My Reddit Account got banned for the dumbest reason. - eviltoast

In a post regarding climate change I called another user an “Ignorant Slut” like that line from the Office. Anyways got permanently banned site wide and I just can’t help but wonder if that was necessary.

It’s not like I say that all the time, it was a one off instance and they just remove me from their site. I don’t mind it so much since it’s just a Reddit Account but it is really annoying since I can’t help but feel the admins had it out for me as they banned my account unjustly before and then reinstated it. But this time the ignorant slut was all the reason they needed to remove me from their existence.

Anyways just wanted to rant to the void on how dumb Reddit can be sometimes.

    It seems like Reddit decided to look for any excuse to ban anyone talking negatively about their API changes or talking about Lemmy.

    I was banned in one alt from a sub for ban evasion on a sub I was accidentally banned a few minutes from. I didn’t notice and posted from my main. All accounts were instantly permabanned. I don’t think it was a coincidence it was like 2 days after I dared to question spez in his AMA.

      Classic authoritarian move. Make so many rules, everyone has to break one at some point, even accidentally. Then you can pick and choose when to enforce.
