tl;dr: r/AmITheAsshole?
So I'm a Reddit refugee late by two years. Before all, I'm from somewhere you'll need VPNs to access the real Internet, and people aren't familiar with how Reddit works.
I got permabanned in an anime subreddit for calling out someone straightly said "the manga is f***ing disgusting" bc fanservices. My language is at worse "I hope you're satisfied rubbing your uncivilizedness into [manga author]'s face" and my ban reason was "mean language & hate".
Well it was just a ban in one singular sub and smaller subs for same anime exists. But my deadass didn't think through and rage-deleted my 3y-old Reddit account, planning to "start again" before learning how Reddit treats newcomers, alt accounts and VPN users the hard way.
Now I have created some alts and all got either banned or shadowbanned for "ban evasion ", or may had smth to do with me using VPNs. Ofc I had to use an alt account now since I can't retreat to my old one. I can't even browse Reddit without logging in bc "blocked by network security".
I admit it's my fault rage-deleting my account recklessly; I admit it's not Reddit's fault they had to prevent spam and ban-evasion; but do I really deserved this?
Having turned my sub-wide ban into a Reddit-wide ban and learnt my lesson, I'm now here in Lemmy.
Now that I think of it, you're right about how concluding someone "rubbed their words into author's face" isn't quite true nor constructive.
I had been following ~~reddiquette~~ etiquette for three years straight before the incident, and could promise to do better in Lenny. Thanks for your warm welcome.
