Reddit did that to my account 4 days ago with a "3 day suspension". No reason. No justification. Just "fuck off for 3 days". No responses either on the appeals.

Reddit did that to my account 4 days ago with a "3 day suspension". No reason. No justification. Just "fuck off for 3 days". No responses either on the appeals. I'm the owner/head mod for a VERY popular subreddit. I gave it a very hard thought about systematically destroying that sub. It would make 200k people very sad, but in the end, its reddit's community that relies on *my* free labor to deal with pornspam and ilk. And, it would be me deplatforming 200k people that would likely go elsewhere. I didn't do it. Coolers heads have prevailed... for now. I'm still the mod. Nothing's changed. But I've equipped the sub with a few alts. If they do that suspension again, then I will respond in kind. I'm frankly tired of being a digital serf with unknown automated punishment mechanisms.

you are "lucky" it was a 3-day suspension... they like permanent bans, a lot...

  And you're 100% right. And I am really giving it thought in destroying the "community" aka reddit's profit motive. Im quite done being a "volunteer" kind-of-owner of a subreddit with no support. My choice probably won't affect that much in the larger picture. Maybe it will?

They're in IPO mode and systematically purging anything remotely controversial. My 9 year old account got suspended for saying that the admins enable pedophilia. They actually IP banned me so I can't create a new account. People are even being mass-banned for upvoting controversial content or participating in certain subreddits. Sometimes the admins lock users out of their accounts so they can't log in, appeal the suspension, or delete their posts/comments.
