Yep. I got a subreddit ban upgraded to a temporary site-wide ban. Why? Because I appealed a Moderator's decision. That's "harassment" according to Reddit. I hope Elon buys this place and runs it into the ground next.

I have been banned from subs I have never commented in. Just because I like guns and was a cop.

The 70% mods work for a strategist company imo. They will ban for dissenting opinion then cite harassment if you disagree with them. They don't actually care about the ban at all. Only controlling the narrative. So arguing with them is pointless since they have no feelings towards anything other then pushing an agenda. If you ever get banned from a subreddit there is no point in engaging with a bad faith mod. Also when disagreeing with people you can't call them any names even if they are calling you names. Since they will use their buddies to report for harassment. Like 50 of their accounts vs your one account will always lose. But you can definitely argue with them and make them look dumb long as you don't call them names directly.

Reddit moderators, in their quest for a fleeting sense of power and usefulness, often find themselves compelled to issue bans and engage in censorship even when there is no justifiable reason to do so. This desperate need for control, driven by the fear of experiencing severe withdrawals, is a sobering reminder of just how temporary and insubstantial this illusion of influence truly is. As soon as they return to the reality of their daily lives, the instant gratification from their perceived authority dissipates, leaving them craving for their next fix in the digital realm.

I was permanently banned from one sub for not citing scientific reference. It was also my first and only comment in that sub.

Welcome to Reddit

It would be better if you posted a screenshot of you pleading your case to the mods and trying to explain things to them. Just so we have more information.

You said something probably true in a discussion, someone didn't like it and used the word of death "hate speech" mod reacted as always to left wing nut jobs. This practice will be the death of reddit.

Called a fake drug dealer harassing me an “idiot” and was warned for bullying/harrassing. His account was closed!

Same thing. Someone reported my comment because they chose to interpret it incorrectly as racist. Explained my meaning to the mods. They didn't care. Ironically, their policy of allowing videos of racially motivated violence only encourages and perpetuates rascism. 🙄

I got banned for proof. I stated proof is not in your rules or guidelines for this sub. I got muted for that one.
