In a post regarding climate change I called another user an “Ignorant Slut” like that line from the Office. Anyways got permanently banned site wide and I just can’t help but wonder if that was necessary.
It’s not like I say that all the time, it was a one off instance and they just remove me from their site. I don’t mind it so much since it’s just a Reddit Account but it is really annoying since I can’t help but feel the admins had it out for me as they banned my account unjustly before and then reinstated it. But this time the ignorant slut was all the reason they needed to remove me from their existence.
Anyways just wanted to rant to the void on how dumb Reddit can be sometimes.
Are you sure that’s what you got banned for? Like, did you get a message saying that’s why? I’ve literally never heard of someone getting site banned for mild name calling.

Similar here. Banned from /r/news for some dumb mild argument about Elmo. Banned from /r/movies for mentioning piracy. Weeks later scrollimg through my feed on an alt and left a comment about how teachers should be paid better on a post about teachers getting pay cuts, which i didnt realize was in /r/news. First site-wide ban. Later left a comment on some post about a movie announcement without realizing where I was. Second site-wide ban. Same thing on another /r/news post a few months later. Permabanned on all my accounts, some 9 years old.
Honestly though about trying to start over, but this permaban coincided with the new API changes and general fuckery so I said fuck it and decided it wasn’t worth the trouble. It honestly got a bit too addicting so the slower pace here at Lemmy is a welcome change.
THIS is an excellent observation. Reddit became an addiction. I wasted hours a day there. I like it here. Less drama and I spend far less time with it.
