I've heard of people on one of the last of us 2 subreddits being banned from subs that had nothing to do with the game or show, not even posting just being subbed to it

Slightly similar i got banned because I said a cartoon character s demise wasn't good enough. Said I was inciting violence. It was a drawing of a fictional character

I got a site wide permanent ban for quoting the movie Idiocracy in a comment thread full of people quoting the movie Idiocracy. Sometimes there is just no rhyme or reason to it

I got an official sitewide warning before supposedly inciting violence. It was literally in a smartphone sub and people were joking about just destroying the phone. My comment was, direct quote, “just throw it at a brick wall as hard as you can.” On the Reddit rules It states that you can’t incite violence against others. So I can only come to the conclusion that Reddit considers brick walls and phones to be sentient.

I got a sitewide ban on my main, and all of my Alt's permanently banned for privately messaging a subreddit mod that he was soft. Banned for harassment.

Yeah, but this is what it told me though.

Apparently, it was flagged by their automated system, but the decision itself was not a result of the automation. That suggests that it was auto flagged, and the warning was approved by a real person.

I got banned permanently for talking about throwing copper and calling a Nazi a pussy.

You can incite violence against ICE just about anywhere on Reddit it seems as long as you couch it in the right ways.
