A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

    9 times out of 10, the subs that banned me for posting in another sub, were subs I would never wish to participate in anyway because they were generally racist, homophobic shitholes.

    The verified user bullshit, though, that can go to hell. They usually put their shit in that mode when it was generating real talk between two opposing view points, and would say it’s for the betterment of that when all it did was turn the comments into an echo chamber that was often much more toxic than just allowing the “other side” in.

      I was talking more about when you post a comment in a fringe sub (that popped out over a link or r/all) and just because you commented there you get banned from regular subs. Even if your comment was against racism/hate.

      And the bans were always without warning and arbitrary. One day you’re fine, next day a shitty main sub throws you a ban out of nowhere.

      If a nutjob right wing post pops up on my feed I sometimes can’t resist and go in there and start to discuss. Not like they can bring up any coherent arguments anyway.

        That’s what the 10th times in that “9 out of 10” was for. I remember commenting in /r/conservative because they made a big statement that essentially said they were an echo chamber without specifically calling it that (they went so far as to say they didn’t know what to call it lol) and I pointed out “Oh, you admit to being an echo chamber?” and got banned (naturally). But then a couple other subs I used did ban me because of that 1 post. It wasn’t to hard to get a reasonable mod in either sub and get them to actually read the comment and unban me, though.

        Largely the subs that did that shit, tho, were the right-wingers and extremists.
