    Reddit’s ban hammer has gotten so bad it’s crazy. The idea is to make the place absolutely plain vanilla.

    A speed run technique to get shadow banned on reddit is to create a new account and then immediately message /u/spez saying

    “YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO AARON.”

      Or you could just say ‘Punching nazis is a moral good’ and get your entire apartment building lifebanned.

      Good times…

      Or you could just send a middle finger emoji and let the bird say it itself…

    4chan’s been going downhill for years as well. It’s been extremely ban-happy for a very long time. I recently got permabanned for posting a screenshot from Hatching 2022. Something similar has happened to me every time I’ve gone back over the past 10 years.

    Complains about toxic community they’re leaving

    Proceeds to be toxic in new community and gets pissy when they’re banned.

    They’re so indoctrinated they run straight back to the cesspool when they’re confronted with their own toxicity.

    Seems like good moderation. A weeks-old account taking to personal attacks getting temp banned is a good thing. They’re usually dodging a ban, but catching channers as collateral is a pleasant benefit.
