Just posted a question/discussion on Reddit about EV tarrifs. Was up for several hours, generated a great discussion and then it was removed by a mod. They reckoned it shouldn't be there, despite loads of super-helpful comments that were relevant to the community. The mod directed me to another sub. I posted in there and it was auto removed in minutes. Then my account was banned. Platform is fucked.

The best part is, you get no "proof" of your "crime." What was the post? Dunno, it was deleted. What was the reason? Dunno, you're banned for 3 days, congratulations!

Fuck 'em, no more free content for them.

    3 years ago in r/pics I left a comment to a pic. I know that it was a "piling-on" situation, as my entire comment was

    And my axe!

    Banned. The entire thread was killed and I could only see my comment: no clue as to context.

    I asked a mod and got some 'f-u' response. I asked for clarification on that (politely, I promise) and got perma-banned.

    Corrective action needs context. That was just fronting. As an ass, I can confirm: that mod also was an ass.

    I was in a small country sub and I asked why I was banned and got a snarky reply saying I copy pasted my question from the internet and I'm like what bro and got permabanned. (This was before chatgpt) Later, I found out a bunch of the mods didn't even live in the country which makes sense in hindsight cause they would be confused about certain cultural contexts and would take a more pro American stance when it comes to political posts/comments...
