I was permanently banned from reddit recently. Reason? There was a moron in a game sub who kept saying that I am dumb and my stats must be shit. I shared my stat and commented, “It must be tough to think and breathe at the same time with just one brain cell.” Boom. Banned for violating some policy. The moron who was being toxic is still active and pissing other people off. What’s more funny is that they even rejected my appeal.

I was banned for saying fascists need to be hung, appeal rejected. While you got that r/conservative sub and others like it being well, fascist and calling for Liberals demise.

Seems to me Reddit is a OK with hate speech as long as you hate the right kind.

It's just like Twitter. Now that Trump is back in the white house, tech companies can get away with whatever boosts profits, even if it means being a toxic cesspool of conservative hate speech (it's ok because the president does it amirite)

Fuck reddit. My ban is a badge of honor for not being a fucking snowflake.

Filing appeals is a joke on Reddit. They just simply ignore all of them. I've been shadowbanned from Reddit now for almost a month and I've submitted maybe three appeals. They just get off on their righteous rhetoric who feel they can never do wrong. They probably get off on people begging to have their accounts restored. Spam-filtering my ass, it's working as intended as in, it makes their jobs easier to ignore you.

Every Reddit mod is thriving in victim culture. The instant someone makes a complaint, they become a victim, and the smooth brained mods are incapable of removing their anchoring bias from their brains when making a decision.

Mods don't do perma bans. This has nothing to do with mods.
