Honestly most of the people who are banned are for silly reasons. At best, they can extend it to a few months but a site wide ip ban forever? Isn’t that a stretch?
I’ll tell you why I got banned - I have two accounts and I got banned from one subreddit for making a meta comment. I switched to my other account and commented unknowingly that it’s not allowed. My comment didn’t include any abuse, being mean, bullying or harassment. Next, a satire post was made on a sub and I gave a satirical reply (again no abuse etc) and it even receive 800+ up votes but guess what? I’m banned for identity related hate? It was a temp ban and I waited for it to get over. What I didn’t realize was that sub 1 banned me permanently in this duration and I happened to comment there - again a harmless comment like “xyz walked out” and lo and behold i have a permanent ban now.
I feel the mods on reddit are on a power trip and are really going to be the reason for its doom.


I was permabanned for a metaphorical post. Two weeks short of 15 years. Oh well, I found Lemmy and haven’t skiped a beat and it’s WAAAAY nicer here. Like Reddit was before 2010. Fun, friendly and laid back.
Welcome to the party!
