I unfortunately misclicked on a cross post to a progressive sub and wound up in the comments section of /r/Wild_Politics, in that sub everyone was praising the use of homophobic slurs in a TikTok by senate candidate Valentina Gomez in regard to the Olympian Imane Khelif. I simply explained that if Imane was indeed XY then she would have an intersex condition called Total Androgen Insensitivity and explained what that was and why it didn't make them trans or gay. /r/Wild_Politics then banned me citing I broke their rules, so I looked up their rules to see what they had on the books, surprised to see only a single BS rule, I replied to the ban message with "What rules? Snowflakes much?" which apparently is abhorrent harassment worthy of banning my 12 year old Reddit account and both of my alternate accounts.

Granted I did one muse about how terrible it would be if a local neonazi whose vehicle was photographed and posted on my local subreddit's car were to somehow catch fire and the owner were to get horribly burned trying to put it out. That earned me a 3 day ban by the admins. This was the only other interaction with reddit admins.

I've since appealed the decision which was immediately denied. I've also contacted reddit support via the form and gotten nothing but crickets. Apparently if I lived in the EU I'd have rights to arbitration to dispute the decision, but since I'm in the USA I'm just boned and banned from ever participating there again. Considering their intense ban evasion methods if I did ever want to use Reddit again, I'd have to use a privacy browser and make sure to never sign in on it with an account I've had tied to my phone in the past.

Are the reddit admins known for being right wing defenders or something? How is "Snowflakes much" suitable cause to permanently band an active reddit user with a pretty spotless track record of a dozen years?

I've just submitted another reddit support request for this, but it seems they don't care.
