Comment on Reddit power users balk at chance to participate in IPO as Wall Street debut nears
magnetosphere@fedia.io 8 months agoI was targeted by someone pathetic whose feelings were hurt (knowing me, it was a remark about how MAGA folks are idiotic hypocrites). They dug through my post history, and reported a post I’d made months before about how someone needed a slap in the head. They reported it, and I was banned for “promoting violence”.
It wasn’t a permaban, but as far as I was concerned, it may as well have been. My account had been active for years, and I’d never been banned before. I felt let down that the mods had been fooled by such a stupid, obvious trick. Fortunately, a few weeks later, spez pissed everyone off and a lot of people left anyway.
Plus, I have the knowledge that I annoyed some troll SO MUCH that they read through months of my posts looking for something to report. Heh heh heh.

The fact that reddit cares is mostly used for harassment told me all I needed to know about how they're handling their community.
