What subreddits will ban you automatically for commenting in Lockdown Skepticism?
Turns out, a whole lot of them. Here's my list. I'm probably going to have to make a throwaway account to post there because it's getting annoying.
I have been automatically and permanently banned from...
- tifu
- offmychest (though that was for a comment in CoronavirusCirclejerk)
- oddlysatisfying
- oddlyterrifying
- HolUp
- PrematureCelebration
- TIHI
- trashy
- rant
- cats (yes, I was banned from a cat subreddit for saying that I dislike covid restrictions despite being completely pro-vax)
- MadeMeSmile
- youseeingthisshit
- probably vaxxhappened but I can't remember
- madlads
- starterpacks
- justneckbeardthings
...simply for commenting on a LockdownSkepticism thread. Almost all of these bans happened today.
The only ones I've ever actually posted in are HolUp and starterpacks. Well, and now justneckbeardthings.
I'm going to wait another 12 hours or so, and hopefully I won't get banned from anything else. After that I think I'll be in the clear. I wasn't too active there for a while (was super active in 2020) so I didn't realize that the ban wave had become a thing. Getting unbanned sounds like a very annoying process as well; basically you have to swear that you'll never post in an Unholy and Impure subreddit ever again and delete a bunch of your old comments. But I'll have to do it if it happens with a sub I actually care about.
This is ridiculous. Thankfully, I don't really post on any of those, just lurk. Regardless, I'm done using my main account to comment there. I know that's what they want, to stop discussion that goes against the mainstream narrative, but I generally don't care enough about politics and real-world events to sacrifice posting in subreddits that have nothing to do with that. I'll wait a while, then make a throwaway.
