    I was banned from the Anti-Work subreddit for questioning why someone in a picket line was dressed like the wish .com version of Che Guevara. He looked ridiculous, nobody else was dressed up, and they were picketing a fucking Starbucks.

    I thought it was just a funny observation but the mods banned me after it got upvoted to top comment on the post lol

    An /r/Conservative post popped up on /r/All announcing that they would be banning anyone who shares a differing opinion, and bullshit like that. At some point in the post it said they didn’t know what to call that type of community. So I quoted that bit and said,

    “It’s called an echo chamber. You are admitting that this is an echo chamber and is not meant for real discourse or discussion.”

    I was banned within 3 minutes.


    I was banned from /r/Gaming for simply giving the exact version number .BIN file to use for PCSX in a thread asking on how to get PCSX working. I don’t know how their no link to piracy rule applies, but that’s what they used against me. The rest of the comments helping and the post itself should have also been removed and banned though, as they wanted to interpret their rules to mean any discussion of piracy or emulation. Up until the split, I had just been posting with an alt account to get around the ban.


    I was banned (and later reversed) from the entire site just a month before the API bullshit announcement for making a joke about punching Nazis on a thread that was a joke about punching Nazis. I wasn’t the only one, either. That entire thread got absolutely nuked by some pissed off Nazi admin. It took a week of spamming appeals before it was overturned by an admin who actually can understand context.


    I was banned from… Uh… I forget the exact name of the subreddit. It was one of the Feminism subs, but it was consistently full of misandrists not actual feminists. I pointed out their hypocrisy on a thread and was promptly banned.


    I was banned from /r/furry_irl for posting a trans related joke on a trans related post. The joke came directly from my sister, who is herself trans and heard the joke in her trans support group. The mods simply went “oh he’s pulling the ‘but I have black friends’ bullshit” and then disabled me from even communicating with the mod team, labeling me a transphobe.

    I got permabanned as “antisemitic” for criticizing Israeli politics. That this is a quite common tool used by the Israeli government to shut down any criticism of their actions is nothing new. But to see this applied in a subreddit actually surprised me.

      Used to get flagged as a suicide risk when interacting with the IDF foreign relations department. Saying things like the people in sheikh Jarrah deserve to live there.

    I was banned from r/whitepeopletwitter for following r/conservative then I was banned from both r/conservative and r/libertarian for suggesting that Biden knew about politics. Not that I agreed with him on anything, just that he had an above average understanding of how politics works

    I get banned from Facebook groups all the time for dumb reasons. Facebook group mods and admins have a God complex or something.

    @1Transient During a time where I temporarily used Reddit (around 2018), I would repost my memes from Instagram to some subreddits. One of the mods got upset at the Instagram watermark and banned me from the subreddit. Pretty hypocritical considering some of that subreddit’s most upvoted posts were Twitter screenshots.

      This one infuriated me. The entirety of Reddit is just memes reposting. You son of bitch for doing the exact same thing everyone else was doing

    I was banned from /r/politics for posting the famous Kennedy quote, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

    The ban reason? “Glorifying violence.”

    I mean, I do glorify violence, I just wasn’t doing so at that exact moment.

      I got a similar ban. Someone posted a video of a nazi getting punched and I commented “I will never not upvote a video of a Nazi getting punched”.

      I copped a 3 day site wide ban for inciting violence while the video itself remained up after hitting the front page…

    Getting banned from /r/conservative for stupid bullshit is like a liberal rite of passage. I got mine for suggesting, in a thread about Walmart, that the concept of “enough profit” could, theoretically, exist.

    Also site-wide banned (then reversed) for “sexualization of minors” when the post they quoted was me doing literally the opposite of that and calling out somebody else for it.

    I was shadow banned from r/soccer a few months ago and I still don’t know why. To be fair, I didn’t even try to contact the mods about it, that sub is awfully toxic anyway.

    Banned because I made a meme that reddit was once a platform for free speech now a social engineering tool, found any excuse on my profile to give me a label of hate speech, and also because I disagreed with abortion.

    I got banned from Am I The Asshole for calling someone in OPs story a loser from highschool (90s version of a neck beard who thinks he’s gods gift to the world). Turns out one of the mods was that exact same flavour of loser.

    I’m now permanently suspended for saying Andrew Tate deserved to get raped in prison and pointing out the irony of him objecting to house arrest when he was literally keeping people trapped in his house and was raping them. There were posts defending rape, but that was just sooooo offside.

    8 years and 200,000+ karma.

    Post was obv deleted by the mods (after 200 upvotes) so this is the best I got.
