My story about getting banned by reddit was really strange.
I was on /r/anime participating in a subreddit watch of Re:Zero. The only important thing about that show is the main character has the ability to go back in time by dying, he returns to a set "save point" defined by the plot.
At one point I said "
Try to get your sword repaired it's really useful for the small amount of fighting you can do, but more importantly you can use it to Kill yourself" which got me a temp ban on reddit.
Meanwhile this phrase didn't even get a peep
"Get a knife and be ready to stab myself to death if things are going south"
So it must have been a bot.
What was incredible of course is that the /r/anime mods apparently messaged the admins defending me and my post. This is mind you a 13 million user forum yet the mods feel really that strongly about defending users from admins.
IDK why the mods in /r/anime are like this but it's convinced me that it's the best modded subreddit by a large margin and it remains one of the only subreddits I actually use. (that and /r/slatestarcodex)
