I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    Totally agree - when people start coming out as trolls/bad actors/fascists is when they’re rightly silenced

        Sorry bud, how about you start a thread and get some community feedback? Maybe your opinion is problematic or maybe the mods made a mistake.

          Banned. You can’t start threads when you’re banned.

          I tried asking questions about why exactly they were banning me and they wouldn’t discuss it. Communicating with me is “feeding the troll” in their mind.

          It all happened in a big wave, within the last six months of my having a reddit account, and none of them would discuss it. Believe me I tried. I made appeals, I asked for explanation, it was never given. Questions like “which rule did I break? Which comment was it?” would be answered with “You have been blocked from communicating with the mods of /r/whatever”. They just hung up the phone. I was all ears because these were communities I was part of for over a decade in some cases, and they would not communicate at all.

            Banning someone without explanation is a step further down the same path that contains downvoting someone’s answer to your question, without responding.
