Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.
A moderator cannot BAN your account. They can ban you from posting on their subreddit, and can, often baselessly, get you reported to admins (who 100% of the time side with the moderators), usually flagging any kind of modmail conduct as “threatening or harassment”.
I’ve literally got a warning because I dared to ask a mod why they banned me - their response being a 30 day mute and a report to the admins about “Hey! I was wondering why you banned me, as I don’t think my comment broke any of the rules of the sub or Reddit” being threatening, and harassment…

*28 day mute :)
I’ve been temp banned from Reddit multiple times now, for simply opposing genocide & war on behalf of Israel. People getting banned from Reddit should be seen as a badge of honor & means they’re likely doing something right.
Can confirm, got permbanned for clowning on Nazis. It is a badge of honor to wear with pride.
Queue nazi-sympathizers showing up to say “yOu CaN’t JuSt CaLl AnYoNe YoU dIsAgReE wItH a NaZi!!1!1”
My brother in christ, the dude was wearing a red armband with a swastika and doing nazi salutes…
At least they’re politely lining up to do it.
Oh sorry, I meant cue… I always get those mixed up…
I got a 3 day ban for suggesting Venezualans “return the favor” on Trump.
Not if the Iranians return their favour first…
