    I was banned from the Anti-Work subreddit for questioning why someone in a picket line was dressed like the wish .com version of Che Guevara. He looked ridiculous, nobody else was dressed up, and they were picketing a fucking Starbucks.

    I thought it was just a funny observation but the mods banned me after it got upvoted to top comment on the post lol

    I get banned from Facebook groups all the time for dumb reasons. Facebook group mods and admins have a God complex or something.

    I got permabanned from /r/askhistorians for posting a link to reveddit, a site where you could view deleted posts. I did that to inform people that they could use that site to see all the posts that the mods remove (in that subreddit they remove any post that does not provide references).

    I thought that the worst case would be that my post would get deleted and I would get a warning. No, they just permabanned me.

    I was mad so I appealed telling them that it’s wrong to permaban people for reasons like this. I understand permaban for offensive content. But I still don’t understand their action.

    Discussing with them proved that while one of them one reasonable and understanding, the other was completely mad about my action and wanted me to be almost on my knees pleading to remove the permaban. Eventually they “did a vote” and I stayed permabanned. I tried again one year later to no avail - I figured, maybe one year later they would get over it. Nope.

    I just stopped checking and recommending /r/askhistorians ever since.

    I was banned from r/whitepeopletwitter for following r/conservative then I was banned from both r/conservative and r/libertarian for suggesting that Biden knew about politics. Not that I agreed with him on anything, just that he had an above average understanding of how politics works

    I created r/keitruck and r/Seattlegay using two separate accounts obviously. Somewhere during the pandemic, I started getting a ton of unreachable content warnings. Like I couldn’t tell where they were coming from or from who. So I couldn’t actually delete any comment that might have offended someone. I would see one or two per hour. One day it was one every few minutes. When I woke up the next day, all of my accounts were permanently banned. I couldn’t even create a new account. They banned by actual hardware address or something.

    I once created a community about sharing IPTV subscription tutorials and Firestick-related tutorials to solve the problem. Because some text and content were said to be due to copyright issues, banned them, causing me to lose some followers. I was sad for a long time because I really worked hard in this community. It takes me a long time to run it almost every day. It has also helped many sports fans and IPTV users solve related problems. Later, I re-created some groups to share my tutorial content, (r/ IviewHDIPTVservice.r /SomeIPTVservices.r/OTV_IPTV) is currently stable. It feels like running a Reddit account takes too much time and is too restrictive! All kinds of teasing… Sometimes it just seems like a joke!

    I got banned from Am I The Asshole for calling someone in OPs story a loser from highschool (90s version of a neck beard who thinks he’s gods gift to the world). Turns out one of the mods was that exact same flavour of loser.

    I’m now permanently suspended for saying Andrew Tate deserved to get raped in prison and pointing out the irony of him objecting to house arrest when he was literally keeping people trapped in his house and was raping them. There were posts defending rape, but that was just sooooo offside.

    8 years and 200,000+ karma.

    Post was obv deleted by the mods (after 200 upvotes) so this is the best I got.

    Getting banned from /r/conservative for stupid bullshit is like a liberal rite of passage. I got mine for suggesting, in a thread about Walmart, that the concept of “enough profit” could, theoretically, exist.

    Also site-wide banned (then reversed) for “sexualization of minors” when the post they quoted was me doing literally the opposite of that and calling out somebody else for it.

    Banned because I made a meme that reddit was once a platform for free speech now a social engineering tool, found any excuse on my profile to give me a label of hate speech, and also because I disagreed with abortion.

      And.now you’ve been “unfairly” banned here on lemmy.ml.

      What you people don’t understand is that intolerance isn’t a right. No one has to, and no one ever should, tolerate you being intolerant of others.
