Permabanned from a longtime account on my primary subreddit, and given an administrative sitewide temp ban for a few days for something that is stupid.
If you've heard of the Matt Araiza situation, you'll probably have an idea of how this happened. I was asking if we had known anything more about the girl who had lied about the whole thing or if she was getting off scot free. Permabanned for doxing (or attempted doxing, something stupid). This was buried deep on a thread about it, with a couple upvotes, and I got permabanned for it. When I asked why they were protecting the identity of a liar willing to ruin someone's life, boom this morning hit with a temp ban across the entire site. Oh well. My account was definitely not targeted for any other reason because I avoid politics entirely on that stupid site, so here I am.
(All the girls information, her face and name are online and published by papers that can be hit with libel, as I would later learn)
I'm proud to say I never had a reddit account, I only lurked and only made an account on here.
As looking in from the outside, you guys on reddit had to walk on eggshells SO much that it killed a lot of conversations early, hell from some of my posts I'd have been banned years ago.
I wasn't even doing stuff that matters. Just following a game and the college football and basketball subreddits. I hadn't even made a post lol. No idea why someone thought a singular message constituted harassment unless it ruined their ego for some reason.
