Last year after I posted a innocuous, benign comment on a certain subreddit I was permanently banned from that subreddit because I was allegedly "ban evading" (I wasn't, I have a single account). I contacted the mod from that subreddit saying I wasn't ban evading, and they replied "Sure" and blocked me from messaging mods for a year. An hour later (without doing anything else) I got banned site wide for 3 days for "ban evading". That really pissed me off and I haven't used reddit ever since (except for google search results). I'm definitely happier without reddit.

Not that different from Wikipedia or Stack Exchange in some ways.

They also often use the invented word "brigading" to justify any and all bans. Like you can write literally anything in the subreddit and it can can be considered "brigading" because the threshold doesn't exist for that. Especially tokenbro snowflakes like to do that. And another popular imaginary reason for bans is the crosspost feature. If you ever crosspost anything from the snowflake sub they will automatically ban you with a script, for using this stock Reddit feature. Since Monday I've stopped visiting Reddit to try to get less addicted to mindless reading. I've caught myself opening the app like 5 times already, but so far experiment was mostly a success. Need to keep up for a month more I think.
