Permanently banned from r/Futurology...

I commented in a post titled "We call upon Reddit to take action against the rampant Coronavirus misinformation on their website." and replied to someone who commented: "So plenty of things Fauci and the CDC said last month or last year would be marked misinformation, right?" and my reply was: "Right? *crickets* Edit: actually it's usually people denying Fauci lied or downplaying the lies by Fauci, Biden (both of whom have lied multiple times re covid-19) and Cuomo (including mishandling - see nursing home scandal and him saying he doesn't trust medical experts) and saying it is not as dangerous as when say a certain podcaster talks about a certain politicized drug that shall not be named here." https://i.imgur.com/76uCsUH.jpg
Just a fyi, but I am not an anti-vaxxer, and have never been anti-vax. I am pro-vax and have myself been vaccinated. I am pro-mask and have been since the start of this pandemic. I have encouraged people to get vaccinated. I have not encouraged people to go take drugs not prescribed to them. The most I have done is discussed how drugs are politicized and about experts speculating about drugs that could potentially be used to help treat the virus. I am not a republican or libertarian, not that this should matter.
So I received this just minutes after I posted my comment:
>Hi, karmagheden. Thanks for contributing. However, your comment was removed from /r/Futurology
>Rule 6 - Comments that dismiss well-established science without compelling evidence may be removed.
>Refer to the subreddit rules, the transparency wiki, or the domain blacklist for more information.
>Message the Mods if you feel this was in error.
>[Link to your comment]
I messaged the mods, replying with: I have a question regarding the removal of this comment:
>Can I ask where in this comment of mine did I violate this rule?
>>Rule 6 - Comments that dismiss well-established science without compelling evidence may be removed.
I then got this message in return:
>You have been permanently banned from participating in r/Futurology. You can still view and subscribe to r/Futurology, but you won't be able to post or comment.
>Note from the moderators:
>context / sub rules / sidebar / site rules / cat
>This comment may have fully or partially contributed to your ban:
>>Right? crickets Edit: actually it's usually people denying Fauci lied or downplaying the lies by Fauci, Biden (both of whom have lied multiple times re covid-19) and Cuomo (including mishandling - see nursing home scandal and him saying he doesn't trust medical experts) and saying it is not as dangerous as when say a certain podcaster talks about a certain politicized drug that shall not be named here.
I responded with:
>???
>Where did I violate rule 6 and what about my comment there warrants a ban? All three of those individuals have lied over covid-19. That is a fact.
Then:
>What the actual fuck?
No reply.
That was 11 hours ago and just 4 minutes ago I received this:
>You have been temporarily muted from r/Futurology. You will not be able to message the moderators of r/Futurology for 7 days.
