I still have no idea why I got permanently banned. The interestingasfuck subreddit said I had multiple violations across accounts—something vague about participating in the Trump subreddit. Apparently, if you so much as post in that subreddit—whether you’re agreeing with them or talking shit to the MAGAts—then go back to interestingasfuck or any other sub with the same rules, they’ll permaban your account. And not just that one—they’ll ban any new accounts you try to make too. So honestly… I guess I DO know why I was banned, but compared to the vitriol I’ve seen on there, mine was not warranted. I’ve even appealed. Fucking hate Reddit now. Cowards.
You were banned because you were obviously a person.
Have you seen the comments lately? Most of it looks like AI bots are replying to AI, upvoted by other AI bots.
You got me really curious so I prompted ChatGPT to give me a redditor style comment that's anti-Trump followed by another far-left redditor's reply to it and this is what it gave me:
Original Comment (Left-Leaning Anti-Trump Perspective):
"It's honestly mind-blowing how Trump still has a cult following after everything. The man was impeached twice, incited an insurrection, and openly grifts his supporters with fake fundraising schemes. And yet, somehow, people still think he's their 'savior.' The cognitive dissonance is off the charts."
Far-Left Redditor Response:
"Because the system is fundamentally broken. Liberals act like voting blue is enough when the entire establishment—from corporate Dems to the GOP—is complicit in maintaining capitalism's stranglehold. Trump is just a symptom of the rot. The real solution isn’t 'vote harder'; it’s dismantling the system that enabled him in the first place."
^ -- this seems to be disturbingly accurate, I can only imagine this being produced at automated scale at this point.
