I'm willing to bet this wasn't the reason that they banned you, rather, you got them upset by having an opinion they didn't like and speaking it outloud (like, say, saying Israel seems to be carrying out genocide on Palestinians), and they made a note of it so they could ban you in the next window of opportunity. They do this sort of bullshit all the time, sometimes using alts acting like assholes that never get banned no matter how many rules they break to try to rile you up. That way, they basically don't have to answer to anyone.

I was harassed and stalked by people on reddit targeting people in disability related subs especially in the autism subs. I reported them and their sockpuppet accounts and nothing was done because reddit sent a message saying that it did not break their rules. When I told one of the stalkers alts to leave me alone several times I was flagged by a bot as harassing them. I appealed it but reddit did not care.

Another time I suggested to someone a telemedicine quit smoking service may help them and that was being flagged as "unauthorized transaction of prohibited goods". They banned me for 7 days. They never even told me what comment I made but that was the only comment I could think of that might have caused it. Reddit themselves advertises these very same telemedicine clinics and you have to go through a doctor to obtain any medication, I was not sourcing any products. I sent them an email basically begging them to tell me specifically what I said that was wrong but they never replied. I said at the end "How am I supposed to learn from this if you won't even tell me what comment was against the rules and clearly explain it to me?". At least on most lemmy instances there is a modlog with what comment broke the rules and specifically why.

Meanwhile I see tons of subs and users doing way more than what I did. This coupled with the fact that I am part of the blind community and reddit banned the third party client I was using that had far better features for disabled users really turned me away from wanting to keep posting on reddit. Their global moderators and a lot of the subreddit and chat moderators are sometimes just straight up evil people who don't care about actual victims of abuse and harassment. I have begun to really limit my use of reddit because of this biased behavior.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
