I literally got perma banned from r/technology a few hours ago, presumably for a comment I posted over the weekend where I vented about online dating apps and how they're making people turn to sycophant AI chatbots for love. Apparently pointing out how sky high women's standards are on apps is bigotry and that's unacceptable. My 15+ years of participating on that subreddit didn't matter, nor did the fact that I didn't use any misogynistic terminology, didn't type any slurs, didn't promote any incel/MGTOW/red pill rhetoric and didn't throw out any personal insults. Some asshole Reddit mod didn't like my comment and now I'm gone.

This could've been a comment removal and warning. Instead they took the nuclear route.

Not even gonna bother appealing it as I know these assholes are just gonna tell me to fuck off, mod mail mute me for 28 days then cwy hawassment to the admins if I push the issue any further. Literally unsubscribed from the subreddit and muted it, much like I did with r/Worldnews when they banned me for criticizing Saudi Arabia and their treatment of women.

Fully agree with your comment. Lemmy's cooler. I feel like I can speak my mind on here without having to worry about overzealous internet janitors or having to mince my words to avoid shadow bans.
