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.

They have enough users that they don't care that they could be banning long term users. It is ironic that they have their filters set so hypersensitive for the appearance of purity but I can find tons of hardcore porn on it.

or the fact that troll farms, palintir and israeli bots are very pervasive but almost never dealt with. Yet they are increasing thier sensitivity to non-propaganda bots.
