Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

My three notable bans:

  1. Banned from politics for quoting the Constitution on treason punishment
  2. Banned from gym for arguing with a "pro" claiming there are no stupid exercises and bad form doesn't exist.
  3. Banned from child free for saying not every one that is child free hates children with the passion of a burning sun and wants them all to die.

Edit: I forgot to mention when time number 2 happened. I asked the mod "Why was I banned?" Then my entire account got a 3 month suspension for "Mod abuse" by the admins.

When Epstein was sent to prison and was in protective custody, I suggested that he shouldn't have special treatment and belonged in genpop.

Banned for advocating violence against someone.

May that mod have a spasm and faceplant hard on a gravel road, then be forced to drink cold hot-dog water while listening to Baby Shark at high volume on an endless loop. And may all their teeth fall out but one, and in that, may they have a toothache.

That's somehow badly proportioned. Didn't he have a smaller face on that big head?

Compared to the ones listed above you this one I can understand, although it is really funny.

[–] knotRyder@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

It was just a suggestion.... geez

What's funny about ruining a perfectly good drill bit?

[–] maturelemontree@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago

By drilling a perfectly bad statue.
