    Ban-happy trash mods is what got me here! LOL!

    r/mildlyinfuriating had a post about stores locking up their products. I said “thank the criminals”…that was it. PERMABANNED! I was confused and asked why. They said that “all of you racists are getting banned”…so I let them know that not only am I not racist, AND we likely have aligned ideologies, but it never occurred to me to read that sentence as racist! 3-day mute and told if I never contact them again they will report me for harassment.

    Of the several complete BS bans I have received, ONE was legit. On r/blackpeopletwitter I was mocking something MAGA scum would say to the situation and got banned for racist content…I agreed it was definitely racist, because it was imitating racists…so I didn’t even argue about that one.

    Their ban evasion prevention is a joke, so I just evade them and continue to post sometimes.

      Yeah I used to mod Street fighter until yesterday. Niche communities still have good moderation teams but the generic bullshit subreddits are all going to be whack jobs.
