I was banned from a single sub for wrong think. Months later for completely unrelated reasons I created a new account (I was looking to get healthy and wanted a fresh start rather than trying to clean up what I had). The sub that banned me was on the front page pretty often, and without realizing it I made a very middle of the road nothing comment there. The IP matched the ban list; they decided I was trying to get around the rules, and I was perma banned from the entire site. I was so bitter I wrote a script to use the API to delete all my posts and never went back. I had been trying to break my Reddit addiction for years, and all it took was them doing something I thought was unjust to make me hate them enough to never go back.

Had there been any way at all to view subs I was banned from, I could have looked at that and proactively blocked them so I never saw them again on my new account. However, reddit bans aren't transparent, so here we are.

I'm happy spez shat the bed so many times recently. There weren't any very good alternatives to reddit. I had tried Lemmy a year or so ago, but it was so dead I didn't really stick around. That's changed quite a bit.

I was banned from r/Minecraft for ousting one of the mods for being a child groomer in a thread about AntVenoms accusations.

When I tried to appeal the ban due to conflict of interest, I was banned for harrassment from reddit.
