how did you get permabanned?
I was just permabanned on 3 accounts for anti-ice/trump/pedo comments. 2 existing accounts were 10 years old. One was pretty much just for NSFW/NSFL stuff and I rarely commented on anything with.
One new one I made afterwards was permabanned within 5 hours for ban evasion.
Somehow I forgot I’d made one with “sign in with Apple” a while back and it was on my iPad. That account still works fine.
It’s weird.
All of my accounts got permabanned on Reddit for calling someone "A piece of fucking human garbage" for saying that only vulnerable and old people died from Covid and how Covid wasn't a big deal. I lost friends in their 20s to it.
Apparently what I said was inciting hatred and violence. But saying a deadly pandemic that killed millions "wasn't a big deal", and "Your friends were probably going to die anyway" is perfectly okay to Reddit Admins.
