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

I just nuked my account and fecked off to Lemmy after the API kill.
I didn’t. I left when they killed RiF
Amen
I said billionaires should be put to the guillotine.
Honesty can be deadly. :3
Same
I got banned for “attempting to circumvent a ban” despite not being banned at the time.
Wait, can you tell more?
No. I don’t know anything else. I tried to appeal the ban but never heard anything else. Fuck 'em
By the way, my 3rd account was banned because I asked why my post was banned.
Maybe you had the same username as someone who got banned?
Aren’t usernames unique on reddit?
That’s part of the joke. The other part is that it happens in real life that people are denied passage into a country because someone else with the name is on a terrorist list. I read about it in the great book “One day, everyone will have always been against this”.
I didn’t expect anyone the get the whole joke but I make it anyway. This is the internet.
Don’t know. Don’t care. Reddit is a hot pile of garbage.
I told homophobes they were pieces of shit and got permabanned for it
Hey! Me too!
I got banned for repeatedly tagging a global warming denier in posts about climate change
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.
What was the picture of?
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.
I said Italy knows how to deal with fascists in a post about Mussolini.
Well, they let them into government again, so …
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.
Heroes, as always, are not respected, but eliminated.
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.
A posted a meme in r/conservative that featured the home addresses of prominent conservative talking heads in a thread about how the left can’t meme.
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.
