    shortly after the article came out talking about how Reddit is bending the knee to Musky’s hissy fit, I received two notifications from Reddit; one, a 7-Day ban for “breaking multiple rules” but not telling me what actually happened, and after sending them an appeal asking what exactly I was banned for, I received the second notification, telling me that I was permanently banned for, again, “breaking multiple rules”.

    as far as I’m concerned, I’m finally free.

      I’ve been banned by reddit many times, but they always coincided with disagreeing with a mod. They don’t need to tell you what rules you broke when it was just a disagreement.

        The one time this happened with me was with Worldnews after I told some racist shithead making derogatory, sexist comments against third world women (specifically, the Philippines, where I’m from) to shut up and stick to gardening. Got permabanned from the sub AND a 7 day suspension from Reddit. Racist guy got no punish of course.

        So, it seems like this sort of thing commonly happens with big default subs, because I’ve never had a sub ban coincide with a Reddit suspension like that anywhere else.

        I once got a banned from a sub for a comment I made in a completely unrelated sub. The Mod saw my comment, didn’t like it, but didn’t have the power to ban me in that sub, so they banned me in theirs.

      I just got a 3 day ban for saying that it’s everyone’s civic duty to doxx anyone they know involved in this current administration’s nazi bullshit.

      I still stand by that, and as soon as the ban clears I’m going to be wiping my account and closing it for good. Fuck that place.

        I brought attention to some concerning moderation in spaces related to sex (and sexual assault recovery - a lot of subreddits are places for people to find victims to get them to tell their stories for “enjoyment”) and got some sort of IP ban a while back.

        Keep in mind there’s circumstantial evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell might have been a power mod too.

        Doxxing is against ToS and also just, straight up illegal lawfully in most places around the world, and wouldn’t be acceptable even on Lemmy. So I don’t really see that as an unreasonable ban, even if you had a good reason to say it.

      They just told me I incited violence then kicked me out. No elaboration or anything. Now I’m here and finally free
