I got IP banned across my older unused accounts, and my newer ones for mass editing, then deleting my comments to a message that was basically "reddit killed itself due to this API change".
I've been shadow banned several times for linking subreddits relevant to the discussion more then once in a comment section. So I started only sharing it once.
I've also been shadow banned for sharing large lists of on topic youtube links.
I believe I am running into some sort of spam prevention system, even though I see other users posting similar content. So my theory is that there is some sort of whitelist for this activity (i changed my username often when i used reddit), or I am running afoul with a certain moderator or admin.
Hard to tell when you're not even banned so there isn't a reason given to me. Wonderful system.
Back to imgur's user-sub I guess. Also I appreciate yall having me here as well.
One time a guy said disabled people should kill themselves for the good of the gene pool so I told him eugenicists should be publicly flogged and I got banned for inciting violence, and then I got IP banned when I told the moderator there's no point banning me because it's trivial for me to just use another account (in more colorful language). I'm also pretty homophobic & transphobic so I've caught a number of bans for that sort of thing before. My current account is on 1 warning atm cus I said something about feminism, I don't recall what it was.
I'm not sure why you would think being banned should prompt self-reflection? It's not like any of my reasons for believing the things I do has changed, and it's not like being banned from Reddit really has any negative consequences for me.
Getting banned 16 times from a social space is a pretty clear message that you're not welcome. Equivalent behavior in meatspace would likely get you trespassed from the property or arrested.
