No, I was targeted. I would say anything eventually and it would trigger a 24 hour ban near immediately. Then I’d appeal, win the appeal, come back to say one thing and BAM suspended within the hour.
I’m pretty sure I was on some list. My comments would get thousands of upvotes. I ran economy for a fucking minute (by way of being the first to respond to propaganda posts). Every time maga would attempt their bullshit I was there in a minute to respond to it. Then these suspensions kept happening, and eventually I started getting suspensions for months old posts immediately after an appeal went through.
I know it sounds crazy but I’m telling you, this was a targeted thing and I’m not the only one.
This was my experience as well. Definite targetting. Most of the bans coming after being critical of Capitalism. The Reddit incels and rightoids like to whinge that Reddit is anti-right wing and moderates those viewpoints into oblivion, but it's just cognitive dissonance or gaslighting. You can do just about anything short of direct threats or doxxing on Reddit and be just fine, as long as you don't question that which is unquestionable, i.e. Capitalism. Even inside some very socialist or left-leaning subreddits you see this.
