On the bright side, it did give me the opportunity to block their mods and the entire sub, so that's a plus 😂

Honestly, my experiences on Reddit interacting with the far left mentality (and I have never voted for a Republican in my life, over like 20 years of voting) is pushing me more toward the 'center' or something. Yeah, the far right is ugly but man, the far left is pretty freaking ugly too. I know Reddit is just a social media site but for me it's a decent microcosm of social discourse in general -- in which an ascendant radical far left is embracing authoritarianism and censorship as tools against not only its traditional opponents, but more moderate members in the left as well, in a campaign to control the narrative.

Same happened to me earlier. I've never posted on WPT and actually blocked them from my feed so I was confused and replied to ask why. Mod said my question was abuse, even though I was responding to a bot (?), accused me of violating Reddit ToS, and muted me. Typical mod I guess

I asked the mods why I got banned, their reply: "You should know better than to participate on a subreddit where by definition every single post breaks sitewide rules... We don't allow people to be abusive in modmail. How we proceed from here is up to you." Imagine getting that fired up because someone might have the sheer audacity to comment on a post that made it to Reddit front page

What was the comment? If you're one of those people who argue an AR-15 isn't an assault rifle I'd probably ban you too
