    Reddit is going crazy with the bans. A perma ban can result from something as simple as saying something like “I hope the consequences of not vaccinating are more deeply suffered by anti-vaxxers than by people who are not vaxxed from an allergy or something”. After all, that constitutes “hoping for violence/death”.

      I wonder if it’s because Reddit is now a prime resource for AI scraping, and they don’t want it to repeat that anti-vaxxers should suffer more to their cooker clientele 🤔

    I was banned for a while, saying that NATO countries should declare war on Russia and kill Putin. That was a political news Reddit, and the topic was about Russia’s Shadow Fleets and sabotage operations. War, the consideration and advocation, is an inherently political thing.

    Reddit would say that Churchill wanting to fight Nazi Germany is advocating for violence. While technically true, it misses the fact that sometimes words cannot broker peace nor civility.

    What was the reason though? Personally I never used Reddit. So I don’t know about them

    Yeah, of course… spez hates discussion of supposedly committing violence by anyone from center to left.

    It does not help that they’re using AI-assisted profiling, information used by both mods and site admins to determine the number of strikes to ban users.

      I’ve been banned from reddit hundreds of times, I have a bot that creates accounts, I say whatever I want, get banned, move to the next account.

      Also, every time I get banned I make sure to file an appeal where I tell the admins to gargle my balls.

      It’s pretty fun community to be a part of 6/10

    I got banned for telling a legit Nazi to fuck himself up the ass with a cactus, no lube.

    Banned for threatening violence and hate speech apparently.

      Yeah, my initial main account ban was because I said “if you try to have a monkey as a pet, you deserve to be bitten by it” on a video of a guy who had a monkey ripping shit up in his apartment and that bites him on the hand at one point.

      That apparently counts as inciting violence rather than y’know implying that people shouldn’t own fucking monkeys which I felt was pretty clear given the context.

      Evidently my angry sounding unban request was not well received.

    And in the end it wasn’t even really anything I said as much as the autoflag got my ass for posting on a temp account in a sub that banned my main account. Caught a perma ban for all my accounts with that shit.

    All because I originally said I hoped Elon overd*sed. (don’t wanna be banned from here too so censor it is.) They’re especially sensitive to that one in the Vancouver subreddit I guess for obvious reasons if you know about Vancouver.

    Maybe it’s just me, but no matter what the ban was for (I’m very aware Reddit is going ban-crazy and has just been shit in general,) I feel it’s a bad omen that one community (connected communities, fediverse, what have you) is being largely inhabited by people banned from other communities.

    Lost track of my reddit bans. Really lost track of my subreddit bans. I really stacked them up late 2023.
