    No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?

      They ban people very selectively and its always ideologically motivated. There was a period of time where you would get a 3-day ban for just upvoting the wrong posts. So you could lurk and still get banned for some reason. That happened to me multiple times before I decided to delete my account.

          I downvoted an unpopular admin comment once and got suspended for 3 days for “brigading”. It was in the negative thousands.

          Nevermind I went to the subreddit for announcements, found that heavily downvoted comment, thought it added nothing to the discussion, because it was fundamentally ridiculous in my mind, and they determined that those actions constituted “brigading”.
