A man who grabbed our concept of a centralized internet by the balls and squeezed it so hard that the Lemmy’s user count 65xed in a 3 months period. Thank you for your service

Reddit is the only major platform I've ever been banned from. And no it wasn't intentional.
My 12 year account was banned. Still not sure why. Prior to that, i was banned from r/idiotsincars for speaking out against stereotypical jokes on Asians with bad driving by stating the statistics that Asians are not the worst driver. I guess that ruined their joke in that subreddit. Then they shadow banned me. My new accounts posts can't be seen by the public.
See I kept trying to tell people, cuz I was in that Century Club thing that you get from having me a certain amount of likes my comment or Good Karma or whatever.
And I told people that sub reddit bans need to be made 90 days of the longest, simply because the permanent bans were being blatantly abused.
I had many people agreeing with me
Seems like they doubled down
To be honest, Reddit is too liberal. And this is coming from a long time liberal voter. You can't say anything anymore. Everything is sensitive and inappropriate base on what's trendy. Freedom of speech means there should be of different voices. But reddit only wants certain voices. Apparently, the downvoting system is not enough. They have to go extra step to let a small group of individuals to decide, okay this guy will be forever banned from posting on Reddit. That's insane amount of power and influence. I now lost my voice on one of the most popular and engaging social media platform. Crazy huh.
Exactly, honestly, even though it's not as okay to say as it used to be, it almost felt liberating to see the word "retarded" used on a forum without that person being automatically banned.
Reddit summarized: I got temp banned from a subreddit for calling a neo-nazi a cracker so I made the mod's message "Calling someone a cracker isn't standing up to racism" my flair on SubredditDrama where I proceeded to get perm banned from for spoiling Hogwarts Legacy before literally everyone on that subreddit started doing it so it was reduced to a temp. Oh and that one time I got a perm from a certain hexbear-affiliated subreddit for pointing out that some guy receiving a bunch of positive attention was probably an anti-semite but it would be a few years later before I got banned entirely off that site. Point is, reddit mods will ban you over the stupidest shit.
It really is telling that I've been on the internet since way before I should have been on the internet, and the only thing I've ever been banned from are various credits and then Reddit itself.
