I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.

I know this is Lemmy and Reddit is bad etc., but FYI when you get banned from one subreddit by its mods, it doesn’t ban you from the entirety of Reddit. You could comment if you wanted.

I was temp banned a few times from the air force reddit and then I think they reported it to the admins because I had a perma ban. I tried making another account and it shortly got banned as well. It’s definitely a site wide ban.

Ah, yeah, when you create another account to bypass a subreddit ban (or if they think you did it for that), the admins suspend your account. It can be very hard to come back after that, because all future accounts could be flagged as trying to bypass the sanctions.

TBF, even if it isn’t a perfect system, as an ex mod of a very active sub (a national sub), I prefer that the admins take actions.
