Had an account for around 8 years, during that time I participated in some more and some less heated arguments on reddit. Had multiple local bans, mostly for some mild stuff whereas the harsher comments would usually slip under the mods’ radar.
My account has been permanently banned on the entire reddit only after I went into discussion with some mods for some .ml-level ridiculous decisions.
Obviously arguing with people with power is an oppression to them.
Thinking back, my gut tells me the World Cup is too big to leave the sub in the hands of, “just some guy”, so the sub was probably made by someone who works at reddit and the mods are probably other reddit admins
So when I explained that I had no posted anywhere else because I hated reddit… I may have just told a reddit employee that I hate their site and that’s why they got so mad and banned me
I don’t have any proof of that but I do wonder if that is what happened
