I received a warning and my comment got deleted by Reddit. And after the news about potentially getting banned for upvoting specific content, I decided enough was enough, I deleted my account which I've had for 12 years.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

agreed, its a matter of time anyways people are going to get banned fot he most preposterous thing. getting permaban from the site after a temp ban, a shadowban out of nowhere that doesnt make sense. usually shadowbanned were reserved for repeat ban site wide-evaders, but its banning anyone for the slightest incident.
I got banned for repeatly saying ashli babbit deserved a bullet. Got classified as promoting violence
Well, that is pretty direct.

"Edolf" lol. My pet name for Trump is Liddle Shitler.
I got permabanned for criticizing Israel. The final comment that got me permabanned was literally 'No, just the problems they deserve blame for' to a zionist who accused all Lebanese of blaming all their problems on Israel.
I got shadowbannned after posting about politics.
I never called for or celebrated violence, didn't upvote pictures of Luigi (which they have a STRANGE hard-on for) or any of that. I just posted neutrally-worded opinions.
Shadowbanning is an abusive behavior and Reddit has been about that for well over a decade. On Twitter, you do something they don't like, they just tell you, "you have to delete this tweet and wait 12 hours" or whatever. On Reddit, your account just gets "weird" with strange error messages. You have to go digging for information on the phenomenon because they don't display a message or send an email about it.
The cute little aliens are there to paper over the fact that Reddit's leadership has no concept of user advocacy. You're just rows in a few tables to them. You're the product that's being sold, and as far as they're concerned that gives you the same rights as any other product on a shelf.
They are still sending me emails with cute little aliens in them, even though my account is hosed. This is how disjointed they are.
Someone else wrote that on Reddit, the users and admins hate each other. I think that's true.

Welcome to the bright side :)
Permabanned for reporting posts on r/truerateme
those ego stroking subs are prone to that. i got temp ban from technology for "reporting posts" too.
I told Nazis to go kill themselves. Then made multiple Krasnov accounts. All banned and now perm banned unless I use VPN. It was time to go, fuck that place. Welcome home.
Not banned. Just close account!
I was perma-banned because I made a joke about chucking a rock through the windshield of a literal, out-and-proud-capital-N Nazi.
Didn't make any appeals because it was time to leave. I spent waaaay too much time on that stupid site and now I'm starting to finally feel free of the outrage/affirmation addiction.

I got banned in 2019 for hate speech against cops.
They're most vulnerable and marginalized community. How dare you refuse to kiss their boots.

Permabanned for asking what Eisenhower would do if he was present at a Nazi march in Wisconsin and someone handed him a machine gun.
Apparently, impossible hypotheticals (Eisenhower is long dead) intended as a commentary on the fascist shift of the republican party (Eisenhower was a republican) are advocating violence. Eisenhower famously led efforts to kill Nazis.
So here I am.
Part of me wants to engage in ban evasion and just post hate all over reddit to make it worse. What are they going to do? Ban me? Too lazy to bother though.
