Honestly, I’d be interested to hear about your adventures.

    I got banned for “attempting to circumvent a ban” despite not being banned at the time.

    I made a random comment about a movie’s premiere date on r/FauxMoi without realizing that FauxMoi had blocked my old reddit account years ago. (I have absolutely no clue why FauxMoi blocked my first account.) Reddit viewed me using a new account to comment on FauxMoi as “ban evasion” and now I’m perma-banned from reddit. I received no warning, no notice, I had no idea I was even banned from commenting on FauxMoi.

    Every time I make a new account, regardless of the email or where I make the account, the ban follows me. I tried to explain the mistake, that I hadn’t realized my old reddit account was banned from FauxMoi and that I’d take down my (perfectly innocuous, on-topic) comment. Nope. They didn’t care. I’m just fucked. Thanks mods at FauxMoi, hope yalls choke.

      It’s a familiar situation, but I didn’t last long on Reddit. My first account was banned after a few months because of one picture.

      Although I’m not entirely sure. I also made a scandalous revelation and people were unhappy.

    Someone asked if a prisoner being resuscitated has finished serving their life sentence, I said you have to be irrevocably dead, admins said that promotes violence.

      To fight the fascists, you need to be independent from them, even to have your own food, and if there are many such independent people, then the fascists will have a hard time forcing people to return to them.

    Banned for going after Israel and IDF shills promoting hate speech and calling for violence. Clear violations of the TOS, even back in 2023, but reporting it got me perma-banned after 13 years.

    I got banned from /r/WorldNews and /r/ukpolitics for saying that “from the river to the sea” isn’t antisemitic. It was in the early days post Oct 7th when reddit was virulently pro-Israel; I don’t think they’d do the same nowadays.

    I didn’t leave immediately but thinking about it again really pissed me off as I’d been a regular commenter without much issue for years. It genuinely left me feeling quite depressed thinking about how little I mattered to them. When you get banned there’s always some shit about how you should ask if you don’t understand the ban, but one sub never replied, the other went further and told me to stop messaging their mods (I did so once a week when I wasn’t receiving replies, to not spam them) so that was meaningless.

    The irony is that here I’m usually getting downvoted for being insufficiently anti-Israel.

    Permanently Banned for inciting violence.

    I said the Trump government was going to put LGBT people in camps and this was a bad thing.

    Calling for Elon Musk to get burned by the Canadian government for subsidy fraud. They took me literally, instead of recognizing the term for when a government disavows, or cuts all ties with a person or business, is called getting “burned”.

    I got “VPN banned” despite not using a VPN lmao

    Granted I haden’t used the service since the API changes anyway, so no loss there, but I did get a pretty big chuckle when i finally found that out.
