I moderate a few modestly sized subreddits for a niche hobby -- regular stuff, nothing that could be regarded as morally questionable or a ToS issue -- to the tune of 10k-15k active users on a busy day. My account was suspended for "suspicious activity" the other day[1], and some of my less active subreddits were also banned. While extenuating circumstances (described in the post linked below) mean it's plausible this was an overzealous spambot, the timing is curious, as I had just added my subs to the protest, and was in the process of communicating with the mods of some fairly large subreddits about joining the protest. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36192312 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36192312

It seems petty. That said this decentralization effort ( if users moving to other products can be called that ) may be good overall. I was getting weary of Reddit, Discord and few other entities owning nearly the entire market.

The real question here is this: What have reddit administrators done in the last 10 years that makes you the person reading this comment believe that they deserve the benefit of doubt? On the off chance it was an overzealous anti-spam bot, but you accused them of dirty dealings anyway, is this a form of injustice so awful that you would feel remorse the rest of our life for the false allegations? I know what my answer is.
