Well now this is trashy. I got permabanned from r/interstingasfuck for posting a comment in r/MensRights that was an attempt to correct some misinformation. I’ve never made a post in either subreddit and that was the only comment I’ve ever made in the MensRights subreddit. But r/interstingasfuck’s bot decided to permaban me even though I’ve not broken any rules.

The ban

The single comment I’ve ever made on r/MensRights

Man Reddit is trash.

    Fair amount of subreddits have banbots for shitholes under the, “Starve the beast” idea. r/MensRights is on par with theredpill for shitters. Fix is fairly easy for situations just like yours. Up to you if you want to utilize it though.

    Also you might not remember it but you’ve deffo interacted with interestingasfuck in some way. You don’t recieve ban messages otherwise. They added that so folks couldn’t do stuff like register bigoted sub names and ban folks from them.

      After the whole API and third-party app ban I was already leaving Reddit. I only comment once a week at most but I stuck around for the fringe subreddits like r/selfhosted. I am done with this corporate social media. It’s all trash, AI, and bots.

      I miss the good ol’ days when the internet was young. Would spend time on the IGN forums, find random Geocities sites, catch a seizure on someone’s MySpace page, or waste an afternoon finding random things using StumbleUpon.
