I got banned from /r/interestingasfuck for simply saying "bunky". Only comment I've ever made on that sub. Before you ask what "bunky" means I was pointing out the subtitle in the video that was clearly misspelled. I think it was supposed to say "bunk mate". No appeal possible.

I don't think under any context I could take bucko offensively (or seriously for that matter).
It's like some term used by boomer villians in old western films when the protogonist upsets them.

Yep. During COVID a lady was having an online mental break down because she found out that her ex husband (who had custody of the kids) started sending the kids to school when they re-openned. I stated something like "I know it sucks when you don't feel in control of a situation where you feel like your kids are in danger but if it's any help to you- COVID is rarely fatal in school age children" and link the CDC data.
Banned. For 'speading COVID misinformation.'
So I asked how sharing DATA DISTRIBUTED BY THE CDC in its raw form was 'misinformation'...I got suspended.

I've gotten banned from the site for:
Reporting bullying (person I reported still has their account)
Reporting Child Porn (person I reported still has their account and the Child Porn is still up)
Reporting Violence and threats of violence (person I reported still has their account)
Reporting Mod abuse (Reddit isn't going to get rid of someone doing free labor so I get why the mod still has their account)
Reporting people who make multiple accounts to continue to troll on subs they've been banned on (Person I reported still has their account)
Reporting Sexual abuse and threats of sexual abuse (person still has their account)
I got banned from Self for telling someone on tumblr his view on women is stupid.
I got banned from pics for saying "I was really hoping this sub would go back to normal after the election." Before that I was commenting without a problem on pics then after that comment I got accused of participating in a "bad faith sub", when I asked which sub they're talking about I got muted for a month. The mod said in order for me to be unbanned I'd have to delete the offending comment (they didn't tell me which one because I'm 100% sure it doesn't exist) then comment "I have deleted the comment and am ready to be unbanned" Reddit doesn't have that power over me that I'm going to go back crawling to a basement dwelling unpaid internet janitor just to be a part of his echo chamber.
I just got banned from a Rap sub for saying "I'm convinced the mods let these (Racism) posts stay up so they can start a race war in the comments." The mod proved my point by banning me and leaving the race baiting post up.
I got banned from leopardsatemyface (you know, the sub about schadenfreude) for laughing at someone bad decisions.
I got banned from therewasanattempt because someone posted a video of a man claiming he saw a video about a Trump supporter shooting his gun at a Latino kid literally 5 mins after the election. I said "Bait used to be believable, why not post the video instead of talking about "this video" you saw."
Worst part about Reddit is that there's no point in appealing because you always get the same message "We have reviewed your appeal and you ban stays". WTF is the point of an appeal system if you're not going to bother actually reading them?
My advice is don't report anybody because reddit will say "you're abusing the report button" and you'll end up getting banned.
This site turned into shit so quick.

Facebook is the same but getting worse and worse.
I only use it to keep track of local events, it's excellent at recommending concerts and hobby events that I'd otherwise miss because I can't possibly keep track of events happening 50km away without local knowledge groups.
Some of the groups have been inundated with AI bots and obviously fake profiles, but trying to report them usually ends up with me being banned.
The AI bots are scary but the real people are scarier when they make blatant death threats, or threaten to rape or stalk people. Yet as you've discovered, if I report those horrific comments, I'm informed that 'These comments have not been removed as they do not go against Community Guidelines' but then if I request a review I'm informed they will not remove the comment, but instead I'm sent a list of trauma councellors or police resources.
If I post the hate speech or death threat comments into Meta AI, in quotes, saying 'Facebook informed me that this comment does not go against Community Guidelines, what is your opinion' Meta AI tells me it is definitely hate speech and I should contact the local police to report the person making the threats.

u/FreebooterFox Nov 24 '24
Yeah, and they know that. They just wanted to boo-hoo about it, and since they can't do it in the sub that banned them, they decided to do it here, instead.
Funny how their post wound up attracting that sort of crowd, too. Lot of posters from r/conspiracy and the like that don't normally post here. The almighty algorithm clearly picked up on the topic and pushed it under noses of folks who still obsess over this kind of stuff.
The funniest bit to me is that if you give them flak for making a shitty joke, they'll just pivot to sealioning, or Just Asking Questions™ about it, or they'll try to turn it around to make it criticism of you, somehow, instead. This sort knows they're stirring the pot just for the sake of doing so - they actually like that about themselves. They fancy themselves as some kind of maverick that's got insider knowledge that the rest of us plebs are too sheepish to understand. They work so hard to make this such a big part of their personality, that when it comes down to it, they wouldn't know it if an actual conspiracy came by and bit them in the ass.

That in itself is peak stupidity to me.. you've not even done/said anything wrong.. but just by virtue of you being in X sub.. they ban you from a totally different sub.. that is the kind of shite that gets me.. it shows peak groupthink and the absolute inability to handle criticism of your ideas whatever they may be!
EDIT: My personal one is, a trans wrestler whom I'm a big fan of posted a clapback to somebody who was making the usual dumbass statements and I said 'lol wrestlersname.' that's it. literally nothing else.. and was banned for hate speech. reached out and mod looked into it, was banned by a reddit mod, not a mod for that sub.. so, a mod who doesn't even understand the sub they are modding.. banned me for saying lol and a name.. I've literally got photos of me at at event with this star! but no, writing LOL was banworthy..
Reddit mods are let's be honest, a joke. it's a powertrip for the underdog. powerless in their day to day lives, but on here, they get to come and banhammer people for whatever they see fit, with very little reprisal/justice, it is what it is!

I was in China, about 400 miles from Wuhan, when the outbreak was emerging (Dec '19 - Jan '20). The locals back then were all calling it Wuhan Flu.
Local news was full of stories about people who spoke with a Wuha/Hubei accent/dialect being refused service in shops, restaurants and hotels. There were even a few villages who bulldozed their freeway exits to stop people from coming to their communities.

Perhaps this is because people use this idea as hate speech? Did you?
The China Flu, for instance. Name calling and inciting hate in an attempt to cover for the confusion and inaction throughout the Whitehouse as people across America died. Didn’t happen in many other industrialized countries. Korea for instance.
~200,000 unnecessary deaths in the USA in 2020. Life expectancy dropped by 1.8 years in the USA. A Russian-style response.
I suppose that’s all fine if you didn’t die, but sucks for your neighbor’s dead grandma. Sucks too, for you if your young third generation US citizen daughter was smashed in the face by some anti-chinese “patriot”. Your grandparents having fled to the USA from thugs just like this.

It spread from Wuhan after it leaked prematurely. The grant request literally states they intended to “release the Covid-19 nano particles into bat caves” all along🤷♂️ was it created there? We’ll never know bc it was shipped all over the world. The early 2019 research request drawn up in 2018 from the DOD literally reads “Covid in Ukraine”. The original grant from for its creation is in 2014 with a grant for $23.8 million to Metabiota, still up on the official USASpending.gov website🤷♂️ the VP of EcoHealth Ukraine Dr Andrew Huff said on camera “we created Covid and we’ve worked with the CIA since 2015.” Only 1 year from the Ukraine Coup by Obama according to the CFR and Time and BBC.
