Getting banned in communities you’ve never been to bc the admin disagreed with you in a public channel is keeping the Reddit pettiness alive.
Also, the lack of nuance is the same. If you have an opinion in a political comm, you basically have to write a novel describing your stance or people will take your brevity as an opening to attack you.
Still, there are some really great communities that respect diversity, are truly supportive, and kind that make me feel ok about the world.
this happened to me two days ago.
i got banned from several communities i'd never even knew existed. i must have pissed off someone who modded them.
weirdly enough i don't recall that happening to me on reddit, but i didn't post much outside of my hobbies and local subreddit.
The pettiness goes even farther than that. I've been banned from whole fucking instances because I downvoted bad content on /all. So not even interacting more than once or twice IN PASSING with a sub is enough for some power hungry twat to ban you from an instance with these petty tyrants
Sounds like you got banned from places that wouldn't be worth hanging out at in the first place. Fuck em ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if someone is that quick to get triggered by a gesture of disagreement, they couldn't possibly have a worthwhile community under their watchful gaze.
