Would that even count as a crime in the first place? Interesting either way, didn’t expect that would trigger a ban on the website.
Again, can totally see that happening on a sub, but giving the amount of vile that has been given a free platform on the site I didn’t think they’d bother.
They ban people very selectively and its always ideologically motivated. There was a period of time where you would get a 3-day ban for just upvoting the wrong posts. So you could lurk and still get banned for some reason. That happened to me multiple times before I decided to delete my account.
Probably the one where they doxxed somebody or something else completely justified. But nah, it must be being on Team Jacob instead of Team Edward. Clearly*.
Barring (some of) the mods engaging in the protests, it takes a special kind of hate for reddit to actually care. So it mostly boils down toe stuff they are legally required to care about: CP, doxxing, and death threats.
I like the decentralized non-corporate nature of this. But there is a HUGE risk of this getting to voat levels of “I was just banned for speaking my truth about why everyone should be ethnically cleansed” stupidity

I downvoted an unpopular admin comment once and got suspended for 3 days for “brigading”. It was in the negative thousands.
Nevermind I went to the subreddit for announcements, found that heavily downvoted comment, thought it added nothing to the discussion, because it was fundamentally ridiculous in my mind, and they determined that those actions constituted “brigading”.
It’s pretty easy, i got banned from a couple of subs for being left-wing (apparently calling out brigading from far-right subs was against the rules).
But i got a sitewide ban because I used an alt to ban evade (can’t remember the exact post, but somebody was asking for advise wrt to COVID in a legal sub (I was originally banned for for encouraging a user to get funny but illegal payback on their neighbors), and it felt urgent enough that I was fine getting banned.).
Once you get a siteban, trolls will flag report all your posts even on subs your not banned from, or at least whenever I brought up that r/UKpolitics is modded by a literal fascist, I’d get a new site ban for “ban evasion”, to the point where pretty much any encounter with a far right troll or YIMBY would get me a ban.
The admins also seem to work very closely with certain moderators, as was shown when they leaked a trans employees information to TERFisland subs.
So while powermods can’t get you a sitewide ban, some have the ear of the admins who can keep an eye on you until you break a sitewide rule.
And on a site which has alt-right subs, it’s hard to at the very least walk right up to the line on the rules wrt treating all commenters like humans.
No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?
Said that I would murder andrew tate is given the opportunity and apparently that counts as a credible threat of violence

That is very violent phrasing and you only deem it ok because it’s geared toward the “right kind of people”
I’m fine with that
Yes.
