Reddit banned me for responding to the bullies and refusing to delete those comments, didn’t know Reddit was so censorial.
I got a ban for 'inciting hatred or violence' calling someone a "Human piece of garbage" for thinking only vulnerable or old people died of Covid. I knew a number of people in their 20s and 30s personally who died who were otherwise healthy. They doubled down after I challenged his statement by saying "They must have had some underlying condition. Healthy people didn't die to Covid". I called him what I called him and got banned. I checked a day later and he was still posting in other subs.
Ended up just deleting all my accounts and came here.
May I ask, how many violations was it on that particular account? Because I always dropped them after a 3-day ban, which is the second offense, and out of spite I wait to start a new account, which is what I'm doing right now, the first time I waited a year and a half, I think I might mostly quit now, but they don't seem to care until your account gets hot. Like if you make a new account which you can do with it temporary email like guerilla mail, they are like wink wink, for now.
Dont bother with a new account. You'll just get banned randomly for having a different opinion than a mod on some shitty hobby sub.
Reddit is useful for getting information for troubleshooting and stuff when your search engine directs you there, but its not somewhere you want to actually be.
