    auto-bans like that are so dumb because it could be I went into some not-allowed sub and said “wow, this sucks, everyone here is a deluded idiot” and then you get banned from some other sub for “participating” in the Bad one.

      Which honestly is a bunch of horseshit, because what’s it to them if you view/comment in another sub that the mods disagree with. I got banned from a number of subs for dropping into r/conservative and calling out people’s shit, cause apparently acknowledging their existence a no-no. Good riddance lol

        I got banned from some sub for calling out people on their shit in some post on the front page. I didn’t even realize what sub I was commenting in. Didn’t matter of course, and my appeal got ghosted.

          I’ve had that for posting on subs like Conservative and PCM - then I realised I don’t particularly want to participate in a sub that would ban me for calling out fascistic stupidity in an entirely unrelated space.

        I’ve been banned before for having posted on the Red Pill subreddit about a decade ago. Best one was being banned from /r/justiceserved because I posted on the SubredditCancer subreddit before, and apparently they’re a “hate sub”

      That happened to me, I got a preemptive ban from a safe venting sub for calling out a bad faith post on a right wing sub. Dafuq.

      Also the real malicious actors already have those bots blocked so lot of good they do when Reddit locks access to profiles of blocked users, actually a pretty good feature though since it allows for people to combat this kind of abuse if they are proactive enough.

            I mean from their perspective. They think they’re castigating you for posting in the Bad Sub.
