MODERATORS
Honestly, I'd be interested to hear about your adventures.
I just... left.
They didn’t ban me; I banned them…
I didn't. I left of my own accord.
I got banned for "attempting to circumvent a ban" despite not being banned at the time.
Wait, can you tell more?
No. I don't know anything else. I tried to appeal the ban but never heard anything else. Fuck 'em
By the way, my 3rd account was banned because I asked why my post was banned.
I said billionaires should be put to the guillotine.
I asked why the CIA hadn't killed Trump yet. That, and upvoting a comment of a user who later got banned, got me banned.
I was added to a moderation list on Bluesky for following someone on Twitter and subsequently muting them, and then forgetting I had followed them when I used a tool to migrate all of my follows to Bluesky. Which is just a stupid mistake, but what about people who are following notable bigots because they're journalists and have to keep tabs on what they say?
Being banned for upvoting someone's comment seems similarly tunnel-visioned. If you're upvoting their pun about the moon or their helpful cooking suggestion or their computer build tip, getting banned because you didn't check their entire post history before upvoting is absolutely insane to me.
Guilt by association is only a thing if it's actually association.

I told homophobes they were pieces of shit and got permabanned for it
Well, that was pretty insulting to pieces of shit…
Hey! Me too!
I didn't. I left when they killed RiF
Same, sad they killed rif but at least it pushed me to lemmy
I got banned for repeatedly tagging a global warming denier in posts about climate change
I made a random comment about a movie’s premiere date on r/FauxMoi without realizing that FauxMoi had blocked my old reddit account years ago. (I have absolutely no clue why FauxMoi blocked my first account.) Reddit viewed me using a new account to comment on FauxMoi as “ban evasion” and now I’m perma-banned from reddit. I received no warning, no notice, I had no idea I was even banned from commenting on FauxMoi.
Every time I make a new account, regardless of the email or where I make the account, the ban follows me. I tried to explain the mistake, that I hadn’t realized my old reddit account was banned from FauxMoi and that I’d take down my (perfectly innocuous, on-topic) comment. Nope. They didn’t care. I’m just fucked. Thanks mods at FauxMoi, hope yalls choke.
It's a familiar situation, but I didn't last long on Reddit. My first account was banned after a few months because of one picture.
Although I'm not entirely sure. I also made a scandalous revelation and people were unhappy.
What was the picture of?
I said Italy knows how to deal with fascists in a post about Mussolini.
Well, they let them into government again, so ...
Someone asked if a prisoner being resuscitated has finished serving their life sentence, I said you have to be irrevocably dead, admins said that promotes violence.
I got "VPN banned" despite not using a VPN lmao
Granted I haden't used the service since the API changes anyway, so no loss there, but I did get a pretty big chuckle when i finally found that out.
I got blocked from the subreddit I created because I made it private due to the API debacle and refused to make it public until they undid the decision.
I got banned from /r/WorldNews and /r/ukpolitics for saying that "from the river to the sea" isn't antisemitic. It was in the early days post Oct 7th when reddit was virulently pro-Israel; I don't think they'd do the same nowadays.
I didn't leave immediately but thinking about it again really pissed me off as I'd been a regular commenter without much issue for years. It genuinely left me feeling quite depressed thinking about how little I mattered to them. When you get banned there's always some shit about how you should ask if you don't understand the ban, but one sub never replied, the other went further and told me to stop messaging their mods (I did so once a week when I wasn't receiving replies, to not spam them) so that was meaningless.
The irony is that here I'm usually getting downvoted for being insufficiently anti-Israel.
Warned after upvoting "violent" comments apparently. What they were? I haven't a clue.
Permanently Banned for inciting violence.
I said the Trump government was going to put LGBT people in camps and this was a bad thing.
I left when they killed Apollo and third party apps altogether. The only way I viewed Reddit was through that app, so Reddit was dead to me at that point. I used a tool that edited all of my old comments, deleted my 10-year-old+ account and left forever.
A posted a meme in r/conservative that featured the home addresses of prominent conservative talking heads in a thread about how the left can't meme.
Similar to CommieKender, it left my phone when RiF died. I have it on my desktop but I never comment ot post, and obviously I and all my coworkers browse at work during desk rotations.
So, I had a bunch of socks and wanted to spread out my activity so I'd be harder for mods to build a profile on and gatekeep me from spaces based on my activity
none got site-banned, only ever got myself sub banned from r/conservative for being a shitty little debate boy. but when mods started to suspect something was up they'd eventually stop approving my comments to be posted. in 2023 they got a fancy new mod suite where all comments are approved manually and you could leave notes on users for other mods to see. mine probably said something like "shitty little debate boy" or "terminally online".
anywho after they started making votes a bannable offense, I just decided to stop warming up alts.
but what about your story? you can't just make this thread and then not share
I honestly don't know. It was a relatively clean account. Then my friend, who is a redditor by heart, got banned. It looks like he was banned just because he was associated with me. And now, if we make new accounts, they get instantly deleted. I don't care because I moved to Lemmy a "long" time ago. But my friend is heartbroken.
