Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

My three notable bans:

  1. Banned from politics for quoting the Constitution on treason punishment
  2. Banned from gym for arguing with a "pro" claiming there are no stupid exercises and bad form doesn't exist.
  3. Banned from child free for saying not every one that is child free hates children with the passion of a burning sun and wants them all to die.

Edit: I forgot to mention when time number 2 happened. I asked the mod "Why was I banned?" Then my entire account got a 3 month suspension for "Mod abuse" by the admins.

I still havent gotten a response from the site owners why I got completely removed (ip-ban)

Last thing was me arguing with a mod about the reason I got sub banned: me simply commenting "source:[tabloid's name]" under a news post that was baiting incitement. they claimed I was derailing when the whole post was literally just the blog post of that bad faith tabloid in a rather "serious" sub /de XD

its a joke of a platform that carefully fosters a gullible army of bootlickers it seems, at least to me being left on read like that
