Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.



Yep, I got a site wide ban for wishing a missile strike on Putin. “Threat of violence”… as if it was something that I threatened to do :/
I got one for commenting on the France subreddit that it wasn’t surprising some people would carry justice by themselves if the police and courts do nothing. I wasn’t justifying, merely explaining. Subreddit ban, then permanent sitewide ban a few minutes later.
I once got a ban for quoting the current US president. Apparently when a random anonymous redditor says it, it’s “inciting violence,” but when the president says it, it’s “patriotic.”
I got several bans for the same kind of thing.
didn’t realize that clearly quoting somebody else’s words so they could be discussed was me saying and meaning those words myself
First time is got a temp ban was when I said it was a pity that the Butler shooter missed. When I was back, I told to the story of why I was banned, and bam! Got banned again for quoting myself. Reddit is totally insane.
My ban was because I replied to someone who wished Trump would succumb to his cheeseburger gods. I replied that instead I hope he strokes out and suffers.
I got a ban a few times for “advocating violence” or whatever when I said “I’m surprised there haven’t been more attacks on [whatever shitty group is harming people]”
no judgement on it. just saying that I’m surprised they’re haven’t been more.
Did you send a missile strike?
Haha, I wish
And if not, WHY NOT
:)
Lmfao!
