I got banned from countless subreddits becuase I dared arguing with covide deniers on r/NoNewNormal. I didn't even agree with them and was always critical but that apperently doesn't matter


I got banned from around 15 popular subreddits (which I didn't read or participate anyway) for posting a comment in r/conspiracy which wasn't even related to the vax. There are thousands of cases like yours and mine and worst of all: it was fully automated. You literally posted anything into certain subreddits and you get autobanned in communities that aren't even related by any metric.

I didn't bother appealing since I don't care about those but it felt really dumb and perhaps a clear sign of Reddit's end times.


Did you get banned from anti-NoNewNormal subs for commenting in NoNewNormal? Or did the bannings come from subs like-minded to NoNewNormal because you disagreed with them?


From anti-nonewnormal subs. Its fully automated ban as far as I know


I got banned from one because a creep tagged me in one of those subs

I've never read or posted anything in them as far as I know

I'm actually kind of sympathetic to the ones trying to stop brigading though

The Chinese bots following me around for speaking about the uyghur genocide are pretty bad
