Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.
I got banned from a bunch of Reddit subs for once telling someone they were wrong about the Yorkshire accent in the UK. They called me a liar about being British and then I got banned from like 30 places at once.
I got a “permanent suspension” from all of Reddit. Isn’t a suspension temporary, wouldn’t a permanent suspension just be a ban?
Maybe it’s the difference between undoable or not undoable.
If you think about it, when a judge gives you a “suspended sentence” for a crime, it is permanently suspended meaning there is no set expiry. But it can be made to expire if needed.
That tracks. You pissed off someone who had a connection with a mod and/or admin. Been there!
I got banned once for dunking on IG travel trends and the mod involved was dumb enough to PM me threatening me.
It’s just pathetic how emotional and over reactive people saying crap on the internet they don’t like. I don’t agree with a lot of stuff but I see no reason to censor people for enjoying musicals or whatever else I hate.
I once got banned in a bunch of subs, including some I wasn’t even in, because a mod didn’t like a comment I made in a sub that wasn’t even theirs. They just didn’t like it, so they banned me in all the subs they modded. Fucking weirdos.
Reading this post is cathartic hahaha.
Considering all mods are probably mirrors of antiwork mod the entire world got to see - zero surprises there.
You see, I never had a single comment moderated by the anti-work people, and I made a lot, a lot of them very extreme comments. Like illegally so. But many other subs I have had that same problem. I used to use revveddit to see which Subs were secretly silencing me, which included pics, and so many others. Mostly Auto mod bullshit I presume. Auto mod which I trust is corrupted by the government for Israel and a number of other issues.
Referring more to physical looks and lifestyle of the head mod there.
I got a sitewide warning a couple of months ago for suggesting that Trump’s inaugural “board of peace” meeting was the apotheosis of the “you have one bullet…” thought experiment. “After reviewing, we found that you broke Rule 1 because you threatened violence or physical harm.” I’ll wager Trump’s secret service guys were absolutely shitting themselves when they read it, so it’s probably for the best they took it down tbf.
On the bright side, it was the kick up the backside that was needed to get me to try Lemmy, and I hardly use Reddit at all now.
I replaced every one of my comments and posts with lorem ipsum before I terminated my accounts.
I got banned from one of the UK subreddits when someone posted a lengthy comment about why Brexit was amazing, and I responded that Brexit was idiotic. I got banned for “being political” and the person I was responding to didn’t lol.
Sounds like you were a dick and didn’t realize and doubled down. No way to tell now.
I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.
Reddit mods don’t need to follow any sort of logic.
And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.
There sure are cases of injust behavior by power tripping mods. That being said just presuming guilt and malice is unfair to the volunteers taking care of reddit today.
But its okay to presume guilt and malice of the person commenting here?
“Taking care of reddit”
lol fuck reddit
What a bold and insulting statement to make with absolutely no information to back it up.
Based on how you tell the story.
It’s a reasonable scenario for the result and your interpretation of it.
Sounds like you were a dick and didn’t realize and doubled down…
I realized I was a bit off base. Seems like you took it to heart.
People really ought to read who they are replying to.
