I got perma-banned earlier this week. I make discord bots, was helping others out explaining some of the setups i use, a mod disliked that. Wasn’t against the rules. He banned me in a lot of places, I was trying to damage control due to how many I was being banned from, opening tickets and trying to at least figure out a fix or something and he painted it like I was stalking/ban evading, trying to find him IRL, from my own “business” account that was fully linked up to the website I had that was linked to my youtube/bots/bot building/game etc. Reddit took his side.
Means I also lost the subreddit and the users who were following updates.
End of the day, no matter how big the stuff gets, reddit is blacklisted and will remain that way indefinitely. They will never get business from me.
It was helpful for that for sure. 3d printing, TrueNAS, Bots, Python etc. But holy hell if you catch a mod on a bad day they can ruin years of progress. Its a shame it ended like that but its not the end of the world. Shit happens.
Plus… I dont miss the drama, everyone assuming your hostile when asking or talking about something.
