Reddit's pathetic attempt to quash dissent - eviltoast

Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

    I just logged in on my NSFW account and lo and behold it has been permanently banned haha. Literally zero comments on it. It wasn’t banned when I deleted my main account after having made comments having a go at reddit and the admins and the current situation, so they’re clearly a bit butthurt and retaliated by …banning my account that never actually does anything other than lurk…which you can still do while permanently suspended lol. Funny that the ban message says

    Your accounts are now permanently suspended due to multiple, repeated violations of Reddit’s content policy.

    on an account that has never posted lol

        That message sounds like they’ve retroactively banned my deleted account too, unless it’s just a generic message. People were apparently seeing their deleted comments and accounts get restored so I wonder lol. Restore and then permanently ban you so you can’t edit/destroy your comments.
