discussion with one other user, where I said that the US-Democratic Party is not Left-Wing

    Was Perma-Banned from reddit for saying child rapists should get the worst punishment available

    I have like 5 other banned accounts that just randomly got banned for no apparent reason, with reddit refusing to explain themselves to me.

    The only people who defend pedophiles are pedophiles themselves. what a shit site.

    Banned from /r/politics back when plain clothes officers in unmarked cars were snatching people off the streets during the police reform protests for wondering, “What happens if one of these people defends themselves against kidnappers with their second amendment?”. The reason cited, was that I was advocating violence.

    Honestly I thought that was pretty mild, and not really an advocation of violence so much as wondering what happened if the left responded the way the right does… I got my answer I think.

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

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

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

    A bit tame, but I was permabanned from /r/latestagecapitalism for suggesting that there were no “good guys” in the cold war. Who could’ve guessed that a community of anti-capitalists would have some tankie mods? /s

    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.

    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.
