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!

    You are here because you are banned, I am here because I chose to quit Reddit. We are not the same.

    I deserved my ban. I can’t help but to tell magats what I think of them, because they should be made to feel how terrible their choice was at any and every opportunity!

    doom

    When? Reddit behaves this way because it can afford to. A thousand trolls here, a handful of influencers there, Reddit wouldn’t notice if they’re gone.

      Idk I’ve noticed a lot of people complain that they got banned for silly reasons. Mine was silly too. Plus a site wide ban? That’s ridiculous! Reddit going mainstream is its biggest curse. I’ve legit seen comments with death wish, threats and none of those are banned.
