The wprst part of reddit is subs can ban you cause you interact in other subs like bruh wtf?

    Once, years ago after a bad school shooting, I went to the conservative subreddit to argue with them about gun control (specifically improper storage and liability) because I was so bothered by the shooting and was feeling impassioned.

    Didn't get banned by the conservatives for that, but I got auto-banned from a whole list of unrelated subreddits for even speaking to them. What kind of mean-girls nonsense is that? It was like I was being ostracized for briefly sitting at the wrong lunch table.

    Mods that autoban based on participation in subs should have their mod privs revoked or be banned themselves.

    Let me take a guess two of the subs that banned you, /r/upliftingnews and /r/mademesmile?

    I engage with conservative folks on various subs because I find they are often easier to sway over to materialist lefty thinking than liberals are. Post-GamerGate, doing so got me autobanned from a whole bunch of subreddits, including various feminist, socialist, progressive spaces.

    As far as I'm aware no right-wing (or adjacent) sub banned me for being a straight up socialist, including places like conservative and mensrights.

    This shit is part of why libs suck and will keep losing.

    Ha! I got banned from r/mensrights because as a working medic, I tried to explain why more public awareness campaigning for women and heart attacks was so important. And that's because they often do not present classic symptomology like men mostly do. So it can be hard to diagnose in the wild. And it's kind of important to get it right as fast as possible.

    Idiots.

    This happens on Lemmy too. Both Lemmy and Reddit are moderated by humans, and humans can be dicks.

    I got banned from a bunch of comms on startrek.website all at once with the word "tankie" as the justification. I had minimal participation on startrek.website. I'm sure it's a coincidence that I was fighting with PugJesus on another instance at the time. And of course jordanlund uses the banhammer as a "win argument" button.

    crossbans happens, it was really aggressive during around the time when roegan started peddling to right wing base. i commented once on that sub(almost everyone in that sub was pretty making fun of joe roegan). recieved instant ban from other subs as a result.
