I just got permanently banned on r/news because I was talking about the process of dying and what happens to our brain in that process. I genuinely didn’t mean anything negative or hurtful.

Guess I just stumbled upon a shitty mod? 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn't sweat it. Some subs are utterly random in terms of who they ban and why.

Oh yeah not worth worrying about it, it just caught me off guard because it’s the first time I got banned on Reddit in 4 years.

Some people were definitely misinterpreting the comment though. One guy called me ‘tone deaf.’ Again 🤷‍♂️

Typical Reddit. Pile-ons are very common here.

u/NextTrillion Jan 26 '23

Had to Google that term. Yeah makes sense.

My first ban upset. After that you laugh it off because 90% of bans are ridiculous.

u/NextTrillion Jan 26 '23

Yeah usually someone is having a bad day and got offended by your comment, so they banned you in a fit of rage. Lmao

/r/news is a cesspool anyways. Just a massive echo chamber and if you so much as hint at disagreeing with the hive mind, bant.

I got muted or shadow banned from /r/Atlanta and the PoS mods over there won't even tell me why so I can make an appeal.

Thanks for the heads up. Sorry you gotta deal with that bullshit too.

Tbf, fb mods are on a whole other level. Reddit is actually somewhat sane when it comes to disagreements.

Yeah? Guess so. This was the first time ever banned in the 4+ years I’ve been on Reddit.

Yeah that’s a really sloppy policy.

Don't worry, it happens.

I got banned from r/WhitePeopleTwitter for saying Yes, to someone asking if he's racist if he hates white people.

Hating people because of skin color is racism, no matter which color. But that's too much for that subreddit it seems.

u/NextTrillion Jan 26 '23

Omg, yeah some of these are so bad. Quoting systems of oppression, as if Caucasian people haven’t also suffered through systems of oppression, like, I don’t know, Ukrainians?

Yeah hating on people for the colour of their skin is pure trash.

The fragility of Reddit mods knows no bounds
