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.
Sounds like you were a dick and didn’t realize and doubled down. No way to tell now.
I once got banned from some weird parenting subreddit I’d never visited because I said cheeseburgers aren’t kosher, some mods are just freaking weird (or bots.)
I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.
Reddit mods don’t need to follow any sort of logic.
And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.
There sure are cases of injust behavior by power tripping mods. That being said just presuming guilt and malice is unfair to the volunteers taking care of reddit today.
“Taking care of reddit”
lol fuck reddit
But its okay to presume guilt and malice of the person commenting here?
What a bold and insulting statement to make with absolutely no information to back it up.
Based on how you tell the story.
It’s a reasonable scenario for the result and your interpretation of it.
People really ought to read who they are replying to.
Sounds like you were a dick and didn’t realize and doubled down…
I realized I was a bit off base. Seems like you took it to heart.
You could have just not typed anything and everything and everyone would have been better off for it.
