Well I was shadow banned on reddit

I finally got the kick I need to go 100% in on Lemmy. I don't know why I am surprised. At one point they said shadow banning was only ever supposed to be used against bots, but reddit doesn't care anymore.

I have been banned twice and shadowed banned many times at reddit. And that was before the spez stuff.

I think it was my states subreddits mods causing me trouble I think.

One time I made a comment on a post about nazis in town and said "Let me get my bat". That got me a permanent ban.
- If you can't find your bat let me know. I'm sure I have a spare one somewhere.
- I got permabanned for saying that Donald Trump is incapable of testifying in court without incriminating himself.
  
  How did you get banned for that? There's no way that's the whole story.
The crowd at reddit is losing the cream and it's just getting lower quality.

I also got banned for calling out someone making a disingenuous argument.
- To be fair, comments on Lemmy are essentially the same low quality as on reddit.
  
  For the most part that's the whole of society, people in general seem to have become quite shallow in the last 15 years it's wild to think people have so much to say but nothing to talk about. It makes holding conversations extraordinarily difficult for me to have because i get exhausted being the sole contributor of any substance.
I'm banned from like a hundred different subs. Most I've never even been to.

At some point their auto ban bot decided that because I sub to a bunch of subs with 'porn' in the title (wordporn, skyporn, food porn etc etc) that not only am I NSFW but that I also deserve to be banned.

Either that or I pissed off one of the mega mods.
I was drifting away from Reddit a few months before the first mass exodus i found a few sites and communities i like. I do say the structure of the fediverse (or lack thereof) is quite refreshing.
How old is your Reddit account?
