Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

Looks like the account is reinstated. Good to know that's how to reach human support there: be Literally Paul McCartney.

The posts are gone, though. I hope this was the decision of McCartney or his team. Reddit doesn't deserve him.

celebrity accounts have special priveleges from getting banned arbitrarily. Sinese is another celeb that has been posting his usual propaganda, how convenient for the guy to suddenly show up just before the election and posting military ganda. and shortly after that how he "left hollywood for his son" and not because he came out a REPUBLICAN shill(subtley) that would derailed his career in hollywood anyways.

My first post, after getting reinstated, would be to tell reddit to go fuck themselves

Macca should buy Reddit, fire spez, and along with him, every single power-mad agenda-driven mod. Then sell it and make a profit.

I know we'd like a Good Guy With Money™ to swoop in and rescue various corners of the internet, but I think Sir Paul has other things to do.
