Bruh, at least you just got banned "for" something. I got shadowbanned, and for seemingly no reason at all! I made some very neutral comments in fandom subreddits, and only when I looked at the pages logged out, I realized the comments were not showing up. I can only guess it was either my location, my custom domain email, or a combination of both.

I had that happen too. Conversations with people would just dissapear. I'm done there. I can't say anything even slightly edgy without getting banned. I got banned from a sub for saying mods will kill reddit. I got a permanent hate speech ban for a fantastic joke.

"I can't show you the evidence of Haitians eating pets. They already ate all the evidence."

I like the reddit form of consuming information but that place you either get in line or get silenced. The equivalent of r/politics is far left on here too so that might be a bad sign for this site though lol.

Urm... You're describing a completely different situation, you got banned for something you said and maybe by mods. I am describing a situation of being silenced for seemingly no reason and without even warning me!
