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.

    My three notable bans:

    1. Banned from politics for quoting the Constitution on treason punishment
    2. Banned from gym for arguing with a “pro” claiming there are no stupid exercises and bad form doesn’t exist.
    3. Banned from child free for saying not every one that is child free hates children with the passion of a burning sun and wants them all to die.

      I still havent gotten a response from the site owners why I got completely removed (ip-ban)

      Last thing was me arguing with a mod about the reason I got sub banned: me simply commenting “source:[tabloid’s name]” under a news post that was baiting incitement. they claimed I was derailing when the whole post was literally just the blog post of that bad faith tabloid in a rather “serious” sub /de XD

      its a joke of a platform that carefully fosters a gullible army of bootlickers it seems, at least to me being left on read like that

      An old account got banned on multiple completely unrelated subreddits because I was having a discussion with someone that self identified as a “responsible pitbull owner” and I asked them as part of the pitbull community to talk to irresponsible pitbull owners and make them responsible instead of defending them. Turns out the “responsible pitbull owner” was one of those mod hoarders on their alt account and went full pitbull when somebody dared to disagree with them. I filed a complaint to admins for mod abuse and obviously nothing happened.

      And my current account has had multiple temporary bans for making fun of nazis. I mean, sure, I can take a temp ban for “inciting violence” when I remind the kids that every day is punch a nazi day. But these fragile little snowflakes can’t even take some basic banter and the mods fold immediately when the nazis start weeping. It’s funny and sad, isn’t it.

      When Epstein was sent to prison and was in protective custody, I suggested that he shouldn’t have special treatment and belonged in genpop.

      Banned for advocating violence against someone.

      May that mod have a spasm and faceplant hard on a gravel road, then be forced to drink cold hot-dog water while listening to Baby Shark at high volume on an endless loop. And may all their teeth fall out but one, and in that, may they have a toothache.

      I am permanently banned, for using the term “kick rocks and pound sand,” which is just American for “there’s nothing you can do.” An excuse to get one more leftist off the platform.

        I got permanently banned for insinuating Donald Trump was a pedophile. I appealed and they blew me off, no response. Tried to sign up for another account and got immediately IP banned for ban evasion.

        Id been on the platform for 14 years and had over 1M comment karma. Somehow the last 14 years of my contributions to the site never caused anything, not even so much as a subreddit ban, but pointing out that Donald Trump is a sexual predator was a bridge too far for them.

        I find it curious that Reddit Admins are trying to limit discussion of the factual statement that our current president is a documented child rapist. Guess the investors theyre courting are probably in the files, or at the very least, dont see nothin wrong with a little pedorasty.

          Reddit is quietly pivoting to become a Conservative platform, with lots and lots of monetization.

            I knew that the people running the show were scumbags, but i guess I never knew they were MAGA scumbags.

            I should have made the switch after their API horseshit, but I guess a lesson learned late is better than not learning the lesson at all.
