It could be worse. You could've gotten banned by Horatio on Ars Technica's Battlefront forum for criticizing Microsoft. On a forum created specifically for criticizing operating systems.
They should just set whole reddit to read only mode and be done with it. They are banning people left and right for the dumbest things. Eventually people will just stop replying because fear on a ban. And that will be the end of it. It will have a digg death.
Don't forget slashdot
Welcome!
I got banned from 10+ subreddits for replying to a comment on r/conservative.
Apparently these mods have a system which scrapes other unrelated subreddits and then ban any participants.
When I used to use Reddit I browsed by r/all and didn't take notice of the subreddit.
Every sub that banned me for participating in another sub was a sub I had literally never heard of until getting their automod messages telling me I'm banned, and had less than 100 subscribers so, lol.
Even funnier was they were likely seeing the 1 comment made on /r/conservative where they made a big announcement basically saying "this isn't an echo chamber. We don't know what to call it but it's like this [goes on to describe an echo chamber] " and I replied "so, an echo chamber?" Which of course was an instant ban to /r/conservative. And hilarious.
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
