A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

    I was talking more about when you post a comment in a fringe sub (that popped out over a link or r/all) and just because you commented there you get banned from regular subs. Even if your comment was against racism/hate.

    And the bans were always without warning and arbitrary. One day you’re fine, next day a shitty main sub throws you a ban out of nowhere.

    If a nutjob right wing post pops up on my feed I sometimes can’t resist and go in there and start to discuss. Not like they can bring up any coherent arguments anyway.

      That’s what the 10th times in that “9 out of 10” was for. I remember commenting in /r/conservative because they made a big statement that essentially said they were an echo chamber without specifically calling it that (they went so far as to say they didn’t know what to call it lol) and I pointed out “Oh, you admit to being an echo chamber?” and got banned (naturally). But then a couple other subs I used did ban me because of that 1 post. It wasn’t to hard to get a reasonable mod in either sub and get them to actually read the comment and unban me, though.

      Largely the subs that did that shit, tho, were the right-wingers and extremists.
